I vote for more chia plots. That was awesome.

You’re sad because its snowing and you have to write an article…man, does the baby want a bottle? Waah Waah.
Eh, I found my way out of the Photog Blog and the light hurts my eyes…only 1 comment posted…this blog is too close to the surface for my dilated Bitner pupils. Anyway, I think the only 80′s things I wanted to see make a comeback we’re GI Joe(though I wouldn’t buy them, ironic I know), MOTU, and Garbage Pail Kids, so I’m pretty good on the nostalgia stuff.

I didn't say I was sad. It was just loosely implied.

The new G.I. Joe stuff is actually pretty great -- some of the figure choices are kinda ehhh, but others more than make up for it. Plus, one of the newer 12" figures I've seen was some Joe soldier with masks for Destro, Zartan, and Dr. Mindbender. Doesn't get much cooler than that.

I'd say MOTU is clearly the leader of the revival, though.

Hey Matt,
How does it feel to be a cultural measuring stick?

"What do you mean, Mike?"

Before you did your post about Mighty Beanz, they were languishing on the shelves of our local Toys 'R' Us. The day after the post, they were sold out -and- I've seen them mentioned on about 15 different webpages since then.

You can actually start fads, how neat is that?

Definitely a coincidence, but I wish I wielded that kind of power. Speaking of the Beanz, they’ve just come out (or, they’re just about to come out) with Ninja Turtles versions. Awesome.

The latest 80′s gem to hit stores is Muppet Babies. Last night I was out at at Target with my girlfriend and we saw Miss Piggy and Kermit dolls. Animal, Gonzo, Fozzie, and Rowlf finish out the first set. And as an added bonus, each doll comes with a DVD containing one episode of the original show.

It's -30 here.
Celcius.
That translates to C-O-L-D for all you American readers.
I hate northern winters.
