Oh hey, it’s #LetterboxdFriday and my #LastFourWatched makes for an interesting bunch.
I hadn’t seen “Happy-Go-Lucky” since it came out about 17 years ago, but it’s better than I remembered and easily my favorite of the bunch. I recommend it to literally anyone, it’s a great li’l movie.

Still haven't settled on a poolside read for Palm Springs. Maybe "Tom's Crossing," the new book by the author of "House of Leaves"?
I read "House of Leaves" earlier this year and genuinely think it is the best book I've ever read.

It’s #LetterboxdFriday and my #LastFourWatched stretches back to August.
I had mixed-negative feelings about “Eddington.” I never rate movies - the scale’s too subjective to be consistent - but very much liked the others for differing reasons.

Following up on all this: Jada’s revealed Wave 3 at New York Comic Con and it’s Capt. Cutler and Charlie the Funland Robot.

Sorta look like the Great Value version of the Legion of Doom, but that’s Todd McFarlane’s handiwork for you.
The millisecond better alternatives materialize, these will be melted down into a hardened plastic wad to be hurled at neighborhood kids. Save the DC Direct Scarecrow in the back.

This may or may not prove to be the last wave, leaving the most tooling-intensive (expensive) characters undone and both teams incomplete. It seems almost unavoidable, honestly.
Still. This go around, Brainiac and Bizarro fill out the Legion of Doom ranks.

As a result, they’re off-model but it’s frankly the most available today; the last figures modeled on the original animation were released in the early ‘00s by DC Direct.

Last week, McFarlane Toys continued their death rattle with some new reveals - including the “leaked” third wave of Superfriends figures.
My current Hanna-Barbera fixation has kept me interested in these, particularly the Alex Toth-designed Legion of Doom members.

It’s a nonsensical anti-Catholic supernatural thriller with splashes of “The Exorcist” and a helluva soundtrack - including synth instrumentals by Billy Corgan. A glorious product of its time, directed by the auteur behind MC Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This” music video.

I look forward to seeing what happens. Who knows, maybe we'll get really lucky and after breathtakingly brisk sales, Jada launches a sub-line based on "The New Scooby Doo Movies" just so we can get guest stars galore!

My preference is for older monsters, clearly, but there are some I didn't include though likelier than my choices. These include the Ghost Clown, the Zombie, the Snow Ghost, and the Tar Monster.
To me, Ghost Clown seems likeliest to show up, but I just don't find it an appealing design.

Two classic monsters I did not include were both from season one: Charlie the Funland Robot and the Green Ghost. Charlie's distinct but not a personal favorite whereas the Green Ghost would be a demanding feat of toy engineering, I fear.

After wave 5, the pattern breaks down. We've exhausted the gang; options thereafter could include less well-known characters (like Scooby Dum) or, of course, variants of Scooby and/or the other gang members. I'd argue Vincent Van Ghoul from "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo" would be a fine candidate.

Wave 5:
G: Velma with Scrappy Doo
C: Ghost of Redbeard ("Go Away Ghost Ship")
UM: Frankenstein's Monster ("A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts")
Many classic ghosts look too familiar to Frankenstein's Monster, hence Redbeard - distinct but maybe not sufficiently dynamic enough.

Wave 4:
G: Fred
C: The Black Knight ("What a Night for a Knight")
UM: Wolfman ("A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts")
Again, you've got two visually distinct monsters; the Knight is more upright while the Wolfman is hunched over and, of course, predominately green. Oh, uh, and Fred's there, too.

So, for wave 3:
G: Daphne
C: The Ghost of Capt. Cutler ("A Clue for Scooby Doo")
UM: Dracula ("A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts")
Glow-in-the-dark deco elements on Cutler would be neat. He goes well with Dracula given the two literally share no colors.

So, wave 1 was Shaggy, the Creeper, and the Mummy of Ankha; wave 2 is Scooby, the Spooky Space Kooky, and the Sea Demon; all we know of wave 3 is that it will include Daphne.
Pattern thus far is 1 member of the gang (G), 1 "iconic" monster (C), and one Universal Monster analog (UM).

These are just phenomenal. There’s nothing about them I don’t like … closest to a gripe is I’ll never ever ever display them with their unmasked heads.

Ran across this at a store - on clearance no less! - and it’s the first physical media I’ve bought in, like, probably 10-12 years. Only S1 is available to buy on Amazon - and it’s same price for which I bought this set.
Granted, I had to buy a DVD player, but still.
