    If you could only take 10 figures with you....

    Let's say it's 2012, and the world is ending soon.
    Y'all know that, right?
    The human race is evacuating to Mars. Through some mysterious coincidence, Gorn Captain leads the first ship out to Mars, and decides that toy collectors are the chosen few who must certainly make it out safe and sound, to continue the human race. Laywers, the British Royal family and anyone involved in unneccesary remakes of classic films happen to come at the very end of the line. They probably won't make it. Last in line are white supremacists, who will finally have the Earth to themselves, even if it's five minutes before it blows up.

    Now, I've managed to make a deal, and all of you can take 10 figures with you. There's not enough room in the rocket, so that's the best I can do. I've already flushed out Paris Hilton in a "freak" airlock accident (FAA). Her last words before being incinerated by the blast engines were "that's so hot!!!".

    So here's the deal: pick your TEN favourite figures.
    Which ones will it be, and why?

    Remember, expensive figures won't get you anywhere on Mars. The only currency exchange rate will be "one big rock is worth three small ones", and there won't be a "Mars-Bay" to sell them on.
    And Martian hookers won't care about your MOC AFA Mego Iron Man at all. They'll just be interested in oxygen tanks and sucking your air hose.
    Wait, that didn't sound right....

    So what would it be?
    I'll think about my ten favourites and let you know....

          I'd pick all bendies so I can melt them down and trade the rubber later when the colony runs short.

          Probably all LJN WWF figures

            5 basic stormtroopers and 5 basic Cobra figures. Because everyone needs a few henchmen and I could trade for other figures

                Captain Action. Only one figure, but I can bring some extra outfits in my socks.
                Action Jackson. see above
                AA Kung Fu Joe commander: again, see above
                Mego Spiderman
                Kenner Alien
                Shogun Godzilla
                Ideal Rowlf the dog
                Topper Ernie, Bert, and my childhood Grover

                the last four are puppets, but I figure it is the same thing. Besides, I am not bringing any Star Wars, so maybe I can trade some theater time for some of that goodness somewhere along the journey.

                  As captain of the Mars Mission spaceship, I'll allow each of you to stuff five smaller figures down your shorts (GI Joes, SW...). I doubt Martian Customs will check. Just say you're "well-endowed"...
                  And the girls might even have an advantage here.
                  Wait, that didn't sound right....
