Morning Article Link: Featuring Godzilla In Power Armor!

Godzilla Rulers Of Earth #2

I’ve seen a number of Godzilla toys on the shelves, usually at K-Mart, but I think I missed these…maybe because I couldn’t afford them at the time. Sci-Fi Japan came across a whole bunch of commercials for Trendmasters’ Godzilla line, including ones where the monsters had power armor! A heavily armed Godzilla? Now there’s your nightmare!

There are also commercials for their toys based on the US “Zilla” movie and an unaired commercial for toys based on the Fox animated series. Did anyone have these? They’d have made great Christmas presents!

As I get to work finishing last this year’s Captain Yuletide there are other Christmas webcomics for you. When a little ninja can’t get the other ninjas to play with him because they’re preparing for Santa, he swears a ninja vengeance with a rather cute happy ending. Click the image above and check out Rubin Pingk’s Samurai Santa: A Very Ninja Christmas!

[UPDATE: Mr. Pingk’s last name was misspelled. I fixed my goof after he let me know on Twitter.]

Jake & Leon #184: Leon’s Christmas Ride part 1

It's a storyline!

It’s a storyline!

How many of you knew that Leon grew up in an orphanage? Actually, that was an intended B-Plot for their first Christmas special, the one that ended up introducing Beth and her parents into the comic. So instead of Fizzbin questioning Christmas traditions I’m going to do something with him this Christmas. He’s long overdue.

  • The Clutter Reports: It’s 2013 and time to once again set up the Christmas tree. The Transformers are gathered around it again, but the display has gone beyond the table.
  • Reviewers Unknown: Here’s an oldie. I take a look at Dan Folkerberg’s “Same Old Lang Syne”, and learn the backstory of the song…but I still have problems with it.

You should have done that years ago, Casey!

The Christmas decorations are up. Time to work on the video review and comic for this Christmas. Hope you enjoy them…and I hope I get them done on time. this year. In the meantime, please send your suggestions in for Christmas Spotlight and vote in the Let’s Play poll. It would be a big help.
