Gummi Bears Toy Commercial.

Working on a new article now, should be up late this afternoon. Meantime, here's some stuff to keep y'all occupied. For like two whole minutes.

Hey now, it's the Gummi Bears. You remember the Gummi Bears, I'm sure. Pioneers of the "Disney Afternoon," these furry folk fought giant ogres by drinking juice and making twboingky sounds as they hopped. It waddn't no Duck Tales, but the show served its purpose. Merchandise ran the usual gamut, but probably the most popular items were the above shown plushies, by Fisher Price. Just your standard stuffed animals -- no wacky light-up eyes or internal battery-operated voice boxes, but come on, Gummi Bears didn't need to sink to such levels. Leave that shit for Goof Troop. Click here to download the commercial!

A handful of older X-E articles plucked for your perusal: Double Dragon Movie Review - Return of the Jedi Play-Doh Set - Hulk market, Hulk smash - Vending Machine Toys Feature

UGO and Columbia Pictures are doing a pretty cool contest for Hellboy -- Click here if you're into it. Grand prize is a vacation, a shitload of electronics and more Hellboy swag than should possibly be allowed to exist. These contests are legit and you don't get spammed or frigged with, so I've got no problem sending traffic its way. Good luck, X-E usually nails one or two winners when I link this stuff.

Squee4242: Don’t forget Rescue Rangers. Oh, the humiliation Gadget has gone through, in fanfic and fan art, for no reason other than her being a mildly attractive anthropomorphic animal… raped, seduced, tortured, turned into a guy or a hermaphrodite, inflated, swallowed, stuffed, snuffed, and married off to a million sweaty thirtysomethings’ "fursonas" who show their love for the character by giving her the personality of a lobotomized Stepford wife…

Nevertheless, she’s still better off than the cast of the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon, which never had a chance to be sullied like RR did: the furverts jumped on it as soon as it came out. Damn them for keeping this mediocre concept alive all these years.

Do I sound bitter? I once rescued a friend from a furry convention, and part of me died that day…

I haven’t yet posted to this one, and I really have nothing to say except that I loved Gummi Bears, and I was totally bummed that there never was an NES game.

I often daydreamed about a Gummi Bears action/adventure/rpg since GB had the kind of elements that were appropriate for such a thing.

I remember this Gummi Bears episode where Gruffi somehow gets mood swings, which are indicated by sound effects. If there’s a sound of a lightning strike, he turns mean, and if there’s a sound of a cash register ("Cha-ching!"), he calms down and turns nice. At least, that’s how I remember it.
