'Tis the season, for reruns!

Man, I didn't even get my Christmas figures out this year! But, there weren't new Star Wars Black Holiday figures this year, either. (Well, I think there was an ugly Halloween two-pack?) That did free up like a hundred and some bucks that I probably squandered on something else.

I mentioned McFarlane's assorted Bat-Santas last year, but I don't recall seeing them in stores: there might be more kid-friendly 12 inch ones as well. Maybe they'll turn up on Boxing Day.

And, like I keep grousing every year, Hasbro continues to leave money on the table, by not putting out a Santa Punisher figure! Oh, man, I'd be so mad if they did but it was the new Punisher...

Old Christmas re-runs after the break, and tomorrow, "The End" Week starts: another pile of last issues; although just about everything gets relaunched at some point. And the year-ender is coming! My totals...yow. It's always super-fun, except for the math part! Merry Christmas, everyone! All the best.

It's not a perennial holiday classic...yet; but I rerun this one every Christmas: "How Deadpool saved assisted didn't wreck had Christmas." See how our production standards have barely incrementally changed in like eleven years! Although, Die Hard wasn't universally accepted as a Christmas movie back then, as it is today.

As usual, click to unwrap, er, enlarge. Not sure of the setup? The first strip's waaaay back here.





What the heck, you've been good this year...he says, based on nothing; so let's have another holiday re-run: "Jingle Bells, Blame Mattel..."

And for good measure, here's the 2015 Christmas strip, "Do They Know It's X-Mas Time at All?" Pool and Kurt had been in space for about 21 months at that point, so yeah, that plotline went on.

Sigh. Maybe next year, Santa Punisher figure.

I've had my holiday display up for a bit, but I know a couple of figures have knocked over each other since then. 'Tis the season!

No proper Christmas strip this year; partly because I'm a grump, partly because it never occurs to me to order a Santa figure in April or something. There's more and more options, including some Bat-Santas from McFarlane; but sadly no Santa Punisher yet. Ugh, if that's not one for HasLabs, I don't know what is.

I also don't know how many years Hasbro is gonna do Star Wars Black Holiday figures--okay, that's "Star Wars Black" "Holiday" figures; not "Star Wars" "Black Holiday" figures. That'd either be Kwanzaa, or sounds like a Depeche Mode song! Anyway, I dunno how long Hasbro's going to keep doing those; or how long I'll keep getting them.
