Humdinger's Cell
Kirby remembered that some time ago, he sneaked up behind me while i watched reviews of Manta Force toys; which we both developed a sense of nostalgia via osmosis for. His favourites are the Bog Rocket1, and Black Baracuda2. Which he explained with both just riding the line of acceptable grossness and body-horror.
Kirby remembering those toys came in the aftermath of a trip to one of the last remaining toy stores to get a birthday present for one of Kirby's schoolmates. While looking through the stuff, i was amazed by how much kids in Kirby's age range still like the bad made branded things, like Paw-Patrol. Yes, all of the things there are a waste of resources, that stuff however, was a waste of potential. I witnessed the love and trust kids feel/have for the franchise, and then they get a boat that features a brig—which isn't in scale with the figures. Did i miss the episode or movie where they look up Mayor Humdinger and keep them in their private prison?
We ended up getting a puzzle and a model-kit as birthday presents and Kirby got a sea-turtle for the zoo he's currently building.
We looked at what people charge to let got of their Manta Force toys … let's see how expensive this month gets…
