Happy Holidays, my friends!
Less than a week til Christmas and I’ve barely started shopping! How about the rest of you? I’ve got a few done and a little bit of time left. I hope.
Course, if anyone was looking for ME, there are a few things I wouldn’t mind Santa sending my way. My Christmas wishes...
Just a thought, no pressure.
I hope you all get what you want for the holidays.

Q: Randy-I’ve been seeing so many different DC figure that are supposed to be coming from Mattel. Not the Batman ones, but which ones are coming out and when? I saw a Harley Quinn that looks sweet! Thx

Hope that helps, Tawny.

Q: Randino, my man! I’ve been collecting the cool SW two-packs that started coming out this year. I thought I had them all but see I’m missing #1. I took a look around and see that it was an Entertainment Earth EXCLUSIVE of the Crimson Empire boys Kir Kanos and Carnor Jax! They are long sold out so am I s.o.l or what? Thanxs.
A: Hey there, Buddy G. Well, I talked with ??? Man about this and he says the best you can do would be to custom one, since the figure is being reused for of the “Force Unleashed” figures coming in 2008.
But I just checked out EE and noticed that they are showing a case assortment for EU “Case 3, Rev. 1” that is scheduled to have THREE of the Kir Kanos/Carnor Jax sets in it! These are due next month! You can read it HERE. So maybe the Force IS with you! Thanks.

Q: Randy-what’s the world on the Conan figures? I need to know by Crom!
A: Well, according to a recent blurb in Toyfare, The Conan movie figures are still moving along fine for 2008. Looks likely to be a series in late Spring, a second series in late Fall and a special con exclusive figure. Still not word on what the specifics are, but I believe that there are at least 4 different Conans! YEAH! I’ll post more when I hear it, by Crom!
That’s it for now. I’ll see you again on Christmas Eve.

Don't know if you answer vintage toy questions but here goes. I had an airplane toy as a kid. You turned a handle to control a wire like arm (about matchstick thick) with a hook on the end. You picked up the plane (or chopper) with the hook and flew it manually over a landscaped board (like a monopoly game board size).
I would love to know what it was called so I could try to find one.
