Status Update




It’s been 5 months since I last posted anything.  I guess it’s because I am helping out in the family business and just don’t have all the free time I used to have last year.  But my birthday is approaching and for some reason, I always try to post something on that day.  It’s almost done, am just waiting for a certain special episode to get subbed.  


To any Simpsons fans out there, do you regret buying this?  I for one do not (helps I spotted it about 2500 pesos cheaper at NBS compared to Fully Booked)  But it is a really neat thing to have when rewatching the old seasons.  Jam packed with all the Simpson info you could possibly need.  Though one thing bothers me, the last part of the book lists all the songs but Jazzman is not there.

Here is my current toy shelf.  Presently, there are 11 S.H. Figuarts.  Can’t wait for HLJ to have a sale again.  Their discounts are by far the best I’ve seen!  I never planned on buying Bouken Red but my cousin persuaded me by contributing a bit for it and it was on sale, so what the hey!  Still am not a fan his suit though.










Super Hero Otsu, we really need more of these things.  Always a pleasure to see those marvelous suits, especially Gao White!









 As I said before, Kyoryuger is easy to watch.  I like it.  I’ll probably do a series review of it next year.  As for the 2014 Tokkyuger, I am interested already.  Trains as a motif seems nice.  I am sure Toei learned from Go-Busters and am confident it won’t turn out that way again.  I hope the color scheme to be different, not the same old red, blue, green, yellow and pink.  There’s enough of that.


That's all for now. Check back on October 5!

Simpsons Comics

Simpsons Comics on Parade (#24-27)

Simpsons Comic # 24 (4/5)
Campaign USA comes to Springfield.  You can learn a thing or two about politics from this issue.  The short stories, absent last time, return.  One featuring Little Homer and the other featuring a discussion in Moe’s Bar.
Simpsons Comic # 25 (3/5)
A decent story involving Marge and Mayor Quimby.  The short story features Eddie and Lou eating at a diner plus Itchy and Scratchy play baseball.
Simpsons Comic # 26 (3/5)
I think this is a parody of a movie wherein the driver of a vehicle must not go below a certain speed limit of a bomb might explode.  Sideshow Bob is the villain.  I was never really drawn to it.  The short story focuses on the Sea Captain’s story on how he got his fictional peg leg.
Simpsons Comic # 27 (4/5)
Homer undergoes an experiment to pay for a new saxophone after he breaks it and becomes a genius.  A nice father and daughter tale.
Final Thoughts (3/5)
Not too great, my favorite is issue #24

Simpsons Comics Strike Back (#15-18)

Simpsons Comic # 15 (3/5)
This is obviously homage to a very popular Christmas story but I can’t appreciate it since I’m not familiar with it.  A good yarn nonetheless.  The short story is Itchy and Scrathy with Betty Boop.

Simpsons Comic # 16 (4/5)
A surprisingly nice Patty and Selma story in which they get laid off at the DMV and became airline stewardesses.  Apu stars in an amazing 96 hour Kwik-E Mart shift.

Simpsons Comic # 17 (5/5)
Bart and Lisa rent a channel and starts broadcasting Simp-TV which takes Springfield by storm.  Two short stories follow, one featuring a day in the life of Bumblebee Man and the second features Otto, Marge, Moe, Krusty and Homer.  Well just read it, it’s nice.

Simpsons Comic # 18 (5/5)
Homer needs to lose 13 pounds for Springfield to have a free water park.  Then, Milhouse learns stealing is wrong, even if the item is a counterfeit baseball card.

Final Thoughts (4/5)
Nothing too spectacular about the stories but also nothing bad as well. 

Simpsons Comic


Simpsons Comics Simpsorama (#11-14)

Simpsons Comic # 11 (5/5)
An evil Ned Flanders clone terrorizes Springfield and only Bart, Lisa and Rainier Wolfcastle can solve the mystery.  Plus a good old western shoot out Simpsons style.
