Yeah, I know I'm going through more of those Pinterest templates... But aside from that, does Lady Unicorn remind ya of Cutie Honey? Well, to me it does. And look at my previous about her if you're unfamiliar with her.

As you can see, this is my fanart blog on where I post new and old fanart(s) of mine related to Animaniacs, Gummibär the Gummy Bear and much more! Plus, I don't do commissions at the moment but, you can give me suggestions (like requests) on what I can do if you want. Even I will be posting my PriPara 3DS coord designs alongside posting "DeviantArt-like" memes/journals on this very blog. And also, read about the stuff on the right corner as you scroll down if you want to send a request for me.

So, "What's this?" that you might be asking towards yourself, for starters, it is a magical girl story that was made outside of Japan (and isn't the first when you lookback at something like Lolirock as an example) and it was created by Marco Albireo... Yes, that very same guy that brought you of bringing back the Sailor Moon 90's anime art style for official merchandise/home media Viz releases as of today (aside from the 2000's and 90's merch). And speaking of Lolirock for one last time, did you know that Marco did the comics for Lolirock and also putting the Lolirock princesses if they had the 90's Sailor Moon art style? Just had to mention that.
Anyway, back to Lady Unicorin!
For those that didn't look up on what this one-shot story is about, here's the synopsis:
Note: Screenshot taken from this site. Not to mention that this one-shot is only in the #3 one.
On what I like about the synopsis is:
1. It's nice to see a magical girl inherit another magical girl's powers when after the original user passed away to make things fresh that you don't usually see the typical magical girl anime do that. But thankfully it also doesn't follow the rules similarly to the whole "Soul Gem" thing in Madoka Magica because, once that Soul Gem breaks, you're dead.
2. The return of the solo magical girl protagonist ever since the days of Shugo Chara or Princess Tutu were considered "new" at the time! But I also know about the much older solo magical girl protagonists like Minky Momo, Creamy Mami, Pastel Yumi, Magical Angel Sweet Mint, Magical Emi, and the Magic Fairy, Persia to say some of them at least. Even though I don't watch any of these animes as much (aside from Princess Tutu being mentioned so far since it was a childhood anime of mine that I should rewatch someday).
3. Should I mention that this is magical girl story that isn't aimed at kids unlike a lot of magical girl anime shows are today? And you'll see on what I've meant about that as I'll get to Lady Unicorn's civilian identity within a second here... Aside from using "magical lipstick" that could be advertised as a kids' toy (as makeup products are still likely a thing within the magical girl genre of today as if you look at Japan on how they treat Sailor Moon and Precure at times), but instead of getting your usual teenage protagonists like with Sailor Moon, Precure (mostly), Cardcaptor Sakura, Nurse Witch Komugi R (not to be confused with the original NWK anime), and etc., you actually get a magical girl protagonist who's actually in their middle 20's! 25, that is. Plus, I should mention that Sarah's a graphic designer who was also coming out of a bad, toxic relationship as she's now single for three years. But she even has thing going on for someone, as she secretly loves on a new marketing director that she saw.
Despite there isn't that much about this one-shot manga story (as it's still new at the same time as I'm writing this out), I thought this was going to worth to be a shot if I actually got to read the whole thing someday! But I saw some pages online (especially one of the pages told us about Sarah like I've just said as it can be viewed online if you wanna translate it yourself through Google reverse image search). But once I get the whole story to share someday, I possibly translate it if it doesn't get translated for some years. Even I think I'm more interested into this than something like: "Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl" since I'm not that interested into it... Especially when that one has one of the laziest Sailor Moon references that I ever did saw before.

While featuring Necky the Fox, of course! I just thought that he deserved this edit of showing off his "silly side" in some way. Even when he starts to wear glasses (since he did wear glasses on some covers than just once), it gives me AniMat vibes lol.

Perhaps it won't likely get it... Especially if it was released by Sentai Filmworks with the subs and dub on how they mainly handle Blu-rays only instead of DVDs nowadays. But it would've been cool to see that happen for some reasons though.

Well, at least I took a bit of a break when it came to these headcanons... But man, it feels like I just can't stop thinking about this freakin' cartoony fox for some reason lol. Even I'm fleshing out his "what-if voice" in my canon and it's inspired on how British singers like Ozzy Osbourne (RIP "The Prince of Darkness") and Phil Collins have more of this American tone whenever they sing instead of using their British tone. But instead of sounding like an American at times, Necky sounds more Japanese than English just to really show that he is definitely part Japanese for his heritage.

Especially on Necky's case when it comes to the eyes tho!
And as to what certain Chuck E. Cheese as I'm specifically referring to, it's the debut of the "Avenger" design on how he looked like that through the commercials only (despite they actually called him "Cool Chuck" back in the late 90's there)... But as for Necky, he literally did debut like that while also cosplaying one of Mickey Mouse's famous appearances as Mickey was the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" in Fantasia as it was from issue 7 released back in September 5th, 1986 that you can find Necky's first ever appearance in before he would become the main mascot for a lot more issues to come.
P.S. Meme made by yours truly and I'm NOT gonna make a template based off of it.
And I just love the clothing that he wears within one of those Famitsu covers that was about the Nintendo 3DS! Speaking of the 3DS, I guess I'm not the only one who thinks it's much better than the Switch 2. Even I was one of those people that wasn't impressed by it.

Yeah, yeah... I know I messed up on the title a bit, but whatever! And if you know this one by now, well, it's a bit of an unoriginal idea, but I wanted to make my own version based on Necky alongside with those headcanons that I've thought of to flesh him out (as you can look up those headcanons to know more about them if you'll like). Unlike the Warners (when you first meet them since they're basically the same no matter when you meet them honestly... Unless they're scared of you if you're somebody like Baloney the Dinosaur or Elmyra Duff), he's more likely "less zany" on how he comes towards you when you first meet him as he has this "cool, mature adult-like" attitude instead of being already zany on the go. And the character that came to my mind as I was trying to think about was Buzz Lightyear right after when he "snapped out" on being the whole "Space Ranger" thing as I was thinking on how Necky could've been like him throughout the ending of the first, throughout the 2nd movie, 3rd movie, and holiday specials mainly AKA "Toy Story of Terror!" and "Toy Story That Time Forgot" (despite I know that I got a pic of Buzz when he was still as a "Space Ranger" within the meme).
But sometime after as Necky warms up to you, he'll start to go "childish" when you talk about the things that he's into like video games, comedy and food (to say a few) the more you would possibly talk about them. So yeah, something like one of those "autistic-coded" characters you tend to see some people talking about some examples out there online. Even I think the Warners are likely within that category as well the more you start to think about it (as Kyle Whaley/AGiLE-EaGLE1994 would've told me by now).
P.S. About the 4th Toy Story that I didn't mention, they suddenly made Buzz more of a "doofus" relying on his buttons to suddenly become his "inner voice" to make his own decisions in that one and the fact that he didn't disguise himself pretty well within the fair scene that he was in when there was a crowd-full of people unlike within another certain scene within one of the previous movies on where he was hiding in one of the cones alongside with the other toys to get somewhere... And that's like a few to say throughout of Toy Story 4's many flaws that I'll just say for now.
I mean, just look at the suits that Necky has! And I also think he would wear the purple suit(s) like the reboot Warners did! Even I think he's just spoiled the way that he wears those suits at times. But hey, you gotta look your best for something big towards ya!

P.S. Necky pulled his looks off quite well within those images... And I wanted to get a better image of the silvery-white one (since I did saw one with all the text and background being gone to have a much better look at his appearance but I'll probably find it next time).
Well, this is bit of a quick crossover edit that I've did... But I've tried to do that Necky render by myself (even though it didn't came out well 100%).

I know I should've made this one before I just recently made the Glove and Boots one just to get that one out of the way, but you know, I recently had to watch the movie (alongside with a few of the episodes as I'm writing this out so far) to get my own opinion on it. And to me, the movie isn't the funniest from what that I've seen lately, but it does have its moments to be funny... Especially near the ending like with the giant toast and coffee scene on where Steven was eating the toast at a pretty fast rate before he just goes to work. And I gotta say that "Surfin' Frog" song by Dinoysos is a pretty good song that also plays at the end that has me keeping repeating that song even before I watched the full movie! Even I felt bad for Jeanine when the Policeman took Steven away for no real reason when Steven wasn't the thief all along as he tried to say so.
Other than that, the movie's worth a watch if you wanna see more stop motion that you haven't seen before that's likely underrated (even if they're not the "best made" stop-motion figures compared to something like Aardman's characters)... And if you're also into random nonsensical humor to give ya a pretty good laugh or more, then you might have a blast with this one! As for the fandom, many people outside of France and Belgium isn't a whole lot when it comes to the fans out there (such as the US for example) as it's not really known outside of those countries as I've already mentioned.
P.S. And I have to thank AniMat once again for mentioning this movie.

Well, they used to have a "active fandom" back in the day when they were still uploading videos like five years ago. And I pretty much still miss them to this day on how they're basically the funniest puppets out there that's like the Muppets! But it's such a shame that they got screwed over by YouTube (due to COPPA for trying to keeping children safe at the time and with the whole "puppets are for kids" thing that people like Jim Henson would absolutely DESPISED something like that being said even if he was still alive). But who knows when if Glove and Boots would really have a sudden comeback someday (since you can read the main TV Tropes page for all the current reasons as to why that comeback wouldn't possibly happen, unfortunately). As it's been a long while since their last video, I just have a feeling that it's getting much harder to find the fandom nowadays.
All I can say is, Mario, Fafa, and some others out of the gang did a fantastic job to give me a good laugh whenever I needed it sometimes.

Well, since it's been a while that I've used one of my older templates (that's like a year-old now as I'm writing this)... And if we're not gonna get Yakko, Wakko, and Dot figures within this style, why not something like him instead? I'll gladly take him! Especially that the Famitsu magazine series will hit its 40th anniversary next year as I would be happy to see this guy get more merch down the road (since he doesn't have a whole lot of merch and it's likely pretty hard to get honestly).
Well, I'm still developing Astra's character to this day (as I'm writing this out), but here's what she looks like again alongside being paired up with Cosmo since I think they would be good friends since they both share a cosmic aesthetic. But I assume Astra's personality would be different from Cosmo's as well, and I'll probably talk about that later on whenever I mention Astra again.
Even I'm glad that they recently added a feature on where you can put another idol in that isn't one of the players/MyCharas.
Well, at least for now from what I can say... And look, an Eiffel 65 song being mentioned that isn't "Blue (Da Ba Dee)". Speaking of E65, I was a fan of them ever since I was teen back in the middle 2010's. And I thought that song could be fitting for Necky (since he's a mascot for a magazine series about video games).
Anyway, as to why I mentioned that galaco song, I thought it was an underrated VOCALOID song (that isn't sung by Miku, of course) and it was also a bit of a fun idea to throw that in with the "pan-pan" wordplay of it all.

Well, not too long ago, I was playing around with this website to get more headcanons: https://perchance.org/character-headcanon-generator-improved as with this time, they're much sillier and shorter than the ones than I write out. And to me, I think some of these could be canon (especially the ones that are more on the bottom that are more likely to happen than the ones up above).
So, here are the ones that I screenshotted and saved the ones that I pretty much loved the most (and some of the generated ones that I got were honestly dumb or too weird as I'm not gonna include every single result so far)...
Well, as Necky basically cosplays Mario out of the rest of the video game characters on the many of the Famitsu covers that I've looked up so far, this could very much likely happen if Necky got an actual collab with Mario within the games (aside from the one that's Super Mario Maker). 👆
In my canon, these are his favorite foods that I'm gonna introduce them to ya! But someday, (if he is ever gonna have his own anime), I think it would be cool to see this be "official" if that's ever gonna happen. And it would be nice to tag "fay ..." but I'm not on Pinterest as I'll link their template down below. And speaking of that template, I thought that template was better than the ones made on DeviantArt (since they just look a bit bland honestly). Even I still think Necky is one of the most overlooked characters that I've seen so far.

And to check out part one, look up on my blog to see the first batch of headcanon ideas! But anyway, these are just more ideas in my mind if I was the one that "expanded" Necky's character to be something more than just a face on a magazine cover.

Well, I just needed a bit of a break before posting this other birthday event for a few reasons for this blog alone (outside of real life as they'll be a bit more reasons there)... Anyway, here's every playable character wearing different "cosmic" coords~.
And that's basically it for now! Even I got Garuru/Gaaruru this time unlike with the previous batch that I've missed out.
Yeah, now I'm mentioning that one cartoon from the original Animaniacs cartoon again since I pretty much like that one for some reason...
