PCL: Eyewitness to Blind Buying

 

Anyone who has seen my illustration posts or heard me on the Geek Fallout podcast knows that I don't do anything without a plan. So while its not for me, I was an eyewitness to blind buying this past week.

 

While out shopping with my neighbor Asia (she's the kind of person who should be post for the League as she fits more with the toy collector crowd) She was squeezing the Star Wars figure bags looking for a Boba Fett. "This one's a BB-8!" she declared matter-of-factly. I suppose the unique shape would give it away. She ended up getting a Darth Vader.

 

She did the same thing with the Disney Princess bags. She left with Tiana, Merida and Cinderella. She arranged them on my dashboard and had them sing Skyler sister songs from "Hamilton" the whole way home. She seemed satisfied.

Geek Fallout 118: Geek Brands

Picking a picture for this week's show was quite a challenge!

We dive into the black and white world of Aquaman before the others weigh in on "Fifty Shades of Grey" (skip over 45:00-59:00 if you're not interested in the latter).

Then we explore the wide world of geek brands! Join Miss M, Chris Lockhart, Derek Ash, Chris Giada and myself as we get hip with Funko, tour through the top toys and dig through Derek's Little Mermaid underwear.
