I bought the above Deadpools Assemble Minimates back in the Summer but haven’t opened them up as of yet. However, with the Deadpool movie coming out I wanted to open up the set so that I could display them, play with them and take a bunch of photos of them. The set is pretty great too, so many fun accessories. I love the accessory that looks like Thor’s hammer spinning around. That was a a nice touch.

Our surprise shipment from Disney Publishing of the Zootopia Books was great. The kids loved the books and I enjoyed reading them to the kids. I didn’t realize that the read-a-long would be the whole movie, sure there are some parts left out but I know the whole plot now. I don’t think that it would have been a major surprise otherwise but it does have some fun twists. I now think of it as a sort of Disney version of 48 Hours, the Nick Nolte/ Eddie Murphy movie in that Judy Hopps has 48 hours to solve a crime. That and she is teamed up with a less than trustworthy character in Nick Wilde. It should be a very funny movie overall. I can’t wait to take the kids to see it and also to get to play the Disney Infinity 3.0 figures of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. More in the vlog including what I thought of many Batman and Superman animated movies.

Amiibo Loot Crate


Photo-A-Day #3533

Loot Crate partnered up with Nintendo to offer a series of special edition Loot Crates. These crates would feature the Nintendo Amiibo characters. Amiibo is Nintendo’s Answer to games like Skylanders and Disney Infinity. Amiibo is a little different though. The figures act differently for different games. I picked up Super Smash Bros for Wii U and the figures can be used in that game. They retain the level of the character and other power up items. I also picked up Mario Kart 8 and with that game the Amiibo grants your Mii character a special suit. Allison and I played a four race tournament together and the game is very, very fun. I haven’t played Mario Kart in a few years and I had forgotten how fun it can be.
