Hey all!
Many people disagreed with me when I said The Newsman was too short, but I think I may be able to proove my theory. Next time you see the Kenny Rogers ep. check out the Newsman's backstage scene. He's close to the height of Piggy. Now I could be wrong, but I still think he's a tad too short, blah blah blah . :big_grin:

How can the figure be too short when you don't even know how tall the figure actually is?

I think what Ken is aluding to (can one alude or is that wrong spelling?) is that the figure shown in the toy fair pictures is a prototype that is not to scale. All the figures vary in sizes. I think Janice was like 122% and the news man only like 105%. So, untill the actual to scale figures are seen there is no way to tell what the heights will be.

Actually, I thought it was kinda cool that Janice looks like "Attack of the 50-foot Janice".

(I think that's right!)


On an unrelated topic, in keeping with the theme of the first two "Star Wars" prequel titles, Episode III will be called "Attack Of The 50-foot Jedi"...

A 122% Janice would be about the right height for you, too! ;-)
