The Weekly Static s01e23: Watchmen, Rockwell, Doherty and More!

Welcome back! It’s The Weekly Static, so that’s what you call us. That or – uh – “His Weekness”, or – uh – “Weeker,” or “El Weekerino,” if you’re not into the whole brevity thing. But first? I need you to look me in the eye and put your hands on top of the table – nice and slow-like – just so I can see ’em. Don’t make me have to go for my…

The Weekly Static is our righteously desperate-yet-endearing look at the past week in the land of the networks, cable, streaming, smoke signals, cloud formations, and shadow puppets from what an interesting, unique and entertaining perspective. At least that’s how it reads on paper, so let’s see how this goes… So what exactly is the moral of this little story? It’s pretty simple:

● Offer a blunt, honest perspective on a handful of random TV news posts from the past week that also highlights your relentless team of news-thirsty Bleeding Cool writers and the quality work they do. My views are my views and not a reflection of the opinions of those who wrote the article. Translation? I own what I say 110%.

● Spotlight a news item we missed, but we’re pretty damn sure you’ll find it interesting.

● Feed my voracious ego with copious amounts of praise, adulation, social media shares, pizza, Superman Funkos, Eisner Awards, write-in votes for the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election (still not letting that one go) and a lifetime supply of Little Debbie chocolate pudding pies (because they’re that damn good).

History Sets Global Soccer Programming Extravaganza in Run-Up to World Cup (EXCLUSIVE)

“The History channel is capitalizing on the global appeal of soccer with ‘History of Football,’ two weeks of worldwide and localized programming celebrating the beautiful game in the run-up to this year’s World Cup. It’s the channel’s biggest-ever programming initiative.

David Villa – a World Cup winner with Spain and former Barcelona player – will feature in some of the original programming and will also serve as global ambassador for the event, promoting it to his 28 million social media followers. Considered a student of the game, the Spanish former player said of ‘History of Football’: ‘It gives my fellow players, coaches, and myself an opportunity to talk about what the game means to us and also to relive so many incredible memories.’”

Jurassic Park Funko Pops Roar Into Our Lives… Including Sexy Jeff Goldblum

Jurassic Park is coming to Funko. Hitting stores in February will be a big first wave of Funko Pops based on first film in the series. And yes, there are dinosaurs. One note: this initial announcement does NOT have the Dr. Ellie Sattler Pop, as she is being included in a Pop Ride of the Jurassic Park jeep and will be shown off at a later time (although if you search hard enough you may find it).

Let’s take a look first at the dinos. It must have been hard to limit themselves to only three from the start, but it would be hard to argue that they didn’t choose correctly. Even the chase Dilophosaurus makes perfect sense. The thing that does not make sense: why wouldn’t you make the T-Rex a deluxe-sized Pop? This is the reason you have that scale — for figures like that one. That is a huge missed opportunity. Other than that, these are great sculpts, and as long as the paint aps hold up, they will be awesome additions to the collection.

The human figures are all home runs. John Hammond, especially, is just so perfect. Now that there is a Nedry Pop, can we get Seinfeld, too? Those are high on my wants list. Ian Malcom is going to be the most popular for sure, but I am not quite sure if this is the version people will want…

When they can get sexy injured Jeff Goldblum! He may be the best Pop ever, and that is going to be an insanely difficult Pop to find, especially since it is a Target exclusive. To date, I have only found two target exclusives in stores ever, so they better get their s@#! together before this hits stores. Also coming as an exclusive to Entertainment Earth is a Nedry and Dilophosaurus two pack from when he is attacked.

These hit stores and such in February. You can preorder them here now.

Disney Pint Size Heroes and Star Wars Pop Three Pack Are Coming From Funko

Disney and Star Wars seem to have new Funko products announced constantly. Today is no different, as Disney characters come to life in a new wave of Pint Size Heroes, and the Death Star crew gets time to shine in a brand new Pop three pack.

First we will look at the Walmart exclusive Death Star crew Pop three pack. All three sculpts are great, with the gunner and trooper especially turning out great. Somehow the officer comes off as smug, it must have something to do with the eyebrows. Out of the three I love the gunner the most. That is also one of my favorite Kenner figures as well, so any love given to that character is going to have my attention. This will be hitting shelves in February.

 

Disney is getting its second wave of Pint Size Heroes. As far as I can remember, they are the first ones to get a second wave of these. They all look awesome, particularly the Wall E and Monsters Inc. figures. It is a really great mix of more modern Disney favorite alongside classics like Peter Pan and Dumbo. As far as exclusives go, Toys R Us is where you can find Baymax in both regular and armored versions, along with Hiro from Big Hero 6. At Hot Topic you will find Lilo and Stitch from that film, along with Scrump. These will be in stores in March.

You can preorder the non-exclusive Disney Pint Size Heroes here.

Black Panther Figures Should All Be This Cool: Looking at the New Walmart Exclusive

Black Panther is everywhere right now, especially in the toy aisle. Funko Pops, role-play items, and action figures. There’s a little bit of everything right now. We already took a look at the wave of Hasbro Marvel Legends that started hitting stores at the beginning of the month, and now we will take a look at a unique figure hitting exclusively Walmart.

The figure comes in the standard Marvel Legends packaging that has been around for years now. Big window box, showing off the figure and accessories. Cool key art related to the figure on the sides, big picture of the figure on the back. Behind the figure is a big Black Panther logo. The description on the back of the box reads:

T’Challa wears a glowing suit made with Vibranium technology as the warrior hero Black Panther.

The figure itself is a comic-based look for Black Panther, with the energy suit from the current run of comics. It has quite the striking look to it. From the pictures I had seen before, the markings on the suit looked pink, but in reality they are more purple. Nevertheless, it looks awesome. It really adds a uniqueness to the third Black Panther figure on shelves right now.

Both head sculpts are great, as well, although the energy suit one with the yellow eyes is the better of the two. My one complaint about this figure is that the heads are hard to get back on once taken off, especially the regular head. His necklace can go over his head, however, so it is easy to remove.

This is one of the easiest figures to pose I have ever gotten my hands on. If you want to keep the energy blasts on his hands, though, lift them level or higher. Otherwise, they’ll fall right off. While I’m thinking of it, this is the 1,725th figure (all numbers approximate) to come with these energy blasts. I’m getting a little tired of them.

All in all, however, this is a damn near perfect figure. It is by far my favorite Panther figure and will become the go-to figure for my displays. The figure has such a cool look, is perfectly articulated, and is just one of the better-looking figures and exclusives you will see.

If you would like one, they should be in Walmart stores now. Or, you could keep an eye here for when it goes up for order.
