![]() His big goal was to get into the commercial toy business using the concept of animatronics and one of his first ideas was to make a monkey in honor of NASA and their early experiments with them in the early days of the space race. He started out working for Disney and then shortly worked for Sid & Marty Kroft who gave us a lot of LSD inspired entertainment…įorsee was big into animatronics and one of his first big projects was providing the animatronic characters on Welcome to Pooh Corner which would end up influencing the design of Teddy Ruxpin. Teddy Ruxpin was first created by a guy named Ken Forsee. The Creation of Teddy Ruxpin An original prototype- Sally Neiman/CNET O.K let’s take a deeper look at Teddy Ruxpin: ![]() So you can either read with your ears by listening to the podcast or continue with the blog! It tried to advance as the technology changed and is still connected with some pretty bizarre stories and history. Teddy Ruxpin has gone through a bunch of changes and has been owned by multiple companies. It’s still a real symbol of the ‘80s and surprisingly was the best selling thing for 85-86 which is really impressive when you think of this time as the golden age of toys. It was impossible to ignore from all the commercials but I think I still thought of it like a teddy bear and I was more concerned with G.I Joe or transformers at that point. I never had a Teddy Ruxpin growing up but remember it being a huge deal. Cheese, came out in 1985 and became the best selling toy of the mid-‘80s also leading to a cartoon show. It was a combination of many unique influences from Disney to Chuck E. Teddy Ruxpin was an animatronic children’s toy that could talk, and move its eyes and mouth while telling stories. Let’s just make it 75 because My Buddy deserves at least that.Talking toys are a dime a dozen now and we take the technology for granted but which toy in the mid ’80s was the orginator? Prior to the upcoming Child’s Play series coming in October from SyFy, Chucky’s kill count sits at 74. But, it didn’t have the effect the toymakers’ thought it would and My Buddy went completely off line in the 90s’ due to poor sales. Hasbro subsidiary Playskool continued manufacturing the doll into the 1990s, while changing up his look a bit to distance the toy’s legacy away from the Child’s Play series. Whether it was the kids themselves, or parents making that association, the My Buddy toy line suffered. He did NOT want that thing in his room anymore and unfortunately, that same scenario rang true for many other kids as well. However, shortly after seeing the movie, we got rid of those fuckin’ nightmare inducing wads of stuffing on the fact it resembled it TOO much and it did give my brother several nightmares. My younger brother had a My Buddy doll prior to the movie coming out, as I did as well with his sister companion. ![]() Just like with Freddy, every kid in the late 80s’ early 90s’ knew all about Chucky and we closely associated the plastic terror with the My Buddy doll. Chucky was directly inspired by My Buddy- who in turn, had a hand in the down-fall of the doll. I’m eternally grateful to have such a marvelous, witty, pint-sized horror maniac in the horror movie legends roster. I’m certainly not giving the guy (Mancini) any shit. ![]() It truly was the perfect combination for creating a memorable identity for a toy while cleverly referencing the doll’s name throughout the “earworm” so much so, all kids’ would remember the name My Buddy or Kid Sister when asking for an oversized bundle of plastic and stuffing with sewn-on clothing. In which case, was most certainly the biggest selling point of this doll. And neither did his off-shoot Kid Sister either- which I TOTALLY HAD.Īnd intro the theme song that will probably be stuck in your head the rest of the day. The My Buddy doll was officially stocked on store shelves in 1985 and actually sold fairly well – ranking in eighth place officially as the top-ten selling toys for that year. Up until Hasbro launched a market campaign with a doll, directly marketed to boys as, “ A little boy’s special friend! Rough and tough, yet soft and cuddly.” The boys had their GI JOES and HE-MAN, and that seemed to be the way it just was. Although considered non-gender specific, the dolls were mostly marketed towards little girls. In the earlier part of the decade, Cabbage Patch Dolls rules the ugly doll market with a mighty fist crushing any and all competitors that stood in their creepy, cabbage-dwelling way. Also, looking at this pair side-by-side, it’s beyond obvious we know where he got his look from. But My Buddy was in itself, was inspired by the Xavier Roberts’ line. Sure, the Cabbage Patch Kids as originally stated, served as some inspiration for good ol’ Chuck. Without skipping a beat, 80s’ kids know that My Buddy jingle- and we also know without a doubt, THIS, without a doubt, is the true inspiration behind the Child’s Play franchise.

Continue to drive it and keep check on oil conditions for water/oil mix? Hopefully damage to the gasket would not extend to a cylinder.Ģ. Do I have any options other than these.ġ. If all of this is correct, I see big bucks for this repair. Because of the test results up to this point, I believe the bottom of the cylinder head gasket is broken/damaged to the outside of the block and not to a cylinder. There is an oil leak reward in the valley probably from the cylinder head gasket. I do not believe that the coolant is coming from the valley on the top right of the engine because I can't find any moisture even near the thermostat housing. There is a wet trail to the rear of the freeze plug about 2" and to the front of the block and cylinder head. The freeze plug is recessed into the block and there is definitely no moisture around the plug itself. The leak is on the right side of the engine directly above the first freeze plug. The pressure did fall but only slightly faster than the 20 psi test. No evidence of leak at water pump weep hole. I pressurized the system to 25 psi, spun the engine with coil disconnected. The UV Dye is safe for engine, AC or oil systems, and can not be seen without UV light so no visible marks or trailsĬheck the Overflow/reservoir hose, mine had a small crack, where it ran on top of rad, and leaked only when hot, and coolant on rad evaporated pretty fastįound my first drops of engine coolant today. UV(ultra violet) Dye, you can get UV dye kit with UV flashlight, you add the dye to the coolant and run the engine for a few days, then in the dark use the UV flashlight to see if there is a dye trail leading to the leak point. You pump up the COLD cooling system to 20-25psi and watch for pressure to start dropping, and if it does then look for the coolant leaking out and dripping to the ground You can rent a pressure tester, basically a Rad cap with a gauge and a hand pump ![]() Its most likely to be an rad/engine leak since you don't see coolant on the ground, it is not leaking until system has pressure which is after coolant gets hot, so coolant is leaking at a place where it is evaporating before it can drip to the ground In this room, look for a large boss wight that will drop the Key to the Arena. This is the room with a ton of traps that are easy to avoid if you pay attention. ![]() Use the key to open the door that was previously locked. Don’t worry about placing them in the wrong spot because it doesn’t hurt much as long as you don’t let them stack.Īfter you defeat all three bosses and place the statues, you will get three key fragments that create the Inner Sanctum Key. There are three of them that drop statues that you must place on the correct spots on the map on the Inner Sanctum. In the statue room, you must go into each door to fight the bosses. Step 1: The Inner Sanctum Screenshot by Emily Medlock You must follow a few steps in the dungeon before reaching the Godbreaker armor stele. Watch for traps that can be seen when you get close as spikes sticking out of the ground or landmines. ![]() When you reach the Arena with the Arena Champion, I suggest using the stele to teach you Arena Champion’s Armor while you’re there. The Warmaker’s sanctuary has skeletons and wights that you must deal with before reaching the Godbreaker stele. What to Expect Screenshot by Emily Medlock After all, you can’t use some recipes until you’re max-level. I’d wait until I was at least level 50 or had a few max-level thralls or friends. You don’t have to head here the first time you reach Sepermeru. The Warmaker’s Sanctuary is located at Kael’s Stronghold, northeast of Sepermeru. To learn all three Godbreaker armor types, you must enter the Warmaker’s Sanctuary dungeon. Where to Learn Godbreaker Armor Screenshot by Emily Medlock But they also transfer durability when you’re hit to your weapon, which can prove valuable when you wield a legendary. The Godbreaker Boots are the piece that gives extra carrying capacity. Godbreaker Boots Screenshot by Emily Medlock But on top of that, the leggings increase stamina gained from each tick but don’t increase the frequency of ticks. The Godbreaker Leggings grant agility weapon damage, my favorite because I love daggers and katanas. Godbreaker Leggings Screenshot by Emily Medlock So if you use strength weapons, it’s a good idea to choose the gloves before the other pieces, especially the leggings. The grips are the only piece that grants extra strength weapon damage. Godbreaker Grips Screenshot by Emily Medlock This stacks with any other health regeneration that you have. The benefit of the Godbreaker Plate is that it heals you one HP every five seconds, which cannot be interrupted by taking damage. Godbreaker Plate Screenshot by Emily Medlock This includes protection from the hot sprints and gaseous orbs (which you may see in PvP.) The helmet also grants extra stamina. The helmet’s extra benefits include protection from noxious gas and sandstorms. Godbreaker Helmet Screenshot by Emily Medlock To do that, you need to know what each piece does to make the best decision. The Godbreaker armor has great stats as a set, but getting that full set won’t be easy. Godbreaker Armor Piece-By-Piece Screenshot by Emily Medlock
