And, I don't know if it was intended or not, but the P38 was developed in Germany durring WWII for use as the service pistol of the Wehrmacht. (Nazi ArmY) The Japanese Zapper was a revolver hand gun, but when released in North America was changed to look like an laser gun that matched the look of the NES. There is nothing wrong with SCI-FI toys. I loved Star Wars and Star Trek. My point is not to dis them, my point is that, they are all that are availible today to kids! Unless you go out and buy a Revell Model Kit, you are not going to find much in the way of Toys based on real world vehicals and weapons.

to be honest, I had no idea about the gook zapper, and I thougth megatron turned into a laser gun. I think there's actually a law now that says toy guns over a certain size have to be obviously lasers and shit, because of cops shooting kids and stuff like that.

Action figures are scultped better these days though. My local comic book store has a used Lex Luthor figure for sale from the early 90s that looks like absolute shit. Figures generally tend to be articulated better too, unless they're McFarlane Toys, which only have like three posing positions.

I don't play with my toys, I put them all on display, so the macfarlane figures are great for me. I'm a big fan of his anime figures and the movie maniacs. there's nothign funier than seeing armitage III on the same shelf as robocop. I also totally dug his soul calibur II minis, even though he used the retarded easter buny outfit for astaroth instead of his mr. potato head one.

because I buy figures for display purposes, I try to avoid most of the marvel legends like the plauge, because usually they have obviously visible points of articulation, look jerkey, and usually don't stand on their own. my only exceptions are guys like Like Cage, silver iron man, and blackheart (coincidentally all from the same set,) because finding a figure of them that isn't a custom is neigh impossible.

I would give one of my kidneys if he made a figure of Iced Earth's "The Stormrider."

I want to find the three original halo toys, that didn't look goofy and retarded.

they had a sick looking chief, a glowing cortana, and a warthog.

whos releasing a CM punk figure?
