Anyone Catch EMCE on NBC Last Night?

[saildog]

I NEVER and let me underline NEVER watch the news, but last night I had the TV on and tuned to NBC Nightly News. I wasn't paying attention until they had a story towards the end of the broadcast about the trend this year of toys going all retro.

I dinged in when they showed an EMCE Uhura alongside its Mego counterpart and stated that there was virtually no difference.

I have spent the last 24 hours looking for a clip and can't find one, but I promise you that it was on last night's broadcast.

YEAH!!! Way to go, Scott!

What's funny, to me, is how I missed everything up to "On the left, a Star Trek doll from the original series. On the right, the same doll re-issued in its "retro version"".

Watching that clip, I see some "Rock'em Sock'em Robots" that I want and must have two or three of because I never got them as a kid.
