I own precisely one funko pop, and I kinda like him.
(There is a limit on quite how MANY of the things I would want, though.)

While the nostalgia factor is mostly lost on me - I stopped paying attention before Zeo was new - I've been rather enjoying the currently ongoing Power Rangers Prime comics.
(This is mostly the RPG's fault, for being the same system as Transformers and doing crossover in the GM guide.)

Been bashing away at an un-Centos-ed Captain.
(Also found that my antique Blood Red had finally bled it's last - which was disappointing, but Army Painter's Fiery Vermilion is proving its worth.)

So I just put 'McDonalds 1974' into Google Images, and one of the interesting things that popped up was from the Facebook page "The Bygone Years" of the first location opening in the UK - their commentary in the description.
There's interesting information just THERE, if you're inclined to look.

If it was, as he claimed, something that he and friends got in Croatia, then it may be a direct reference to the "13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian)".
The unit was directly involved in attacks on Jewish and Serb civilians.

I am losing track of how long the grav-plates of this damn repulsor are taking to clean up and assemble, other than "too long".
The rest of it was fine - it's sitting in sub-assemblies ready for undercoating tomorrow - but these damnable things are taking FOREVER.

I chucked most of the boxes ages ago in the interest of space, but I did hold on to my Big Folder Of Discs
It seems I didn't have a significant amount of comedies, so I appear to have filed the 1996 Sgt. Bilko in the same category as The Longest Day.

Once again thinking of Mystery Men, the glorious not-quite-cyberpunk monstrosity of a city it was set in, and how not enough superhero fiction goes all in on actually considering the weird alternate timelines that they inevitably live in.

Recent Interneting has reminded me of how much I always wanted a mini of the much-beloved character "Veteran Sergeant 2 with Customised Bolt Pistol".
Every so often I'm tempted to hunt one down on eBay, but it would just add one more mini to the Pile of Shame.
