Free Comic Book Day 2020

With Ravage

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00621

As with all things 2020, Free Comic Book Day was a little different this year. It wasn’t just the cosplayers wearing masks. This year everyone was wearing masks and keeping things distanced. Free Comic Book Day was also moved from May to September because of the pandemic and also because it made more sense for people to pick up all of the free books than just a few each week. The books were released each week but doing a big event is something much more fun. I like how Wild Time Comics did the day. They had things spread out so that you weren’t on top of everyone and the books were all outside so they were easy to pick up. There were some cosplayers there on hand for taking photos.

I was leaving and I noticed a statue of Ravage from The Transformers over by the building. I talked with the guy who built it and then took today’s photo with the prop. He did an amazing job on it. He even took it to a Transformers convention where there was a cosplayer dressed as Soundwave and she ended up spending a lot of time with this prop and taking photos with people.

I picked up 5 of the free comics. X-Men and a Spider-Man comics for me. Loud House, Invest-A-Gators and Usagi Yojimbo for the kids. Andy read the Loud House comic three times. He also read them in his underwear because that is how the main character of The Loud House likes to read his comics. I hope that we can all go back to the event together next year.

New MOTU and TMNT Additions to the World’s Smallest Line

Worlds Smallest Action Figures

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00620

Super Impulse sent me some of the newest editions to their World’s Smallest line of micro action figures for free to play with and review. Opinions are my own.

Back at Toy Fair in February I toured the Super Impulse booth and got to see that their World’s Smallest Line was getting bigger with the addition of more micro action figures from the Masters of the Universe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. These new World’s Smallest and World’s Coolest toys join the ranks of micro action figures from Transformers, Power Rangers and G.I.Joe! They are the coolest little toys and I was excited to see which ones were sent to me.

In the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line I received Leonardo and Donatello.

Worlds Smallest TMNT Donatello and Leonardo

In the Masters of the Universe line I received He-Man and Teela.

Worlds Smallest MOTU He-Man and Teela

Let’s start with Masters of the Universe. This franchise is looking to explode in the near future with a couple of reboots coming to Netflix. There is still a large following of fans from way back when I was a kid and these new micro figures are a fun nostalgic toy that fans will enjoy. I definitely want to pick up Battle Cat because the He-Man figure can ride on Battle Cat. The He-Man figure himself comes with his signature sword, a shield, a battle ax and a knife. I don’t think I ever saw him use those last two weapons but his sword was about it. He does look like a barbarian and so should also have a shield but I’m not sure how much he used one.

Worlds Smallest MOTU He-Man

The World’s Smallest Teela figure has her in her bodysuit and snake armor/headdress. While she was not really wearing that in the show her original figure came wearing that armor. Teela also comes with a staff and a shield.

On the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles side all four of the turtles will be available and I’ll make sure to get them. The interesting thing about the TMNT figure cases is that they are key chains where the others in this series are not. I received two of the turtles: Donatello and Leonardo.

Worlds Smallest TMNT Leonardo

While Leonardo is one of my least favorite turtles he does come with cool katanas.

Worlds Smallest TMNT Donatello

Donatello is my all time favorite turtle. He comes with his signature Bo staff and looks awesome. I love the tiny package that he comes in. The artwork on the packaging for all of the World’s Smallest line is fantastic. I’m going to ind the other two turtles and finish out my collection of these fun toys.
