Nor California has return to Kickstarter. Ohms, ohms for the poor. That's appropriate, right? Yeah, that's a money Python reference.
Seriously? With a question mark on your face. Phil and I just finished this play and... You guys were in the play, I'm not in the cult.
Oh, God. Anyway, why don't you jump on over to Kickstarter and help us level up by lowering the bar? Go to Kickstarter.com. Project.
nowhere-josh. lowering-the-bar. Or, if you want to go to Facebook.com.net or California, you can do that too. Or you can go to Nor California.com if we have any links there.
It's as simple as that. Oh, gosh! This is Nick! And welcome to Nowhere, California.
I think it's all nice. Yeah, because I mean, like, we're moving along. We're all going to regular episodes today. We've got an anniversary coming up.
Yep, we are. We're close to 307. Fucking near it, there's shit. Wow.
I didn't have a size of fucking on that. Yeah, there's a lot of... there's a long... I mean, I think it was really bad.
I think Carla would be proud. Of course Carla would be proud. Yeah, as we just stated, we are getting close to our anniversary, our sixth year. Full year of doing this and starting our seventh year.
That's nuts. Yeah, we're gonna be recording our anniversary episode here in a couple weeks. Oh, that's where we get to, like... Pat each other on the back.
Yeah, and then you get to jerk each other off and tell each other how fantastic we are. That's a little self-love-fest and then we get into the subject of anal bleaching or... All these comes back to anal bleaching. Ever since that colonoscopy, it comes back to...
It's a scary moment. When you get yours... Look, I just picture an interesting. Can we clean them up a little bit?
And somebody comes in with some Clorox and toothbrush and just kind of... Scrubbing your butt a little bit. Unfortunately for people that are probably sitting there, like, stop talking about the Stutes. Ask.
Like I said, with Anastasia, I was telling them where they could have done whatever. And there's probably some, like, freaking black market video of them doing stuff to my butt. If anybody has that video, please send it to us at nowherecalifornia.com or hit us up on Facebook. I would be glad to do a play-by-play of that on the podcast.
You send us the 4k cut of it, I will do commentary. No 4k cut. Wow, look at the detail of that brown starfish. That's a beautiful thing.
Oh, Lord. Well, okay. Then go from something shitty to... Something kind of good.
We are returning to the world of Kickstarter or we have returned. Yeah. As you were listening to this, we hit the... Little over weekend?
I think we're about a weekend and we're close to the halfway point. I bet we did it last time. Yeah, we're about $25 off the mark for the halfway point. As you listen to this.
We knocked zero off the last one. I'm sure you'll hear with some of our bumpers and our messages. You know, our begging, pleading, crying. That doesn't mean it says this time.
We've shot for a goal of $440. We're about at the halfway mark right now. And thank you to everybody who's donated so far. Do you want to give them the long-winded version of how to get there?
Let's see if I can do this without reading it off the page. Ooh. Yeah. Without a Next.
Here we go. Kickstarter.com slash. Okay. Can I give a shot?
It's Kickstarter.com slash project slash nowhere dash josh slash lowering dash the dash bar. Good for you. That's a really long way of getting to the same thing you can probably get to if you went to our Facebook page or even our website, No Wear California. Because as soon as this episode gets posted, we will have an official post on our website with links and all that fun.
Hell, you could probably just go to Kickstarter and either type in No Wear California or lowering the bar and you will find us. I am pretty sure Kickstarter is made lowering the bar synonymous with No Wear California. Hey, we've been doing that for the past seven years. So if you want to donate and jump over there and the best part about this is you don't have to donate 25 bucks.
You don't have to donate $100 or $5 or whatever. All you have to do is donate $1. I have been meaning to look and see if you can donate 50 cents. I think it's a $1.00 form.
Because how shitty would it be if we fell $439.99? That I would just give the fuck up. Actually, I would really give up my last episode because I'm sure Josh would just go to the beach, stand on a cliff, take a deep breath and blow his brains all over the Pacific. I'm one of those weirdos.
If that would happen, everybody would be like, oh, Josh is probably going to be so aggressive. I'd be like, that's awesome. Two sons of bitches. And the funny thing is none of us can pony up a penny.
We can't pay for our own Kickstarter project. Oh, I can't, you can. Oh, that's right. I can't.
But I'm a moderator, right? No, I think you can. I'm the big wig of it though. You just like senior big wig.
Anyway, the cool aspect of this whole project that we're doing is you don't have to donate the money right now. Let's say you go to your wallet or your account and you go, oh shit, I don't have enough for this. I need gas. Here's the kicker.
You basically are pledging that you're going to put your portion in whatever it is you choose to pledge, the dollar, $5, $25, whatever it is you choose to do. You're basically just saying, this is what I'm going to contribute. And you do not have to pay one red cent until September 15th when we actually succeed or fail. If we fail, you don't pay it on.
You don't have to pay anything. If we succeed, they'll send you with all the notification and we'll be screaming it from Mount Dot. You actually did this. That we passed our goal.
And that we reach our goal and we did what we sent out to do. So just keep that in mind. If you can't donate, we totally understand. All we ask is that if you catch it on Facebook or somewhere else, pass it along for us.
Maybe there's some people out there that wants to support a narcissistic and shitty podcast like ourselves. We need to grab the bag. Yeah, we'll throw some money out there. Sure beat the hell out of the Freeway Panhandle.
I'm still not over that freaking exhaust fumes. Well, you know, it makes you a little lightheaded. Yeah, it's awesome. You're a damn good dancer when you're lit up on my three-year-old CO2 fumes.
Yeah, so not to be did over the head. We'll say it one more time. Kickstarter.com slash project slash nowhere dash Josh slash lowering dash the dash bar. You did it.
Yeah. Gigliotti. That's not you, Marilyn. He's been practicing for about a year and a half on the name.
Hey, anytime I fuck it up, you guys feel free to point it out though. Yeah, of course, of course. Because that's no work. You interviewed her what 874 times?
Yeah, I think she's going to avoid this at Ellie's Hong Kong. Oh, no. I'll go up. I'll try a little bit.
Yeah. He's not going to talk to you this time. Somebody get this fat guy out of it. Okay, so that's about it on the kickstarter stuff.
We'll be talking about it in the next couple of weeks. You'll hear the bombs. You'll see your info and all that fun crap. But before we step into the main topic at hand, which I believe is comathon, right?
I bit my tongue this time because left I'm going to record it. It, you know, get smacked for not bearing the lead. So I have my journalistic integrity. Yeah, it barely does.
The only thing you have any integrity about. So I'll let them have it. Yes. But before we get into that, in the past, we've had these moments when we recorded that they're hilarious or just something we loved it at, but could just not find that point to throw into the episode.
Okay. And each time we've said, okay, we've got to figure out what to do with these. We've got to figure out what to do with these. And we just, they kind of go in obscurity.
Okay. This was not the first time we tried to do a kickstarter watch episode. No, no. A couple of months back, we recorded and I fucking sucked.
Well, you know, there was, you were carrying a lot on your shoulders. I believe this was prior to your Hawaii trip. Yeah, prior to Hawaii trip, some of the issues, and I was going to leave them from the recording street to work. Yeah.
I'd rather be getting a hole in the hospital. You can go to work. Anytime that we were about to record in this guy has to go to work. Oh my God, he is flooded with rage and just, he's not here.
He's not here. He's not here. I don't know. It's all rage though.
It's a motion. It's a next up emotion. But rage is a fun one. Yes.
So, you know, it's just kind of indicative of how everyday life can get to us sometimes. You know, we can't all be the consummate professionals that we'd like to be behind the microphone. So, you know, we took our shot at it. And we were getting towards the end of the episode, leading to what you're about to hear because this chunk of audio is something that can't be erased.
It has to see the light of day. Yes. This dude next to me is sitting there being, freaking eloquent, like talking to me up, telling the listeners and everything like, oh my God, this dude put so much of himself into this thing, money wise, creativity wise, everything like that. Well, he says the guy to the right of him.
Yeah. And this light bulb pops in my head just to see what kind of reaction I can get from these two, him and Bill at the time. So, he says the guy to the right of me, he continues, I kind of lean back and kind of look side aside. Now, don't spoil what you said.
Yeah. I'm bleeding up to something and it kind of explodes from there. And honestly, I think this is what broke Bill. I think we killed Phil.
We talk about his degenerative disease that he has. I think we may have broken his ribs. Yeah. I know you did.
It was self fucking ridiculous. It was outrageously funny and it was just something where we just kind of had to put a lid on it till now and so we're going to deliver it to you. I'm going to hide the same way I did on the video a little bit. This guy on my right, Joshua Gilmore, has been the brain shiver behind this whole thing.
They didn't hear me trying to figure it out if it was actually right, right? Is that what you just did? I was like, what are you doing? He tried to tell me to shorten it up.
No, no, you turned. I left to see what you was writing left. What? This is the blood cayner garden here.
I didn't know what to do. The brains and brains and brains. He's telling us why I can't. So, our fucking cheese.
That just happened. I love detailing them. Okay, that's the breath right now. So, the really neat guys.
Oh, I thought he was giving me a cue. I'm trying to help his back. He tried to figure out which was right left if I had the right. That was shit.
That was shit. That's the whole thing. That's the whole thing. That was the whole thing.
That was the whole thing. My right. Oh, I needed that. Oh, no.
Let's keep trying to help. So, what's the fucking guy next to me is the one who came up with Miller, California. He's the brains and the brain behind this operation. And he puts so much of himself into this.
Because of the fact he doesn't know which, right and the left. He was the right. He was the right. He really is smart, folks.
God damn it. I feel like I'm trying to sell it down since I'm on the black market. I don't know who here is. I'm not smart enough.
I don't know who that was great. Well, anyway, this is going to pay for a shot here. Pretty much. God, I'll buy it for that.
Just tell me you have to do it. Fuck it. I'm pretty sure I heard you snort. Don't put it about me.
I do it all the time. If something really gets me, you'll catch a snort. And I was definitely one of those moments. That was, took us a while to bring one of our funnier moments to you.
Isn't that us for timing? Yeah. Yeah. Now let's talk about Comic Con 2016, right?
I'm going to go there. You said 2016. Here. That was all.
Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. You're really. Yeah, we're talking about it.
Now it's the happiest three days for nerds on earth. Yes. It should be just a fucking week in mind as well. It might as well be just a whole week.
Right. It's getting to the point where they're cramming all this stuff into three days where it's like just spread it out and make people pay more as well. People pay their souls to go. Exactly.
So, you know, Comic Con brings you kind of in collective makes it a lot of things. It brings you upcoming films, upcoming comics, upcoming television shows, toys and collectibles. You don't really see video games, but that's basically. I mean, no, no, there's, I mean, there's some reveals there, you'll see some developers and things like that.
And some of the new stuff. Yeah, and any games. You'll see Ubisoft, you know, that'll sometime show up and activate and a few of the others that'll kind of poke their head in. But it's kind of off to its own little area.
But, you know, Comic Con is always about trailers, whether it be television, whether it's a film. You know, even with D23 going on. You still got some really good scenes. Marvel brought a pretty new game.
They brought their A game. Yeah, they did bring their A game to it. But, you know, we figured before we jump into the trailers, we'll talk about some of the collectibles and things. Oh, yeah, there's some awesome ones.
You know, we'll get back to the realm of toys and whatnot. I'm a big toy collector and big pop culture collector. You're big into the Funko. I love my Funko.
I love my Funko. I'm sorry, WWE, Lucky Sub, but. I'm really, really, really selective with mine. So, you know, I saw a couple that I was like, oh, for sure.
For sure. I had to get these. But I love the ones you were talking about. Yeah, like, the first one right off the mat that I'm going to hunt down even if I have to pay an arm and like, I'm not sure if Funko was for the zombie moral Funko.
I'd be at 30 bucks. And that thing goes for over 180 bucks now online. Yeah, and it's ridiculous. See, no.
That's the thing I don't understand. We were traveling to Frankenstein's quite a bit of a collectible place we have here in Southern California. And, uh, over Saturday morning, when's the evening? So, we need to make our return trips soon.
Very soon. So, there's a guy right when you first walk in that has some Funko collectibles. And before they really blew up big, I missed my opportunity. Remember how I put off buying the Kingdom Come Superman?
Oh, yeah. 25 dollars, right? You try to find him now. He's a couple hundred dollars.
You know, behind me on the wall here, I have Funko's reaction figures. I have the San Diego 2015 San Diego Comic Con exclusive sloth. Yeah. The Superman S on his chest.
If you find the Funko that has the Superman S on it, another couple hundred dollars. Oh, um, there's a fucking nightmare. There's, I go on to Ebay off and on to just see what Funko's in there. And then I'll check through the rare ones.
So, if there's anyone, I may be able to grab that. There's one of Rick and Morty, Mr. Mises. Over a thousand dollars.
Yeah. Because he has a wiener. Yeah. It's a factory defect.
Yeah, there's several out there. And I came very close. I could have, I was thinking about buying this one because we had a target. It was a Captain Underpants Funko.
It's supposed to be him with the underpants and a cape. This one did not have a cape on. It was a factory defect. Well, now, see, okay, here's the thing.
As a figure collector, and I'll tell you this one. There's a difference between a mistake on a card. Yeah. Now, I will jump in here and say this really quick.
As a collector, there's a huge difference. Now, I picked up figures that would say, okay, Cobra Commander, but it winds up. It's death row on the card. So you think, ooh, I got me something else.
Yeah. That's just a production mistake. That's not necessarily like a variant where. It has something different going on with them or there's some, you know, like the Captain Underpants thing could have been something where the cape was accidentally left off.
Just in front of it, or it fell off. Yeah. I got, you know, a pretty soon shipped out. Yeah.
Now, don't get me wrong. Some of those things can be worth a shit ton of money. Yeah. Point in case of the 90, 94, 92, whatever it was, canter power the force line.
When they first came out with the updated figures, they had Luke, Buffalo. It was a huge tested Buffalo. Obi-Wan, Kenobi, and Darth Vader. And they had extra, they had these really long lightsabers, which were accurate to the figure, but they were super flimsy.
So they reduced the size of the lightsaber. The Obi-Wan Kenobi that came out later on, that has the short lightsaber, but is sitting in the long tray, is a factory mistake. Okay. And it's worth a shit ton of money.
Okay. It's like the difference between the old Jawa figures from Star Wars. One has a vinyl cape, one has a plastic cape. You tell me what the fuck the difference is.
Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. But the vinyl cape one is worth like $3,500.
Oh, shit. Yeah, it's outrageous. Even out of the package, it's worth close to $1,000. Oh my God.
So yeah. I mean, it's Captain Underpants like a game of shit. But yeah, you know what? I mean, here's the thing.
Yeah, honestly, I wouldn't really sell it. Right. And I was going to say, you know, for people who collect, this is why Sandy would comment on such a big deal. If you pick up free shit or if you pick up stuff that's pretty discounted there, you know, point in case I have a collection of, you know, from the Flashpoint series, I have the poker chips from one casino.
Okay. And they started out, I think it's $1, maybe $5. We start at $1 or $5, $5, $5, $10, $15, $25, $50, $50, and then there's a silver and black $100 chip that was given out exclusively by heads from DC Comics. I happen to be in a panel and I asked the Holy Grail of DC artists, including Jim Lee, Rob Lai, Chris Morrison, all those guys.
Yeah, that was, that was the one. And they were like, well, no, you can't, but here's a poker chip. No, they already said here. Yes, this is a 100 dollars coming out and record.
Present this to Candy and she'll let it, you know, let you back in your area where there's a glory hole with the Joker Space on it. So it'll be nice to you. You blew Marvel people. You know, it tasted like money.
That being said, you know, I'd ask the question. I said, listen, you know, you guys see cosplayers throughout the weekend. If any of you could cosplay, you know, show up and costume and not be pastored, you know, who would you choose? Being comic book artists.
That's awesome. Without, you know, being tied to DC or Marvel or anybody else, who would you choose? And of course, you know, DC got a lot of DC kids. Grant Morrison, not that Scott.
He's such a badass. He's, you know, bald. Immediately was like, you know, the only thing I could go with is Lex Luthor. But it was a really cool thing.
So as I came back from the microphone, I was sitting down, you know, sit down. There was the, one of the VPs of editing for DC, I can't remember his name on top of it, but he handed me one hundred dollars. Oh, fuck. So now I have, I happen to have two complete collections.
But if you sold them at that time, if you sold them at that time, people were paying upwards. I'm $150, $250 just for that damn chip. Yeah. Now it's a little, you know, the price gets knocked off.
So you really have to kind of cash in on it. And that's a lot of people hate that because Comic Con is like, they'll buy stuff, buy it in bulk and you may not get a figure that you really wanted to collect because some asshole managed to get some and you weren't able to, you know, grab one and he turned around and he's selling them off. Indicative of that, there's a FedEx booth right smack outside the convention hall where you can ship your shit off. So anything you can get and you want to sell, anything you get for free and you make a dollar off of.
You made a dollar. You made a dollar off something you got for free. That used to be the case with with the comic book shops. Yeah.
Dan, you know, one of the guys I know, he happened to say that to me one time. Anything that you sell that comes in free, you know, whether to be posters or whatever they are, makes money, makes money. It's revenue that comes in for you. So who cares?
It's, you know, whatever it might be. So that's the thing. Buy it up. If you're, if you're concerned, if you look at it and go, oh shit, this, you know, kind of underpants and miss in a cave, buy it up and then do the research on it.
You may have yourself an extremely rare one. It happens. The, the WWE Superstars, L.O.D. and when the red shoulder pads and stuff like that, which I haven't find it, never saw it again, turn around like online.
That was selling for a couple hundred dollars. Nice. And I want to sell it off cash, right? Yeah.
But, um, around about way, um, I forgot where I was going. But hey. I'm sorry, I ran. No, that's, no, you can be on collectibles and I start going like.
No, that's some stuff I need to know. Right. So I'm sorry, bring you back and try. You were talking about the collectibles you saw the Funkas and stuff, the same thing with Comic-Coal.
There was one, there was a lot of Funkos, of course, but there was one set that I was, that I will I will count my price, I won't pay a couple hundred bucks for it, but I get my hands on these. I really want the Ren and Stimpy Happy Happy Joy Joy set. It's a basic set, it's even more basic than the Firedogs set, because it's just Ren wearing the helmet, Stimpy with the control in his hand, and Ren's in the dance mode, but it's Happy Happy Joy Joy. Now, were they exclusive to Stimpy?
Or are these ones that were revealed to Stimpy? No, exclusive to Stimpy. Gotcha. That's kind of like in the vein of the Ghostbusters that we covered in- March, maybe two years ago.
Yeah. The Ghostbusters covered Marshmallow and we also had the slime Peter Vinkman and the metallic and the slime remade. Yeah. Yeah.
They do those every year in their nightmare. If I could get a hold of the fucking Conan O'Brien collection. Oh my God. Okay, this year they had him as a white walker.
They had him as- I think Spider-Man. Spider-Man? Iron Man? No, it was Iron Man.
No, Spider-Man was this year. Spider-Man was this year. White Walker, Spider-Man. Flash.
Flash. Flash. Flash. It was a fourth one and I can't think of it off the top of my head.
What's the most? Yeah, but I mean, they're just, and I love the Conan Remade, but they're so fucking exclusive and hard to get all of them that they go for hundreds of dollars. That's kind of the key thing too, before we get on to your list. In more mind, since I work targeting everything and I'm a Funko collector, I've run across resellers and we've instituted because of me, I target any target exclusive Funkos, they do not go on to the floor.
They go behind the counterelectronics and people have to ask because I don't want resellers taken off. Right. Six of them in here. Oh, it was the Jedi one.
Sorry, I was doing research while you were doing it. Yeah, I apologize. And that's the whole thing too. And this is going to be true because as much as I love Funkos and everything, the bubble will burst.
You're absolutely right. These things are going to be de-de-de-babies. Here's the thing, Funko's rolling hard with them. And they're still going like crazy.
And on some of these, I would say the same thing, but look at this, San Diego Comic Con 2017 exclusive in hand Funko Pop Conan Spider-Man, $102, right off the bat. 32-bit still has an hour, two hours left on it. So I guarantee it'll top $130. Yeah.
Some more of $230. Yeah, I'd say that. Okay, $100 for the Andy Richter as a Jedi. Oh, is he gone this year?
Yes. Yeah, so now they also have Jedi Conan, which was another $100. If you go back one year, the Superman Funko Conan is $309. The Stormtrooper from last year, $100 and $75 for the White Walker.
It's nuts. So if you can get your hands on them, look, I'll tell you right now, if you look up the most expensive Funko Pop there is, there's a Freddy Funko that's limited to like four pieces. Yeah. And it literally goes for like $10,000.
Oh, yeah, I've seen it. I've seen it. I've seen it on those. It's Knuck and Futs.
Yeah. It's Knuck and Futs. For something that looks like a glorified Happy Meal toy. Right.
It's really, I mean, don't get me wrong, they're fantastic. I remember talking to some of the people from, you know, San Diego Comic Con, from Funko at San Diego Comic Con, and I believe Wonder Con before they really really took off. They just got to be swimming in no rock. Yeah.
And maybe an exclusive Johnny Depp with Blood all over the box from, you know, part two. With that, there you go. There you go. There's those Funko vehicles.
They have the RV from Breaking Bad. They can have the bloody bag from. Yes. See now, for me, you know, the things get revealed at, I don't know why I said reveal that way, but they get revealed at, it's really weird.
Yeah, performers here. It's true. So, you know, the figures and collectibles and things that get revealed at San Diego Comic Con are huge to me. It's things that you're going to be able to buy in the future and whatnot.
Hasbro is great about showing the upcoming line and you just kind of woof, you lose your marvels. You might tell the same thing. So, those are some of the things that I look at. There's a couple of exclusives that are on my list that I'm like, yes, I will hold those figures.
But for the most part, looking to the future, you know, with Star Wars coming out, Marvel films are coming out, the different things that are coming down the line, a lot of figures are getting along with those. And so, it's kind of cool to see the reveal. There was some good reveals. Like WWE had a pretty big reveal too.
I missed those and I can't wait to hear what you're going to tell me about these. Yeah. It's been a while for WWE, like if you're wrestling or anything, you know the Women's Division is becoming huge. Huge.
Very huge. They have, technically these are Barbie dolls. Okay. The Women's Division has Fashion dolls now.
They have the main of the Barbie dolls. The Bell twins, Becky, Sasha, and Charlotte had the Fashion dolls and then they have a line of action figures directed for girls. Okay. And I saw this like, those are awesome.
Good. See, now that's piggyback and I love this because I, you know, we'll cite Wonder Woman for, you know, really pumping the hype out a lot of it. But, you know, the DC came out of the line just for the girls, which has like Supergirl, yeah, the Harley Quinn Wonder Woman. Supergirl higher or something like that.
Yeah. And so, it's kind of in the vein of the Monster High and whatnot, but it has these DC superheroes. And I'm like it's like these are into Monster High. I'll be more than happy by my nieces at WWE dolls before I buy those stupid Monster High.
Yeah, I agree. But it's good to see that they're expanding on the line and really going after the younger audience of girls and things like that that have been WWE fans for years. Oh yeah. And there's a lot more like, there's an exclusive set of Thor figures, the whole crew that the case of it folds in together and you unfold it and has all of them.
Yeah. And I believe it's like the current they call them Odenson, which is Thor. Yeah. But it's not, he's not Thor.
Thor is the female. Yeah. And so they have, you know, like Baldur and the other ones. That's some really, really cool things.
The exclusive, you know, did you have a list of things you wanted to run down or? Not really. Mine, the one collectible that I really want to get is. The rain set was mine.
That was going for her. Star Wars has released a, you know, they've started in with the Black series. You can find it with three and three quarter inch line, but you can also find them in a six inch line. And they're super detailed super articulated, beautiful figures, gorgeous, gorgeous figures.
San Diego Comic Con had the character of all characters from me from the 1990s novels by Timothy Zahn, the Air of the Empire series. He introduced a character named Grand Admiral Thrawn. Nice. White, beautiful white Admiral suit.
Yeah. Just super colorful. Yeah. They released him.
And I know you guys can see this, but I'm going to show a picture to Josh right here. But this is. This is him. Yeah, I remember that.
And see these things. These are, these are art pieces because what he would do is he would study another culture's art. Yeah. And from that he would learn their tactical weaknesses, the way that they think, the way that Aileen raised things.
And so, and he's just this amazing character. And they had an exclusive of them and I intend to buy him, you know, for myself before before the end of the year. As far as regular figures are concerned, I'll tell you right now what I was looking forward to is Marvel. Marvel's really kind of cashing in on the whole.
We may not be getting exactly movie characters, you know, like some of the Daredevil ones did come out and all that, but we're getting a Deadpool exclusive line. Oh, we are. Yes, this is something I did not know. Okay.
So this one here for the first time and I'm going to read this straight off screen ranspage. For the first time Deadpool will be getting his own Marvel Legends line featured alongside the Merc with the mouth R cable domino X 23 and her X force costume. That means you're going to be in the black and silver and Death Lock in his classic appearance, which I was like, holy crap. And they're also doing a back and black Deadpool, which is a version of the character that where he has the venom symbol.
Oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah. So we're getting that.
We're also getting a defenders line with the four pack set with Luke Cage Iron Fist, Daredevil and Jessica Jones. It's not from the TV series. It's just a double. Yeah.
She'll have a white costume and her purple hair and all that stuff. And it's more updated Luke Cage. So you don't get the headband in the afro. Yeah.
But those will be cool alternatives, you know, alternate figures and stuff like that. Or sometimes with those figures they do give them new hair pieces and stuff like that. Right. And so they got the Black Panther and the Avengers for the films that are coming up and Namor is getting a new one with a beard.
Black Bolt, King of the Inhumans, which is coming to ABC. It's also the first two episodes are going to be featured in iMac's theaters. They were shot on iMac's. Oh, damn.
Yes, they were shot on iMac's format. What do you mean by doing a road trip? Yes, we're going to have to do that. So the only figure that was shown for the Avengers line was Songbird and, you know, who's a member of Thunderbolts and all that stuff.
But they have, they're going with some of the 90s figures. They're going Spider-Man, Katharina, Wolverine, Iron Man, Punisher, Black Widow, Toys R Us exclusive Hydra II pack, Ghost Rider, Black Widow on motorcycles, Mr. Fantastic Human, Torch, Medusa, and 12-inch figures of Wolverine and Deadpool. Nice.
Right. So they're diving. They're going, they're really going in on it. It has Roseline as far as Marvel's concerned, but has Rose to hold Star Wars and the Transformers of course.
And so, you know, I'm sure they're going to be expanding on their lines and whatnot, seeing more classic figures come out and different things like that. But those are the ones that are along collectibles that I was interested in. Yeah, and that really covers mine too. You know, what I would love to see, and I'm sure Hot Toys or somebody will be covering this.
I'll have to take a look. I would love to see a John Wick figure. I would love to see a highly articulated John Wick. Well, we're supposed to be getting more of a universe with John Wick like we're going to have books.
Well, you guys get into the comic books. There's one more film coming soon. There's a TV series in the works. And also too, this character known as the ballerina is going to go in the movie.
Okay. Yeah. So they're doubling down. They want to, I'm freaking love this world.
So more going like the better. Yeah. And so, you know, we'll have to see what's going on in the horizon as far as films. They didn't talk too much.
You know, Marvel kind of keeps it close to the chest when it comes to anything that's not revealed to D23 or anything like that. You know, just like I said, a D23 and they touched on it a bit at Comic Con. They expanded on the new Star Wars world. It's coming and the, did you hear about the hotel?
Oh God, yes. Sweet Jesus. I'm going to go to Florida now. The swell in your pants is outrageous.
I think that's reason you're not wearing pants. You're just don't want to be discomfort. I will sum it up simply like this. Okay.
Orlando is going to get an immersive hotel. When I say immersive, it's a massive check in. Everything on the inside gives you the appearance that you're on a starship is basically what I want to, I've always wanted to do the James Bond experience. They do this over in Europe where you can go and they basically, it's a huge kind of thing.
They have the man on you too little. Kind of. What they do is they bring you in and they, you become below seven and you have to, you know, track people down and talk and do it and do it. Yeah.
And you leave me to drive and ask. So that being said, the Star Wars one. Go to the hotel. You check in.
You're given a scenario basically. Yeah. Your room comes with your whole window looks like you're looking. Yeah.
You don't see the sun. No, you get stars. You're basically on a starship and you have to take care of something either for the new, new order or the resistance, whatever it might be that's on there. I wonder if you get the shoes or they get the.
I'm not for sure. I'm sure you probably have a choice. You like you have a choice or it's basically like to give you randomly unless you pay a certain package. Right.
So you want to be evil, but you don't walk around in your day to day clothes. Yeah. They give you outfits that are indicative of the stuff. It's so cool.
So it's completely immersive. I can't wait to see this happen. We've been dancing around with theaters like the ones that we have here in LA that give you the full experience where you smell like Burnt Rubber whenever there's a car that peels out or smoke or whatever it might be. So to have this happen, I can't wait.
It's going to be awesome. Yeah. So enough with that. I think it's time to jump in the trailers.
Okay. Where do you want to lead off? I'm going to let you still jump in with us. Honestly, I think the best way to jump into this year is basically from the trailer we got last year.
Okay. So I think when they just barely started production on Justice League, they shocked everybody at last year's Comic Con with a trailer, a full blown trailer. Not just like, oh, we're doing this and this. No, it was a trailer.
And we got one this year for Justice League where it's the third trailer released. So it was honestly the way I felt it was a little anti-climatic in a way because we've already seen so much stuff already. Right. And it's kind of, for me, it's like when you get to the trailer so many times you get to the point where you're like, it's coming to the damn movie.
Well, yeah. But then also too, I'm not taking away the fact of certain things that happened in the trailer. Sure. Because it's still like, oh my god, I want this movie.
You know, they kind of expand a little bit on some of the action scenes. We saw a few things that we didn't want to do. But also too, one key thing I really want to point out, who is the first person we see this trailer? One one, right?
Yeah. Yeah. It kind of shows like, this is our girl right now. So here you go.
Well, she's such, you know, they're striking one of the irons hot. It's really smart. It's smart. It's smart.
Now whether they chose to lead with her based off of the success of that, I don't know. There was a couple of key moments with Flash that made me kind of go, all right. Yeah. You know, I like him.
I'll watch him. I've never finally got the ball rolling with him. I want to give him a chance because he seems funny. He seems like he's great.
Well, they did announce that the con to that the Flash movie is going to be Flash one. Oh, man. We just covered this on Flash. She's in four just a rap Flash point.
But honestly, with all the issues and everything they've been having with getting this movie going, I think Flash one may be the best way to go. The problem is this Flash point. Well, okay. And that's fine.
Well, it's fine. You can tell me I'm a fucking idiot. No, no, no. There was a stop you before.
It's true. It's true. But because I'm a die heart of Grant Gusson series on, you know, on the, we call it the WB, but it should, you know, the CWB, I should say. It should be called the DC.
The CWB. So it's, you know, I love everything that they're doing. They've done nothing wrong all the time. That was always been the first.
On the TV series, you know, the season four Flash was probably my favorite so far. It intrigued so many characters. We got our first crossover with everybody. Arrowed, Supergirl, the whole nine yards.
And at one point, you see Martian Manhunter. I mean, it's just unreal. We've seen Superman on Supergirl. So it's hard for me to get behind the hall of Justice, I think.
But I will tell you this. I was a little skeptical about Steppenwolf. That's the villain. He's one of Darkseid's generals.
