Cool Thing My Girlfriend Got Me

Checkout this cool little edible miniature hamburger kit my girlfriend got for us to make, she showed me a Youtube video over a week ago showing how to make these, and I thought it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen, then a week later two kits showed up in the mail. I have never seen or heard of anything like this before, each set come with six pouches of powdered ingredients, a tray that can be cut up in to three stations and a tool, a small little cup, a mixing spoon, and a cutting knife.You cut the fries bag, flags, and cup label off the foil package all the components come in, which then turns in to the dining mat to set the finished food on. 

When all the ingredients are mixed, quickly microwaved, and properly proportioned out you ended with with two mini double cheeseburgers, a mini bag of fries, extremely small bubbling soda, and even ketchup to put on the burgers and dip your fries in. What blew me away the most was not only did all the powdered ingredients smell like each actual food item, but when done they really tasted like cheeseburgers, french fries, ketchup, and soda, granted cold cheeseburgers, and fries, and the soda and ketchup were a little too sweet. These are great not just for kids but the kids in all of us, it was fun to make and tasted great, you can get these off Amazon marketplace as cheap as $3 bucks before shipping, I highly recommend getting these, they're great fun.

Real Grade Gundam Mk.II Update

A Real Grade model kit is definitely far more meticulous then a normal High Grade, almost like building a downsized Master Grade with constructing the inner skeletal framework first, then adding other internal components on to the frame before placing the outer armor on top on of all that. As pictured I've got his entire lower body and central torso completed, left to do is to armor up his arms and construct his head, backpack, and weapons. When 100% done I will do a full review showing all this Real Grade's cool features that set him apart from standard High Grade kits. 

Marvel Legends Ghost Rider II (Modern) Review

Danny Ketch was the Ghost Rider of the 90's, he is my Ghost Rider, Ghost Rider comics are my second largest collection under all the various X-Men titles. I never got the original Toy Biz Ketch Ghost Rider, so I'm finally glad to have the second Ghost Rider in figure form, even though he's not in his 90's leathers. You may notice this Ghost Rider has a blue flamed head instead more the commonly known orange flames, this is Ghost Rider re-powered and in service of the Archangel Zadkiel who revealed the powers of the Spirits of Vengeance actually come from Heaven not Hell.

The core of the figure is reused from Marvel Legends two-pack Ronin, but you can barely tell with the new flaming and spiked shoulder padded jacket slip over, hip armor, new lower forearms and hands, new lower legs and boots, and the awesomely sculpted and painted head with wicked translucent blue plastic flames that makes this figure a stand out must have. The jacket doesn't hinder his articulation to much, his arms can't be placed directly at his sides, it keeps them out at an angle, and for the ab-crunch he can lean forward but not backwards cause of the jacket coat tails. Major props to Hasbro for the paint applications on his shoulder pads, gauntlets, knee pads, and shin guards, they're molded in black but then brushed with silvery gray giving them a great aged battle worn look to the armor pieces, but it's the blue paint airbrushed on the skull that incredibly gives the illusion of it being covered in blue flames that seals the figure as action figure badassery.

Sadly GR doesn't come with any accessories, I had to borrow a chain from a movie Ghost Rider figure for the above pic, it would of been cool if he came with a real metal chain with a hook on the end, but he does come with both arms of the build-a-figure Terrax. It does suck he doesn't come with a bike to sit on like the GR figures from the glorious Toy Biz days, perhaps one day we'll get an all Ghost Rider Marvel Legends series with a build-a-motorcycle, now that would be fricking sweet Hasbro. Return of Marvel Legends Series 1 Ghost Rider has a variant with orange flames, which he has appeared as in this costume, but I think the blue fits this costume better and is more eye catching and helps distinguish Danny Ketch from his brother's flaming visage.
