    I love the Dark Tower books (especially the first 4), so I am pretty excited for these. If you guys ever get a chance to listen to the audio books, the reader who does the first 5 books, Frank Muller, is incredible. He makes a great series even better. Unfortunately he was not able to finish the series due to a terrible motorcycle accident. 

    He really is phenomenal, I always enjoy stumbling across him as a reader when I get into another audiobook. George Guidall who finished out the series is also terrific, it seems weird to knock him down a peg at all...but man, Frank, it's like the equivalent of Jim Dale not being able to finish out the Harry potter books, really sad.

    We planned out Series 4 and 5 simultaneously, based on the next, upcoming season of the show at the time. I don't see how being current is bull-headed, and yet continuing to make characters who no longer appear on the show because their planet blew up is not. It was a lose-lose, because I can see the space suits and aliens being listed as a glaring oversight if we had not made them.

    There's certainly a fair amount of prognosticating and gambling. Just seemed like a whole lot of eggs in one basket instead of a mix of new and old. Space turtles, sure...But did we need space Casey and April, Salamandrian as urgently? Before Dogpound or Xever or Leatherhead or Mondo Gecko? I can't imagine a lot of complaints about getting to familiar characters because they were last seen on the show in the previous season. I think most fans interpret toy lines as all inclusive and by nature of the design and manufacturing don't expect them to be super trendy and as topical as a newspaper. And even still, we got Bishop and Chrome Dome in these last two series. But I can imagine they were more of a cost decision, I'm sure cost was a significant factor in why didn't get a ton of mutants over squeezing in more tertiary human characters that were cheaper to get out.

    Am I the only one that thinks that the new tv show mates would be going strong if there was more mutant presence in the last two waves and overall. I love the classic ninja turtles and will be getting them(hopefully a long running series). I just feel like we have acouple different characters out of a vast collection and now we won't get anymore.

    It was an extraordinarily weird and bull-headed decision to never look back and never bother with minimates of the most common, recurring henchmen or the great, really memorable mutants from the first seasons. Instead hedging their bets that the show would be space show forever from this point on, and not just a dozen episodes or so.

    Can anyone tell me if the red color of Santa and Santa Jack match? I want to put together a regular Santa figure and these two figures bashed together would be perfect.

    As far as the naked eye, I think they are virtually a perfect match. I'm curious what you mean by a "regular Santa" figure though, how is the Santa as released not a good regular Santa? 

  5. Ack, 30 years to prepare and we're missing the anniversary year!? ohmy.png I'm very excited, I figured the BTTF Minimates era was over, never thought I'd get another George McFly and indentured servant Biff.

    The blurb about the Delorean says it comes with an all new Marty...what's new about it? Is it a super tiny thing that I'm not seeing?
