Neoscream's Lift: 21th to 27th of January

RMS-099 (MSA-099) Rick Dias
Welcome to another week of my life. This weeks a whopper. For those new to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. It also includes the AJ Lee news; the latest Cosplay Deviants sets and news; my "Watch, Listen and Read" lists; and ever a 7TV team or DreadBall Figures (or both at rare times) that I have painted/converted.

It did snow on Monday, but it was too fine to effect traffic, but most of the schools in the UK were closed due to the weather even tho most people still got into work. In fact the Milton Keynes bus were running normally apart from one road in Newport Pagnell (but that Milton Keynes and not the rest of the UK).  During most of the week we did have some snow fall, but in was melting a bit faster then it was falling.

On Monday I was asked to coming on Tuesday at 8:30AM instead 9:45AM as I had to clean the shake/ice cream machine (the restaurant is meant to open a 10AM). Opening kitchen staff was meant to be in at 8AM and they meant to have the key, but when I arrived at 8:20AM there was no one in. I had to wait in the cold until 9AM for kitchen staff to turn up. He was late due to the fact he never had the key and had to wait for the key before going to work. Shows how organised the people I work for are. While waiting to get in I changed my footwear as my boot has grip on the ice and snow (but not indoor wet floors), but no warmth. While my shoes had warmth, but no grip. This turn into a bad move as when the kitchen staff finally turned up, I ended up as slipping as I turned round after picking up my stuff to enter the restaurant. I ended up greasing my left head knuckles and slightly twisting my right hand wrist. The wrist only hurt if I bent it or my fingers to much it was OK the next day. I still worked a standard days shift with a grove over my left hand and a tight bandage around the right wrist.


Now for AJ Lee news. On Raw on Monday the 21sr of January (which I did not see until the weekend due to recording problems) the was a beat the clock challenge between six wrestlers were the winner can pick where they would come out at in the Royal Rumble. In the first match Randy Orton defeated Antonio Cesaro in 11:36. The second match was between Dolph Ziggler and the Miz. Dolph had both AJ and Big E Langston at his side and with their help Dolph beat Randy's time. Now the new time to beat was 10:56. The third and final beat the clock match was Sheamus verses Wade Barrett. Sheamus was about to win when AJ and co ran to ringside. AJ rushed into the ring preventing Sheamus from Brogue Kicking Barrett and giving the camera man a fantastic view. Sheamus manage to pin Barrett, but time ran out before the ref could start counting. Afterwards in Vickie Guerrero's office, Dolph was planning on ever going for number 27 or number 30. He decided to go for number 30, but Vickie stated to he could not choose any number, just the numbers she gives them. Number 1 or number 2. I am not a Dolph fan, but Vickie is abusing her power like always and it is to screw AJ again. Something needs to be done about her.
There was no AJ on Smackdown this week, but her a Dolph appeared on Saturday Morning Slam where they interrupt Zack Ryder who was being interviewed by Natalya about next week's match against Dolph. A match what was recorded over a week ago.

As the Royal Rumble was show at 1AM late Sunday night/early Monday morning, I will talk about the results of the matches in next week's post.

Now for the week's Cosplay Deviants sets. On Monday there was a new set from the new deviant Reveth. The set is called Diary Holder and in it she cosplays as Yuno Gasai from Future Dairy. On Wednesday there was a new set from the deviant Kitty. The set is called Escapee and in it she cosplay as Michiko Malandro from Michiko to Hatchin. And finally the set on Saturday was a new set from the deviant Freckle. The set is called New Wings and in it she cosplays as Black Canary from the DC comics.


Freckle in "New Wings"

This week I am doing two updated Cosplay Cards of Kitty and Freckle.



Lastly is this week's printing segment. This week I have done a new special 7TV team, a generic police team. This is be the first of my generic teams that can provide extras to boost other teams. For example the police team can (and does) support the Doctor Who team and the soldier team (the next generic team that I will do) can support the Section Nine team and the Doctor Who team. With the generic teams I will be including a Co-Star or two, depending on how big I make the team. My normal rule of thumb with team builds in one staring level figure (star/co-star) per 100 ratings, which the first one and normally the the only one being a star. Generic teams back this as they do not have a Star and will have less staring level characters (maybe one per 150), M.I.B. breaks it with having two stars and both the Section Nine and Doctor Who teams breaks this as they are heavily staring level figures. Currently in the team, the minion dog handler and WPC May (Amy Pond) are place holders as I could not be asked yet to pick up more Coppers from Crooked Dice Games.



The Police vs. The Hive
Co-Staring, Armed Police Officer Alice
Co-Star Arch Type: Dependable Deputy
Move: 6
Def: 4
Hits: 2
Str: 3
Agi: 4
Int: 3
Mor: 5
Attacks: Brawl 4+, SMG 4+.
Special Effects, Star Qualities and other notes: Military Training, Eagle Eye, Inspirational. Body Armour, Leadership (1) and Luck (1).
Rating: 36
Model: eM-4-Miniatures 0052 Cop Female with SMG.

Extras, 4 Police Officers
Extra Arch Type: Police Constables.
Rating: 8 each.
Model: Crooked Dice Games Coppers and Crooked Dice Games WPC May.

The Police vs. the Daleks
Extras, Police Dog Handler
Extra Arch Type: Police Constables - Dog Handler.
Rating: 11.
Model: Crooked Dice Games Minion Dog Handler and the head from Reaper Miniatures 50033 Horace "Action" Jackson.

Extras, 3 German Shepherds
Extra Arch Type: Attack Dog.
Rating: 6 each.
Model: Crooked Dice Games Dog A.

Next step for this team is to upgrade it with a van, upgrade a Police Officer to a Driver and get a Sergeant. After that I will add Riot Police (three Officers, a Dog Handler with three dogs, a Driver with a van and a Sergeant).


A sign of things to come

Next week I will be doing another double bill. First will be seven more DreadBall figures, three Veer-myn players, Reek Rolat (aka Payback), one Orx player and two Goblin players. The second being the upgraded 250 rating Silicon Robotic Empire team for 7TV.

Until next time, Armour Up.

WWE Royal Rumble 2013

Hi all and welcome to a Royal Rumble special post. I these special I talk about my thoughts of the up and coming event. OK so the event will start in several hours time, I should have wrote this several days to a week age, but C'est la vie.

First of is the pre-show match, the U.S. Champion Antonio Cesaro verses The Miz. I hope the Miz will kick Ceasaro butt.

Next is the WWE Champion CM Punk verses The Rock. How can CM Punk cheat his way out of this one?  If the Shield interfere he will be striped of his title. If Rock wins, he has to compete more than a couple of time a year. I would like to see the Rock dethrone CM Punk, but I beat CM Punk or Paul Heyman will find a way to cheat.

Next is the World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio verses Big Show in a Last Man Standing Match. Hope Del Rio will win, but you can never count the dangerous Big Show. The KO punch is a perfect weapon in this style of match. However will ever still be the World Heavyweight Champion by the end of the night as Dolph Ziggler still has his Money in the Back contact.

Next is the WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No verses Team Rhodes Scholars. Will Team Rhodes Scholars win this match, "HELL NO".


Next is the massive 30-Man Royal Rumble Match. The titled match of the event. Known competitors according to the WWE website are:

John Cena, Sheamus, Randy Orton, Dolph Ziggler (who has to choose of being No. 1 or No. 2), 3MB (Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre), Antonio Cesaro, Wade Barrett, The Miz, Ryback, Bo Dallas (the winner of the NXT Tournament), Team Hell No, The Great Khali, Kofi Kingston and The Prime Time Players.

So 18 out of 30 competitors have been officially named. I am sure that Brodus Clay and Team Rhodes Scholars are in it as well leave 9 spaces. I like to see ever Sheamus, The Miz, Kane or Daniel Bryan win this match. Sorry AJ, I am not a Dolph fan and I bet being number 1 or 2 has killed all his chances of winning. If he does win some how, I will support him and cheer for him as long as AJ is at his side. However I have a feeling tho, if the Rock wins his match against CM Punk, Cena will win the Royal Rumble match for a WrestleMania rematch.

Wish there was a Divas Championship match between AJ and Kaitlyn. Maybe their leaving that until WrestleMania. I will talk about the final results of the Royal Rumble on the Neoscream's Life post that will be posted on the 5th of February. Until next time, Armour up.

MK HeroClix: 24th of January - Famous Duos

Welcome to the MK HeroClix post. This is a weekly post with HeroClix news and results of Thursday's HeroClix game at MK Wargames Society at York House. This week there was previews of a Blade (it is great that there is a new Blade in HeroClix), Docor Voodoo, Spider-Girl and Satana Hellstrom from Marvel The Amazing Spider-Man which is out soon; Cloak, Dagger, Rhino, Electro, Mysterio and Blade from Marvel The Amazing Spider-Man Gravity Feed which is out soon; and the Gor Portas and the U.S.S. Enterprise from Star Trek Tactics II which is out now.

This week’s game was 500 points, 3 actions, at least one figure must be a Duo figure. My team ended up being:

Thor and Loki (057 Marvel Hammer of Thor) 362
Iron Man (012 Marvel HeroClix 10th Anniversary) 101
Black Panther (107 Marvel Universe) 36
=499 points and no re-rolls.

In the first round I was up against Michael. He was using a Teen Titans themed team who were:

Beast Boy (019 DC Batman) 60
Supergirl (010 DC Superman) 100
Kid Flash (002 DC Crisis) 45
Nightwing and Starfire (058 DC Crisis) 125
Roy Harper (104 DC Crisis) 53
Tempest (047 DC Crisis) 116
=499 points and four re-rolls.

I manage to take out Supergirl in the first turn, but my dice rolls were crap afterward and Michael's were good with two critical hits from Beast Boy on Thor and Loki. I manage to take down Beast Boy but it was too late and the damage was done. I lost. Also Adrian defeated Darren in their game. In the second round I was up against Darren. He was using a female heavy Avengers themed team who were:

Storm (020 Marvel HeroClix 10th Anniversary) 98 + Avengers Heroic Age (ATA) 2 = 100
Sharon Carter (022 Marvel Chaos War) 45 + Avengers Heroic Age (ATA) 2 = 47
Crystal (044 Marvel Chaos War) 105 + Avengers Heroic Age (ATA) 2 = 107
Ant-Man and Wasp (053 Marvel Chaos War) 168 + Avengers Heroic Age (ATA) 2 = 170
Scarlet Witch (006 Marvel Chaos War Fast Forces) 75 + Avengers Heroic Age (ATA) 2 = 77
=499 points and four re-rolls.

Like normal against Darren I lost this game. Also Michael lost his game against his brother Adrian. In the third and final round I was up against Adrian. He was using a Detective themed team who were:

Batman and Green Arrow (046 DC Brave and the Bold) 204
The Question (004 DC Arkham Asylum) 37
Edward Nigma (105 DC Arkham Asylum) 60
Oracle (025 DC Batman Alpha) 50
Nightwing (029 DC Crisis) 79
Question (034 DC Origins) 40
=470 points and four re-rolls.

A critical miss from my first attack on Batman and Green Arrow from Thor and Loki sealed my fate. It does not help with Thor and Loki suffering to a Critical Hit again too. According to Michael and Darren I dealt Batman and Green Arrow the most damage than anyone else today as they were on their last click, but sadly I still lost.

Next week will be 500 points, 3 actions, the team must be a rarely used or unused Named theme.

Until next time, Armour up.

Neoscream's Life: 14th to 20th of January 2013

RX-178 Gundam Mark II
Welcome to another week of my life. This weeks a whopper. For those new to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. It also includes the AJ Lee news; the latest Cosplay Deviants sets and news; my "Watch, Listen and Read" lists; and ever a 7TV team or DreadBall Figures (or both at rare times) that I have painted/converted.

All the week before there was talk of snow on Monday and it happened. But only a thing layer. When I left for work. However I miss judged it and wear boots to work and as it was a last moment thought I forgot to wear ever a thinker pair of sock or a second pair and my feet froze (I later found two pairs do not help at all. I was OK walking, but standing around my feet froze). It did snow again heavily while I was at work, but just before finishing it stopped and the sun came out melting the new snow. All week there were reports of ever a twenty-four hour or two day long blizzard that would start ever on Thursday night at about 7/8PM or Friday morning at about 6AM. There was a bit of snow on Thursday night that started about 4PM and ended some thing during HeroClix, but again it was only a little covering. The real blizzard started sometime between 8:15AM (It was not snowing while I was eating breakfast) and 9AM (it was snowing as I was leaving for work). When I finished work I thought from what I saw from work, MK Rail Station (where the bus stop I use to get to and from work is) and the fact the bus driver never said anything, the buses were still running on the housing estates. I found I was wrong when the bus did not take the turning to the stop I normally get off at. So I ended up getting off the next main road bus stop and ended up walking though a snow buried housing estate that I nearly knew when the paths are visible to get to my housing estate. If I knew the buses were not doing the housing estates, I would have gotten off at the previous bus stop. The snow ended sometime in the evening (sometime between 6PM and 9PM) and there was almost no snow on Saturday. On Saturday night I checked on line weather reports for Milton Keynes as me and my mum had plans to go out. The hourly report said that there be snow again from 8AM Sunday to 8AM Monday and then snow again at 2PM Monday. The report was dead on with the start as it did start just after 8AM. Due to how fast the snow was coming down my mum decided to put it off until maybe next week. The snow stopped at about 5PM (15 hours earlier then the weather report said (but after talking to people the following day it did snow at parts during the night).


Milton Keynes in the snow
On local news (meaning Milton Keynes) the fish and chips shop known as Regg's to most people closed its doors for the last time as the couple who owned it are retiring. It was known well for its high quality and great customer service throughout Milton Keynes. They will be missed by all.

Now for AJ Lee news. First off I forgot to talk about a couple of tweets AJ did last week. AJ is a fan of the anime Cowboy Bebop and a huge fan of the character Faye Valentine from the show. Oh and AJ might be a Pokémon fan girl as a old picture from her FCW days has cropped up with her wearing a Pikachu t-shirt and in a fan drawn picture of herself, Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston, AJ said that Big E looked like a Diglett. More reasons AJ is fantastic and awesome and damn it AJ now every time I see Big E I think of Diglett.


Now to Raw on Monday the 14th of January. It was 20th anniversary of Raw, so a lot of old moments were shown. The two AJ picked were Edge's and Lita's wedding and Stephanie McMahon's and Triple H's wedding renewal (we all know the fool out was fake as they our still a happy couple in real life with several children). Both ended in chaos. Big E then added AJ's and Daniel Bryan's wedding were AJ dumped him and became GM of Raw. This upset AJ as she really love being GM, but she sacrificed her career as GM to save John Cena's name. But how did he repay her, he toyed with her heart, break it, insulted her and dropped ten ton of crap on her. Dolph veiled to won the Steel Cage match he has against Cena next. The match was basically the same as the house show Steel Cage matches I talked about a couple of weeks ago. However the ref was not knocked out, Cena never kissed AJ and Dolph had a Wardrobe malfunction as Cena pulled down his shorts to revile Dolph ass. Cena you are meant to do that to AJ not Dolph, LOL. This was the third Wardrobe malfunction AJ and Dolph had been in in a space of eight days. First being Cena losing his shoe in his match against Dolph last week, the second was AJ top be pulled up show off her black bra for most of the match (WOW) and now this. However just before the end of the match AJ climbed to the top of the cage, by the sound of it a feat never seen on WWE by a Diva (or so damn rare). But once up there AJ saw Dolph accidentally hit Big E with the Money in the Bank Briefcase, Cena Attitude Adjustment Dolph and then pinning Dolph for the three count. According to AJ on Twitter, she had no plan and is still stuck on top of the cage. Also Kaitlyn defeated Eve for the Diva's Championship. Congrats Kaitlyn, you have just painted yourself with bigger target for AJ to hit you. Eve quite over this coursing the Diva division to shrink even more. There is just 10 Divas left now if you count the Funkadactyls.


Big E Langston the Diglett
Luckily AJ did manage to get down in time for Smackdown where her, Dolph and Big E crashed Alberto Del Rio's party at the state of the show. Big E and Dolph were about to attack Alberto, but then the Big Show came out. He wanted to beat the crap out of Alberto due to losing to him last week. Sheamus then came out to try to even the odds which lead to Booker T to come out and making a tag team match for the main event (the last match of the show for those who do not know). Dolph and Big Show verses Alberto and Sheamus. Months ago, before Sheamus lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Big Show (who lost is to Alberto last week), there was a heated rivalry between Sheamus and Alberto. So will this team work? Big E tried to interfere with the match, but the ref court him and sent him off.  AJ got upset over it, argued with the ref and got sent off as well. And that the match, the world ends with not AJ... Sadly things do not end with no AJ. Big Show got pissed off from having a bucket of water thrown on him and then he walked off while being the legal man and dead up being counted out and Dolph disappeared as well. Meaning Sheamus won by count out, AGAIN. Luckily there were no wardrobe malfunctions.

AJ was also involved in two House Show's. There was as a No Disqualification match between Dolph and Cena which both AJ and Big E got banned from ringside. Cena won this one. The other being tag match with Cena and Ryback verses CM Punk and Dolph who had AJ, Big E and Paul Heyman on their side line. But five on two odds never worked and Cena pinned Dolph.

Until next time, Armour up.

Neoscream's life for the week of the 7th to the 13th of January 2013

AMX-002 (AMA-X2) Neue Ziel
Welcome to another week of my life. This weeks a whopper. For those new to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. It also includes the AJ Lee news; the latest Cosplay Deviants sets and news; my "Watch, Listen and Read" lists; and ever a 7TV team or DreadBall Figures (or both at rare times) that I have painted/converted. As you my notice I back doing Gundam UC mobile suits as the post header picture after a break for Christmas. This week is the last of the original three OVA suits. Next week I will be starting on the Zata mobile suits.


Pepper Pott's in the Rescue
armour
On Wednesday morning I had quite an interesting dream. I was at a convention. A Comic con style convention, but for some odd reason it was out side like a market or car boot sales. There were cosplayers everywhere. One court my eye. A female cosplayer standing on a wooden crate. She was wearing a suit of mechanical armour based on Pepper Pott's Rescue armour from the Iron Man comics, but she did not have the helmet on. The armour was fantastic, very detailed with lights and mechanical parts that moved with her. She looked fantastic too. I got chatting to her and we exchanged numbers. The dream the skip to her outside of the armour sitting a a table. She was using my phone to text her's about maybe meeting up. Then she phoned home and left a message on the answer phone for her sister, make up a fake excuse for next making it home last night. It was in fact the morning after the morning after convention and we had spent the night together some. The armour she was wearing was real, but no special abilities or weapons. She in fact makes real combat armours as every a hobby or for work (or both). We had been geeking out on technology most. If anything other then that happened, I did not dream it. However we very touchy close from the hugging. She needed, or at least wanted someone to help her. I agreed, but there was a problem, my Dyspraxia. I had to under go an operation which she had never for some unknown reason. The operation would give powers seminar to what Extremis did to Tony Stark in the Iron Man comics and in Iron Man: Armoured Adventures. That is were the dream ended.

Friday the audit happen finally at work and sadly we failed. So we are going to be re-audited again soon. Great, not.

Me, Richard and Pete manage to meet up on Sunday for gaming. As there was no Nathan, we could not do the final 7TV game of our campaign, but we did get a couple of DreadBall games in. Also on DreadBall news, I have signed up for Guardians of Tyr's DreadBall tournament on the 16th of February at Wargames Workshop MK. Here are the details.


Delicious in multiple ways
Now for AJ Lee news. WOW, what a busy and eventful week the week has been. On Raw on Monday the 7th of January, John Cena came out at the start of the show where he re-showed the whole scene where was dropped onto AJ and Dolph Ziggle. Then AJ, Dolph and Big E Langston came out angry at Cena for not only dropping the Crap on them last week, but replaying it at the start of the show. AJ was angry with Cena, she sacrificed job as Raw GM and risked her wrestling career to protect his career and good name and how does he repay her? Breaking her heart, insulting her and dropping crap on her. AJ called him a little man, which I am 95% sure AJ has used that insult at last once before. (And I bet it was to Paul Heyman.) Cena was over joy, saying AJ made her first sixth grade weiner joke. Cena must have a very dirty mind. Cena is losing fans over upsetting poor AJ. After some chat and insults, Cena challenged Dolph to a match. Dolph was declining the match, but Big E accepted in on Dolph behalf. This shocked everybody as it was the first time many people have ever heard him speck. Both Dolph and AJ were upset that Big E chose his first time to speck to say something that stupid, but I bet AJ was faking and had told Big E to do things like that. So the first match on Raw was Cena verse Dolph. During the match both AJ and Big E got sent out of ringside by the ref but only after AJ slapped Cena and licked her fingers afterwards. According to AJ on Tweeter Cena tastes delicious. The fight continued and then the ref was knocked out cold as Cena was winning. Big E rushed out and took out Cena. He then run off before a new ref came out. But in was not enough to keep the Cenation leader down and he quickly defeated Dolph when the new ref appeared. Sometime during the match I On none AJ Raw stuff, RyBack lost to CM Punk due to the Shield interfering. Again!!! In the past I would have agreed with Punk that "HE" had nothing to do with them, but after the lie detector test and this, I do not believe he has nothing to do with them. Also the Rock is back on Raw. OK it nice seeing old wrestlers and Diva return, but I do thing they are over rampping it with the Rock.


On Wednesday's Main Event (please note I have not seen it, just read about it on www.apriljeanette.net) there was as rematch between Dolph and Sheamus. Sheamus has now taken the place of my favourite "Active" Wrestler due to have Cena is treating poor AJ. AJ is my favourite Diva of all times if you have not work that one out already and Triple H is my favourite Wrestler of all times. Sorry just wanted to point that out. Sheamus beat the crap out of Dolph. Dolph ended up outside the ring. AJ help him leave ringside and up the ramp. Sheamus tried to catch up to them to drag Dolph back to the ring before the ref count him out as Sheamus suffer wins due to his opponents running away on him. However Big E stopped Sheamus from getting to Dolph in time. It looked like the two were going to fight, but Big E backed down and rejoined AJ and Dolph.


AJ beating the Great Khali on WWE '12 during the
THQ Superstar Challenge 2012. She also beat Tamina,
Cody Rhodes and Mark Henry to win the Trophy.

Smackdown on the 11th of January was very eventful and fantastic. The Rock is back on Smackdown. Alberto Del Rio is the new World Heavyweight Champion after defeating Big Show (bet there will be a rematch at the Royal Rumble. And finally the mix gender tag match of Dolph and AJ with Big E at their side verse the Great Khali and Natalya with Hornswoggle at their side. AJ was wear to type of cloths she normally wears outside the ring than her normal ring attire. She might have decided to change her in ring attire as she do wear the same sort of thing during the Dolph and AJ match against Cena and Vickie Guerrero weeks ago when she never wrestled. Dolph and Khali started things off. Khali was chopping Dolph to pieces. Dolph quickly tagged in AJ. The major rule of mix gender tag is Wrestlers will wrestle Wrestlers and Divas will wrestle Divas, for those who do not know. So Khali had to change with Natalya, but before Khali could get out of the ring AJ started skipping around him. She then climbed up his back. AJ this is not the THQ WWE 12 event where you beet the crap out of Khali, this is real life (sorry WWE in ring life). Natalya step into the ring and pulled AJ off Khali's back. This one of the most coursed the memorable moments of Smackdown, no, of the WWE ever. Greater then new champions being, greater classic wrestlers like the Rock returning, ever greater then Wrestlers like Triple H and the Undertaker returning to action (when ever that happens. WrestleMania is coming). Her is what AJ said about it on Tweeter: "If you need words that aren't 'The Rock' to convince you to watch Smackdown this week here they are: wardrobe malfunction". While being drag off Khali's back, her top was pulled up, reviling her bra covered breast. WOW. She fought the rest of the match in this state. WOW. I do not know if she know during the match what happened or only realised at the end of it, but WOW. Also as AJ was bouncing off the ring after Natalya pull her of you can see AJ's black panties too, well the edges if you are paying attention. After pulling AJ around a bit, Natalya went for the Sharpshooter, the Hart family's signature move, but AJ attacked her knee before she could turn AJ around to lock it in. When I say attack I mean AJ bit Natalya's knee (but there was no bite marks or damp patch to be seen) causing Natalya to break the move. Any way of saving your self from that move in OK with me. AJ moved to a corner where Natalya charged at her and start beating on AJ. AJ retaliated by biting Natalya's ear (but here was no blood). AJ quickly using a move called a Shiranui on Natalya and pinned her for the win. AJ then pulled down the front of her top and Dolph helped pull down the back. So Dolph can be a gentleman if he wants to be (more like the real Nicholas was showing). So Smackdown was WOW this week and will be super hard to beat. It is what you get with a good GM like Booker T instead of a crap one like Vickie.


She is smoking.

AJ and Dolph both appeared on the NXT Live Event (again please note I have not seen it, just read about it on www.apriljeanette.net). For those who do not know, NXT is the show when new wrestling talent are trained and compete to become a part of WWE flag shows Raw and Smackdown. Some of the current NXT wrestlers that have made some appearances on the flag shows are the Shield, Brad Maddox and Big E. However a lot of the current WWE Superstars come from NXT, names like current Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett, one half of the Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan, Alex Riley, the Funkadactyles, Brodus Clay, Damien Sandow, David Otunga, Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, Kaitlyn and the best to last, the Geek Goddess herself AJ. Dolph teamed up Brad in a tag team match ageist two people that have real life links to Nicholas Theodore Nemeth (Dolph) and April Jeanette Mendez (AJ), Briley Pierce and Trent Baretta. Briley is the brother of Nicholas. Trent is or was or was rumoured to be, April's real life boyfriend (it is what I read on random websites so I am taking it with a hand full of sult). Well back to the match, there was a lot of swapping around opponents, but I match the fight between Dolph and Briley was meant to be great and shows that Briley will do well. Dolphs team won the match as AJ distracted the ref while Big E took out Trent and then Dolph pinned him for the win. Brad wanted them to finish off Briley as well, but Dolph refused as it was has brother, so both Dolph and Big E finished off Brad instead.

AJ was involved in two House Shows during the week. She was at ringside with Big E and Heyman for Dolph's and Punk's tag team match against Sheamus and Cena. The five on two odds did not help Dolph and Punk as the team of Sheamus and Cena won.

Lastly on AJ news there is a new photo set of the divine Diva called Two Sides of Beauty. It was a nice set but could have done with three dress (Green, Red and White) instead on two (White and Black). It would have suited AJ better. You can guess why? Here is a fan made picture that shows off the set well.

Fate in "Kendo Captain"
Porphyria and Dolly in "Horrible"
Now for the week's Cosplay Deviants sets. Last week we started the three sets a week with Monday being where the extra set is. Like I said last week, with the pictures I plan on doing two ever side of this section and then a large scale one at the bottom before the Cosplay Card. The larger picture will be of my favourite set of the week.  On Monday there was a new set from the new deviant Fate. The set is called Kendo Captain and in it she cosplays as Saeko Busujima from High School of the Dead. On Wednesday there was a new group set from the deviants Porphyria and Dolly. The set is called Horrible and in it they cosplayed as female version of Captain Hammer and Dr. Horrible from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. The set on Saturday was a new set from the deviant KittyStar. The set is called Dessert and in it she cosplays as Strawberry Shortcake from Strawberry Shortcake. This was the first ever set KittyStar did for Cosplay Deviants, but it ended up being her eighth set on the site as the others were better or more popular characters.


KittyStar in "Dessert"

This week I am doing three updated Cosplay Cards is of KittyStar, Porphyria and Dolly.



Lastly is this week's printing segment. This week's is a new a double bill. First off are my DreadBall stuff. I have painted up two more Corporation players, the MVP Wildcard, four Forge Father players and the second ball. So now I have a full starter set of Corporation player and no thanks to the polls they now have a name the Cyber-Tech Primers. Due to the poor poll results, I will not be doing a poll for the name my Forge Fathers team has been added so please get voting. As you can see my Forge Feathers team colour scheme is based on Megatron. The Veer-myn and Marauder teams will not be based on Transformers. The Veer-myn will be fast food based and I am still thinking on the Marauder team.


The newly painted figures

Everything painted so far and the next wave of DreadBall stuff

Next is the 150 rating M.I.B. (Men in Black) team for 7TV. I have added a car, a random M.I.B. agent and a random civilian to fill in points. I currently do not have a dedicated model for the civilian as I never got the one I had original ordered ages ago was no longer in stock and I never got round to finding a new one. Also I will more than likely only need it in the 150 rating version of the team so I might be able to get away with borrowing a figure from another team for them anyway.
