    @toothaction - That interview was exactly what I was looking for. I knew there was a rational explanation for all this.

    I'm generally repelled by anything superhero in general, just because of the current public craze (although I am reading a Fantastic Four omnibus, which are the first [non-]cape comics I've read since I was a kid). On top of that, I've disliked anything DC since that time, too. Not sure I've read anything DC, but I dislike it. But, if I had a little more money to spread around, I would definitely feel no shame in owning that red Batmobile set. It's like a fantastic piece of pop art. That you can play with.

    Thanks for sharing this! Definitely brings back some nostalgia with early 90s toy commercials growing up.

    Just bought this one from my local ASDA. I couldn't resist, i wouldn't normally buy this kind of modern line but the sculpt is really well done and the price was right.

    ^ Ahhhhhh! I've stopped myself a dozen times from picking up that beautiful fella... amazes me every time when I see a dollie made with Otto Preminger's face on it! The fake Mego of him from FTC gets me all swollen and woozy too, but I know myself too well - if I let either one of those fabulous Freezies in the house, all their other '66 playmates will have to come over too. I stand strong because I am weak!!!

    ANYWAY... lookin' good, Rei!

    Shut up your mouse!

    Did you find him on the rack or in the aether? Either way, can't wait to see your action snaps!

    Oddest feeling experiencing twinges of jelly over a FUNKO chase... also, my hand keeps going invisible... THE SINGULARITY IS REAL!!!!

    This all gives me a nice excuse to bring this mail thread snap on over here:

    These toddler toys have been a surprisingly effective stopgap in keeping me from indulging in their taller, spendier cousins.

    Otto, all fuzzed out, is keeping it cool in the rear.

    You clearly have no space left for a Kracklepedia - which, let us be honest here, is a tragedy of truly epic proportions - so I will aid you in your many mighty troubles but offering to adopt that easy-come Spidey tome off you. :razz:

    Nice work on the pegmada, D! Very little monies well spent.

    Free to me, free to you, but would you mind covering ship? Looked it up, and a Ditkobus from Mitten to Wales is only $68.58! A medium flat rate box might be our best option, actually - $2.08 cheaper and I could throw in one of these little guys:

    Mind if I finish reading the book first, though?

    I is only kidding anyways, of course. The mere sighting (my first!) of just a portion of your forest there, makes me that much more determined to pay Michigania a visit, for toy library as well as reading library. (Well, me might as add food in there too, while we are at it. And probably some other stuff, which I will save from public mention.)

    Nice one!! You still have his weapon too, great stuff. It's always nice getting the toys again you had from childhood, but when you can reunite with the actual ones, well, that is something special. You definitely need a Rocksteady now, so the two troublemakers can get up to mischief together. Bebpop and Rocksteady were actually my very first TMNT characters, so I have very fond recollections of many imagined adventures with the pair of them, long before I saw the cartoon or had any other 'goodies' for them to interact with. In that way they developed a character set completely unique and unto themselves in my mind, and will always be that. :) Anyways, congratulations and thanks to your mom, Neil. That is a big hunk of vinyl, and that duo up front also made me smile (as did the Decepticon sandwiched between 'em).

    I saw this Batman toy at the store a couple of days ago and wanted to buy it, but my son in 4th grade said
    "Dad. it sucks." I have all 4 of the 3 count crushers and love them... so I want this too...

    Bats on the brain, 1939 style...

    First new dress-up dollie in a while, albeit one that's 17 years old. Articulated cape!


    I sorta blame Rei for my having pulled the trigger; his Freezie post from the other day got me all hot and bothered.

    That is certainly a lovely Bats, David. (even with the 'added' utility belt ;) ) I feel the green tinge coming to the surface a little. I can imagine the many fun adventures ahead for the two of you (or would that be three? Oh well, no matter.) Finger Batman forever!
