X-E’s ’08 Summer Megaparty: Gazzler!

Since I seem to have disgusted a great many of you with yesterday's entry on the Bullshot, tonight I'll stick to something that everybody loves: Bubbles!

Course, saying that "everybody loves bubbles" is a clear invitation for some smarmy prick to post a comment about how he or she hates them. If that happens, tomorrow's post is about the Karen Ross Congo figure.


From Funrise's Gazillion Bubbles collection, meet GAZZLER! As I understand it, Gazzler is a three-eyed mutant lizard dog who exists solely for the purpose of spitting hundreds of bubbles at speeds that exceed all human comprehension. And as if the traits listed in the previous sentence didn't make Gazzler impressive enough, note that he's been inhumanly stitched onto a gun, transforming him from a bubble-spitting mutant to a bubble-spitting mutant that you can shoot!

It's tough to imagine the path of action that brought Gazzlers into production, but I'm glad they're here. Bubbles should be fun for everyone, but there's no denying the female-targeted stigma they hold once the wand-wielder gets beyond age five. Guys need bubble fun too, and nothing makes bubbles more acceptable for men than a three-eyed mutant lizard dog who throws them up at top speeds.


Gazzler performs his task well, though the velocity at which he hurls his bubbles means that the fragile orbs only get to live for a second or two before popping from the pressure. On the flipside, it's obvious that Gazzler's secret purpose is to allow small children to beam other small children in the face with lots and lots of bubbles. For those ends, he's an amazing achievement in mutant lizard dog bubble-shooting technology.

Whereas most mutant lizard dogs live and breathe through the magic of accursed ichor, Gazzler just needs a couple of "AA" batteries. I'm also just now realizing that if you don't provide Gazzler with his included stock of bubble liquid, he makes an absolutely amazing portable fan. I'm sitting here all refreshed, with a face full of nice, buzzing Gazzler throat air. This is the highlight of my day and I'm not afraid to admit it.

I made a sucky YouTube video of Gazzler in action, because I know you're having a tough time believing that there's a mass-produced series of three-eyed, bubble-blowing mutant lizard dogs. In terms of proof, visual aids are always effective.

In closing, Bullshots are awesome and everyone should drink spiked beef stock.

I can’t stand bubbles. Must be from being forced to eat them when I was a child.

I do not accept that closing statement!!!

And screw it I’m a girl, but the appeal of the mutant lizard dog and his guzzling skills, well I can’t even put it into words….if I could go back in time I’d take that mutant-lizard-dog-bubble-guzzling-ass-kicking gun over the delicate wand any day of the week (I wonder if that means I’d come back in the future as a lesbian….)

Chestnuts roasted by Romi @ 07/16/2008 11:26 PM


I want to find a bottle of bubbles, like, RIGHT NOW.

Chestnuts roasted by Neg @ 07/16/2008 11:26 PM


Wow, could this look anything more like the creepy creature I just made on Spore?

Chestnuts roasted by Brett @ 07/16/2008 11:27 PM


Holy crap! With this and a Super Soaker, you could rule the world like Dr. Doom.

Chestnuts roasted by arthurcluck @ 07/16/2008 11:29 PM


You could actually shoot an actual “Bubblebeam” at people. Take that, Fake Wartortle. We know you’re just a squirrel with a fake turtle shell on you.

He doesn’t guzzle, he GAZZLES!

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 07/16/2008 11:30 PM


I want one of those immediately! Also bubbles rock. That’s not up for discussion! =)

Chestnuts roasted by ULTRAMAN @ 07/16/2008 11:34 PM


I was going to say I hated bubbles, you know just to be a smarmy prick and everything.
But after seeing him in action I don’t think I can, where do you get those wonderful toys??

Chestnuts roasted by JoshC @ 07/16/2008 11:38 PM


I want that!
…Even though it looks like it only works 60% of the time?

I really hope random people stumble upon that video on youtube. It would be a purely what-the-fuck moment for them, for sure.

Chestnuts roasted by Denise @ 07/16/2008 11:42 PM


Norbert, I love you, you goof~

Chestnuts roasted by Neg @ 07/16/2008 11:43 PM


I hate bubbles, but I love Karen Ross. She was clearly the best character.

Her devotion to Charles was admirable, but her standing up to his father was heroic.

Bruce Campbell cameo ftw!

Being a nerd, I read popular science. It was there that I first discovered Zububbles. Part of the “best inventions” something deal, they had a multi-page article on how this guy made colored bubbles. It actually took two guys and a number of years for them to finally get it. You can read the article here http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2005-11/11-year-quest-create-disappearing-colored-bubbles
After all that effort, I decided I had to have some. Black bubbles – come on. “Summer, ’07″ the website said. It’s a year later, and nothing. It’s like, “here’s pure childhood fun, we don’t know when you can have it.” http://www.zubbles.com/

That gif had a really weird sexual rythem to it. Made reading the post a little difficult.

But I powered through it. Yeah, I like bubbles over bullsnot…er bullshot.

Chestnuts roasted by Bill @ 07/16/2008 11:46 PM


Please no more Congo figures : (

Chestnuts roasted by mezzanine @ 07/16/2008 11:48 PM


I love bubbles, especially when they issue forth from something as cool as that but…could we still have the Karen Ross Congo action figure review?

Chestnuts roasted by FyarlGirl @ 07/16/2008 11:49 PM


More Congo figures would be nice. =)

Chestnuts roasted by ULTRAMAN @ 07/16/2008 11:52 PM


Cobra…..Bubbles?

(Wow, I need to watch that again…Haven’t had my annual summer viewing of Lilo and Stitch yet).

This is totally off tangent, but I’m considering blowing part of my first paycheck on Pokemon Diamond (or Pearl…). I haven’t played a Pokemon game since Yellow. Is it really that fun? How many hours can I expect in the main game?

Chestnuts roasted by Cameron T. @ 07/16/2008 11:54 PM


CameronT. GET POKEMON DIAMOND OR PEARL! The main quest will take you a while to complete, and even when yur done there’s still some cool sode stuff to do. But that’s not the real reason you should get it. The REAL reason you should get it is because there’s ENDLESS replay value online! Plus the battle system is BETTER THAN EVER! You have to put alot of strategy into building yur teams. Picking the right types, teaching them the right moves etc.. , just get it.=) If you do , then we can battle. I’m a HUGE fan of the Poke games. The regular ones anyway.

Chestnuts roasted by ULTRAMAN @ 07/17/2008 12:02 AM


Last I checked I had 212 hours, but like how am I supposed to factor out trading and breeding time :O

Chestnuts roasted by Neg @ 07/17/2008 12:05 AM


Okay, I just asked and the answer I got was 30-40 hours.

Chestnuts roasted by Neg @ 07/17/2008 12:09 AM


Bill, I was just about to say that. I’m glad I’m not the only one that was somewhat uncomfortable watching that. Wow, I wouldn’t have taken Gazzler for a squirter.

What?? Get out of here with that! Oh, DJ D, that’s just the limit!

Oh, I meant to mention that thanks to our recent trip into the Congo, it’s now at the top of my Netflix queue. Apparently it’s a lost gem that I must see again, according to you folks. I didn’t remember all that awesomeness lo those many years ago the first time I saw it.

I never want to speak of Bullshot ever again.

Chestnuts roasted by DJ D @ 07/17/2008 12:14 AM


Karen Ross is awesome… did she also have a shoulder cannon? You’re re-awakened my love for Congo!

PS Bubbles are cool too.. but not as cool as monkeys that bash your head in with rocks!

Chestnuts roasted by Anonymous @ 07/17/2008 12:19 AM


No summer is ever complete without bubbles!

I posted this in the last thread but think it might get missed, so here I go again. For those with love of the Robot/Galactic/Adventure Heroes/Super Hero Squad lines – Hasbro is releasing a Combat Heroes line of stylized GI Joe characters.

For some reason the link won’t post, but here’s Snake-Eyes, Timberwolf and Zartan: http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=view&album=GIJoe%...

The next image is Bazooka and Firefly.

It’d probably break the thing, but it would be awesome to put touchabubble fluid in this and see what happened. BUBBLE BULLETS MIGHT BE A POSSIBILITY.
