Trick Or Treating With The Beetleborgs

Beetleborgs and Halloween seem like a pretty natural fit right? I mean, half of the cast is a haunted house full of monsters led by some cocaine fueled Jay Leno ghost. It's only natural Fox Kids would run a contest to go trick or treating with the Beetleborgs right? Unfortunately they instead ran a contest where you'd win a chance to go trick or treating with the Beetleborgs and said cocaine Jay Leno ghost.

VR Troopers Happy Meal


This Happy Meal was out when I worked at McDonald's in High School. Let's just say some goober with kool-aid dyed hair thought he was awesome wearing this stuff to school.

Did not go as planned.

What the heck did I do this weekend?


Actually, quite a lot. Saturday after I got home from work the wife and I went to go visit my mom who lives about 2 hours away. While we were there, we did some shoe shopping (I got some neato blue sneaks) as well as check out that Target's Halloween section. They had a great layout! Unfortunately they didn't have any TF's I was looking for. Which is ok, because on our way out we checked our P.O BOX and it had a gift from my pal John! John sent me a cool weapon pack from Drive Head. It's a translucent version of Sonic Interceptors weapons! Neato!

We ordered way too much pizza and watched Black Panther before heading back home.

Sunday, I woke up early to pick up our grocery order and a few more things we needed while the wife slept in (she drove home the night before). The store had a few substitutions for some items which I rejected and went inside to pick out something else which somehow led me to the toy section and whammo bammo there was reissue Hot Rod sitting on the shelf. I grabbed one before picking out tortellini.

On the way home, I somehow found myself inside Target where I picked up some early Christmas shopping for my wife. While they didn't have any of the Speed Series I was hoping to find, they did have the new Studio Series Bumblebee movie figure...somehow he ended up in my basket. Weirdest thing.

I got home and was welcomed by not only a fresh cooked breakfast, but also my super duper Walgreen's info friend leaked me some new Siege listings including a Ratchet that was previously unknown and possibly exclusive to Walgreen's. I decided to go ahead and forward the info to my friends at Tformers before posting here. I wasn't planning to break out my laptop, but wanted to help get the news out fast.

While eating breakfast, I caught up on my DVR and man Super Ninja Steel had a surprise.


While I'm aware Jiraiya made an appearance in Ninninjer, I didn't anticipate the footage in Ninja Steel. It was super cool to see Metal Heroes make a Power Rangers showing and with his new American name Space Sheriff Skyfire (if only Greg Berger did his voice), I really hope there's a surprise toy of him in the toy line like the Evil Red Ranger. 

I ended the weekend like I do most, in bed with the wife watching spooky videos before we go to sleep. Something about weird things Drones manage to video makes for a good time.

The Mobile Cop Jiban opening


I wish I has more than a casual knowledge of The Metal Heroes series outside of watching the occasional episode when I have some spare time. Thanks to VR Troopers, Big Bad Beetleborgs, and it's friendly relationship with Robocop I was drawn to the series naturally. One thing I really enjoy about older tokusatsu is the embracing of horror in the villains. Sure, you got the sci fi and all, but the monsters are straight out of an 1980's haunted house. What's not to love?
