I’m going to assume that everyone who is reading this post has seen the beloved Walt Disney classic film “Mary Poppins” at some point in their lives if not several times such as I have.

Now, some fifty years after that film “Mary Poppins Returns” and is played by Emily Blunt. Let’s take a look at the just released teaser trailer.

This assortment includes SUNSET SHIMMER, RAINBOW DASH and TWLIGHT SPARKLE figures. Press the button on their torso for lights and sounds!

Piercing Ken Thoughts: I think that they look terrific and I just love the vibrant colors along with their sizes and manner of articulation. Since so many of my friends have younger kids that LOVE the “My Little Pony” stuff, I can see where some of my Christmas Club money will be going in the coming months. As these get closer to their release date, I’ll check on Amazon.com and add the respective purchasing codes for those who are a little out of the way to get them easily. Hey we’re here to help after all. What do you folks with the little ones think of these? Let me know in the comments section below.

Exploring The 2018 NY Times Travel Show @ Javits Center (Part 2)

new york times travel show

Well hello again my friends and welcome back to my second and final installment from the 2018 New York Times Travel Show. As I mentioned in my first chapter (seen HERE), this was my first time ever attending this and I had gone during their Media and Industry Day. The vibe is different when its all the “working stuff” so with more of the Boat Show and BroadwayCon stuff under my belt, I took a wander for one of the consumer days. Let’s explore some faraway lands once more.
