Leage of Extraordinary Bloggers Post: Star Trek!

I've managed to find about 10 minutes to squeeze in a quick post for my favorite weekly feature (that I miss dearly), and this week's assignment is simply titled Star Trek.

Unfortunately, I have never been a fan of Star Trek. Despite my penchant for green women, Star Trek has never really impressed me.

The original series bored me as a kid, the Next Generation stuff was even worse (and it was crammed down my throat thanks to a Trekker roommate), and pretty much all of the movies were lame-o (although Wrath of Khan had its moments).

However, I did honestly enjoyed the latest reboot movie, and look forward to the new one. So I guess my distaste for Star Trek is 100%.

Still, I wracked my brain trying to think of something Trek-ish that I could post, and the only thing that I could come up with is a quick pic of the only remotely Star Trek related collectibles I own; my Captain Snoopy and Woodspock Funko Wacky Wobblers...


And I gotta be honest, I only have these because I'm a Peanuts fan.

But that just goes to show how powerful the legacy of Star Trek is; When a person who actively avoids and is inherently repulsed by a certain franchise and he still ends up with at least a couple of collectibles on his shelf touch by the very thing he tried to avoid. Star Trek, whether I like it or not, is everywhere.

Live Long and Prosper.

Top 5 Friday! My Top 5 Favorite Wacky Wobblers!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I'm already posting about Funko products too much. But the truth is, I had this other much more in-depth idea for this week's Top 5 Friday, but quite frankly, I've just run out of time and only have a few minutes to take some quick pics, throw them up on the blog and call it good.

But don't let the fact that I'm phoning it in this week make you think that I don't love these Wacky Wobblers to pieces. Because I do.

So here they are...

1. Mr. T - This Wacky Wobbler pities fools and don't wanna hear no jibber-jabber.


2. Sugar Bear - Not "Golden Bear" who sells Super Golden Crisp. This is Sugar Bear, who sells Sugar Crisp. I always hated that they changed the name of the cereal. That's like calling crack cocaine "Smoky Pebbles".


3. Darth Vader - I love this one because it's Darth Vader.


4. The Munsters - I have a Grandpa Munster as well, but no Marylin yet. I always wished this was my family when I was a kid.


5. The Monster Cereals - You guys probably saw this one coming, right? And yes, I do have the Yummy Mummy Wobbler, but am still missing Fruit Brute. Still, I got the three kings.


That's it for this week! I promise I'll put more work into it next week! Really. I will.
