My fourth and probably final Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things toy was VC287, which was the Demogorgon pencil topper aka pencil accessory. You could probably also put on your straw and a tiny rubber band is also included. This might be the only Demogorgon toy I will ever get.
I'm not sure why there is a rectrangle hole in the back of this Demogorgon head:
Just because The Boys is over on Amazon Prime doesn't mean that you can't still enjoy wearing them. Check out this cool group photo t-shirt of the Boys:
There is also a cool t-shirt featuring the Seven from the tv series:

My third Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things toy was VC265, which is Max Mayfield with headphones. She is wearing a brown hoodie, blue pants and brown footwear with blue bottoms. In her left hand, she is holding a Walkman. Her ginger hair has two braids.
My second Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things toy was VC286, which is Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley captured. The figurines are tied together and wearing their Scoops Ahoy sailor-style uniforms. It's actually a pencil accessory but you can probably also put it on a straw.
The Funko Stranger Things Kinder Joy eggs have finally hit the local Dillons store in Kansas. I picked up four of them last Saturday morning.
Funko Stranger Things Kinder Joy VC273 is Lucas in his basketball uniform. Side A of the insert shows how to assemble the toy.
Side B of the insert showcases several of the hanging figurines plus a QR code that leads you to the Upside Down game (No, I haven't played it yet).
The Lucas Sinclair figurine features him in his white with green trim basketball uniform and white shoes. He is holding a basketball and there is an "8" on the back of his jersey. Lucas stands about 1 1/2" tall. The picture doesn't do him justice but he's pretty cool for a sports figurine.
IDW Publishing released Star Trek: Starfleet Academy -- Lost Contact #1 earlier this week. This mini-series is based on the Paramount+ original tv series. Here is the official summary:
"Caleb, Genesis, Jay-Den, Kyle, and Tarima are all students of Starfleet Academy, the illustrious school responsible for the Federation’s best. One day, they dream to serve as great leaders on board ships of their own, to study the cultural intricacies of sentient life amongst the Galaxy, or to go where no person has explored before. But today, their mission is simply to execute a survey simulation on a lifeless, low-oxygen planet. Or at least, it seems simple… until a huge storm cuts off their contact with their teachers aboard the Athena… and something impossible appears: an alien. Now, they’ll have to work together and use everything they’ve learned in class about first contact to make it off the planet alive!"
I've been enjoying watching Invincible series on Amazon Prime lately. The last few episodes have been very bloody. I found this cool Invincible Flying t-shirt at Amazon. You can choose from a variety of colors from black to white. Sizes are available for men and women from small to 6x.

Another legend passes for Chuck Norris, action icon and "Walker, Texas Ranger" star, dies at age 86. I remember going to the local drive-in in the 1970s to see Circle of Iron and Chuck Norris in Breaker! Breaker!, which was his first lead role. Of course, I became and fan and watching all of his movies that I could. I was super excited when he became Walker, Texas Ranger on tv and I tried to never miss an episode (I still catch a few reruns every once in a while).
IDW Publishing released Star Trek Deviations: Threads of Destiny #1 today. The cover features Uhura as played by Nichelle Nicols on the original tv series. The story is a great read for Black History Month and this week's Women Wednesday. There is a very special guest star that appears in the story too. Here is the official summary:
"This special one-shot features Lieutenant Nyota Uhura. In the 23rd century, she explores far-flung star systems with her crew on the Enterprise as part of her mission to communicate and build bridges with life found across the Galaxy. But in the 20th century, humankind was working to build understanding among themselves, with African Americans on Earth championing the Civil Rights Movement and using their voices and acts of protest to end racial segregation and discrimination. Now, by way of the Guardian of Forever, Uhura is yanked back through time to 1963. There, she’ll join all those fighting for equality and justice and reconnect to why her work as a communications officer is perhaps the most important work of all."
No, I haven't watched the fantasy tv series yet on HBO or HBO Max even though I know that it's based on the book by George R. R. Martin. I heard that it has more humor in it than Game of Thrones did. You can get the A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Hardcover Book at Amazon.

Seems fitting that I spotlight this Tiffany Valentine Funko Pop at Amazon for this week's Women Wednesday post. The deadly doll is dressed in red and holding a heart-shaped box. I doubt there are chocolates in that box.

This week's Toy Tuesday post spotlights Chucky Valentine Funko Pop at Amazon. The possessed doll from the horror movie, Child's Play, is dressed in red and black while holding his favorite hatchet. This would make a great gift for your loved one this Valentine's Day.

Dynamite Entertainment rleased Supernatural Valentine's Day Special 2026 ealier this week. Here is the offical summary:
"LOVE IS STRONGER THAN DEATH — AND JUST AS TERRIFYING! Sam and Dean Winchester know a thing or two about love and loss. After all, they've abandoned any pretense of a normal life and hit the road to hunt down the entity that took the lives of two of their loved ones. So if anyone can understand the kind of heartache that would cause a person to turn to demonic forces in order to bring someone back from the dead, it's the brothers Winchester. But just because something is understandable doesn't make it advisable — and it certainly doesn't make it safe! In fact, you can pretty much count on things going wrong in unexpectedly spectacular ways when you meddle with the fundamental forces of mortality. In this case, trying to command a minor minion of the underworld has resulted in the summoning of an ancient and uncontrollable goddess of desire. The rampage that ensues embodies the true power of love — and only Sam and Dean can stop it!"
Every fantasy gamer and Stranger Things fan should have this cool Dungeons & Dragons Strike the Beholder T-shirt at Amazon. The fabric comes in the following colors: black, navy blue, asphalt grey, brown and dark heather grey. Sizes are available for men, men's big and tall, women, women's plus and youths. This is an official licensed Dungons & Dragons t-shirt.

IDW Publishing released Star Trek: Lower Decks #15 earlier this week. Brad Boimler is on the cover along with "Star Trek 60". I will admit that this is the first issue of this series that I have read but I greatly enjoyed the humor. I also have to admit that I have yet to watch the animated tv series on Paramount+. Here's the official summary:
"When Commander Jack Ransom promised Boimler command of the away team on Laapoonia in the event that both he and Sun-Sanchez — his Number One — were taken out of commission, he didn’t think it’d, like, actually happen. But now, Boimler is in charge, and things have gone full-blown Crisis Royale: A planet’s missing population, a big-ass alien warship, and a team at each other’s throats threaten to explosively end the Cerritos’ second-contact mission with Laapeeria. The name’s Boimler. Brad Boimler. And he’s got a license to… mildly delegate while panicking under pressure."
Today is the premier of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy on Paramount+ so it seems appropriate to showcase this Star Trek: Starfleet Academy T-shirt at Amazon. You can choose from heather gray (shown below) for men or pink heather for women. Sizes range from small to 6X.

I'm caught up with Fallout on Amazon Prime and the Ghoul is still my favorite character on the show. I found this cool The Ghoul from Fallout t-shirt at Amazon. If you haven't watched the show yet, then I highly recommend that you do because it combines horror and science fiction. He is based on the video game series and not the comic series from IDW.

I broke down and got the Grinch Meal from McDonald's last week to celebrate How the Grinch Stole Christmas book and animated tv special. I got the green socks with the Grinch while my sister got the blue ones with Max. I thought the pickle shaker fries were pretty good, but my sister didn't use the seasoning since she's not a big pickle fan. She won't even let me hide a pickle on the Christmas tree.
The green Grinch socks both has "The Grinch was here - Grinch" printed on the bottom. There are small headshots of Cindy Lou and Max the dog along with a big headshot of the Grinch. There is also a red Christmas ornament with the famous McDonald's Golden Arches logo. I don't plan on wearing them and there is nothing that says what size they are.
Sorry, that I didn't get any pictures of the Big Mac, French fries and pickle seasoning but I couldn't wait and had to eat them.
I also picked up this Hot Wheels Batman 5-pack 2926 last week as an early Christmas present to myself. I found it at the local Walmart's and it was the only one so I had to grab it before it was gone. The diecast vehicles include the Batmobile from the 1989 Batman movie, Gotham City Police Department SWAT Armored Truck, Killer Croc 70s Van, Catwoman Blvd Bruiser and the Batplane from tv's Batman: Animated Series. This makes my eighth Batman 5-pack.
This week's T-shirt Thursday spotlight is the Stranger Things Hellfire Club Holiday T-shirt that features a demon wearing Santa's hat. The Hellfire Club is the high school's Dungeons & Dragon's club on the Netflix series. While there was a gentlemen's club in the 18th Century with the same name, Marvel's Hellfire Club debuted in The Uncanny X-Men #129 (January 1980). You can purchase a Stranger Things Hellfire Club Holiday T-shirt at Amazon here. (This is a sponsored post).
