Non-Sport Coolness 3

Another Marvel product here called Marvel Vision. I know Iron Man but not the other characters.
 There are three Iron Man cards in a row! It looks like the cards feature the X-Men, Fantastic 4, Spider-Man, and Iron Man. The Encryptalyzer can be used with the mini-magazine insert below.


 The cards are cool, if just serving as character cards.
They'd be so much better if they were scenes from actual comic book or movie stories.
 The next pack is called Razor. It has some pretty graphic images and more barely-clothed ladies.
 A hacker girl! I can relate to her! And I just noticed that she has a Totoro toy sitting next to her computer! That's actually really cool.
 No idea what's going on.
 No idea at all. It's like Batman, and Teen Wolf, with women.
Isn't she afraid of her hair catching fire with all those candles laying around?

Non-Sports Coolness 2

 The first pack today is something from the Lady Death series. This must be Lady Death herself. The card on the left is actually a sticker.
 Last time I was standing on a mountain of skulls...
 I'm not too impressed with this pack. But next should be great!
 This is a pack of Heavy Metal cards, using movie images "and more!" The card on the left is a special chromium card.


 Storyboard art?

 I haven't seen Heavy Metal in a very long time. I didn't enjoy it that much when I first saw it. But after seeing the South Park episode that pays homage to the movie, I would like to watch it again.


I was hoping for something more exciting in that pack, but it was okay anyway. Maybe after watching the movie again I'll appreciate the cards more.

Non-Sports Coolness 1

Since I'm still in Korea when this post goes live, I'm setting it (and the rest in this series) before-hand. I found each of these packs for 10 yen each, though there don't seem to be any more.
 Released by Krome Productions, this set is titled Evil Ernie II, I think. I don't know anything about it, but once I opened the pack I was greeted by several scantily clad ladies.
 They don't look very nice, though.
 I wouldn't want to cross either of their paths.
 Ooh! A contest! Oh, it ended in 1995.
 This is my favorite card, since it's more cartoonish. That must be Evil Ernie himself.
 Next, a 10-card pack of Marvel Onslaught, under the Fleer Ultra name.
 I know Storm!
 There's a small coloring book inside.

 Hulk! I remember the 1980s show! And that really bad movie.
I pulled a random card. Or a Random card. Lots of X-Men characters in this pack!
