The just-revealed G.I. Joe figures are up for preorder
Sniper, Road Pig, and more all look great. But Raptor shouldn't have a high tech flying rig. He should continue to look like a tax consultant/precursor to the QAnon Shaman.

The Alpine F1 team will be wearing Deadpool and Wolverine-themed suits this weekend
They usually use pink and blue (and have been very bad this year):
This weekend it's a Deadpool and Wolverine-themed livery for the cars and suits and helmets for the drivers (Reynolds and McElhenney invested in the team last year) (the driver showing off the claws just announced he's signing with another team):
Disappointing weekend overall.

Million dollar NIL deal for the 2024 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year
ESPN:
Canady's agreement with the Red Raiders dwarfed an offer from Stanford that would have made her the highest-paid women's athlete in school history, sources told ESPN. Canady also pointed to potential opportunities at Texas Tech through a recently announced deal between the school, Adidas and Kansas City Chiefs and former Red Raiders quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
...
Canady's next challenge will come leading a Texas Tech program that has reached the NCAA tournament only six times in program history
These past two years have been amazing and I thank @StanfordSball for the ride of a lifetime. Excited for what’s ahead! @TexasTechSB pic.twitter.com/C017QT51Gp

"LAPD officers allowed to carry guns at Paris Olympics after France makes exception"
LAT:
France will cover the officers’ airfare and lodging expenses, but not meals, the documents say.
...
Foreign police and military personnel from non-European Union member nations are typically forbidden from being armed and acting in their law enforcement capacity on French soil. But former LAPD Chief Michel Moore and other police administrators helped talk the government into temporarily relaxing its rules in order to allow U.S. officers to carry their service weapons. The LAPD said the effort had been in the works since a 2021 visit to France by Moore.
Moore’s trip was one of several to France by department officials in recent years. The visit caused a stir after two members of the then-chief’s security detail detained a French citizen who had been wrongly accused of stealing the cellphone of a senior LAPD official’s wife in Marseille.
Moore later apologized to Marseille officials and the U.S. consul general

The terrific Hellboy figure by 1000Toys is up for preorder, Lobster Johnson too
at the BBTS. I have a slightly different version of the Hellboy, it's a terrific translation of Mignola's art and a great toy. The new Lobster Johnson looks great too:

A member of Canada's soccer support team is believed to have used a drone to spy on the New Zealand soccer practice
A drone was flown over a Ferns training session in Saint-Étienne, France, on Monday, New Zealand’s Olympic Committee (NZOC) said in a statement Tuesday. Ferns staffers reported the drone to police, who detained the operator
...
The COC apologized to New Zealand’s players, federation and the Olympic Committee, saying it was “shocked and disappointed.”
"An average of six drones a day are being intercepted" near Olympics sites.
(Speaking of the Olympics, dancers scheduled to participate in the opening ceremony might strike)
Weta announced Lore Olympus figures and the statue sold out instantly
I've only read a few volumes-worth in the webtoons app, but it's a terrific comic--not convinced from that angle the vinyl figure nailed Persephone. (Speaking of Weta, their latest releases are a super expensive Warhammer 40k statuette, stylized figures of Beetlejuice and Lydia, and a whole line of Lord of the Rings monster skulls.)
💙💗COMING SOON 💗💙
