The Next Doctor - spoiler free (more or less)
I just finished the Doctor Who Christmas Special for 2008, The Next Doctor. I figured I'd share a few spoiler-free thoughts. Well, mostly spoiler free. Broad brushstrokes I'll share, since it's hard to say anything without ANY spoilers. If you've seen the promos then you're safe.
The Doctor comes to London town, 1851, Christmas Eve. "Nice year," he muses, "a bit dull." That is, of course, the moment that the air is split by a woman screaming for 'The Doctor'. Eagerly, he runs to assist, but she doesn't seem to want HIM. It's another Doctor who she wants, and he isn't long in coming. Played by David Morrissey, he has the right sort of affable charisma of a Timelord. Together, The Doctor and The Doctor fight off steampunk Cybermen in a fun little Christmas tale. Parts of the plot don't make a ton of sense, but then I'm feeling charitable given how enjoyable the extended episode was. Certainly a pleasant way to spend a Christmas (or, in my case, a Boxing Day) morning.

I'm taking a few days off of Blogging for the holidays. Rest assured, more models, reviews and artwork will be forthcoming after the holidays. In the meanwhile, have a MAXIMUM Christmas.

Merry Christmas with a super TF: Animated and Universe sale
Amazon.com is giving the store away, just in time for Christmas. The largest Transformers Animated figures are 45% - 75% off!
Supreme Optimus Prime - $28
which I believe qualifies for free shipping. That's the giant one, folks, down from $50.
Leader class Megatron - $16
down from $40. This is the largest Megatron Animated toy.
Leader class Bulkhead - $13
down from $40. This toy rocks, and comes with a Headmaster add-on that changes his voice.
There are some other good deals, like Voyager Starscream
for $15, down from $24, or Voyager Megatron 
(the Cybertronian one) for $9, also down from $24, but those three are the best ones. Maybe this'll make Christmas shopping a little lighter on the wallet for you.
UPDATE: Some of the larger Universe toys are also marked down quite a lot: Powerglide - $10
normally $25. Blaster - $9
down from $22, Onslaught - $18
down from $25, Heavy Load - $14
down from $22, Dropshot - $9 down from $22 and Blades - $15 down from $22. 'Tis the season, right?
