The first crazy is the time Doctor Doom became Santa. In the comic from Marvel’s old “What The-?!” series Santa lands at a certain Laverian castle. Santa even manages to battle through many of the evil Doctor’s defenses – you know, so he can deliver a present – but is fatally injured on the way. […]
Christopher Lee releases heavy metal Christmas single

This year his Christmas metal single is a cover of “Hark! The Herald Angel Sings” and is called “Darkest Carols, Faithful Sing”. You can grab […]
This Godzilla Christmas tree wishes you festive grrreatings
Imagine how many fairy lights it would take to decorate one life-sized Godzilla? Let’s use the last feature film as our ideal of scale.

Do you remember the Sphero? It was a ball that combined with a robot. The result? A ball you could control like a robot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne2IOSdXvMQ The Ollie, unlike Sphero, is a tube. This gives it very different maneuverability. The Sphero company clearly have this one pegged as a more ruggard and perhaps outdoor toy. That […]

Only Leigh – A Very Fangirl Christmas
I’m impress at the speed at which Leigh Lahav is able to animate. Fangirls seems to be going from strength to strength. This Jingle Bells variant, for example, went live on the 16th and has already racked up some 160,000 views. What do you think? Is this a budding animation empire in the making?
