So many things going on today. I went and took a bunch of things out of my closet so that I can find a few things for a new YouTube project. I’m going to be working with my friend Brian on a new channel called SteamDads. You can visit it through http://www.steamdads.com/. I had to go and get a lab coat, get the logo embroidered on it and more.

While I was out and about I found some Doctor Strange Pops including the Ancient One Pop that I didn’t pick up in California. The one I really should have because Tilda Swinton would have been so delighted to see it. You can read about that in my interview with her at Interviewing Tilda Swinton and Why I Should have Bought “The Ancient One” Pop!

I also found a Legendary Magic Creation Crystal at Toys R Us. I also did a lot with Skylanders Imaginators recently like loaded in all of my previous figures, magic items and traps.

I also found the last of the Hot Wheels Super Mario Character cars at Toys R Us. The last one I was looking for was Yoshi. I now have a complete set.

Speaking of character Cars I opened some Star Wars ones, too. A Jawa, a Storm Trooper and a Death Trooper.

And I wanted to tell you about the launch of the Kickstarter Campaign for 5-Minute Dungeon and it is fully funded. My review of the game is also on that Kickstarter.

Two weeks ago I attended the Doctor Strange Press Junket, or rather #DoctorStrangeEvent, I was one of 25 bloggers there for Walt Disney Studios (Disclosure: All-Expenses Paid). We were privileged to interview many of the cast members of the movie as well as director Scott Derrickson. Tilda Swinton portrays “The Ancient One” in the movie and we had a very insightful conversation with her about her role in Doctor Strange. Tilda is very much a presence and she captivated us with her stories. When she spoke we all leaned in to listen intently and were drawn in with what she had to say. Tilda entered the room to applause and twenty five delighted bloggers. The moment she sat down I kicked myself for a big mistake.

I did not buy the Funko Pop! of The Ancient One. I had it in my hands the day before at Hot Topic and picked up Doctor Strange, Kaecilius and Ashoka Tano instead. Tilda sat down and saw the toys in front of her she said, “Oh look… where’s the Ancient One?” She was very excited that there was one and disappointed that one was not there. I really felt like I let her down by not having one there for her to see. But to be fair, I did not put the Kaecilius one out because the thing is top heavy, not properly balanced and will not stand up. That’s okay because when Mads came in he knocked over the Doctor Strange Pop as any good villain would. But that is for another post. Today we are talking about Tilda Swinton and her interview, which follows below. Continue reading Interviewing Tilda Swinton and Why I Should have Bought “The Ancient One” Pop! #DoctorStrangeEvent →
