      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.

                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.

                If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                  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.

                          I think Scott hit it on the head. I'm not use to getting things that I want in great abundance. And that's how this year is shaping up. It's also a renewed validation for the eight inch format. It wasn't long ago when people were claiming the format was on it's last legs. I would say rumors of it's demise have been exaggerated.

                            You know, I was just thinking that there should be a "Dr. Franklinstein" in the Presidential Monsters, since they are going for non-presidents as well. Being named Franklin, I've of course heard "Franklinstein" a time or three over the years. Add the obvious (but clever) name play, and Ben's discovery of lightning is electricity, and you have a no-brainer.

                            Then I listen to the podcast and I hear that this is being made. Weird coincidence!

                            Great job as usual guys. I love these. I need to call in soon.
