Review and Media by Stu
When I originally heard that Mysterio appeared in one of the later Bashki episodes, I immediatly put the DVD in the player, hoping to see at least a half decent episode featuring my favourite villain from this show. What I got was the ultimate dissapointment.

Gone was the cape, no fishbowl to be found here, no smoke and mirrors. Instead, Mysterio had been replaced with a generic green skinned villain. The first season may have been utterly camp, but at least it was half decent. The later seasons simply suck. Terribly.

Such a waste...
