There Might Be Giants.

Today, I'm going to start with my Yokai, and see where it goes from there.

This giant named Daidarabotchi has a body like a mountain range when he's sleeping, likes to dig up swamps and is peaceful. BORING!

Oh, he's a forest spirit that shows up in Princess Mononoke. That qualifies him as more interesting.

Let's go straight to my Venom figure. Dr. Strange falls under its spell.

 

I haven't supplied any Treats lately, here is what Misdo (Mister Donut) has up for grabs these days. I chose not to wait in line for one.

Let's add some Mall decorations while I'm at it.

These are from a Disney Villains lineup.

Speaking of Disney villains, there are little pouches within this Gatcha machine.

I have SCAR in my car but I'm not going outside in my pjs to take a picture.

I saw TWO movies today, one in the mall on the way home from work. It was released today and is a lovely bloody romp. The Threequalizer. (Equalizer 3). It was okay. Hopefully that'll put an end to Denzel's take on the character. (Whoa. Queen Latifah had FOUR seasons? I saw the first season and recall enjoying it.)
TRIVIA question: What famous Horror movie has an Equalizer connection? Answer in the comments.

The second movie is courtesy of my Twitch connection. The Lady Vampire (Onna Kyuketsuki) from 1959. The title is misleading though. Sure there is a Vampire, but he's no lady; though his prey is.

Creepy and fun.

I'll leave you with another Countdown Blogger, Hellowe'en Horror.

Let's see what mischief I get up to tomorrow, I'll be heading downtown for the afternoon.

Marvellous!

To celebrate the dvd/bluray/netflix release of Captain America Civil War, Marvel has collaborated with T-card and released its own card. Now when I buy gas at Eneos, rent a movie at Tsutaya, or buy something at Family Mart, I can gain points and have my very own cool looking card.

Oh cool, there is some kind of tie-in with Doctor Strange which unfortunately we have to wait until late January to see.

Badges!



In a further quest to suck all the money from my wallet, there is also a "Kuji" (Lucky draw). Drop 700 yen (plus tax natch) and you can win glorious prizes. I haunted 6 stores yesterday until I found a place that sold them. I bought three and landed a mug, stickers and a tote bag. I went back to the same place today and it was almost sold out! Therefore, I did the only logical thing and bought the remaining kuji.

Thanks to this, I won the "A" prize, the "C" prize and several "E and H" prizes. But because I cleared out the lot, I also landed the special "Last One" prize.

Cap vs. Iron Man! By the way, if you're keeping track, Cap is beating Iron Man in the polls by 55%-45%!

UPDATE: I forgot to add this picture of the "D" prize, a very nice tote bag with the Marvel logo on it that I won on the first day of the contest.

3/4 pouches. (One double)

1/2 Big Towels.

This really is big, it's about two metres long!

4/6 sheets of Stickers. (3 doubles)

The ones I'm missing.

 4/6 Mugs (2 doubles).

The ones I'm missing.

UPDATE: I am running low on funds, so I couldn't buy more than two more kuji. I got another rerun of stickers and 1/5 posters. I'd say that this is the best one.

A pretty good haul, I must say! I'd still like a pillow though!

The only negative thing about the purchase is that the store manager refused to give me the display poster even though I had just dropped a ton of cash. He no longer has a display since I cleared it out so why does he need the poster? All of the staff were on my side but shrugged their shoulders in assent to the manager. What a dink, probably scamming it for himself!

I now have my Christmas shopping finished. Anyone want a mug?
