Happy birthday to 'Murica!

America! Fuck yea!

I had wanted a Star Eagle ever since Hasbro put up the listing, but I thought the paint deco was rather lazy in regards to being really America-themed. I was hoping to grab it on sale, but it never did. Then, I figured I'd just grab a Kingdom Airrazor and make my own custom, and noticed Kingdom Skywarp had an eagle hat on his robot head, which was even better. So, grabbed that for $15 off eBay and custom'd it to be as American as I could make it. The stars were obviously done freehand, as best I could.

Happy birthday to the greatest country on the planet!

My Adventures with Green Lantern summary revealed.

Entertainment Weekly has the first promo pic and info for My Adventures with Green Lantern, which will likely air on Toonami.

The show will star Jessica Cruz (played by Auliʻi Cravalho, the titular Moana), a young high school girl who is chosen by a Power Ring after the Ring War wipes out most of the Green Lantern Corps. Jessica is a shy girl full of anxiety and is extremely unsure about being a hero, but will have to deal with remaining debris from the war and remaining alien foes arrive to cause trouble, as Jessica will lead a new Lantern Corps.

Jessica will have a cameo in this week's episode of MAWS, though it's unknown if Simon Baz, her best friend from the comics, will also appear.

While MAWS was heavily inspired by DBZ, the producers said MAWGL will be inspired by a different Toonami show. They didn't name names, but given Jessica's a high-schooler, I'm guessing MHA.

McFarlane Supergirl body swap

I already kind of kitbashed this by swapping the World of Tomorrow Supergirl's skirt with the Gold Label's skirt, but I decided to go farther.

I originally bought First Appearance Supergirl for kit bashing with a Mary Marvel and a Sonya Blade custom, but I realized the Gold Label skirt worked better than the one that came with FA. Then I noticed that the colors on FA Supergirl were much brighter and saturated, so I decided to kitbash. I took the legs and head from World of Tomorrow Supergirl and put them on First Appearance Supergirl's torso and arms, then painting the skirt red.

I probably should have painted the boots too to get rid of the two tones, but eh, didn't feel like it.

Super Hasbro Bros.

Proposed roster for a Hasbro version of Smash Bros. I tried to limit each franchise to a maximum of 6.

Transformers: Wanted to have 3 Autobots and 3 Decepticons, so I picked the obvious ones. I used the evergreen designs for the roster, but I wouldn't be surprised if an actual game would use the G1 designs. Their transformations would come into play with their specials. Also, Grimlock would summon the other Dinobots to form Volcanicus for his FS, Starscream's alts would be the other Seekers, and Soundwave can summon a random cassette to assist him for a bit.

Power Rangers: I know the obvious choice is to use MMPR for all of them, but I wanted slightly more variety, so I added one Ranger from each of the major eras, while also not repeating colors. For alts, they would switch colors to their teammates, except for Green, who would reference other Sixth Rangers, while Zedd would reference other Big Bads. Each Ranger FS would summon a Megazord (or the Dragonzord for Green) with Zedd becoming his Master form.

G.I. Joe: Similar to Transformers, 3 for each side, and went for the obvious ones. Gameplay would involve both fisticuffs and ranged weaponry, kind of like Snake. Snake Eyes would be the exception, who would play somewhat like a mixture of Sheik and Marth.

My Little Pony: The obvious way would be to have all six be from Friendship is Magic, but I decided to include other characters for variety. Lickety represents G1, Pinkie reps G2, and Sunny G5. I fully admit I don't watch MLP, so can't get into specifics for specials, but they would all be strong but horizontally fast, but less agile and easy to knockback.

Dungeons & Dragons: Don't really play D&D, so I don't know how many actual characters there are, so I picked three of the more popular classes that are more non-human humanoids for variety.

Magic The Gathering: Guess what I also don't play? I wanted Magic rep, so I looked up what some of the most popular characters were and used them. I'm sure people who are more into MtG can offer better picks.

Action Figures: Action Man, Stretch Armstrong, and Hunter from M.A.S.K. represent Hasbro's lower tier action figure lines.

Girls Toys: Jem, Cooler (from Pound Puppies), and Blythe (from Littlest Pet Shop 2012) represent Hasbro's girl-targeted franchises. Jem would fight with music, while Blythe would use her puppies a la Olimar and Pikmin.

Board Games: Mr. Moneybags, Colonel Mustard (from Clue), and Princess Frostine (from Candyland) represent Hasbro's board game lines. Mustard would play similar to Velma from Multiversus.

Random: Furby, Murph (former NERF mascot), and Mr. Potato Head are the random WTF picks. Potato Head would have a different accessory setup from the Toy Story version so as to not confuse people.

Spaaaaaaaace Ghost!!

I had been itching to make a custom Space Ghost for a while since the old figure from back in the day is rather expensive and Coast to Coast is one of my favorite cartoons ever.

I thought about maybe buying the clear figures and painting that, but even those were $50 on eBay.

Figure itself is the Epic H.A.C.K.S. superhero figure. Belt is from Marvel Vulcan. I originally wanted to do a cloth cape, but that didn't work out too well. The current cape is from a DC Multiverse Batman figure. Not completely satisfied with it, but didn't really have anything better. Armbands and symbol were red electrical tape.

TOM from Toonami

Loved Toonami for decades, but it has very little merch for it. Don't like Funkos and there was a figure giveaway a long time ago that goes for a ton online. Eventually decided to make my own. Was difficult to find a decent host body, so I eventually settled on the HK-85 Assassin Droid from the Star Wars Black Series. The head is the helmet from G.I. Joe Classified Sci-Fi.

Would have preferred to do TOM2 or 3, but TOM5 is cool, too.

Smash 6 Roster Concept

My take on a potential Switch 2 Smash game roster.

Because Smash Ultimate is still playable on the Switch 1, I culled a lot of the bloat and went for new and/or fan faves. If there are two characters separated by a line, the other is an Echo Fighter.

I forgot to put her in the image, but Rosalina would also return.

Just to get it out of the way, Peach/Daisy, Rosalina Bowser, Bowser Jr., Wario, K. Rool, Zero Suit Samus, Ridley, Dedede, Meta Knight, Falco, Wolf, Marth/Lucina, Ike, Byleth, Lucario, Pokémon Trainer, Greninja, Incineroar, Captain Falcon, Pit, Dark Pit, Palutena, Olimar, Little Mac, Villager/Isabelle, Shulk, Pyra/Mythra, Inkling, Mr. Game & Watch, ROB, Mii Fighters, Bayonetta, Mega Man, Ryu/Ken, and Pac-Man would all play largely the same as in Ultimate, barring any general engine changes.

For the cuts, it was mostly cutting fat. Dr. Mario and Piranha Plant were superfluous entries, Sheik would be replaced by Young Impa or Paya. I would normally have cut Young Link and kept Toon Link, but with the Ocarina remake happening and no Wind Waker sequel happening, I kept YL for promo purposes. I think Sakurai will take the "Too much FE" criticism to heart and cut the fat. Roy and Chrom will be cut to decrease the Marth clones, while Corrin and Robin will be cut to be replaced by Alear and Cai, as they are from the two most recent FE games. Pichu, Jigglypuff, and Mewtwo will be cut to trim Pokémon a bit, as the first two are outdated and Mewtwo, despite general popularity, isn't well regarded as a fighter. Ness and Lucas are both cut because of how irrelevant the Mother series is nowadays. Same for Ice Climbers and Duck Hunt. Most of the 3rd party pics will be cut to be replaced by more currently relevant characters or avoid high license fees.

As for other returning fighters, most of them are still marketability relevant nowadays, hence why they're kept. Mr. Game & Watch and ROB represent both retro and were in the Galaxy Movie. Little Mac is mainly here for newcomers and to be an easy gameplay option. The Kid Icarus characters stay because of Sakurai and Palutena's Guidance. Bayonetta remains for sex appeal. Ryu/Ken remain because Chun-Li rarely guests by herself. Pac-Man stays because Namco will help develop again. Mega Man stays due to the collections and Dual Override. Sonic remains because he still gets new games.

I would take the original 8 and rework them a bit.

Mario - Model reworked to be closer to Wonder/Kart World. Up Special would be FLUDD, which would have two options. Above a "base line" it will be the Hover Nozzle, below would be Rocket Nozzle. Neutral will still be Fireball, but will alternate with an Iceball, which works similar to Freezies. Side Special is Cappy, who latches onto a fighter and pulls Mario in for a punch. Down Special transforms into Elephant Mario and body slams. Final Smash is the Wonder Flower, which has random effects based on that game.

Donkey Kong - Design updated to his modern one, though with more traditional fur than the leaf-life fur from Bananza. His alts will have the ties from Bananza, though. Neutral Special would be the same. Up Special would be a Rocket Barrel from the Retro titles, with the ability to charge it up for a second for more distance and aiming. Down Special would be DK picking up a chunk of rock or terrain to throw at opponents, while Hand Slap would be moved to Down + A. Side Special would be Rambi Charge, working similar to Wario's Bike. Final Smash would be the same, but he'd transform into Kong Bananza first.

Link - Fully revamp Link to be based on the Wild Era. Design would be his look from Tears. Up Special would be Revali's Gale/Paraglider. Neutral would still be Bow/Arrow, but will randomly cycle through the various types of arrows (sans Ancient) from the source games. Side Special would be Ultrahand, where he uses the ability to grab an opponent and pull them towards him. Down Special would still be remote bombs. Final Smash would be letting the opponent get blasted by a Guardian.

Samus - Design based on Prime 4, but Vi-O-La and Dread suits would be selectable. Up Special would still be Screw Attack. Neutral would still be Charge Shot, but firing before it's fully charged produces a Spazer/Wide shot instead. Side would still be Missles, but instead of regular and Homing, it's cycles through the elemental missiles from Prime 4, with the stronger version being the triple variant. Down Special would be the Cross Bomb from Dread, albeit not as wide as that game. Final Smash would essentially be the same, but she'd turned into her green suit from Dread.

Yoshi - Model based on his newer update and Mysterious Book. Up and Neutral Specials are the same. Side Special is his tail swipe, where he leaps into the air and swings his tail. Down Special has him pull a watermelon from Yoshi's Island and fire either bullets or fire/ice streams. Ground Pound was changed to Down + A in the air. Final Smash is Yoshi swallowing the opponent, turning them into an egg and throwing them at Giant Baby Bowser.

Kirby - Largely the same, visually, maybe some minor changes to account for Air Riders. Neutral Special remains the same. Up Special is Hi Jump, Side Special has him pull out the Warp Star from Air Riders and fire forward at high speed. Down Special has him Ground Pound using the Cone Mouth ability. Final Smash would be running over the opponent with Big Rig Mouthful Mode.

Fox - Design based on the new remake, though with redid proportions to fit onto his old skeleton. Neutral Special and Final Smash would be the same. Down Special would have him pull out the bazooka from 64's multiplayer mode. Up Special works mostly the same, but instead visually has Fox wearing an Arwing-shaped jetpack. Side Special would him delivering a speedy Kamen Rider-esque flying kick.

Pikachu - Visually mostly the same. Neutral and Down Specials the same. Side Special would be Volt Tackle, looking similar to the anime. Up Special would be Floaty Fall from Let's Go. Pikachu would fly up with the balloons, then home in on the nearest fighter and attack downward with a second press. Final Smash would be Gigantamax Pikachu using Body Slam.

For the rest of the returning fighters with changes:

Luigi: Like Mario, visually based on Wonder/Kart World. Up Special is Parachute Cap from Wonder. Neutral is his usual, but like with Mario, Ice Balls are mixed in. Side Special is similar to Green Missile, but instead he uses the Drill powerup to become Drill Luigi. Down Special is the high jump from Mario 2, but can be charged. After jumping, Luigi's feet can hurt opponents below him like Yoshi's Down+A in the air.

Diddy - Model change to his modern design. Side Special would have him pull out a barrel and rush towards the opponent. Other three specials would remain the same. Final Smash would be Diddy riding the skull coaster, sending the opponent right into Kackle's clutches.

Zelda - Revamped to be based off of Wild Era. Up Special will be Galeforce Kick, which shoots Zelda up in the air and then downward with a kick. Neutral Special will be to charge up a ball of light and fire it. Side Special will be Stasis, which lets her stun an opponent for more damage and combos. Down Special is Cryonis, creating a tall ice pillar which can then be slid towards an opponent. Final Smash is Light Arrows.

Ganondorf - Completely revamped. Still a heavy hitter, but just behind DK in speed. Uses his Gloom weapons, which can be switched via Down Special. Alternates between Sword, Club, and Spear. Has a mechanic where he can go into his Demon King form after the meter fills. Up Special he sprouts flaming wings to shoot himself in the air. Neutral Special would use Gloom Rings to stun the opponent for further combos. Side Special would have him prepare to lunge (and sheath his sword if using it) then rush forward and launch a powerful quick strike. Final Smash would transform into his Demon Dragon form and attack.

Young Link - Visually based on his remake design. Alts have his swords/shields from Majora. Neutral Special would be Slingshot instead of bow, but the Deku Seeds explode.

Dark Samus - Same moveset as Samus, but all of them have electricity effects.

Falco/Wolf - Moveset the same, but visually based on the remake.

Inkling - All costumes would be based on Splatoon 2 and 3. Neutral and Down Specials would be the same. Up Special would be Inkjet, while Side Special would be Reefslider. Final Smash would be sending the opponents to be eaten by Maws from Salmon Run.

Sonic - Model will be touched up to better resemble Frontiers. Up Special would be the same. Down Special would be a more classic Spin Dash. Neutral Special would Sonic Boom from Frontiers. Side Special would be Wild Rush.

Mega Man - Mechanically the same, but visually updated to his modern 11/Dual Override design.

For new characters:

Pauline - Largely based on music and Mini-marios. Neutral Special has her sing, which can send out shockwaves around her to knock opponents back. Up Special has a Mini-Mario with a propeller appear and fly her back up. Side Special has her launch a sonic attack from her microphone. Down Special has her pull out a Mini-Toy at random, which has different attacks based on who pops out. Final Smash would have 8-Bit Donkey Kong appear and smash opponents.

Waluigi - Heavily based on Party, Kart, and the sports games. Up Special would have him pop out a hangglider from Kart/Party. Neutral Special would cycle between the cursed racket from Tennis Aces, a golf club, a baseball bat, and a hockey stick. Side Special would launch a powerful projectile based on the selected weapon. Down Special would be to lay traps from Mario Party, which would explode or stun enemies depending. Final Smash would be using the Chomp Call to call a Chain Chomp on opponents.

Funky Kong - Echo Fighter of DK, using a plane barrel instead of a rocket barrel. Side special will be the hovercraft barrel from DKC3. Down Special would throw a grenade, taken from Snake. Final Smash would be Funky surfing and drowning opponents in a giant wave.

Dixie Kong - Will be not as fast as Diddy, but more agile. Up Special will be her hair spin, modified from DK's Spinning Kong. Neutral Special would be blowing a bubble until it explodes and damages opponents. Side Special would summon Kiddy Kong and using him to roll like a keg in the DKC games. Down Special would summon a Banana Bird to bother opponents. Final Smash would have her pull out her guitar and launch shockwaves at opponents.

Impa/Paya - Mostly lifting their moveset from Sheik, the main change being Down Special to create to clones to mimic movements.

Sylux - Up Special is a simple teleport, similar to old Zelda. Neutral special is like Samus, but can't charge, though the shots are slightly stronger and can be spammed. Side Special is his Shock Coil, where he fires a stream of electricity at the opponent. Down Special is his Lockjaw form, where he fires electric bombs that can stun. Final Smash has him summon his Neo Arms to overwhelm the opponent.

Final Smash has him channel every Emblem Ring into one mighty slash, a la Hero.

Cai - Game hasn't dropped, so no clue what his moveset will be.

Meowscarada - Plays as a tricky fighter. Neutral Special is Energy Ball, which can be charged. Side Special is Seed Bomb, which launches explosive seeds that can bounce. Up Special is Trailblaze, which works similar to other leaping specials. Down Special is Flower Trick, which can't be blocked with the shield or counter moves. Final Smash has her Terastilize and use Frenzy Plant.

Gen 10 Rep - Obviously can't make a moveset yet.

Black Shadow - Inherits Ganondorf's old moveset. Final Smash is similar to Falcon's but with his car instead.

Mio - Fights using an agile, speedy, bladed melee style. Neutral Special has her throw her Dual Moonblades, which come back to her like boomerangs.

Jeanne - Pure Echo Fighter of Bayo, like Peach/Daisy.

Shadow - Clone of Sonic, with different Specials. Up Special is his Doom Wings. Neutral Special is Chaos Spear, which can be charged to Chaos Lance. Side Special is Doom Surf, where he rides on a wave of black goop. Down Special is Chaos Control, which is a counter move with a generous window like Shulk or Bayonetta.

Chun-Li - Similar to Ryu/Ken, basically transfer over her SF2 moveset. Up is Spinning Bird Kick. Neutral is Kikoken. Side Special is Falling Crane. Down is Parry Rush. Final Smash, like her buddies, depends on whether she's close or far. Close is Hoyoku-sen, far away is Kikosho.

Chris/Leon/Jill/Claire - Chris/Leon would be alts, like Olimar/Alph. Claire/Jill would be clones that are shorter and quicker, but slightly weaker. Guys' Up special is an uppercut, while girls' is a cartwheel kick, both from Project X Zone. Neutral is handgun for both. Unlike Joker, this one has limited ammo and will need to wait to reload before using again. Kirby will automatically discard when out of ammo. Side Special for guys is Flamethrower while for the girls it's Charging STARS. Down Special has the guys pull out a rocket launcher and the girls a grenade launcher. When out of ammo, an ammo box will appear on the stage and you need to grab it to use the move again. Final Smash has the opponent attacked by a different monster.

Master Chief - Old school Ganondorf with a gun. Up Special is Thruster Pack. Neutral is his MA5 rifle. Side Special is Type-25 rifle. Down Special is Gravity Hammer. Final Smash is blowing opponents away with a Warthog.

Trevor/Sonia - Mostly recycles the moveset from Simon/Richter, with new moves based on the new Castlevania game.

Up Special is Monarch Wings/Faedown Cloak. Neutral Special is Vengeful Spirit. Side Special is Silkspear. Down Special is Crystal Heart/Sharpdart. Knight's Final Smash is using the Shade Cloak to trap opponents and attack with a barrage of attacks, similar to Meta Knight. Hornet calls the Bell Eater to attack opponents.

A much better figure than I expected it to be.

I bought this Action Comics Supergirl for custom fodder purposes, but I'm honestly realy impressed by how good the figure is. If I didn't already have the Page Punchers Woman of Tomorrow figure as my main Supergirl, I'd probably keep this as my main Supergirl (painting the skirt red, of course). Yea, the painted boots feels a bit cheap, but it works out for me since, as I said, I'll be using this for a custom.

Stouffers Pepperoni Pizza Mac & Cheese

Saw this in store and decided to give it a shot. Looked neat.

Normally I add my own extra mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning, but I decided since it was my first time trying this, I'd try it regular.

It's fine. It does taste like a crust-less pepperoni pizza, more or less, though the cheese is barely noticeable. Will definitely add my own if I ever get this again. The pepperonis are, I'm pretty sure, the same kind used in frozen pizzas, though they seem bigger than what I remember those ones having.

Custom figure of Static (McFarlane)

Switched out the torso and diaper with the Jim Gordon Batman, then freehanded the symbol in the middle. Wish I had sculpting skills to make a head closer to the cartoon, but I'll make do with just painting the goggles.

Custom Black Canary and Zatanna

Made these last year long before McFarlane announced their proper figures.

Canary's head, forearms, and legs are from Gold Label Supergirl. Her body is from Fire. Jacket and upper arms are from The Drowned.

Zatanna's body is from The Drowned, arms are from Arcane Percy, legs are from Fire, head is from Unmasked Batwoman Beyond, and hat is from Retro Penguin.

I did pick up the "proper" releases, but I'm not sure if I wanna keep them as-is or kitbash them with my customs. I kinda prefer Zatanna with grey leggings over the reddish purple ones the proper one has. Black Canary I might replace the head and legs of the proper one with the custom one here. Haven't decided on either yet.

USPS couldn't deliver package due to animal interference. I don't own any animal. Haven't for almost 20 years, and that was a bird.

I normally don't have issues with USPS, but they've been crazy lately. Had a package a few weeks ago that UPS handed off to them that they then withheld due to "lack of shipment payment," whatever that meant. That company eventually just sent me a replacement product via only UPS.

I don't own any dog, or cat, or anything similar. One of my neighbors a few doors down has a dog, but I was outside, like, an hour before this attempted delivery and someone else was delivering a package to the house with the dog. It's not even like I have a big yard or a lot of stairs to climb. There ARE stray cats around, one of which likes sunbathing on my porch, but they run away when someone gets close.

Moreover, that package I mentioned had been withheld? UPS brought the replacement earlier today, and Amazon delivered a package to me yesterday.

Custom made Power Rangers RPM figures based on the Lightning Collection.

Base figures for Red and Black were In Space figures, but Blue and Green were Lightspeed Blue.

Helmets, belts, arm cuffs, and boot cuffs were from Ranger Forge. Unfortunately, they were a bit too small, so I had to snip them and super glue them to get them to stay attached.

At the time, they didn't have decals for the number chest symbols, so I had to free hand them. Red's is awful, but the other three are OK. Will still grab the decals at some point whenever RF gets around to making kits for Gold/Silver.
