MOTUC Scareglow Commentary
|

  It's time for another one! MOTUC Director's Commentary #15: Scareglow - Ghost with the most is, as always, worth the read. (It's also a good figure.) Do check it out.
Also, The Mighty Spectre has sold out! Until all the people complaining about it sell theirs on eBay, which, while looking at the reviews, I'm guessing they won't.

My Little Pony Getting Old Lady Pony with Walker, Tennis Balls
|
|
  Thanks to my pal Daniel, find My Little Pony Miniature Collection pictures on Facebook. These are actual Hasbro products, and as I'm ignorant as to who is who I will say it's delightful and bizarre to see an old lady pony with a walker, a seemingly male pony, and what appears to be a griffin. I see why the pony folks are so excited.

Ghostbusters Hiatus at Mattel
|
|
  From Facebook: a post from Ghosbusters Fans about the future of the Mattel line. It says: "ToyGuru announced today that the Ghostbusters toy line will be coming to an end after the 4th (to be announced) figure that will be available later this year. "We don't have enough customers for the 6" GB line right now." The line may come back in a year if Ghostbusters 3 is officially announced but for now the GB line is on hold."
The comments below it are the usual amusing post of the astute (fans are sick of re-buying the same character) with the oblivious (they aren't sold at retail because, we're told, retailers don't want to support this kind of line in a big enough way).
