Trash Talk

So...  After FINALLY doing our first post here on the Eyebot, it's only taken us *coughnearlyayearcough* to do our second one.  Ya see, both Alexx and myself suffer from a debilitating decease called PROCRASTINATION.  It's not something we're proud of, but we have to live with it.  

I don't just live with it - I owe it money!  Every day it's on my doorstep askin' for cash, and I keep tellin' it I'll have it later.  It keeps accepting that answer because...well, it's procrastination.  Whatdoyawant?

Anyway, after lots of "hey, we should do this" or "we should do that" with planning the next post, we decided to just do what we're gonna do now.  

First Spotlight - Assembled!

I can't believe it's taken us this long to get our first real spotlight done!  I offer no excuses, just Alexx's personal and heartfelt apologies.

Indeed!  I personally offer my heartfelt apologies for Zach's slothful and altogether reprehensible behavior. 

It's been a while since we did our intro posts and explained that we're going to talk back and forth, person to person, so when the text changes color, that's us changing author.  So for now and future reference:  Zach = blue, Alexx = red.  It's that easy!

So about half a year ago, back when Iron Man 3 was still new in theatres, we decided to each buy three figures from the Iron Man Assemblers line to do a spotlight on.  The catch was that we couldn't tell each other which ones we got.  We would just go right into the spotlight and reveal them there.  I can't really remember what the point of the secrecy was, but I think it had something to do with letting the pieces of the figures speak for themselves, instead of us going "This one's cool because of this", "Aw yeah man, I agree, let's get the same ones!", "Good idea, and then we can blog about the same few figures".  I dunno.  Both of us said we wouldn't go crazy with this line, but we wanted to review a nice chunk of them.  There's always the possibility we chose the same three, but we've kept the secret from each other this long, so we might as well get right to it.

BAAAADHRA

And now for a second introduction of sorts!

Hello and welcome: My name is Alexx (more or less) and I'm one of the two authors of Go! Launch All Eyebot.  If you were somehow unaware, I also have my own Blog of the Internet called Toys and Tomfoolery where I have toys and I tomfool with them all night long.  It's a party, you should come.  Bring some skittles.  Anyway, you're probably wondering why I need two blogs with which to manhandle toys and write captions, and you'd be right to wonder.  The answer is uuhhh in the previous post or something I dunno but yeah, I thought double commentary on toys would be fun!  Nah that's only partially true - see my buddy Zach thought double commentary on toys would be fun and by golly, I agreed!  Now, since he thinks he's so smart and knows me so well, I'll attempt to explain my co-author as best I can while also breakdancing:

Okay scrap the breakdancing:

My partner in the written art of being-one-of-the-countless-masses-that-have-blogs is Zach Orian, or Neutron Hacker, as I knew him back when I met him at Joesightings.  The man has his own blog called The Plastic Eyeball.  He's a Canadian, but he's apologized for that and I think we can put it behind us.  He likes monsters, freaks, eyeballs, things with eyeballs for heads, kaiju, Ultraman or any giant rampaging and/or saving cities.  Like myself, Zach collects toys; he has a love affair with little collectible guys like M.U.S.C.L.E. Creatures or any other little rubber figure.  If a toy has minimal story to go with it, Zach here will fill up them holes with the power of IMAGINATION.  I've not seen another who can match his power to connect any unrelated toy together through storytelling.  There is one thing that can be matched however, as we are on equal terms in hilarity.  We've been makin' jokes for as long as I can remember - from Joesightings to...um...wherever we met up again I can't remember.

Are we doin' this italics thing?  Where the hell did we meet up again after Joesightings?  Was it on He-Man.org?  We should probably make different colors between us so the readers can tell the difference.
Let's do this italics thing!  We met the hell up again on He-Man.org.  I used my "Neutron Hacker" name there, and you asked if I was the same Neutron Hacker that posts on Joesightings.  As if there's a bunch of Neutron Hackers out there.

So yeah, like Zach said: We've never met up outside the interwebs, but we might as well have been friends since childhood, just about.  I don't have any pics of that wacky bastard, but I have some picture of this guy with a Warrior Ring:

I think that's me! 

So welcome to the Eyebot and please don't drop any food anywhere.  Keep your cups on the coasters.  There's more folding chairs in the closet if you need a seat, and there are pops in the minifridge, like some cherry coke, dr. pepper, I think there's a mountain dew left in the back, it's pretty old-----ah, you'll see when you get there.  Finally: Don't be afraid to make some noise!  The parents are out for the weekend and we're gona pour out ALL the toys and stage a huge fuggin' battle, it's gona be sweet.

And now for an introduction of sorts!

Hi.  How are ya?  My name is Zach and I'm one of the two authors here at Go!  Launch All Eyebot!  I also write my own personal blog called The Plastic Eyeball, which covers all the various sorts of toys I'm into.  So why am I starting a second blog that's about the same kinds of things that my first one covers?  Simple:  Two heads are better than one.  As much fun as it is to tell people what I think about toys, it's even more fun to talk about them with somebody else.   I've managed to come across a likeminded head that sees toys the same way my own head does, and we've decided to put our heads together and let you into our collective consciousness.  But let's see if I really know as much about my co-author as I think I do.

My partner in crime here at the Eyebot is Alexx.  Alexx writes his own toy blog, called Toys and Tomfoolery.  He's American, but we've managed to overcome that.  He likes robots, monocles, video games, toys, robots, beards, and writing.  Not necessarily in that exact order.  Am I forgetting anything?  Top hats?  Anime?  Reading?  Does he read?  I think he reads.  And if memory serves me right he also doodles a mean weapon.  Then again all weapons are pretty mean...
Like me, Alexx is an avid toy collector.  Masters of the Universe, G.I. Joe, and Gundam are his true loves.  Dr. Doom and Mega Man are his close friends.  Transformers is his cruel mistress, and Playmobil is his evil temptress that he just can't get out of his head.  We also share a similar sense of humor that has explored countless highs and unspeakable lows during our many twisting and turning conversations.  The stuff we say is funny, or at least I always thought it was.  I'm hoping that shared humor comes through here in the blog, and if any of it makes sense, I hope it makes you smile.

There, ya monkey!  I did your bio for you!  Now let's see if you've got the whatchamacallits to do mine!

Oooh, writing to the other author in italics!  I like that!

Hey Alexx!  Let's write to each other on the blog in italics!  We can write directly to the reader in... normal.... talics...  It'll be a like a three-way conversion where only two people are speaking!

Now, Alexx and I have never actually met in real life.  We've known each other for years, but it's all through this newfangled, bojangled interweb.  And as such I have no pictures of Alexx to add to this introduction.  But I do have lots of pictures of me!  So here's me as a giant dinosaur destroying a city:
