Bronies before Hoenies

I have no idea how I know about, or even LIKE My Little Pony, having never seen the cartoon and not grown up with it. But I do know I have the internets to thank for turning them into a lulzworthy meme and series of macros. I stumbled across these My Little Pony figures (from someone else’s blog which I cant remember), and checked out the creator Mari Kasurinen‘s site (where you can drop some cool coins to acquire some if you like them). These are really awesome and highly reminiscent of kidrobot‘s figures and other vinyl toy artist-customisable figures!!

Jonny Quest Stop Motion Opening

I haven’t actually seen an episode before (probably because it was made back in the 60s…). After seeing this though it looks like it could be right sown my alley… Bros being alpha bros blowing shit up, mummies, guns, dinosaurs, alien mechs, all tied together to a cheeseball action jazz soundtrack. Anyway, check it as it’s an awesome example of the craft that is stop motion animation.

Check out Roger Evans’ site HERE to see a detailed breakdown of the production of this sequence. Sweet, sweet dioramas!

Oh and for the sake of comparison, the original 1960s opening sequence here after the jump.

If there was ever a sign for me to get a BMX, this would be it. Photo is by Chris McVeigh and you can see more of his works HERE.

To continue the salivation over Medicom’s Bearbrick toy range… here is the merging of two very awesome collectibles that makes me has DO WANT!!!! And I don’t even have any Bearbricks!! There’s just something about the combination of cool icon x highly detailed embroidery x New Era that makes WANT. If you know anybody who lives in Japan… have them purchase ALL of these hats for you IMMEDIATELY.
