    The alien is a Krogan named Grunt from the Mass Effect series, and they’re a pain in the ass to get a hold of. I got mine when the line launched, then product dried up and now they go for ten times retail price.

    The shark doggo is a little cutie named Jeff from Marvel comics.

    Oooooh, but what flavor, though?
    I like cherry.
    You guys are making me wanna do more of these, the food ones seem to get the best reception. I was thinking of turning Tidy Trunksky into a fridge, or THE Fridge.

    I'm reminded of Billy the Theme Park Shark: "Looks just like a killer but he's too well fed!"

    Not sure that kinda critter socializes as well as a raptor... then again, that may not be a good thing for Blue given my mother and her beloved Hallmark Channel's toxic influence. LOL

    Unfortunately, with her addled, media-addicted brain she "has to" have the TV on 24/7, and if it's not one of a handful of movies she obsesses with it's back to her ultrasoftcore-porn addiction with its cardboard-cutout actors and set-a-watch-by so-called "storylines" obviously developed from the same "fill-in-the-blanks" method as a Mad Libs book. Right now I'd like to go hunt down whoever coined the phrase "Christmas in July," and put them in a sensory deprivation chamber with nothing but Hallmark Christmas movies 24/7 until they break... Gladiator is a blight on Roman history in media, but at least it's a break.

    Like Strafe already said that's Jeff the baby landshark. He's from the marvel legends line, think he came with Shiklah....don't ask me what waves she's in.

    You mean Jeff the little badass cutie. Seriously how many babies do you know that fought the X-men including Storm and Wolverine AND managed to best them. EH EH!

    Yeah... blame one of my frat brothers. When we were roadtripping, *my* playlist was film scores, his was more Bob Rivers, Dr. Demento and Weird Al including that little 'gem.'*snort* Something's not right in the guy's head... LOL

    Yep, he's the only Marvel Legends figure I want (quickly remembers the Squirrel Girl and Tippy Toes figure set s-l400 (1).jpg )

    So the next Target reset is in August right? What are the odds that we finally see some new Botbots?

    I would say considerably high, given how much Cyberverse stuff is coming very shortly that we have no idea what it looks like, we only have the assortment listing. August is the logical reset date for Botbots, the next reset is usually October/November, that's too close to the holidays methinks.

    I'm not super great at writing bios, so my awesome wife who actually writes stuff took a stab at conjuring up some personalities for my OC Botbots:

    She literally just applied your personality and hers to these Botbots, didn't she?

    Okay, I really am transparent. I accused her of this and she shrugged. “Write what you know.”

    She also named my Mountain Dew Botbot “Dewfus”, so I’m flying high at the moment.
