Breaking News!

Today at noon, the Godzilla YouTube channel hosted a Godzilla Day 70th Anniversary Fest with several guests, and goodies to be sold in the near future.

As you will see, I snapped a whole bunch of photos from my TV screen.

Up first was this stuffed toy, a recreation of the Oxygen Destroyer. Kids will have hours of fun with this!

A new figure will be released with a fleshy and bony version available.

Uniqlo is collaborating with Toho to produce several new shirts, but online only. There's a mini movie at that link showing the products.

And they've also come out with a line of Chibi-Godzilla Ts and things.

I'll be heading to the supermarket shortly to see if I can find some of these products. 

 

I'm not sure but it seems that some of the products get some upscale packaging.

Not to be outdone, those little panda biscuits are hooking up with Godzilla and friends, though it seems it's only for the packaging, not the cookies themselves.

And more upscale packaging (I think you have to order online.)

I just found the site, Pandamonium! it's 1180 per box!

 But there are only 1000 of them, so it might be worth your while. If you can figure out how to order.

My bucket list item is to go here. Of course, my heart may give out on the zip-line and I'll kick the bucket, but it'd be worth it!

I need to go before March!

There is going to be an Art Exhibit at Parco Tokyo. Looks like a big deal.

Something else I need to check out is the crossover with Kaiju 8. I don't know much about it, though it appears to have a Kaiju in it. (Here's mine)

Even Chibi-Godzilla gets in on the act.

Finally there appears to be a special item for sale, one of the spikes from Godzilla's back.

And it's a bargain at only 90,000 yen!

If you'd like to watch this yourself, you can go to the Godzilla channel.

Go to the 23:30 mark for a little movie about the Art Show.  

If I see any of the food items, I'll let you know. NOT in my local supermarket yet...

I'm a Believer!

I just got back from watching Exorcist: Believer and it was nice follow-up to the original (I can't speak to the other sequels/prequels, I've never seen them.

I really liked the two possessed girls, their presence compels you. Everyone else was pretty good too although I must say, they didn't paint the indigent in a very positive light. I'm also surprised that the one who died was not who I expected it to be. (No Spoiler.)

If you're interested, here's an old post of mine that features the movie pamphlet of the original movie.

Here are a couple of Christmassy pics I scammed from the interwebs.

Who knows what mischief tomorrow will bring...

UPDATE: I was going through a boxful of LootCrate loot and came across this t-shirt.

Also, this is the pouch that contained an eye-mask.

And what an eye-mask!!

Chucky Amuck.

All Hallow's Eve is officially here and I'm sitting at home in my pjs blogging before bed. I was given the opportunity to wander the streets of downtown Sendai and poking fun at passersby yet I opted out. One reason is that I'm still too pooped from a marathon week of Halloween lessons with the screaming brats at school, a Work-related party yesterday, and a night on the town last night hoping to squeeze in some last minute horror in my October. 

I wrote about the work party yesterday, I'll show off some more pumpkin drawings later and here are a few highlights from last night's shindig. There were about two dozen people crammed into a tiny bar called Dimples, I also went there last year but 'twas on a Saturday night, not a Sunday so the crowd was livelier. The band was called Meg & Runaway Horses and they played mostly Bluegrass. Good tunes but not exactly spooky. I recall Rawhide, Tennessee Waltz and this song about Strangers.

Here are a few pics from the gig.

And a few pics taken from a camera other than mine...

One thing I've learned from this is that Spandex is NOT my friend and until I lose the gut, I'd better give up my career as a Spider-Man impersonator.

I showed off my Yam o' Lantern to the kids and teachers at school and they were impressed. 

It looks even creepier a day later. Here are the last of this year's Jack o' lanterns courtesy of my Grade Fivers. Try and guess which were drawn by damsels and which by dudes.

Only a single ghost!

Since it was Halloween, I splurged and ate a cat for breakfast. Too sweet and too dear, but cute.

To finish off the season, I dug through my recent Chucky collection. You can always hit the label "Chucky" to sift through earlier entries and you'll come across these sets. I've reproduced them to make it easier.

What IS new are these four dolls that I would have spent a fortune in UFO Catcher yet managed to wrangle used for about ten bucks.

I managed to win this big one in a few tries.

And these two pillow cases are courtesy of LootCrate. 

I still need to start on Season 2 of the Chucky TV series. Maybe on Thursday, I have a day off.

Thanks to Facebook Memories, I managed to dredge up a few more costumes of my past. None of them very good, though the Hulk is a personal favourite.

Just for fun, here is my transformation into Hulk from years gone by.

Gee, I haven't finished showcasing all my T-Shirts. I could save them for next year, but who knows what'll become of them.

Thanks to the fine folks at Countdown to Halloween 2022 for sponsoring this year's Octoberblogfest. 

Have a spooky night!!
