Trolls World Hug Day

Today is World Hug Day and guess who likes to hug?

The Trolls

Yes, those happy singing Trolls do love to hug, well maybe not Branch, but most of the other ones do. A new Trolls adventure has just begun on Netflix with Trolls: The Beat Goes On! The new series just premiered on Friday with six episodes. It picks up where the movie left off. The kids and I began watching it and it is funny. There are many original songs and lots of jokes. More about the show below.

Playmates Toys sent me a partial selection of the new Voltron Classic Lions figures for free to check out and review. Opinions are my own.

I was asked if I’d like to receive a partial sample of the new Voltron Classic ’84 Legendary Lion Collection. I figure, a partial sample is better than no sample so I agreed. I have been watching the new Voltron: Legendary Defender and the Voltron ’84 shows on Netflix and I am enjoying them very much. I had heard that there would be some Classic style Voltron Lions being produced and I am really impressed.

Here is some official information on the Classic Legendary Lions figures.
