TOYSREVIL’s TOP TEN TOYS of 2016: #6 - CILLIC from GLITCH
TOYSREVIL TOP TEN TOYS of 2016: #6 - CILLIC from GLITCH
One of the main appeals for me, in terms of GLITCH products - and in this instance "God Complex" - are the original character creations and their designs. Their 1/6th-scaled figures have been highlights of my collection, and it would have been a utter dream to be able to collect them ALL!

Introducing the "MILK CREATURE (Thala-Siren)" playset from Star Wars: The Last Jedi!
#SPOILERS: If you do not want your viewing of STAR WARS THE LAST JEDI tainted with any spoilers, I'd advise you to STAY AWAY from this particular post! And while this particular "spoiler" might not necessarily affect the MAIN STORY of the film, it might rob you of the chance to go "WTF???" when it happens on-screen ... along with what tons of folks are saying about basically the entire film... ![]()

Actual Sunlight, Little Red Lie, and the relationship between wealth and health
In support of World Mental Health Day back in October, game developer Will O'Neill ran an offer on itch.io for a bundle of two of his visual novel/adventure games, Actual Sunlight and Little Red Lie. Both games take a bold look at mental and physical health problems and how they interact with each other, while also analysing how differing socioeconomic circumstances can affect a person's experience of such challenges.
Both games can be quite bleak in their outlook. There are the pleasant-yet-downtrodden of society who are hit hard by every setback they experience, while hideous personalities seem to float above all of the crises they unleash. However, the games don't reduce good and evil to how much cash the characters have in their wallets; it instead paints a picture of their different types of struggles, where they learn, and where they fail to learn.
The big message I took away from playing the two games consecutively is that having wealth is becoming increasingly vital to keeping healthy. However, being rich isn't a solution to everything; you also need the right attitude, since money can also simply be used to paper over the cracks. Until it's no longer there. Even if you do have endless amounts of cash, that can be squandered on quick-fix solutions, if you throw money at your problems instead of facing them, truthfully and head-on, they will never go away.

Dragon Ball FighterZ character trailer stars SSGSS Goku
Namco Bandai have popped out yet another slight character trailer for their upcoming anime scrapper Dragon Ball FighterZ, this one featuring yet another wacky variant of series protagonist, Goku.
The trailer features Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (SSGSS) Goku. More commonly known as Goku Blue. In the anime, this form is accessed by going Super Saiyan once you have attained the power of Super Saiyan God. In the game it's probably accessed by picking him from the character select.
The release of Dragon Ball FighterZ is bearing down on us now, just under a month away in fact. With the roster now really packing out, it will be interesting to see who rises to the top once Dragon Ball FighterZ hits PS4, Xbox One and PC January 26.

Reminiscing About Christmas, Steiff Style!
There's no place like home for the holidays - no matter where home may be at the moment! Steiff has always helped to make our annual wintertime celebrations even more special, by finding its way in to stockings, under trees or around the menorah or kinara. Check out this photo and brief story from the December/January 2018 edition of the magazine Reminisce. According to its website, this publication is "The nation’s premier nostalgia magazine, Reminisce celebrates what we loved then and how it shapes our lives now." Do you recognize a few special friends here?

These Steiff dogs would have any collector's tail a-wagging. Phyrene's gift is Steiff's happy Hexie the Dachshund. Hexie is standing and made from light and darker tan mohair which has been detailed with copper colored airbrushed highlights to give her more dimension. She has really jolly black and white google eyes and a black hand embroidered black nose and mouth. All Hexies left the factory wearing a thin red collar. This delightful doggie was originally manufactured in 9, 13, 20, and 25 cm between 1954 and 1974. It is interesting to note that the German word for "witch" is "hexe." Perhaps she was given this name because she was designed to cast a magic spell over collectors with her irresistible looks and impish personality?

Phyllis has it made in the shade with her new friend. Her pup is Steiff's Maidy the Poodle. Maidy is standing, unjointed, and made from Steiff's lovely and unusual black "Persian Lamb" textured mohair. She has a slightly longer mohair "beard" around her chin. Her eyes are lovely and distinctive; they are large hand blown almond shaped and feature a black pupil, brown iris, and white corners. Her ears are lined in black mohair. Maidy is one of those Steiff "One-derful" items, made for just a year or so. Specifically, she appeared in the Steiff catalog in 1959 only in 25 and 30 cm. Collectors may recognize Maidy's distinctive fabric as almost identical to the covering of Steiff's larger "Swapl" Persian lambs. These baa-ing black beauties appeared in the line in 10, 14, 22, 28, and 35 cm from 1957 to 1964 overall.

Stitching thing up here, a little research shows that the Singer factory in Karlsruhe did indeed manufacture sewing machines from 1954 until 1982. This timing perfectly aligns with Phyllis' story. According to singersewinginfo.co.uk, "The Singer factory in Karlsruhe, Germany was in production from 1954 until 1982. In 1954 Singer purchased the factory and sewing machine business of the Haid-und-Neu company in Karlsruhe, Germany. Haid-und-Neu had been manufacturing sewing machines in Karlsruhe since the 1860’s and had purpose built the existing factory in 1893... Machines produced at the Karlsruhe factory were identified by a suffix G added to their model numbers. i.e. 215G. Serial numbers took the form of PA, PB, PC etc. followed by 6 digits starting at 000001 up to 999999."
Steiffgal hopes that this special season celebrating peace, love, and joy helps bring more of those essential things to the fabric of our lives in 2018.

Look what can happen when you get onto Santa's "nice" list! Here we have a vintage photo of two charming young girls and their father posing next to a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. You can click on it to make it larger. The copy reads, "Joyous Noel. In 1960, the year I turned 5, my family celebrated Christmas in Karlsruhe, Germany, where my father, Gabby, an engineer, worked for the Singer sewing machine company. My other sister, Phyrene, 13, loved stuffed animals as much as I did. My mom, Fernanda, took the photo. Phyllis Gebhard, Milwaukee, WI." And dog-gonnit, you can't help but notice the pretty pooches the girls are holding - they are "button in ear" dogs made by our pals in Giengen. It doesn't get much better than this!

Injustice 2 patch prepares for the coming of Enchantress
There is a new patch out for Netherealm's comic-book fighter Injustice 2. The January update irons out some bugs and tweaks a few individual fighters, as well as preparing the data for the coming of the game's next DLC character, Enchantress.
Enchantress, who will arrive next month, is the second character from Fighter Pack #3, following The Atom and preceding the highly-anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. One of the more mid-tier DC Villains, Enchantress recently received the spotlight courtesy of her appearance in last-year's Suicide Squad flick, played by Cara Delevingne.
For anyone who wants to check out the latest fixes to the game, the full patch notes can be found right here at the Warner Bros. Interactive blog. The new update is live now on all platforms.
