C.U.T.I.E.

The latest article is about C.U.T.I.E. figures, Mattel's attempt to cash in on their more boyish success with the M.U.S.C.L.E. line, which came out in the same year. I had very little to say about these, and it shows. Still, I'd gotten enough e-mail about 'em to warrant a little article, so hopefully this will put all those 'what r those things that are luke MUSCLE but more for girls and dancing women?' e-mails. Tomorrow, hopefully, the Kool-Aid Man makes his triumphant return to X-E.

PS - great response thread on the post below this. If you like candy, check it out.

This is in response to the Decepticon article just posted.

I used to carry my Ravage around in my pockets as well. ^_^

Had all the figures you posted except the SquawkTalk set. No idea where they all went to over the years. :(

I also had a brown Ravage cassette. Do not remember where I got it from, but I thought it was pretty cool having a Ravage of a different color.

The pictures of Rumble and Frenzy are reversed. Rumble was red and Frenzy was blue. For some reason their colors were reversed on the cartoon (yes, Frenzy did appear, but not often), so the pictures should have shown a blue cartoon Rumble with a red figure, and the opposite for Frenzy.

(Yes, I know it’s mentioned in the article, but it bugs me when they get mixed up.)

While reading XE, several things happened:

1) When clicking on a mail link, Netscape Messenger or whatever the email client for Netscape is called asked if I wanted to set up an email account with it being the head client, and one of the options was setting up an AOL account. I didn’t think AOL would let you set up an email server with a third-party mail client. Unfortunately, after trying it, it never worked, and I’ve spent the last half hour trying to find out what AOL’s mail server is. It was no good.

2) My computer has suddenly come up with a case of the stutters, which stalls the performance of it. A memory upgrade is muchly needed, which could be why my machine stutters badly. Agree? Disagree?

And just to add to Tin Man’s catchphrase, I’d like to slap somebody’s arse with both hands myself. :)

I didn’t even remember some of the Transformer cassettes that I owned. Thanks for the hard work as always. :)

i alway prided (?) myself on being a bit of a tf geek and i never knew that there were that many tf figures that turned into tapes……………….the dinosaur and ravage slap arse with both hands!

i always thought that amodern soundwaqve could be a bit hifi, with his tripod speakers as mini bots, but starscream, ravage etc, should be imortalized as cell phone, cos they are everywhere, and noone whould know.

and that would slap arse with both hands!

The poor cassettes never had team names like the Stunticons and Dinobots. So I just call them the Cassettecons and Audiobots. The poor guys miss out.

Oh, and be careful bringing up the Rumble/Frenzy color issue in a Transformers forum or newsgroup. It’s on that list of questions that have been brought up so much over the years, there may be much fuel spilled. :D

I, like Brandon, LOATHE HATE LOATHE
Cadbury Schweppes to the maximum!!

Take a look at this page:
http://www.destinytours.com.au/cadburys.htm

And see how Cadbury Schweppes is screwing a man out of his name, his career and his money.
I am good friends with Tim The Yowie Man – the guy they are trying to destroy – and I haven’t eaten or drank any of their disgusting products in 13 months since I found out about the case.
If you want a good brand oc chocolate…eat Nestle`.
Anyone wants to help the Yowie Man and loathes Cadbury then check this page out and contact Cads at the URL on the page to protest.
We also have a fighting fund for Tim so if you wanna throw a party for Halloween and donate the proceeds by Paypal. DO IT!
Help us to stop this big bully picking on the little guy.
