A couple Duke cousins queue up for December benefit event

What's this? A Hazzard County Christmas featuring a couple Duke boys? Well, golly, if it ain't a pandemic-era "Dukes of Hazzard" event popping up on the calendar. Byron ("Coy Duke") Cherry and Chris ("Jeb Stuart Duke") Hensel will appear at the family-friendly show on December 12 at the Cusseta Event Center in Cusseta, Alabama. And best of all, this event raises money for toys for kids in need, sponsored by the Missiles for Christ Ministries. Very cool.

Terrific non-TV Toys: Batgirl and Donatello figures from DC Collectibles, 2020

It's a marvelous mashup of two different pop-culture universes. Batgirl of the comics teams up with Donatello of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to fight some crime, or maybe just eat some pizza. This two-pack of figures (and lots of accessories) takes the spotlight for the latest episode of the Terrific non-TV Toys web series. This set is part of a larger set based on the comics cross-over of these two universes, and it was just released earlier this year.

Happy Friday!!!

Next up: A ride in the Mystery Machine with Scooby and the gang, in December's episode of "Terrific TV Toys"!

Watch last night's broadcast of "Live with Vince Eliot" featuring BRB

Well, it was a really nice time last night, and I want to thank my hosts, Vince and Erika, along with Deidra in production, for having me on as a guest on the weekly "Live with Vince Eliot" show. This is a relatively new show, launching earlier this year, and these folks have their production down to a science, and things went really smoothly for this episode airing live on both Facebook and YouTube. We talked about all kinds of geeky things. I was the only geek in the room -- can you believe that? Often I am surrounded by other geeks. But they were very patient with me, LOL. 


Anyway, you can watch last night's broadcast in the Facebook video or in the YouTube embed below, and you can hear all the chatter about Motor City Comic Con, San Diego's Comic-Con, the BRBTV book series, and much more ...

Terrific TV Toys: Wonder Woman Hallmark ornament, 2020

The fact that it features that luscious cape really makes the piece -- don't you think? It even looks like satin despite the hard plastic / resin material of this 2020 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament all set to deck your Christmas tree this season. This one was released this past summer, not during the fall release you read about on this very blog a few weeks ago. And she is really a beauty, capturing the beauty of the beauty queen who stepped into this iconic role back in the 1970s. She would become the standard we would forever measure Wonder Woman against.
