It was shown at Toyfair somewhere, combine that with the new movie and maybe we'll see a Quentin.

Man, I hope so. I really dig this line. A new DVD set which has all the episodes in a coffin shaped box is just being released also.

Looking forward to listening to this one.

That was some damn-good pod....damn good. Thank you. Luv the Toy Fair recap w/BBP! After all these years there was only one Lucifer available and now we might get 2. Amazing.

Sorry about the head size post but I did preface it with: "I'm sure BBP is on top of this but...." Okay. Now get your bars of soap and pillowcase. I'd rather have sore abs than an oversized retro head.

Great episode and I can't wait for the next one. Luv'd the Mark Leonard story! Also, luv'd hearing about the 30-year-old contracts.

Listening now. I think it's cool that you guys can wander off into other topics other than purely Mego, particularly since the MM has evolved in the range of things that are discussed here. Great to hear Steve's voice on there as well.
