If they were smart they would focus on figures Hasbro has NOT done in their 6" line already. That would allow them to poach business from people like me. I can't afford 6" duplicates at those prices.

Seriously, "Night of the Comet"?!?!

I thought that movie was asinine. I can think of a hell of a lot better ways to spend the impending apocalypse with two hot chicks than running around a shopping mall.

Human characters in regular clothes are painfully boring anyway.

I imagine the rights to stuff like Adventures in the Forbidden Zone, Buckaroo Banzai, Beastmaster, etc would be pretty damn cheap to pick up...any of those would be better choices IMHO.

I'm too stupid to figure out where the blade is supposed to go on his back, so I just have it sticking out of his mouth. He can't hold it and I don't get why a robot would have a hole in its head anyway like that.  :-\


edit: after posting this I went back and figured it out. I missed the little slot above the gun sheath. Duh!

The mother of Jake Lloyd, the actor who played Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars," reportedly told police her son has schizophrenia and is off his medications, according to a Wonderwall report. Lloyd, who also led police on a high-speed chase, reportedly attacked his mother and Indianapolis police were called. "Jake is not a violent person," his mother said, refusing to press charges. - AP

I remember him from the Burbs and the guy Taylor Negron kills in The Last Boy Scout (lost Taylor Negron this year, too).

And we just lost Tony Longo, also from The Last Boy Scout. That's three inside a year. Poltergeist Curse Pt II?

I always liked Tony Longo, so many memorable cameo roles.

Looks like Dick Van Patten just made this thread too. I guess "86 is Enough"  :D

I apologize for that.

I picked up the Goliath/Nadia deluxe set last night on eBay so I now have a complete Virus collection.  :)

Now I gotta go back and watch that dang movie again.

I picked up a complete set of Clash of the Titans figures last month including the Weapons for a little over $100 shipped.  There are only four figures (plus another Perseus with Pegasus), but its a nice little addition to my vintage corner.

NICE! I assume they are all loose?

I have been looking to pick up a carded set off eBay but they are pretty spendy. One day hopefully. Did you get the Kraken too?

I'm also currently hunting for a MISB 70's JJ Armes action figure. Man, that thing was cool.

I picked up an all-chrome T-1000 (Cop Uniform) at TRU today over lunch, so I now have 2/7.  :-\

Also saw the 5th Element figures for the first time, they look better than I expected. Think I might have to grab those at some point too.

I totally forgot about the 6" Ahsoka until your post jogged my memory.  The prototype got shown at Celebration, right?  I changed my Ahsoka vote to one for Grievous.

Grievous is coming too according to JTA.

Seems like the best idea would be to simply vote for a character that is unlikely to be made otherwise, at least anytime soon. Cantina/Jabba's Palace goons - I'm looking at you!

I don't think I want to take my kids to see any movie that is going to induce anyone to sob for 1/3 of it. We can get enough soul-crushing sadness out of regular life, thanks.

Eesh...Charleston is one place you probably don't want to be screwing around in right now.

Rick Ducommon...such a small celebrity I don't even have a link.

People keep mentioning this "Burbs" movie that I am pretty sure no one saw. I remember him much more from his stand up routines back in the 80's. Funny guy.

Plus he shut down the power to Nakatomi Plaza, so that's pretty cool.

Yeah, I have seen a bunch of the Wave 2 guys at B&N, but that store seems content to sit on merchandise forever with no efforts to clearance anything.

I think the ship has sailed on wave 3 too. I never did see a single wave 2 figure at Target around here, nor Walgreens either.

I think I will probably cave and get these eventually, but no rush.
