The Hinster!

My old homey from Soma (Somey?) paid another visit to Sendai from HK, to see me and to go shopping with her beau. We popped over to a PopUp and hopefully you can see the results in this reel:

 

(DOH! I don't think that reel can be viewed) 

Godzilla PopUp how did she know I might enjoy meeting there? Best pics follow.

 Don't turn around! Don't turn around! Don't turn around!

Here's a link to the Godzilla Caravan.

Proudly sporting this T-Shirt that Hinnie gifted me. (Good thing, I could never afford it!)

Afterwards, we poked into the Pokemon store. She bought a couple of items and we scammed a pose with these Pikachu.

Pikachu wears several classic outfits from all over Japan. 

Forgive me if I don't know the names of these Pokemen (I'll get some flack for that one).

Outside the Parco...

 

We stopped for a bite and exchanged some gifts. I gave her some Gatcha goodies (Broomstick animals and Guardian cats), a Tit, Chucky socks and a Kuromi pouch to put them in.

 

She gave me these awesome TMNT/Sanrio Happy Set toys.

And some Choco-Pistachio and Nuts.

Ciao Hinnie. See ya next time!

 

In other news, I watched Ginger Snaps for the first time. Lots of fun, and I vaguely recognized some of the locations.

I need an Oni. How about this crew?

 

These four are underlings of Shuten-Doji who I wrote about here. Their names are Kuma-doji, Hoshi-kuma-doji, Toguma-doji and Kin-doji. They kidnapped women and then took care of them. Although it doesn't say so in the script, they probably all had their heads chopped off.

And for once, I remembered to include some Comic covers from my collection.

Ya gotta love the wallpaper over at AEIOU but beware in case you get disemVoweled!

I'm Ticked Off!!

The last time I intended on writing in my blog was January 9th, almost 9 months ago! I started, then faltered, then tried again, got writer's block, made another attempt, aborted my mission, then realized I'd let it go too long! What I planned to write was about these Godzilla Burgers at McDonalds. They have disappeared since then.

 

A. Spicy Thick Beef & Potato. B. Smoky Pepper Chicken. C. Cheese Double Teriyaki.

 

 

 

To my recollection, they weren't very edible. The best was probably the Chicken.

More important than the food was this Godzilla/Be@rBrick/McDonalds collaboration they had going on.

 

Although I was broke back then, I did manage to scrape together enough to order one.

I am pleased with this. I was less pleased when they took it from an exclusive set, only ordered online with a deadline, to selling them over the counter in stores. Ah well. They have doubled in price if you try to find one in the used market these days.

These were all to promote Godzilla Minus One way back when. Since then Gojira has won an Oscar!

   

Okay. That's what I would have written 9 months ago. I need to get back into the swing of things considering the Countdown to Halloween 2024 is starting next month!

I just returned from a whirlwind tour of Toronto and spent three weeks cataloguing a ton of comics, and readying them for sale. I did come across a box of Tick Toys! What ticks me off is that I can't keep them in my friend's basement much longer and need to sell them.

The only place that showed any interest was The Silver Snail. They don't buy toys per se yet were willing to consider taking them off my hands. If I had access to eBay, that would be the way to go. Or could I get them shipped here? Hmmm.
