Disney World will put your holographic face on a Tron action figure for $90
Disney is pushing out new Tron merchandise despite the 13 years since the last movie (not to mention the four decades since the original). Although another sequel — this one with Jared Leto — may be in the works, the toys coincide with the Disney World opening of Tron Lightcycle / Run, the high-speed ride that debuted at Shanghai Disneyland in 2016. The action figures are customized using the park’s Tron Identity Program to display your scanned face on an LCD hidden behind the figure’s visor.
The Tron Identity Program will digitize visitors’ facial features, including six lines of recorded dialogue. The LCD on the resulting figure will show your scanned face, and pressing a button on the chest will play back your recorded lines. Your custom identity is stored on a memory card that you can swap into other Tron toys that Disney hopes you’ll buy.
Custom action figures are about as old as modern 3D printing, but the holographic approach has the advantage of much quicker turnaround times. Since it doesn’t require plastic molding, Disney World visitors can have their toy in hand in around 16 minutes. By comparison, Hasbro’s Selfie Series can take 45 to 60 days to ship to you, although you don’t have to visit Florida to get one of those.
If you have a Disney World trip planned, you can reserve a time with the Tron Identity Program beginning on March 21st. A custom figure will cost $90, which is $30 more than Hasbro’s (non-LCD, non-Florida) custom figures.

I’m unapologetically fat – trolls tell me to ‘wear Spanx’ but I flaunt my figure in bikinis instead
A PLUS SIZE woman has been slammed by trolls who tell her to “wear Spanx,” but she refuses and flaunts her figure in bikinis instead.
Abby Bible, a self-proclaimed “unapologetic fat gal and fashion lover,” is not letting the haters get her down.
As a result of her stylish outfits and optimistic attitude, Bible has garnered a huge following.
Though her social media platforms are overflowing with love, Bible does have to deal with the occasional troll.
She chooses to face the hate head-on, sometimes sharing the comments with her loyal followers.
In one of her videos, she shared that people often give their two cents about the type of underwear they think she should be wearing.
“The amount of people telling me I need to wear a bra and Spanx lately is ABSURD,” she wrote.
She then said that all she wants to do is “free the t***ies.”
Bible isn’t afraid to show off some skin. She previously posted a photo in a micro bikini on Instagram.
She captioned the snap: “We need to see more fat girls on yachts ASAP.”
Previously, Bible also uploaded a photo of her eating a hot dog, already anticipating the spew of hate she was bound to receive from trolls.
“I love the power of knowing how many people will get pissed off a fat person is gleefully eating a hot dog on the internet,” she wrote.
In another photo caption, Bible thanked her supporters.
She wrote: “So I hit 50k [followers] yesterday?!? It is mind-blowing to me that anybody wants to hear about my life or my fashion choices.
“Sometimes I get so discouraged by how hateful people on the internet can be, but knowing that I could make at least one person smile or take a baby step towards loving themselves more, makes it all worth it.
“So thank you all for being here.”
Bible’s Instagram is a safe space and inspiration for women who are trying to feel confident in their own skin.
While challenging societal norms, Bible shows people that style is boundless, encouraging them to experiment with their own pieces.
All the while, she is getting out of her comfort zone as well.
“For so many years, I was hesitant to wear sneakers and no makeup out,” she once said in a caption.
“I thought I had to constantly look ‘put together’ as a fat person. But y’all… fat people are allowed to be casual too!”
She added: “Years ago I would’ve never worn something oversized in fear of looking bigger. Aka my own internalized fatphobia.
“But fashion is way more fun when you stop worrying about what’s ‘flattering’ and instead wearing what simply brings you joy.”
Bible’s content positively influences thousands of people, who make this clear via comments on her photos.
“Your whole page gives me the confidence to be unapologetically myself and I love it. You’re beautiful!” one person wrote.
“We have a similar body type and you inspire me to dress how I want!!!” added another.
Campers Encounter HUGE BIGFOOT & BRIGHTLY LIGHTED FIGURE in California’s High Sierras
A group of friends went hiking and camping in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. On the second night, they encounter a huge Bigfoot and an unknown brightly lighted figure.
The following account was told to me. It had been a part of an older unknown podcast:
“In the spring of 1988, my boyfriend and I, along with other college friends, decided to spend our whole spring break hiking and camping in the Sierra Nevada mountains. One of our friend’s fathers grew up in that area and recommended a spot for us to go to near a place called Round Lake. We hiked into the mountains and had a beautiful view of the lake. There were seven of us on that trip. We were only going to be there for a couple of days.
At about 8 PM on the second day, we had our dinner and we were just finishing up the dishes. One of the other couples went for a walk with the excuse of finding a spot to watch the sunset. Yeah, right. Well, an hour or so later they came running back into camp saying that they saw a ‘monster.’ They said that they were on an overhang on the side of the mountain. They were sitting on the rock ledge just chatting when they noticed a pine tree start shaking wildly. The trees weren’t tightly packed in that area, and there were many bare spots. So the pine tree that was shaking was only in a small patch. As they were sitting and watching it they would catch glimpses of a large black figure. They thought that was a bear. Then the shaking tree stopped. Then they saw the weirdest-looking bear come running out of the woods but it wasn’t running normally. It was deformed he thought because it was propelling itself forward with its front legs instead of using its back legs.
As they continued watching they realized that it wasn’t a bear but, as one of them described it “the biggest freaking chimp I’ve ever seen!” Then it went from mid-stride on all fours to casually walking on two feet. It stopped and stared out over the valley and then plopped down on its butt with its back to them. They said that it was at least five and a half feet tall sitting down. It had seen them but it didn’t care that they were behind it.
My boyfriend said that sounds like a Bigfoot. After he said that everyone piped up, wanting to go and see it. So the whole group walked to the spot. Well, by that time it was gone. My boyfriend was staring off into the distance and said, “Do you guys see this?” We all look towards the dark sky to the east and there were spinning lights, but whatever held these lights could not be seen. The lights stopped and at that moment we all heard a loud moan to the right of us that seemed to go on for about 45 seconds or so. When the moan stopped it was followed by a higher-pitched “whoop” and then the spinning light started again. This seemed to go on for maybe a minute. Again, when they stopped a moan started again and this time it came from the left of us. Again it ended in a “whoop.” When it stopped we all looked at where the lights had been and we all clearly noticed that the lights were much closer to us. We were all amazed by it. Then again when the light stopped the moan started to the right of us.
This continued on, but each time the lights were getting closer to us. It started coming from all around us, even above us further up the mountain. We were all freaked out and someone suggested that we should get back to camp.
When we got back to camp, we should have packed up and left. But for some reason, we all thought our campsite would somehow protect us. We talked about our cool experience but not one of us said maybe we should leave the area. We continued chatting about the experience. I don’t recall feeling fear yet, oddly enough, someone said he saw something in the woods darting from tree to tree. Someone asked if it was Bigfoot. But my friend said it was glowing a silvery white color and was only four feet tall. Then he yelled “Look! It’s right there!” We were scanning the woods and all feeling a little freaked out. I saw the look of shock on my boyfriend’s face, so I looked where he was looking and I saw the silvery white being eight to ten feet up the tree with its hands holding onto the trunk. The light from the fire wasn’t lighting up the whole tree so what I saw wasn’t very clear but it did have five fingers that appeared to have suction cups on the tips. I saw one side of its bulbous head and one eye. The eye was large like the size of a baseball. The head was the size of a large party balloon.
Minutes later we all heard a large crack of a tree limb. One of the guys said he thought he could see red eyes glowing. He said it moved back behind the tree. Then all of a sudden one of the girls screamed. We all jumped in fright! We looked in the direction where she was looking. There it was! A Bigfoot! It was standing there staring at us as it just swayed back and forth. We all estimated that it was well over 11 feet in height! It was breathing very heavily. Its mouth was pursed in a downward position. It inhaled through its nose and then exhaled and as it exhaled it growled loudly. Then we heard the sound of the brush move and a bright lighted figure appeared. We watched as the Bigfoot turned and walked out of the campsite toward the figure. That was our chance to go! None of us packed! We just ran for the cars and left!
A few of us went back the next day to get our stuff. Nothing was touched, not even the coolers of food. None of us, as far as I know, ever went back to the location. Most of us still keep in touch, but we rarely ever talked about that night.”

I’m plus-size – I found the best corset from Urban Outfitters to flatter my figure, I bought it in multiple colors
TIGHT, form-fitting tops are all the rage – but finding one that makes you feel confident and comfortable is tricky.
TikTok plus-size fashion queen Remi Bader claimed she finally found the best corset from Urban Outfitters, so she bought it in multiple colors.
Remi’s authentic and hilarious character has gained her the support of over two million followers on TikTok.
The honest creator pokes fun at photoshoots and laughs off unrealistic brand sizing.
But no matter what, Remi’s followers trust her opinion when she says a product is worth purchasing.
She posted a recent video revealing her recent purchase that included two corsets, and she’s obsessed with them.
“Guys. Please run and don’t mother freaking walk to get this,” Remi exclaims.
The plus-size style master smiles as she steps back to show her full outfit.
She’s wearing dark wash flare jeans and a V-cut berry-colored lace corset.
The corset is the $65 Out From Under Venus Dark Romantic Convertible Corset in an XL.
She screams: “I’m sorry! This is stunning, stunning, crazy talk.”
The back is low-cut with two adjustable straps.
Remi loves it so much she pulls out the second one she got in a nude color.
“Hi, Urban. I am coming to every last New York City store to get every color,” Remi says as she pretends to call the store.
She rips off the tag and throws it to the floor. She’s keeping them.
Remi’s eager followers commented on their excitement.
“I’ve never been more influenced Remi,” one amazed shopper said.
Another viewer wrote: “You look sheer perfection in this outfit.”
“I NEED,” one woman commented.
