The English Toy Spaniel is also known as the King Charles Spaniel. There are several variations of the color in this breed. The “Ruby” is a whole color, all rich red. The “Blenheim” is chestnut markings, broken, on a white background. The ears must be chestnut in color and surrounding both eyes, with a white blaze and a chestnut spot in the middle. The “Tricolor”, known as the “Prince Charles” is jet black markings on a white background with tan markings over the eyes, on the cheeks, inside the ears and on the underside of the tail.
The “Black and Tan” is known as the “King Charles” and is a black coloring with tan markings similar to the placement of the markings of the Prince Charles variety. Regardless of color, the head is the most important characteristic of this little dog, it must have a “dome skull” with large round eyes and well turned up nose. In the United States the breed is shown in two varieties and is known as the English Toy Spaniel. One variety consists of the colors of Blenheim and Prince Charles competing in the same class, the other variety is the King Charles and Ruby colors.
When the breed became noticed by the court of King Charles, it became quite fashionable to carry these little spaniel dogs around. Furthermore this breed, developed exclusively as a lap dog, was quite content to do nothing except lie around. They were highly prized for the striking appearance of their faces and expression and the cute “turn up” nose.
In fact the head became of such importance that at early dog shows there were exhibitors who carried the dog and it was judged solely on its head rather than on the movement. There were even some events at which the dog won solely on the basis of its head “furnishings” and never was walked in the ring. It became evident that breeders placing so much emphasis on head had developed a breed that was not sound of leg and body, often it was bow legged. Later on more breeders did begin to place more emphasis on the bone and structure and now the King Charles standard requires a longer stride and should move straight and true.
The head of the English Toy Spaniel is quite large and sometimes a natural birth is not possible. Caesarian Sections are sometimes the only way this breed can be born. Also this little dog can have a predisposition to Luxating Patella, a condition which causes the kneecap to slip, this can be a very painful and debilitating condition. It is important that breeders continue to strive to reduce these two problems of the breed. Of most importance in this and others of the Toy group is the notion that the overly developed head should be so highly prized as to prevent natural birth. It is the opinion of most responsible breeders of today that breeds that can not survive the process of a natural birth should be eliminated from the genetic pool.
The character of this little dog is pleasant and non energetic. He is a good dog for the elderly as he is quiet and loves nothing better than to lie in someone’s lap. He more than lives up to the description “lap dog”.

Bakugan Battle Brawlers is an action adventure television series that first started in Japan. The anime cartoon was soon developed for the United States and began airing on Cartoon Network in 2008. It’s now become quite popular and the related toys and games are very popular amongst children ages 5 and up.

The Bakugan Battle Brawlers is played with the Bakugan figures and the metal cards that reveal the player that is hidden inside the marbles. If you remember Pokemon you will find many similarities with the Bakugan battles. When a player has the most powerful Bakugan he is the winner of the battle. If both monsters are equally strong then the special ability cards make their appearance to decide which one will be the winner with the extra points that they give.

The game is very simple, yet involves strategy. To play you’ll need a battle arena or other game board on which you’ll position your metal Gate cards. The object of the game will be to capture three of your opponents Gate cards.

Every Bakugan Battle Brawlers 6 pack has six figures, eight metal cards and a special foil card. These are enough for two players to play the game. You can also buy the launchers that will enable you to shoot the Bakugan into the game field easier. Also, you can get a professional battle arena. In other packs you can get a single figure and card that can be used in the game.

The game is mainly for children between 5 and 9 years old. Children younger than that should be careful because there are small parts that they can swallow and choke.If you are looking for some great fun then this is the game for you. The great thing is that children can also exchange with their friends cards and players so that they won’t have to buy new parts all the time.

The gurus hate it when their personal secrets about Bakugan get exposed! Now they’re fuming mad about this site Bakugan and trying to shut it down.

  Oh, those artists. They’ll use anything they can get their hands on. Billboards, buildings, posters, and shirts. Sneakers, hats, skateboards, and semi trailers.   And let’s not forget about the Munny.   The Munny is a vinyl toy that visual artists use to fill the world’s blank spaces with their particular brand of expression. A graffiti artist views the dull gray wall on the backside of a Piggly Wiggly as an enticing canvas. An enterprising artist recognizes that a new pair of high tops, detailed with the right amount of hip design, can trampoline an art career into a better time zone.   And just about any artist can take the Munny, a chubby doll with an oversized head and cartoonish ears, and turn it into a unique character, a diminutive reflection of his tastes and sensibilities.   That such a trend should occur does not come as a surprise, especially in an art world that is ravenous for new and different forms of expression, as well as society’s current fascination with building alternative versions of ourselves and our communities online.   But what is surprising is the genuine sense of excitement the Munny dolls elicit, the childhood glee that burns in the eyes of someone who has just opened a box containing one of these three-dimensional canvases.   It’s with this sense of excitement that B’zar, the hip clothing store on Upper King Street, has spearheaded a campaign of Munny artwork. Culling 30 artists from Charleston and beyond, B’zar has planned for this Friday night a live auction at Redux Contemporary Art Center that will showcase these highly stylized dolls. “We support new ideas,” says Gustavo Serrano, owner of B’zar, “especially ones that give artists a chance to work on something they are all really into.”   Serrano will do the fast talking as the auctioneer. All proceeds go to support Redux’s After School Outreach program. A DJ’s beats will fill the air. There might be a dark room for the glow-in-the-dark Munnys. And artists will be on hand to discuss how their Munny’s personality and look came to be.   Experimental in its approach, the Munny, which in this case is made by a company in New York called Kidrobot, offers artists a chance to shake free from their inhibitions, to flesh out a thought or feeling or idea that otherwise might not find its way into a more traditionally serious piece.   But the Munny’s canvas, with its rolling contours and unbalanced shape, has distinct challenges as well.   “I made one the last time, and it was really tough,” Serrano says. “This time I said I’ve got my own Munny (points to his little boy, Mateo), so you guys go on without me.”   The people involved in this charitable, carefree event have an opportunity that is equally unique — that is, they can examine, prod, speculate on what all this Munny business means, albeit with a sense of humor and camaraderie.   But you have to wonder if the mainly young participating artists feel such a strong connection to the Munny because of some nostalgic high — a feeling akin to opening presents on Christmas morning.   After all, each Munny arrives with a bag of mysterious goodies used to accessorize the doll. Once the dolls become their distinctive selves, they become an extension of their owners, enabling these hip grown-ups to get in touch with their unhip and more innocent inner child.   Even so, with proceeds helping real kids enjoy the splendors of childhood, and such talented artists as Kevin Taylor, Jarod Charzewski, Sheepman, and Christina Rodino coming into town from across the U.S., it’s plain to see that a little playtime still goes a long way.   “Each time you open one, you’re like, ‘What’s going to be inside?’” Serrano says. “‘What am I going to get?’”

So what is Godzilla you ask? To find the answer to this question you must go back to the beginning…

One dark night in 1954, Toho producer Tomoyuki Tanaka was on a plane thousands of feet above the waves of the Pacific Ocean. Toho’s most recent idea for a movie had been shelved and he needed to come up with a new idea quickly. As he stared down at the sea below him, an idea struck him: what if a giant monster rose from the depths to attack Tokyo!? With the great success of giant monster movies such as King Kong and The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, such a movie was a stroke of genius. Soon, with the assistance of a team of now legendary men, including director Ishiro Honda, score master Akira Ifukube, and special effects man Eiji Tsuburaya, they began to make their movie. But the creature needed a name. Though it will forever be unknown exactly how the name came about and myths will circle it eternally, the Japanese words gorira (gorilla) and kujira (whale) were combined and the beast became known as Gojira, which in turn became, in the west, Godzilla.

The original Gojira was a radioactive lizard trying to destroy humanity. He was then dissolved in weird foam in his first movie by humanity, destroyed like all the other monsters we’ve come to know from that time period of cinema. Yet, he came back for more movies. Movie after movie, the huge demon’s size and manner seemed to change. His strengths, intelligence, weaknesses, and some of his abilities were subject to change as well. Sometimes being as smart as a human, communicating with other monsters, other times being animalistically smart. From hero to villain to hero in movies that seemed to barely keep anything straight. In one movie he breathed his signature bad breath to destroy what remained of Tokyo after appearing to fight a monster even more bent in tearing the city apart as a joke to consistent fans about his inconsistencies. Sometimes the reason he can fight armies is because of a hard carpace, other times because of some hyper-healing ability. Not even his blood can stay the same, sometimes green when he bleeds. Other times, red like everything else.

Because the first two films were in black and white, American poster makers went with their own instincts and painted the Big G a deep forest green. Enter King Kong Vs. Godzilla, his first colour feature, and lo and behold, the radiation spawn is charcoal gray. Too late to stop the merchandising mishaps: to this day almost every model, toy and comic book still paints him the colour of money.

Godzilla (or Gojira, ???) refers to a series of kaiju (strange beast or monster), or more specifically Daikaiju (giant monster), films made in Japan. Godzilla is believed to have originally been intended by Toho to represent the United States of America (being superior in its destructive capability) and took the form of a radioactive prehistoric reptile. Given that his origin (in the 1954 film) was the ocean, Godzilla can be considered not just a monster, but a sea monster. Godzilla died at the end of the original 1954 film. Subsequent films in the series ret conned the first movie by assuming that Godzilla wasn’t killed, and that the body of the monster was never found.

The series was revamped in 1985 with “Godzilla 1985″; this movie was created as a direct sequel to the 1954 film, and ignores the continuity of the previous sequels. Known as the Heisei series (for the ruling emperor of the time), the continuity ended in 1995’s Godzilla vs. Destroyah after a run of seven films. The reason for the continuity shift was based on a realization that the marketing of the movies had removed the reason it was so loved. When it was discovered that Godzilla was popular with children, sequels were toned down in obvious screen violence, and Godzilla was made out to be a good guy instead of an indestructible abomination of the mistakes of Man. Characters such as “son of Godzilla” (a diminutive chubby replica who blew smoke rings) were introduced. However, the further Godzilla was taken away from his roots, the less popular he became. Hence, Godzilla 1985 brought the series back to form.

Depending on your opinion, either the 1970s were not kind to Godzilla, or fans are not kind to the Godzilla of the 1970s. The films of that era are often dismissed as cheap, poorly made, and generally pathetic or childish. Godzilla was in full “super-hero” mode. Little kids in micro-shorts were running wild, but not nearly so in control as they were in the old Gamera films. A lot of serious Godzilla fans hang their heads in shame at the mere mention of some of these titles.

Contrary to what the English dub of the original Godzilla, King of the Monsters would have us believe, Godzilla was never “over 400 feet tall”. What follows is a history of Godzilla’s height, or correctly, increase in height. In the 1954 Japanese original, Dr. Yamane estimates that Godzilla is 50 meters tall (167 feet). Godzilla destroys Tokyo, but is later killed by the Oxygen Destroyer. A second Godzilla appears in the next movie: Godzilla Raids Again (1955). This creature is also 50 meters tall and would remain this size for the following Godzilla movies through to Terror or Mecha Godzilla (1975).

In 1984, Toho presented Godzilla (Godzilla 1985 in the U.S.) as a direct sequel to the 1954 original, thus ignoring the existence of the 14 other films in the series. At the same time, the height of the new Godzilla was increased to 80 meters (267 feet). Toho probably did this to make Godzilla appears more imposing alongside Tokyo’s modem skyscrapers. Godzilla is also 80 meters tall in Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989). In Godzilla vs. King Ghidora (1991), futurians attempt to prevent Godzilla’s creation. However, their complicated time-travel plan backfires, and Godzilla is reborn in 1992, now towering at 100 meters (334 feet). Godzilla is this size in Godzilla vs. Mothra, released in the U.S. as Godzilla and Mothra: Battle for Earth (1992) and the following sequels; Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla (1993), Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla (1994) and Godzilla vs. Destroyah (1995). When the series returned after the TriStar fiasco with Godzilla 2000, the King of the Monsters returned to the 80 meters (267 feet) version, and has stayed at that height ever since. These changes in Godzilla’s height has meant a little confusion for collectors, especially when trying to estimate Godzilla’s scale in relation to his height.
