My Singing Monsters Babies Series 1 Review



Rounding out the first waves of My Singing Monsters toys, Play Monster Fun! has released MSM Babies, and they are just too cute for words... But I'll try.

The first wave has Baby Toe Jammer, Baby Dnadidoo, Baby Pompom, Baby Furcorn, Baby Maw, Baby Flowah, and Baby Mammott. They're are extremely tiny and can fit easily in your hand. They come with an egg you can also store them in. They don't make music, but they're really great if you want something to remind you of your favorite monster without taking up too much space. 



Who would you like to see in the next wave of My Singing Monsters toys? Which island do you think they should next?

Mezco Presents Popeye and Bluto Stormy Seas Ahead Deluxe Boxed Set


The epic rivalry between Popeye and Bluto can now be brought to life by you, courtesy of Mezco Toyz.

The One:12 Collective Popeye gets a refresh. From his crisp white sailor slacks, to his navy and white trimmed shirt, Popeye looks shipshape and in bristle fashion! Included are three different head portraits: two classic One:12 Collective Popeye options and an all-new roughed-up portrait. Popeye comes complete with a wide range of iconic sailor accessories and outfitting listed below.

The One:12 Collective Bluto completes the set. Appearing like he has been hanging around the docks and is up to no good, Bluto cuts a choppy wake wearing a collared shirt over a long-sleeve undershirt, work pants, and work boots - all featuring his classic colors.  He is packaged with two head portraits displaying varying levels of brawn and brawl. Bluto is well-equipped with some heavy, real metal gear to give his adversary a run for his money.

Coming Soon! Funko Directors - Ava DuVernay



Celebrate the Oscar-nominated and Emmy winning filmmaker who became the first black woman to have a film nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards with Selma and who is the top-grossing black woman director in American box office history with A Wrinkle in Time. She has even had a collector’s edition Barbie doll in her likeness sold out in 16 minutes in 2017. Through her arts collective ARRAY, DuVernay amplifies the experience of people of color and women of all kinds on screen through her film and TV projects, including Selma, 13th, A Wrinkle in Time, Queen Sugar and When They See Us.

We don't cover a lot of Funko products, because in all honesty, they don't need the coverage, and we aren't hardcore collectors. However, this is really cool. I like how Funko is highlighting the people who help bring our favorite pop culture franchises to life. I'm also excited for them to include more female directors. Who would you like to see them make a Pop! of? And do you want us to cover more Funko products?
