The english version of Patapon finally came out over the weekend, it makes SO much more sense now I actually understand what the little eyeballs are saying. It's a bit of a drag replaying the front, since I went through them on the JP version already, but it's interesting to see what they're actually saying.
I went back to CC to pick up the Legends Bumblebee vs. Scorponok two pack ($17.90) on Sunday, after visiting the Madhouse sale AGAIN, and finding another Lightsaber ($8)! The two little figures aren't bad, Bbee is a little boring, pretty much a Micromaster, but Scorponok's really quite articulated and detailed for a two inch tall toy. I have placed him on Megatron's shoulder as his loyal pet, muahaha.
Yesterday, I picked up the latest KR Kids (Kiva arrives!) ($19.80) as well as the Leia Boussh and Han Carbonite Galactic Heroes ($10) set from another CC branch which had a better paint job. I really like the little buggers (both the KR Kids and GH), pity I don't have the space to display them.
Also finally watched Sweeney Todd today after a meeting, it should have won an Oscar for most gratuitous use of Fake Blood in a musical, SERIOUSLY. Not a bad watch, the visuals were beautiful (somehow London during the 18th century is always dark and gloomy), the music wasn't bad (Depp's voice is a bit low, Helena Bonham Carter's a bit flat) and the story was really pretty interesting. Surprise twist at the end, and ultimately, the musical is meant to be a tragedy. Would be interesting to see a staged version of this : )
