The Monster High Craze
I saw a few things today while searching for a picture of a newly released doll that another collector is desperately seeking. It is called Cupid and reminded me of a miniature Red Queen with a big head and heart shaped lips. She is pretty cute!
These are the Twins, Meowlody and Purrsephone:
I love Cleo's Vanity shown below in an unattributed photo I found on fanpop.com
And it seems that Cleo has a sister, Nefera De Nile:
It's cool that they're making furniture and vehicles. Here is Draculaura's car:
This wave called Sweet 1600 is really cute.

Hot Toys' Black Suit Spider-Man is anything but emo
Honestly, I wanted to snag this tip and rip right into the idea of converting Spider-Man 3's black-suited Spider-Man into a Hot Toys action figure, but dang it, maybe it's because of Christmas and maybe it's because of Hot Toys having unusual quality, but Tobey Maguire has never looked so good. My wallet will shrink three sizes this day.
Ol' webhead is a fine specimen, standing at a proper 12", making it a Sixth Scale Figure (that's what Sideshow says anyway). The detail is staggering, as is expected of Hot Toys, including multiple sets of hands for different poses, an excellent alternate head without the mask, a somewhat dopey base stand of Sandman, plus five web threads allowing for that authentic Spidey style. I particularly like that you can hang him upside-down from a strand in his iconic "Hey, witty quip dudes" position. I...don't know what you'll hang him from, but that's not my problem.
What is my problem is the price, and as we can expect with Hot Toys and Sideshow having a hand in this, the price is understandably out of my limit. How does US$209.99 sound? Reasonable, actually, and that includes both the standard and Sideshow Exclusive versions. The only difference between the two is that the Sandman base has an alternate "meteor hammer" hand, which makes things look even sillier, so you're fine with either. I'm just astonished at how great the fabric of the costume looks, plus the Tobey Maguire head. If I had the money, I'd snap this 2nd quarter 2012 release right away, but we all know me and my miserliness. How about you guys? Good stuff or a total bomb?
Also, I liked Spider-Man 3. Does that make me weird?

My best wishes to everyone! Happy Holidays!

BATMAN AND THE HISTORY OF THE BAT-SUIT
Twas The Night Before Christmas – Jim Meskimen Celeb Impersonations
Why Xmas = KFC in Japan
Folks may be wondering why the Japanese eat Chicken during Christmas from seeing it in anime, Jdrama or actually visiting here. This photo taken yesterday on Xmas eve in Shinbashi. Throughout all of Japan, folks can be seen queuing up outside KFC for some chicken. But why not the traditional Turkey and why KFC?
The Turkey does not breed naturally in Japan and is rarely cultivated. Apparently the taste is not of such a popularity to warrant large amounts of it to be imported into Japan either. Thus, many Japanese have not tried turkey.
Another reason why turkey didn't catch on as a popular dish during Christmas is the fact that most Japanese folks don't have ovens - or an oven big enough to roast an entire turkey.
One day at KFC's Aoyama branch, a foreigner went to buy some chicken at KFC and said "I'm having a party but because there is no turkey, I've come to get some fried chicken instead."
in 1974, KFC then started promoting the catchphrase "Christmas = Kentucky" and poured a load of yen into the marketing effort. The catchphrase soon caught on and together with the commercials on TV, the Japanese then started to consume a load of Chicken during the festive season.
Video showing how folks in Japan queue up for Kentucky - some of the queues had 2 hour waiting times.
There is a poll embedded in this article.
This photo was also taken at KFC. Finger Lickin Good?
I just realized that this guy handed over cash to the lady who then served me and handed my change back to me. No wonder my chicken had corn in it.
