Tomopopular Opinion: Commercial break photo

Happy Thursday, folks! I managed to throw together yet another episode of Tomopopular Opinion for you guys, this time I'm making light of the recent Tomocast Episode 10. You haven't listened to it yet? Shame! You're missing out on some incredible hilarity which is semi-explained in the comic above. Just a note though, I wasn't there during the recording, so I don't actually know if Colette went all Bill O' Reilly on Jason's backside, but I like to imagine she did. Furious Colette makes for good times. 

Also, the episode's got Stella Wong in it. Stella Wong? Awesome. 

To be fair, I like Heroclix, I was just looking for something I think a toy reviewer would feel behooved to review. Can you guys think of any toys you'd hate to be resigned to reviewing for the rest of eternity? Answers in the comments, I'm dying to know (I'm not, really, I've just got nothing to write about for next week's comic yet).

Taki figures, I would have to shoot myself if I had to review those things for the rest of my life.
Sqee-ness! Best birthday present ever!
Also, reviewing Mattel figures would be hell, because you'd have to murder 6 people a month just to get your hands on one.
Sure, Heroclix can be somewhat ugly at times (the smaller pieces, anyway...), but they double as game pieces so it's not all that bad...

There are a lot of lines I really wouldn't want to touch, but I think the absolute worst would probably be the Jakks UFC line. The sculpts are so incredibly bland and the joint-work is hideous.

The old Marvel Universe stuff was equally annoying. Basically every figure used either the "elf" or "dwarf" body type (well, upper & lower torso configuration), both of which were designs I completely hated. It wasn't up until recently that they started coming out with better sculpts although they still recycle their tried & true crap for figures in newer waves as seen as recently as Archangel. Plus the female sculpts have generally been awful.

The DCIH series is also incredibly bland, but I think it'll get discont'd one of these days. JLU figures I would absolutely never want to collect, since they're just not my thing and I've never been down with that style (frankly, the most impressive recent limited articulation DC series has been the Imaginext DC Superfriends line although the paint can be sloppy).

Then again, even stuff like Revoltechs I wouldn't want to have to only review for the rest of my life. After a while I can imagine any series gets monotonous...
I love how angry I am in every comic. It's like I'm a total tyrant :D
Art imitates life, eh? ;)
hahaha Colette is the next Bill O'Reilly. justinTV live cast would be awesome
i love it!!
