explaining percy pig to non-brits

Alyson — 17:17
imagine an adorable cartoon pig made from the mosty delicious candy ever. its eyes are gumdrops. its flesh is marshmallow. its organs are gourmet chocolate.
now imagine eating its hard, slightly indigestible feet
that’s Percy Pig

I think it's funnier that someone got this signed by the original Turtles.

the ad from above, but signed by Renee Jacobs (April O'Neil, with a "guess not...", Barry Gordon (Donatello, with a "YEAH RIGHT!"), Townsend Coleman (Michelangelo, with a "Still here!"), Rob Paulsen (Raphael) and Cam Clarke (Leonardo, with a "Crystal Ball, anyone?")

The error's not coming off the phone number box, is it? I've had that before - you have to manually select a country for it from a dropdown but the UI design sucks and it's not clear you have to do that.

Oh shit, I missed this! Boom picked up the Jem licence and are doing a Kickstarter for a collection of the IDW run! I only ever owned that digitally, so if it's properly complete and presented nicely, I might go in on that.

As a person who was the right age in 2010 to think Tron Legacy was really cool, I *will* grab the 6" Quorra figure for old times' sake, but that's about all the franchise is gonna get out of me.

God the Tron HasLab is so funny. Has there been one that's any deader on arrival than this?
The value proposition is ridiculous - Hasbro charges £17 for a carded 3.75" guy in TVC, so they're effectively saying that the two light cycles and the display base are worth £175??

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

ZVR Undercity and Infestation Outbreak are incompatible but they both act like they're taking place in the same universe as the events of Infestation.

Doesn't this ad also contradict the actual text of ZVR Undercity? IIRC from when I went down this same rabbit hole years ago, Undercity opens with people talking like they're in the same universe as CVO and the events of Infestation, right?
