Comments on: KO Kabaya Metroplex and A Crayon Haiku #75! http://www.scary-crayon.com/blog/03-18-2008/mplexhk75/ It's Scary-Crayon's blog, baby.

And, Kuki (#3)'s live-action, grown-up self is pretty easy on the eyes. I tried to find an image to link to, but I suck at using search-engines and couldn't find one.

It was one of the redeeming features in a somewhat disappointing finalé.

Anyway, while it does have some episodes that are painfully stupid, (I certainly wouldn't compare it to the consistently brilliant Code: Lyoko), it also has some episodes that are downright awesome!

A good example would be "Operation A.R.C.H.I.V.E." which is a parody of the Animatrix segment: "The Second Renaissance". And, I mean a word by word, image by image spoof that had me applauding (and probably confused the hell out of anyone who didn't see the Animatrix). Plus, the TV movie "Operation Z.E.R.O." was fantastic.

Anyway, I'm hoping to see Harley Quinn in upcoming Dusty Plastic Hell comics.

The problem is that Grodd is the piecemeal guy and I only want Harley -- so taking into account that I'll probably get her regardless, Grodd would cost me an extra $40 to get (though he'd come with four extra figures that I don't want). Not really worth it to me. Never really got into KND (though I've seen a few eps), so I can't say that I'm familiar with #362. I do quite like #3, though -- and I have no doubt she'd be ssssmokin' hot in a show called Codename: Twenty-somethings Next Door. Yes. Those wacky cell phones, eh?

I mean it is incredibly stupid, but I'm just glad they haven't jacked up the price of toys to such an amount as $50. Still nothing I'd pick over a dollar-general Ninja, though. Speaking of which, I'll soon be submitting a review of those. I meant to write it sooner, but I got sidetracked by the urge to write a KND fanfiction (if anyone's curious, click my name). I recently discovered how awesome the 1x362 pairing is. Anyway, I'm hoping they come out with a cell-phone with a remote toilet-flusher, since that's about the only device they haven't built into those things yet.

There are other concerns as well, though. Frex, I have no idea why you'd be reading Scary-Crayon on a cell phone, but since those apparently don't exactly tabbed browsing (per se) the new windows thing could be awkward. At any rate, leaving the choice of opening links in new tabs/windows up to the reader seems like the best way to handle things, so I'll probably stick with it unless readers strongly protest. :) Well, technically the upcoming Grodd is "free" -- but only if you buy all five figures in DC Universe Classics wave 2, since he's one of those connect-and-collect piecemeal type deals that I hate so much. And since each of the figures one has to buy to assemble him costs $10, consumers essentially have to pay $50 to get him. He's a great value if you actually plan to get most of the figures in the wave, but since I only want Harley I'm pretty disappointed by that. In fact, my disappointment was what led me to buy the Kong figure and make him into Grodd in the first place. By the way, If you want a better look at the DCUC Grodd and the other figures in the wave, <a href="http://www.thefwoosh.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=881&Itemid=1" rel="nofollow">there's a pretty thorough review here on TheFwoosh.</a> The convenience thing was my original view regarding new windows, but I thought the guy had a valid point since -- insofar as I'm worried about losing my place and don't want to leave the page I'm on, anyway -- I right-click and open links in new tabs without thinking.

I'll have to check out your site when I have more time. Those Transformers bootlegs almost seem like a "poor-man's" <i>"Gunpla"</i> kit. And, Wes I gotta disagree with those bloggers. I think it's more convenient with the new windows because you don't lose your place and don't have to worry about remembering to do the right-click thing. But really, it's no biggie either way (especially since I have Firefox and a 3-button mouse, so I just click with the middle button and it goes right to a new tab). Anyway, that is a pretty cool Grodd figure, but what's this about a $50 one coming out? Great article Tresob! I'll have to check out your site when I have more time.
