i'm just going to decline comment here...Matt should be smart and do the same...

i thought about that, but in the end i decided that the way i wrote it was the way _I_ would do things, knowing what (admittedly little) i know about marketing, and the figs in general. it's a calculated risk because there's a good chance i'm wrong. but what the heck, right? it's fun to play...

a good idea, but unfortunately HASBRO would never allow it. to be perfectly honest, my guess is that they're the real reason that Palisades can't do Dirth Nader and Piggy as Leia in the first place. Hasbro owns the rights to produce figures based on the Star Wars intellectual property...

well that's no fair...if they just came out and told you, it would spoil the anticipation, and then by the time it actually comes out it's a let-down. just trust that when they tell us, it'll be awesome

i see your point...

i havn't seen it yet, but i heard it was tweaked, and consequently spiffy looking. but there were two thoughts i had when i first looked Ash in the face, the first was that he looked like he'd been kicked...the second was that he was stoned and he didn't even say jehovah (i had just seen "Life...

my Optimus Prime story... 'tis a short story, so i might as well tell it... so, after much debate, i decided to pony up the $40 for Armada Prime. and then i shelled out $5 more for the 4 AA batteries that are needed to make it work. i get it home, spend the next 20 minutes just getting the...

personally, i'm a big fan of "Tribute" it's a great song, and then you realize there's a punchline, classic...that's really cool about the customizers coming from the SCS forum, though i guess it makes sense. so were you the guy that was with Jon at BotCon when i made an @ss of myself? i...

i met R.A. Salvatore (the author) at Celebration. i feel bad for the poor guy. the guys a very prolific and pretty respected author, but all he ever hears about is "how could you kill him?!" the saddest thing is that it wasn't even his idea...he was told "you get to kill Chewie" and that was...

only 24 more posts to go, and then you too can be a "real" bo...er, member...the magic number is 30...

heh...i saw "hemlock d" and immediately thought of "tenacious d"...maybe i should take that cd out for a change... really dug the article btw, but you guys are apparantly too good at your job. poor dr. tooth...

you have a definate point...but i can't figure who else it would be. maybe i'm completely off base, and they're gonna do stuff as megas before regular figures, anything's possible i guess. i'd be amazed if i found that were the case, though. any guesses as to who else they're gonna do? i...

something i just found out...composer/actor Paul Williams, who among a looooooooooong list of accomplishments can say that he wrote "The Rainbow Connection", and was on both the Muppet Show and in the Muppet Movie ALSO has his birthday on september 19th. thought people might wanna know...

i can't decide wether i'm horrified or find it hysterically funny...it's really an interesting feeling. for the record, i too have spent a little time in a costume...not as much as Luke, but as i've stated before i used to work for Zany Brainy...and they have a lot of "in-store" appearances...

let it never be said that mankind (or Muppetkind for that matter) has risen above the need for blackmail. as long as there is beer and a closeted attraction for someone of the same/opposite sex (depending on your current orientation...i have a friend who once drank himself straight), there will...

maybe i shoulda made with the bad fanfic quicker...this went from a good idea to the "watch Matt try and be smooth" hour... heh, maybe we should re-title this discussion "When good threads go bad!" (don't worry, Dr. Forrester will be back later tonight...but i was playing detective over in...

wow, when you make an obscure reference you really go all out. and by the way...ew...(it really took me like 2 minutes of staring at it before i got that joke) the thing is that i just read too many Batman comics...yeah, that's the ticket...or maybe it's just that i have no life, and so have...

i highly recommend the DVD...i just watched it again a little while ago (another sleepless night here) the character you're asking about was "Dirth Nader" (spelling?) and the joke was that it was Gonzo in a Darth Vader-type outfit. it was pretty funny! that DVD also has the episodes with Paul...

if you're gonna get the Lab and Bunsen at all, i'd do it ASAP. Palisades has completely sold their stock, so what you see now is IT. unless they go back and make a new batch, which would be a couple years from now if at all, this is the last you'll see of these in this form. there may be more...

but as we already know, Bunsen will be one of the Mega's too...so unfortunately that theory just doesn't hold water. personally, i get the feeling that they won't be putting out a mega until they have one at regular size (they have to have all sculpts approved by Henson, why start with new...
