Rachel's Next Adventure

We got a total of 33 on-ride photos with our PhotoPass during our June trip to DLP, I was going to upload all of them but I think it would make this post just a little too photo-heavy, so i've decided to attach one from each ride.. I know what you're thinking, why aren't we aiming at the targets? We'd both hit 999999, but I could cry because the scores didn't appear on the photo! Once again, for the amount of photographs we actually came away with - even though we only got on-ride photos, it was definitely worth paying for Disney's PhotoPass.

Last night my fiancé and I went to see Finding Dory - here is his review! Finding Dory Finding Dory is the sequel to Finding Nemo, only this time Dory, our favourite forgetful fish, is the one who goes missing when she convinces Marlin and Nemo to help her find her parents after banging her head and remembering that they lived in California… obviously Marlin is totally against the idea but (eventually) reluctantly recruits Crush to take them to California on the current. The closer she gets, the more she starts remembering about her childhood which leads her further and further from Nemo and Marlin, who have to 'think like Dory' to get out of some scrapes. Once she finds the place her parents lived, she meets some old friends and some new ones, including grumpy, mischievous octopus Hank who agrees to help Dory in return for her tag which will get him taken to Cleveland to live out his days in peace. Eventually she finds her parents but again gets separ...

I've said before that i'm not really collecting these anymore, but I do cave for a few of them every now and then, here are my two new ones, I think the top one is my new all time favourite! Aloha Stitch I finally got him! I had to order him from eBay and just bought a damaged box version because I knew I would be unboxing him anyway, I don't usually with exclusives, but my Stitch display doesn't have enough space to fit an in-the-box POP. Teddy (Bob's Burgers) I picked this one up from Travelling Man when my friends and I wandered away from Sunnycon  (there wasn't really a lot going on this year unless you liked power rangers or wanted to see some of the guests they've already had in the four years before this event). Once we get the house fixed up and decorated, i'm going to display my Bob's Burgers POP! figures together, i've decided not to get the buttloose Tina, but I desperately want Gene in his burge...

On Tuesday, my fiancé and I went to see Star Trek Beyond, here is his review! Star Trek Beyond is the next instalment of the Star Trek reboot and, if I am honest, it comes up a little lacking on the last two movies. Nothing is particularly bad about the movie, it just lacks something, some parts of it didn't make sense and maybe they should have concentrated on some of the complexities more than other parts, like the stupid inane jokes which made 50 year old men laugh boisterously in the cinema which it (and I) could have seriously done without… these are the kind of people who laugh at The Big Bang Theory for all the wrong reasons. Back to the movie. So, yeah, there's some good action sequences, there's a lot of explosions considering it's in space and for an explosion to work the way it's depicted there needs to be an abundance of oxygen surrounding the fire, but forget that, it looks ok. Hell, we even have a gay Sulu, which the pessimist in me...

It's time for another Funko POP! Wishlist! I don't collect as much as I used to, I just add some favourites every now and again, and these definitely fall under that heading! Aloha Stitch This one is top of my list! It's a Hot Topic Exclusive and looks like it's completely sold out already so it's going to be pretty difficult to get our hands on it over here in the UK. Burger Suit Gene I like the Burger Suit version better than the original Gene POP!, it'll go great with the Bob, Linda, Tina, Louise, Gene and Teddy I already have.  Beef Squatch You can't have Burger Suit Gene without Beef Squatch!  Tsum Tsum Foam Key Chain I'm not really sure what I'd do with these but they're just too cute to pass up on! Hopefully we'll get them in stores over here in the UK. Captain Jack Sparrow I don't really want the rest of the Pirates of the Caribbean POPs but Jack Sparrow is a must for everyone's collectio...

This year I went to the Sunderland International Airshow on both the Friday and the Sunday - although there were problems on both days! On Friday, due to some rain, the entire beach was swarmed with tiny tiny flies, everywhere! I only went for the Red Arrows so it wasn't a huge problem as I didn't stay too long. Then the Sunday, the rain was so bad that they brought the flights forward half an hour. I didn't get anywhere near as many videos of photographs as I wanted to this year, but hey, I don't work Sundays anymore so theres always next year! There wasn't a lot going on this year, no Nintendo tent, no Pot Noodle or other sponsored tents either, just military recruitment stalls. I did over 31,000 steps on the Sunday, and I caught a lot of Pokémon on Pokémon go so, I can't complain really! You can enjoy the videos I did manage to get below.
