GooooooOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOoOOOood
Afternoon! It’s Anabelle here, back again at the Traditional Christmas Village.
It seems like this year, we got some new residents. Although I’m not going to
go off on that tangent right now. Anyway, it is that time of year again: the
time for the “I Wish I Was In Jeff’s Village” Action Figure and Hess Truck
Extravaganza!
This
year, Jeff (aka Father of Mine) decided to honor Stan Lee with his G.I. Joe
Village.
:(
So,
his village is stocked with heroes that Stan created. However, many readers of
this blog had a hunch that a Marvel village would be coming, and this got all
of the figures hyped, not just Stan’s fellows. Some of the disappointed
heroes decided to band together and bring back the parade. They contacted their
good ol’ pal Xena the Warrior Princess, who reached out to us to get the news
coverage. She was also able to procure Santa Hats for select paraders to wear.
Well,
here we go again!
Up
first we have the motorbike from this year in the lead, followed by the 2007
and 2004 motorbikes. They are escorting the 2018 dune buggy, which is holding
Rogue! Rogue is starring in one of the comics yours truly is reading right now
(Mr. And Mrs. X), so she thought this
relevance would pop her on over into the village. It didn’t, but she’s always
welcome here.
Next
we have the 2012 helicopter car and the 2005 fire truck car escorting the 2015
mini fire truck. On this float is Iron Boy! He is ready to show his holiday
spirit for you all as he performs the hit single: “Completing the Square”.
No…..that
is definitely not a shameless plug for my math song that I’m very proud
of…..what are you looking at?
Following
him we have the 2011, 2016, and 2009 small racers with the Christmas
Frog!!!!!!! (And also a teeny frog that I may or may not have lost as a child
behind the Christmas tree belonging to someone horridly afraid of frogs—sorry Grandma!)
Anyway, this frog was in my Marvel bin for some reason, but Father of Mine said
that the lizard was the closest this frog would get to the spotlight. Honestly,
even getting the lizard into the village took quite the push on my part.
Now,
on the 2004 SUV, we have our first team float, which is people from MC2. Here’s
Wild Thing, American Dream, and Stature/Stinger (affectionately called Bugga
Pym by childhood Anabelle for some reason— ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) These gals are
filled with ho-ho-holiday cheer and can't wait to spread it around.
Following
them we’ve got the first of three Alpha Flight floats. This 2014 ship has
Vindicator and Wolverine leading the way for their buddy pals.
Our
main Alpha Flight float is the snowman float. With Puck leading the way,
Snowbird is the star of this float, with her badger and owl lining the sides.
Moving right along to the rest of the team, we have siblings Aurora and North Star with their buddy Sasquatch, or as I like to call him for the sake of holiday cheer, the Bumble.
Now,
we have the 2009 big race car, with people that are closely tied with our
friendly neighborhood Spider Man! Yes, we’ve got Black Cat, Spider Woman, and
Venom here to show their support for…
SPIDERMAN-INTO
THE SPIDERVERSE!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!
You
guessed it folks, this next float (the 2003 race car storage) is holding
celebrity guests Spiderwoman (Spider Gwen) and Peter Porker himself, the
Amazing Spider Ham! They’re here to pump up the parade-goers for their new
movie, which I am proud to say was an amazing experience. Check it out guys,
it’ll be worth it.
The
next and final team float(s) belongs to Excalibur. While we don’t have the
whole team, some members did come out to wish you all a happy holiday. On the
2016 snow plow carrier is team leader Captain Britain, Nightcrawler, and Kitty
Pryde.
Following
them on the brandy new 2018 RV is Colossus and Psylocke. She’s so tiny because
she just........ummmmm........got hit with a shrink ray! Yeahhhh that’s it! A
shrink ray! She’s definitely not the completely wrong scale action figure. No
way, José!
Ahem.
Coming
up in the 2014 Spaceship Carrier, we have one of the most famous Marvel
characters in existence: Captain America! With him is his ol’ pal Bucky, both
of whom were not created by Stan Lee. So, they ran over to the parade last
minute for a shot at inclusion. Of course, they were accepted.
And
now...........
The
moment you’ve been waiting for since last year.........
“Wait!
Anabelle! This is a Marvel parade! How could you possibly have gotten…”
Well
dear parade viewers, we’ve done it, so joining head organizer Xena today we
have….
The
ONE
The
ONLY
PsYcHo
PiRaTe!!!!!!!!!!
Yes
friends, Xena wrote to the man in red as soon as she heard that she was running
the parade. Naturally, it took some convincing, but Mr. Pirate eventually came
around to making another appearance by this big, beautiful Christmas tree. The
two are on the 2015 fire truck, surrounded by the 2003 race cars.
That
concludes this year’s festive parade, folks! But, before we go, let’s meet up
with the Marvel Holiday Actors again. This year, they’ve put together a live
nativity. The cast is as follows:
Joseph-Tony
Stark (facial hair)
Jesus-
Baby Groot (baby)
Angel-Songbird
(wings)
Three
Wise Men- Namor, Black Panther, King Thor (all Kings)
Shepherd-
Poison (new figure...why not!?)
Sheep-
Blackheart (....uhhhh, well I covered his spikes in cotton balls so he looked
like a sheep….hey I tried, right?)
Donkey-MULE
WITH A HAT ON (WOOOOO)
Well,
I guess that’s it! See y’all when I see ya! Enjoy Christmas tomorrow, and stay
tuned for my father’s triumphant comeback after he wakes up from his million
gazillion year nap.
Ho
Ho Ho!
