I'll turn this new week back into a human

 

It's the first Monday of the new year and you know what that means Zone Base readers. It's a new week here on Planet Zone! The first one of 2022! Dang! I hope you all had a good holiday weekend, I sure did. Between putting away Christmas decorations and some household chores, I found some time to relax and unwind. Played some video games, played with some toys, watched paranormal shows on Discovery Plus, and binged episodes of 1000 lb Sisters. Which might also qualify as a paranormal show.

Honestly, New Years isn't a big deal to the Mrs and myself. We generally just get something to eat and catch the countdown on TV come midnight. I had some great sushi from our local favorite Japanese restaurant. Not a bad way to ring in the new year if you ask me. Even wore my new Demon Slayer pants!

Over the holidays the toy backlog got a lot added to it. So you never know what toy based posts I'll do here. Something new, something I haven't opened yet, or something old I just wanted to talk about. Admittedly the posts can be a bit random here, but hey, I always say variety is the spice of life. You never know what I'll post about next, it might be a surprise! I've got a fun week in mind. Thanks for reading Zone Base and as always, please share with your friends!

New Week Combine!

It's time for another exciting week here on Zone Base! There's a new episode of Not as Brightly Lit available in case you missed it. They'll be another every Thursday, so please check that out. I've got some neat stuff to talk about this week. As always, please share with your friends!

Watch This Magnus

I'm pretty sure you're well aware but, it's Christmas. While out shopping I've been taking notice of all the licensed character watches. They're something fun to stick in a stocking. A cool small gift. As usual, there's plenty of various Transformers ones next to the Baby Yoda ones. 

It's funny how these days you just take them for granted. Some are little toys, or just have a symbol, but you know they'll be there. Back in the day this particular set was a pretty hot commodity. Released in Japan around Scramble City/2010 time and later in G2 here in the US. 

There was plenty of Transformers fans trying to complete a set back then. They're pretty cool, it's easy to see why someone would want to collect them all. I wonder if in a few years will fans who are kids now would be trying to do the same with those watches we take for granted. I kinda hope so.

Your Mummy Wants Some Ice Cream

Who doesn't love ice cream? Despite the normally cooler temperatures of fall, a ice cream cake from Carvel shaped like a pumpkin is just the thing for a spooky dessert. The wife and I often get one ourselves, they're great. We're definitely getting one this year, especially after last year's Baskin Robbins Halloween Ice Cream cake fiasco.

What happened? Pure incompetence when trying to order one lead to a corporate complaint and a complimentary one. I'd like to say all was well, but even the act of picking it up was a nightmare. So, we're gladly getting another Carvel this year. Unfortunately we don't have access to a Carvel store here in Georgia, but they're readily available at most grocery stores. 

You think the mummy is overdue for some ice cream goodness? He's been in that tomb for what, 50 billion thousand years? You know his dry ass could go for that pleasant vanilla taste and he'd probably savor the coldness after being buried in the hot desert for so long. I'll tell you what, though. No matter how cool I think the mummy is, that fool tries to steal a piece of my Carvel and I'd have to whoop that old ass. He's like a King or something, he can buy his own.
