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.

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.
