Congratulations to all those who backed the Hasbro Marvel Legends Haslab Galactus project. Despite the slow start they broke through the tiers in rapid succession and so will also be getting the Frankie Raye Nova, Silver Surfer as well as the latest announced Morg !
Everyone is watching to see if the army builder tier will be announced.
Personally it's a bit beyond my wallet so will need to be happy with my Toybiz Marvel Legends BAF Galactus and Titanium Silver Surfer.
August 28th is National Power Rangers Day. Hasbro designated this day for celebrating the Power Rangers on August 28, 2018. This year will be the 28th anniversary since they premiered in 1993.
One of the shows that not only entertained, but also promoted diversity and inclusion.
Straight from the MCU Thor Ragnarok movie and looking mean. Comes with a flaming sword and alternate hands. Now the decision needs to be made if I should take him out of his prison and unleash him on my collection.
South Africa celebrates National Women's Day on August 8th. Celebrating this with couple of Marvel's leading ladies Spider-verse Spider-Gwen and Mary Jane Watson.
Just caught Michael's video for Youtube channel RetroBlasting and it was disturbing. Seems like he has been caught up in some dispute for one of the smaller creators of Star Wars figures Smith Lord Creations. This brings to surface again the dark side of today's social media where even a small action can get snowballed into some very dark and destructive.
In summary, seems like Smith Lord Creations had taken some pre-orders for a Star Wars set and people were still waiting on these for almost 2 years. Michael had done a video on these and Smith Lord Creations as part of his Youtube channel RetroBlasting some time back, With this, it seems like a lot of people expected him to help to settle the issue with Smith Lord Creation.
This brings about the nature of social media and the inherent expectations for the people who view your content. Does making a video about someone or some entity tie you forever with them? Seems like the more influence you have in terms of followers to your channel, this seems to be the expectation, at least for some out there. It seems to be a far stretch for the imagination to tie this most tenuous link.
Personally I can't comment if any of the connections are real or true since I don't have all the facts. Based on the information, I would say that this is not a realistic expectation of anyone.
As a fellow collector and social media publisher, I would just like to extend the hand of support to Michael and all those social media publishers out there who face this challenge of unreasonable expectations. Don't let this get into your life. Keep the faith and enjoy what you do.
