Hey, Where’d He Go?

Hey gang, so, I went on vacation last week to head back to T-Town for my buddy Randy’s bachelor party and wedding. Congrats to him. Now, I failed to mention this to you guys before I took off and didn’t have computer access for the week, so sorry about that. But, while I was gone a few things went down on the interwebs. As of now, I don’t know how to make these clickable links, but you can check these things out while I get my next few posts together:

First up I was involved with WizardUniverse.com’s Thursday Morning Quarterback a few weeks back. We covered Angel, Justice League of America (my personal favorite book of the week) and more.

Also, my good buddy, former Wizard staffer, current ToyFare funny-bringer and renowned blogger Sean Collins dropped the folks at BoingBoing.com a link to my OMAC review which was pretty crazy. You can check out what they had to say about this here blog (though really, they just talk about how crazy OMAC is and, let’s be honest, it is). Hopefully some of you found your way here because of it, so welcome!

And finally, Poe Ghostal did a quick 5 questions with me regarding ToyFare and all things toys, so head on over to his site and check it and the rest of his rad site out.

ToyFare #132 OUT NOW!

Hey Schoolers, I’m a complete goober for not mentioning this last week, but ToyFare #132 is now available in stores. For fans of old school stuff, definitely check out the our Retro Robo Force feature that covers all aspects of those suction cupped robots. There’s also a look back at all of the previous Batman movies and their toys to go along with our rad DC Direct Deluxe Dark Knight Joker figure. Creepy right? We’ve also got the usual Incoming section bringing all of the coolest toys for the next few months, a Futurama feature with original art from some of people who work on the show, an interview with Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman from the Animated Series and Gotham Knight. Also, Bot Con! The conclusion of the Spidey-as-Nova TTT! A huge Hellboy Visual Price Guide! And, of course, all the word balloons you can handle.

My personal favorite balloon involves a pimp cane!

New Comment Section (kinda)
