Sad, sad news man. I was not a regular reader but it is a shame to see another geek mag bite the dust.

Count me in as another eternal optimist Don. Whenever I am writing for a charater, motivation is the strongest point, plot always fits around that. So I to, love redemption arcs and Vaders in the OT is one of the best.

I noticed that as well, Ken!  Kudos to us!

 

Also, you really need to stay away from the Matty Collector site, my friend.  You will go broke there as they sell two lines that are a major part of your fandom - He-Man figs and Ghostbuster movie figs.

I'm not so sure about that, my friend.  You Brits have plenty of programming I favour over our own.  If I had to survive on an island with just Doctor Who, Life on Mars, Top Gear, Jekyll, and Monty Python to keep me company, I would be a happy man.

I suspect my view is coloured somewhat buy the launch of Sky Atlantic over here, which has introduced me to shows like The Soprano's Boardwalk Empire and ER.  None of which I'd seen before,. The Grass is always Greener I guess :)

you just new i was going to reply to this blog mate....

 

I owned two Ghostbusters figures, Winston and Peter, what was cool about them was they came with Ghosts to bust so you got two toys for the price of one. 

 

Mask was the last Toy I got into as a kid, Rhino, Thunderhawk, Firefly, Switchblade, Piranah, and Dragonfly were the ones I owned.  I used to havea great game as a kid combining them with my Transformers to make a bigger army.

 

 

Oh and i totally blame you for me starting to collect classic He-man figures whenever I see them.  Skeletor, He-Man, and Mer-man have kicked off my collection.

I absolutely did, bud.  In fact, I wrote it with you in mind.

 

Agreed with why the RGB figures were so cool.  Ghosts and a buster?  Sold!  I really liked the ones they put out where you squeezed their legs together and their faces bulged out in fright expressions.

 

I had all of the MASK toys you did except Rhino.  I actually managed to pick up Switchblade and Thunderhawk a couple of years back in great condition.  They sit on one of my shelves.

 

And you have a steel will if you've managed to avoid picking up any of the new He-Man or GB figs on Matty Collector.  That site just screams Ken since it makes two toy lines based on two of your favourite properties...

One of the great things about the British Seaside is that it means there will always be arcades.  Everything from video games to the really old school penny games still exist trapped in time.  I spent 15 minutes last weekend in one of the Arcade's in Southend on Sea trying to win a bunch of pennies by rolling one down a ramp. I then went on to waste several pounds trying to stop an Alien/Nazi invasion with a Chain Gun.

 

Seriously buddy you need to move to the UK.

Great idea for a series man and an interesting first entry.  I would argue that both James Masters and Daniel Day Kim would make ideal candidates as well.

 

Also all Brits are born with these abilites, it's genetic and makes up for the fact we no longer have an Empire.

Great piece Don. I love me some Sheppard, I think he brings far more to Crowley in Supernatural than he is given.

 

This is a great idea for a series. I always remember when Paul Giamatti was one of "those guys" that kept popping up making everything better.

 

I will echo Ken's Daniel Dae Kim request!
