    Even if the political figure doesn't grab 'em, the character he's grafted onto will make this a must have. I can only imagine the cool customs possible with the new Presidential Monster.

      Agreed, it'll be something Customizers will likely get excited about.

        You can really hear Nimoys dentures in Big Bang as well as the movie.

        Darn that Anthony Cumia. Now that's all I hear.

          It bugged me in the theatre but Ant's rant was hilarious.

                Absolutely, that one escaped me at the time but it's a pretty darn good example of borrowing the concept.

                  I think it's cool that you guys expand outside the mego realm and talk about your favourite tv shows or movies of the era or whatever. I think the strength of the museum is that it's become a bit of a catch all for nostalgia of that specific time period.

                    I really enjoy the banter you guys have. Throwing Steve in there is just gravy. Or maybe Steve was covered in gravy as he was eaten by the Gorn.

                    You guys are laugh-track snobs!

                      I just think it's embarrassing we have these discussions and I'm always the one that didn't watch the show. Dr Who, Logan's Run, Dark Shadows...some geek!

                        I think all of you bring in nifty perspectives. It would be cool to hear your insights working in the animation field for example (and how that might influence your customs or even how you design the look of the museum or super collector), or devoting some podcast time talking about the development of the Dida play set system. I know I'd be as interested in hearing about your process for creating the Brick bachelor pad in the same kind of detail as your series of videos demonstrating how you made the Lost custom airplane or van.

                            I know, I'm very tempted to make a 'Frobot to hang with Shaftron.

                            I think mine would end up with a 1950's TV Dad smoking a pipe head though.
