Occasionally I’ll drop over to Target and I walk the aisles to see what new toys are there. I also keep my eye out for that distinctive red and white price tag on clearance items. I usually find some pretty good deals. This MEGA Bloks World of Warcraft set caught my eye because of the wolf-like character. Add to that a Griffin as his mode of transportation and I was sold. Make the whole thing 50% off and even better.
I have mostly been interested in the MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants sets but occasionally I do want to pick up something from their other lines. I really like the look of the World of Warcraft stuff that MEGA Bloks puts out. The detail on the figures is great and they are very pose-able. Then when I look at the HALO inspired sets I really like what I’m seeing for the vehicles. They are detailed and look great. The set that looks best to me is the COVERT OPS: UNSC WOLVERINE. This is one tough looking machine, tons of missiles and more. I have only played HALO when it first came out and I loved riding all over the place in the warthog. I think the Wolverine would be even better.
Most of the time I just pick up these things if they look cool the SWIFT GRYPHON was one of those things that looked cool to me. If I played WoW that would be the type of figure that I’d want to be when I played.
I received a fun media alert about Mickey Mouse (see below). As a kid I watched the Disney Channel for the classic Mickey Mouse Cartoons and now as an adult I watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with the kids. I certainly miss the classic cartoons though. Now I can find a bunch of them plus all new digital shorts starring Mickey and his friends. I watched Croissant de Triomphe and it was very funny and done in a cool style. I like that each of the shorts are set in different places and have lots of visual humor.
Mickey got his start in 1928 with the cartoon short “Steamboat Willie” – and now he’s starring in an all new short-form series of 19 comedy cartoons, titled “Mickey Mouse” which are now live on both Disney.com’s new Mickey & Friends website and Disney’s new Mickey Video app, available for iOS devices on the App Store. The new site and app give fans direct access to the new shorts and additional Mickey Mouse extras on all of their favorite platforms and devices.
After premiering on Disney Channel, each “Mickey Mouse” short streams on the new Mickey & Friends website, which is the digital home of Mickey Mouse and a comprehensive gateway to all Mickey games, videos and content on Disney.com. Upon debut, the shorts will also be immediately available in the new Mickey Video app.
The first four episodes, including “Croissant de Triomphe” set in Paris and “No Service” set in Santa Monica are live now. And to watch upcoming episodes of “Mickey Mouse” shorts:
