Battle Cat

God I hope we get a Master of the Universe film that’s in the world of the toys/cartoons.

So many of the characters may be batshit crazy but that’s what I want (full disclosure: I still have all my MOTU toys. My rarest is probably Roboto? Though mine are all well out of their packaging. I remember getting Castle Grayskull for Christmas when I was… four? I bought Ram-Man for 50p at a school fete. Pretty sure I’ve still got all the story books, plus the annual 198… 4? So awesome. I’ll stop now.)

Edit: This is also a great excuse to repost the greatest video the internet has ever produced:

-opoly

Turns out there are far more themed Monopolies that I ever imagined. I’ve been babysitting John’s KISSopoly for a few years now and there are all the city variations but on the dog front alone there’s:

Puppyopoly, Dogopoly (plus Dachshundopoly, Pugopoly, Boxopoly, Labopoly, Yorkieopoly, I swear there’s one for every breed), Catopoly, Horseopoly, Wineopoly, Farmopoly, Bibleopoly, Photopoly, Ponyopoly, Baconopoly, Pirateopoly, Cocktailopoly, Fairyopoly, Princessopoly, Cycleopoly, Hold’emopoly, Fishingopoly, Penguinopoly, Earthopoly, Spaceopoly, Golfopoly, Candyopoly, Monsteropoly, Irelandopoly, Stitchopoly, Snowmanopoly, Bookopoly, Scubaopoly, Chocolateopoly, Rodeopoly, Zombieopoly, Dinopoly, Brewopoly.

It goes on. I guess it’s an incredibly low effort way to dish out a game.

Mr Holmes

There was a glorious moment when I thought this might be based on Neil Gaiman’s story from a Study in Sherlock, even so I’m looking forward to seeing McKellen as Holmes.
