Wolvie & Forge

Alastria found these at Toys R Us yesterday. From what we have seen the line also includes Ultimate Nick Furry and Captain America, Mr. Fantastic and Thing, and Electra and Ronin.
It is nice to actually see a new Forge toy after so many years and as an added bonus Wolverine is actually a new mold. Not just the same one retooled yet again.
Each figure also comes with another set of hands and another head. Which is great for Wolvie, as you can now "retract" his claws and put on a happy face (ok, not happy. just not fangs exposed.)
Only down side is that they both still use those stupid at an angle hip joints... You just shouldn't have to twist the leg three different directions just to lift it.

Over all these are great looking and pretty good playing toys.

A few months ago I dusted off this blog which I had not touched since 2011. The reason? I was prompted by an article written by Mike Elgan about how famed podcaster and internet host Leo Laporte was dropping social media all together. No Facebook, no Twitter, not even an Instagram. Leo retreated to the safety and security of his own blogs. A world totally under his control.

To share photos of our travels and grandpuppy with our family. The others? To read the news and to share and converse about things that I like and that matter to me. Then came the announcement that Goo...

The end of an era...

I received an email today from Blogger informing me that as of March 26th they will no longer support FTP blog publishing. My blog has been powered by Blogger since 2004 and FTPed to my hosting service. I really don't know exactly what I plan to do. This site can remain exactly as it is but I will no longer be able to update it via Blogger. For the time being I plan to move this blog over to http://batcaveweb.blogspot.com . Google supports custom domains and such but I'm not really sure I want to continue to use Blogger after this change. I will loose all of my custom sub-pages and a whole lot of customization ability. The same goes for the Istari blog. I will be moving it over to http://istariguild.blogspot.com . I may at some point use the custom domain option to redirect batcaveweb to the Blogger server but I doubt it. I will probably have to start from scratch and move to some custom content system. However, I really don't use my blog all that much these days so...
