#jakke —☆— in character

[vvarvvon]

you will always be welcome here. (asher to jakke) & if they want to get to you, they have to go through me first. (ryker to any of your babs) (both from the found and adopted families prompts)

found / adopted families

new york city had never been home. not even during his years at camp half blood—and later on the princess andromeda—had jakke ever been at home. home was reserved for his father's voice telling stories of gods and monsters with euphemistic names. home was reserved for his mother's creepy translated lullabies being sung in alto. home was for the sounds of children's footsteps following him around.

no, home was not for the magic shop of a son of loki and his child of hecate. even if the atmosphere was the most comfortable jakke had felt in the states since the war ended three years ago. there was a reassurance of sorts, knowing that there was someone keeping track of magical artifacts, someone who wasn't jakke himself with all his prior commitments.

but being truly welcomed... "you can't know that." it had been all too easy for him to betray those at camp who thought of him as a brother. all too easy to leave everyone behind each divine sibling who ever trusted him.

hailey smiled. people had been avoiding her since she came back to camp. no one had said anything mean to her face since kain had become her guard dog, but it was still a lonely existence. but this son of khione was saying that he, too, would be a friend. "i can protect myself from other kids. you don't have to be my friend." but wouldn't it be nice, her thoughts whispered, to have more friends? more people to lean on.

I got really excited about my new phone camera and wanted to take some pictures of my Sonic figure collection. They keep me company on my work desk while I draw. :)

World Of Nintendo- Green Shy Guy

[thevegetablewhichnoonedaresname]

507 is in the running for my least favorite episode, which I think is actually a compliment because I don't hate it, it just feels less funny to me because the singing makes it take longer and lowers the JPM (jokes per minute). also, I do enjoy musicals, but I have to fight a very strong natural cringe response when people start singing in non-musical stuff, even if it's not bad

"Well. . . That's a damn shame."

[about character below cut if you're curious]

Meet JAKK! The Primordial Deity of many domains, and half of The Great Destroyer, a disgraced, former creator god. After the splitting of the creator god, He and His Brother, his literal other half, were sent to be stationed in The Infernal Realms- The Bugverse version of Hell!

Best described as morally grey at best, cruel at worst, Jakk is known for being much more fitting of his spot in the infernal than many of the other leaders of the infernal realms. He was a good war master and overlord when he did have his position, except, whoops, Jakk got kicked out of Hell!

One too many attempts to gain more power landed him on Earth, 'cursed' to walk the planet for the rest of his godly life. The only problem? He found himself LOVING Earth and everything about it. 'Earthly Delights', as he would put it, are far better than anything he could've gotten or experienced in the infernal.

Now what does he do? Wander Earth, following the scent of Absynth, the creator of The Infernal Realms. Why is he searching for Absynth? Well, lets just say Jakk is NOT pleased with being kicked out. He just wants to talk, that's all. Nothing more- or at least that's what he would tell you.

A turnaround of the Modern Tails with Ring Item 4" articulated action figure, released by Jakks Pacific in 2021. This was part of Wave 6 of the series, which gave the characters a flourescent look. Support us on Patreon

[neoclassic-sonic]

Metal Knuckles receiving a Funko Pop and Fang receiving a Jakks Pacific 2.5 Figure (as well as Trip being announced to get one too in the next wave) all in the past year strikes a very interesting development in terms of Sonic Merchandising!

For the longest time the characters available to be used in Classic Sonic merchandising have always been Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Dr. Eggman, Metal Sonic and Super Sonic. It's always been this way since 2009 when First 4 Figures first released a line of figurines done in the Classic Style. (Two years before Sonic Generations by the way!)

And every company afterwards followed the same trend. (... Not always. Amy and Metal Sonic's inclusion is always dependent on if the company has enough ''character slots'' to fit them and Eggman's status as a non-animal villain puts him in a unique position where he's sometimes included sometimes not but yknow potato potato) Regardless, for the longest time no other character was /added/ to that 7 piece lineup.

That is... until the release of Sonic Mania Plus in 2018, bringing back two beloved characters Mighty and Ray into the Classic spotlight. And not as cameo characters either but as main protagonists in their own right.

Now a little background is needed, for the longest time a toy company called Jazwares held the license for making Sonic articluated figurines (there were a few others who had the license too but Jazwares was THE head bitch in the industry), they lost the license in 2013/2014 to Tomy who would go on to make Sonic Boom Figurines and then regular figurines in 2017~. Tomy would lose that license to Jakks Pacific in 2019~.

During Jazwares run, they released their line of Classic figurines but lost the license before they could release Knuckles

(They have an eggman too btw just. not included in this pack)

And during Tomy's run, they released their own Classic line too in 2017 (bundled with a modern version of the characters figurine and a copy of a comic book from Archie Sonic themed around the character...

... well. supposed to be. Archie lost the license to the comics in the middle of the series so Sonic and Knuckles had Archie books while Tails and Metal Sonic were delayed.

The status of their releases (iirc) were actually really... doubtful... Keep in mind this was in the middle of Sega reviewing the Sonic licenses before Forces, after cutting Archie, Tomy was also on the chopping block. Thankfully the two released a year later in 2018, their initial comic books were replaced with english versions of Sonic Comics that were posted for Sonic's 25th anniversary. These were the only way you could get english versions of those comics I think?

Amy and Eggman were originally planned for this series as well, shown off in the 2017 catalogue that initially announced this line but Tomy lost the license soon after Tails and Metal Sonic release. The fact the two even released was kind of a hail mary, I think it was generally agreed back then that they were gonna be shelved and only got to release /because/ of those 25th Anni comics.

Jakks Pacific would get the toy license in 2019 but during their first year... they would only release /Modern/ Sonic figurines. And they didn't release waves of products as fast as they are nowadays. Back then each new announcement was like a dripping faucet. Hell, from what I remember, their very first line of products wasn't even articulated figures but stretchy figures?

We got the pinball figures in 2019 though,

Which at least told us that A) Jakks Pacific had the license for classic sonic products and B) Mighty! and Ray!!!! First ever merchandise!!! The lack of Amy though did set us in that weird limbo were people were wondering if Classic Amy would ever be acknowledged by Sega. Especially post Sonic Mania. Keep in mind 2017 was like that soft reset of the franchise and her not being in Mania at all, not being included in Tomy's classic merchline in 2017-2018, not being included in these pinball figurines, only ever being used in promotional stuff like the shorts and two posts on twitter... (at the time) like. Amy fans were really worried for her!!! It wasn't until Sonic's 30th IDW Comic where we finally get to see her again in any substantial form and that was all the way in 2021!

Anyway, we finally got the articulated figurines announced in 2020 but the first few lines... only had /modern/ sonic stuff.

The first two waves of both the 2.5 inch and 4 inch line only featured modern characters. Thankfully classic series figurines would be announced for both lines around Fall, classic sonic for the 2.5 inch line in December and...

THATS RIGHT BITCHES, MIGHTY FOR THE 4 INCH LINE

Releasing NOVEMBER 2020, our very first Classic Sonic articulated figurine and its MIGHTY. I remember being so hyped for that. It was kinda awkward since these were the first two classic toys and mighty was bigger. Thankfully Sonic would get a 4 inch figure in the wave in February but Mighty would get a 2.5 inch figure the much later in October.

Starting then classic characters would gradually be introduced in the figurine line. For 2.5 inches:

Tails would get his on January 2022

Amy on February 2022

Knuckles and Eggman on June 2022

And Ray! on September 2022! alongside Metal Sonic

After that badniks (and mecha sonic (2023)) would be joining the series throughout the years. The 4 inch line would see a similar path but with different characters kinda? After Sonic in February we would see:

Mecha Sonic and Eggman in August 2021

Eggrobo in June 2022

Ray in September 2022

Tails in February 2024

Knuckles in March 2024

Amy in September 2024

(Yes, the classic figures really wouldnt get that much releases in the 4'' line ironically enough. It's kinda accepted that, proportions wise, Classic Characters work better as 2.5 inchers and Modern Characters work better as 4 inchers. Eggman, Mecha Sonic and the hardboiled heavies would release as 4 inchers though and they work better in proportion with the 2.5 inch sonic and friends)

What was that? Yes! The hardboiled heavies finally receive 4'' figurines! Heavy Gunner in December 2023 and Heavy King in the next wave March 2024! finally after 7 years after their debut game!

The other heavies have yet to recieve figurines but it's only a matter of time really. Especially since Fang released as a 2.5'' last August and Trip will be getting hers before the end of the Fall.

Which brings us back to my original point, We're finally getting new characters in Classic Sonic merchandising! The Hardboiled heavies were long overdue, and I was hesitant to consider them as a pivotal moment,,, they're older characters and badniks for one thing. But Fang??? Metal Knuckles??? Trip? Something must have changed in Sega's product team and imo this bodes well for the future. I won't get my hopes up and expect Bean or Bark despite them appearing in Sonic Mania and yes while they've been really active as of late due to IDW Fang the Hunter miniseries, Fang's inclusion is definitely a Sonic Superstars thing. It's safer to assume that characters who get figurines are most likely going to be those who've made an appearance in games. Which brings us to Metal Knuckles. who's a Sonic R character, sure, but his design and recent release definitely points to Sonic Superstars... where he shares his minor role with Metal Amy, Tails and Trip.... look. I'm just saying. I'd much rather see the Metal series come to Jakks Pacific more than the badniks or Rocky or Flicky or whatever.

!! jakke cortes & OPEN (mutuals & non; children of hecate) !!

being made of mist, created to always know where those of the divine world were, jakke was always aware of those around him. of their auras, their emotions, their temperaments ("their vibes," as his younger brother would say; benes needed less screentime, in jakke's opinion).

point being—it was not often jakke was caught off-guard.

a sibling stepped foot into his store. but not one he would have expected—three sets of small feet, followed closely by two heavier sets. the one who crossed his threshold was also of the gods. one of his creator's children.

how odd. most of the hecateans he was close with had been slaughtered, killed by their fellow demigods passed three years ago.

"why are you here?" he had moved on. been moving on for the past three years. (trying to, at least. it's hard to move on when every time he closed his eyes he saw those he failed, those he slew.) closer stores existed if they had needed supplies; he wasn't one to entertain social calls.

Free Idea for Mattel:

Since the Jakks Pacific Disney ILY4Ever dolls are doing well, and I just saw that there is going to be a line of Doorables fashion dolls with the same Disneybounding theme, you should look into getting the license from either Warner Brothers (who now also owns, among other things, Hanna-Barbera) or Nickelodeon Viacom Paramount to do a whole ongoing series of "Barbie Loves _______" dolls wearing clothes based on their characters

You've done it before, sporadically, you can do it again.

I would honestly be surprised if Mattel isn't trying to do this already, although, more honestly, I'd suspect that Mattel is more likely trying to figure out how they can also do Disney themed fashion dolls, and without learning from the failure of the Sanrio dolls that they need to be Barbie. Playline Barbie.

C'mon, a Paramount license alone would give you the ability to release a line of dolls with one being Barbie Loves Spongebob, one being Barbie Loves MTV, one being Barbie Loves Star Trek. A Warner Brothers license could give Barbie Loves Bugs Bunny, Barbie Loves The Flintstones, Barbie Loves Supernatural

I'm so excited to finally be able to post this! Our kids are dressed as monsters from an MMO called Ragnarok Online. It was my first online game, and I really loved it!

The game is heavily inspired by Norse mythology, and this place they're in is Niflheim, a dangerous place full of monsters and a very creepy town. Phoebe is a Sohee, Gerald is a Bongun, mine and my husband's characters are a Bathory and a Skeleton Archer, and we've got Arnold as a Jakk (without the pumpkin head) and Helga as a Loli Ruri, with her monitor lizard in cat ears taking the place of Loli Ruri's black cat. We've also got Ludes (the yellow ghosts, residents of Niflheim) and a Giant Whisper (the big white ghost)!

This was very fun to do! I used the official art for the Loli Ruri card as a reference for colors and the background, while putting my own spin on it.

Happy Halloween, everyone! Hope you all get lots of candy!

Holiday Unboxing Marathon (8/?)

This is my first Disney ILY fashion doll (not counting my 18" 'I <3 Ariel' doll). I'm not a huge Disney fan and I've never seen Tangled, but everything about this girl's aesthetic appeals to me, so I thought she'd be a nice addition to the collection despite my ambivalence towards the brand.

The second outfit is definitely a plus! I really like all her pieces, though I wish the skirt was a little longer.

Sadly the one I ordered has a small paint blemish near her right eye, but otherwise I'm extremely pleased with the quality of this doll overall. Still, unless Jakks releases another that checks similar boxes for me--purple, curly, freckled--I doubt I'll be getting another of these. The character/fandom focus of ILY just doesn't appeal to me in any meaningful way.
