Scooby Doo Cereal review

scoobydoocerealremember those days in our childhood when we begged our parents to get us cereal because it was branded with our favorite cartoon or video game? Remember how awful those cereals really where once we got them home?  Well those days are back.  “Vanilla” flavored Scooby Doo cereal is the most bland cereal I’ve ever ate, and that says something from i guy who prefers words likes “flakes” and real fruit in his cereal. It’s a very simple corn puff type cereal, like kix, but feels devoid of any sugar at all. If you want healthier, I’d suggest sticking to something with more taste and fruit. My kid isn’t at cereal eating age just yet, but i can’t expect kids will like this,  now my dog? I can for see her having a full bowels of this bland stuff later.

 

Cool Ranch Doritos Taco from Taco Bell incoming

doritastoacoFirst teased by Taco Bell on Facebook, it’s now official. (Credit Buzzfeed) The Ceo has confirmed it is coming, and after the success of the first one, why not?  If they really want to impress me though, they need to figure out how to make soft taco versions.

FSS Jinx review

There is a ton of Joe News out there right now, and a lot to be excited about. Even though I didn’t get the club’s FSS, i did have the chance to get the JINX figure that put as a single on their website. I’ve been slow to get the review up, but finally i’m able to present her. Similar to her VVV figure, this Jinx isn’t just a red ninja in pajamas, she is a battle ready Arashakage Ninja Assassin.

New Ghostbusters game for iOS released

20130126-123551.jpg

A new free game has been released for iOS .Ghostbusters by beeline interactive is free to play, but features power ups etc. that you can purchase, which is a common them among PC and mobile gaming these days.

It takes place after the Ghostbusters video game, but the story begins with a twist on the first few minutes of the Ghostbusters movie. A character returns in this game we haven’t seen since the first movie, and although i’m in the beginning stages i’m interested to see how the story plays out.

The game play is simplistic, you have a party of ghostbusters, including new recruits, and each ghostbuster is given a class, like scientist, or heavy which have different abilities such as launching slime, or causing more damage.  These classes are differentiated by different colored uniforms, but unlike the real ghostbusters these are pleasantly muted in color (light grey, grey, brown)

If your the first to beat the game and want to write a review let me know, I’d be happy to front page it.

The Joe Report’s Poll on the G.I.Joe club magazine (and thoughts)

08_CobraCommanderThe excellent The Joe Report site, has posted a poll about what club members would like to see in their club magazines. Some of the choices included more 12″ content, more 3 3/4″ content or doing away with letters and shifting their cost elsewhere. Personally i voted to tend the letters and take it off of membership dues. The content could become available on the web, and if they fear piracy an App could be an option as well, although that might alienate those without smart phones. Make your voice heard, go vote, and check out the site while your there! (Credit to me knowing about the site, or the poll, goes to Whats on Joe Mind PodCast.)

one of the better of the set imo. Those arms are from the Wave 2 roadblocks hitting shelves now.

The teal! it burns my eyes, possibly the most disappointing of the set.

Overall I am disappointed. The Joes like a cohesive color scheme, some of the character selections seem off, and some of the new heads don’t impress me (Hit and Run, and Repeaters)  But i’d love to know your thoughts.

I have mixed feelings on ASP, the paint scheme looks stunning, but why so coil friendly?
