  • MCP: Unboxing Rocket & Groot

    Posted on June 19, 2020 7:00 am by gdaybloke Comment

    When we talk about some of the more endearing characters from modern cinema, the odd couple that is Rocket & Groot are high on pretty much every MCU fan’s list. On the one hand we have an enormous, sentient tree, perhaps something of a simpleton, with a pure heart, who’ll do anything to safeguard his friends. On the other, we have a diminutive, acerbic, bio-engineered heavy weapons expert who refuses to acknowledge just how much he cares, unless you’re asking how much he likes high explosives. Their Marvel: Crisis Protocol models have been available for awhile, but they deserve their place in the spotlight as much as anyone else, so today we’re doing a little unboxing.

    I’ll confess, I didn’t know a whole lot about Rocket and Groot until Marvel’s 2006 Annihilation event, when they brought Star-Lord back to lead a team of specialists, almost suicide-squad-esque, as the powers that be tried to fight back against the Annihilation Wave that was tearing its way across the galaxy. Rocket and Groot were recruited as a duo once Rocket’s affinity for heavy weapons was uncovered, and Groot essentially served as the mobile weapon platform for which Rocket was the gunner. As with their MCU depiction, they were a highly effective team.

    Drax, Gamora and Ronan all had time in the spotlight during Annihilation and the subsequent Annihilation: Conquest, as did Mantis. I heartily recommend reading both series if you get the opportunity.

  • FanExpo Canada Photodump1: Assorted Nifty

    Posted on September 2, 2014 7:00 am by gdaybloke 1 Comment

    As if the recent posts from GenCon weren’t enough (and I’m still not done with the product reviews et al), this last weekend saw PAX, NOVA and DragonCon appeasing the inner geek in all of us. Oh, and in the magical far off land of Toronto, Canada, there was a little ole’ thing called Fan Expo. It just happens to be Canada’s biggest Comic/SciFi/Anime/Horror/Gaming convention, and I usually like to attend if I’m able.

    This year was something special because for the first time I was taking the Gdaykids with me. What this means for YOU, dear Losties, is that Gdayboy and Gdaygirl show up in a lot of the pics in the photodumps. They’re my progeny and I wub them, and it was neat to watch them get their geek on. Oh, yes, I said photodumps, plural. Today you get general convention experience and neat things seen, tomorrow you get pics of cosplayers.

    Enjoy!
