Happy 45th Anniversary to DONKEY KONG!!!

I picked up some more old Halloween blow molds.

On the latest Purple Stuff Podcast, we're diving into a 1988 network television broadcast of Halloween III: Season of the Witch! This one is SO up our alley. Listen here: dinosaurdracula.com/blog/halloween-iii/

I love how they expanded on the story in this game.

My dog gets to bite you for every firework you set off after midnight. It’s the law.

It's time.

Guess we're back on the "every five weeks" schedule!

Trying on a vintage Garbage Pail Kids Halloween costume.

Looking forward to all the Turtley goodness going down right before my Birthday weekend!

Michael Dorn AND John de Lancie? We eatin' GOOD! #XMen97

Also, Shanghied has THREE MORE ALTERNATE ENDINGS?? WHAT?!

NEW HOUR-LONG SPONGEBOB CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!!! Also LOVING the sound of "Merry Christmas, Mr. Plankton" as a title. (Makes me think that it'll be an It's a Wonderful Life or Christmas Carol parody, which I would be 100% on board for.)

Here’s a vintage ceramic haunted house that is fully capable of changing your life for the better.

NOLAN NORTH DEADPOOL YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! (I can finally have Josh Keaton Peter and Nolan North Wade on a team again for the first time since UMvC3!!) I also LOVE his Deadpool Corps Super and the blatant reference to the Moon Knight edits with his "RANDOM BULLSHIT, GO!!" line.

FINALLY got my OTHER #DisneyMagicKingdoms holy grail and COMPLETED MY MUPPETS COLLECTION!!! (Somehow got him in just ONE chest, too! Luck AND weirdness were on my side this day!)

Varis embraces his past by restoring his original avatar! #YuGiOhDuelLinks

I am now roommates with a 42” Dracula blow mold from the 1990s.

Kite Man and the Rogues is an inspired combo.

"Sonic's 15th anniversary was uniquely considered a letdown, since the only thing Sega did was release Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis on Game Boy Advance."

This is genuinely the coolest thing they've ever done with these model kits.

Wasn't expecting more Zim comics! The Oni Press run was fantastic and felt EXACTLY like the show (chiefly because it featured a bunch of the show's writers), so here's hoping these new books continue that streak!

A live demonstration of Screaming Pumpkin Lites from the 1990s. 🤷‍♂️

35 years of Sonic the Hedgehog! #SonicTheHedgehog #MilesTailsPrower #AmyRose #KnucklesTheEchidna #Sega

Birthdays are even more special when they're shared with friends, including a true blue one like Mega Man. Check out the sweet birthday message he sent our way, all the way from Japan! youtu.be/3lQqfsu64VU

Special delivery! 🍕 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is coming to Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on July 28th, 2026!

THEY'RE HITTING THE WEEK BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY YASSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Surprise! Enjoy a brand-new song from Jun Senoue, NateWantsToBattle, @teelopes.bsky.social, and Takahiro Kai created to celebrate 35 years of Sonic: "Speed is My Life." youtu.be/pZmxxtif6tE

REALLY dig how this one is putting a lot of emphasis on its own original story and cast. After two games of correcting Dragon Ball history and not much else, it's nice to see something a bit different.

I NEED HIM!!!

Finished my DK64 NSO replay! First time getting 101%! #NintendoSwitch2 #DonkeyKong64

I have acquired the Triple Ghost Halloween blow mold from the 1990s. Today was good.

Love me some Brawl in the Family, so it's great to see Matthew on a big licensed video game project with the same vibe. I didn't support the last BitF Kickstarter (I couldn't really justify rebuying the whole series for a few new comics), but this one's definitely up my alley!

Well, here’s my giant Halloween Bat from the late ‘80s.

Also, here are the completion cards with the fancy backgrounds and minus the DK Challenge HUD. (You get these by taking a screenshot by hitting the Y button rather than taking one the usual way like I did.)

I HAVE CONQUERED THE MONKEY CHALLENGE! #NintendoSwitch2 #DonkeyKongBananza #DonkeyKongChallenge

It's about friggin' TIME that Ralph got added. Now I might need to get this.

YES! Excited to finally check these movies out and complete the OG Sgt. Frog anime in Blu-ray form! (They're hitting just a few weeks after my Birthday, too!)

ARMAGGON!!

BIG fan of Ken Mitchroney opting for designs closer to Adventures for certain characters on his cover (rather than the '87 cartoon designs they actually have in the book), especially this very happy guy:

Oooooooh, Teen Titans Go (the 2003 show tie-in comic) is getting a Compact Comics release! I REALLY hope that means that they'll actually finish collecting it this time. (Also, DC, REPRINT THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD COMICS NEXT!)

Can't wait for the Mega: CatBearRabbitThingMon.

Showing off my Halloween Spook-O-Lites from the 1960s. 🎃

That event at the end of the month seems perfectly suited to being revealed on Sonic's birthday the week before. Sonic Central incoming?

Returned to Canyon Layer for a pair of rhythmic statues! #NintendoSwitch2 #DonkeyKongBananza

Greta Gremlin has come home.

Shadow drop during a Sonic Central on Sonic's Birthday, maybe?

HOW IS THE DIRECT WHERE WE HEAR MORE ABOUT KHIV?! #NintendoDirect
