Anybody following the show for some time knows I struggle with motivation. Not for the things I actually want to do, like collecting toys, being a Special Olympics coach, even being president of my PTA. However, when it comes to selling toys, even as they stack up in...

Well, the first, and hopefully the last, Pulsecon has come to a conclusion. And similar to their previous efforts, the panels were pretty good, but the pre-orders sucked. Especially the Target ones, once again. I was on shit this time and got almost everything I...

Mrs. McFavorite and I spent our Labor Day weekend laboring. We were able to fill a 30 cubic yard dumpster. For those not great at math, that’s 22′ long, 8′ wide, and 6′ high. We could probably fill another too. During that debacle, it was...

So I took a chance on this show. It was something I’ve done a hundred times before in the independently released audio-only version. I played a trailer for a show during Grab Bag. I guess the sound was so bad the crew had to narrate what was going on. Well only...

This week we welcome AliasAngelAlias to walk us through perhaps the coolest virtual con yet, Tamashii Nation’s 2020 Virtual Reality Exhibition. This just absolutely blew my mind. You really owe it to yourself to check it out. Even if import toys aren’t...

I think it’s absolutely astonishing that on this 4th we are the most divided we have ever been with maybe the exception of the Civil War era. I purposely steer way clear of politics outside of the ridiculous amount I get from the news. While Mrs. McFavorite has...
