wow. Simon. Where did you get that. I remember I had all the toys from the mid-80’s series. The stage, everything.

Where am I?

Posted by Lost Reader @ 09/21/2004 11:22 PM EDT

this was absolute gold….i love when matt does this….he should definitely make a section devoted to action figure theater…if he had time

If my dorm meeting hadn’t gone long, I’d have that first post!

Posted by ANdrew @ 09/21/2004 11:46 PM EDT

That’s Shwartzinegger! Look it up!

Posted by Arnold Schwarzenegger @ 09/21/2004 11:46 PM EDT

I agree w/ Scourge, these are XE at its best… IF ONLY HE’D FINISH THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL- THE CHIA ARTICLE! XE READERS UNITE AND DEMAND IT BE COMPLETED!

That was pretty funny… glad to see more updates lately. yay for me.

Posted by kittygirl @ 09/21/2004 11:54 PM EDT

Good one Matt, I always look forward to the Halloween updates.

Posted by Byrd man @ 09/22/2004 1:03 AM EDT

Matt, you’re a freaking genius. I love it.

Posted by Ian @ 09/22/2004 1:23 AM EDT

Now that was comedy. But why no Ash to kick Jason’s butt? Surely he is the mightiest of chainsaw wielding maniacs and deserving of some face time.

Posted by jason1551 @ 09/22/2004 1:32 AM EDT

Hate to derail the halloween spirit, but I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t mention that the new Green Day album came out today. I had to fight through the Star Wars fanatics to get it. The sales girl was like "you’re not buying the trilogy?"

In short, American Idiot is a modern day Abbey Road, except even more connecteded.

Even shorter: AI is the greatest album ever made! Okay, halloween talk resumes….now.

Speaking of green, that reminds me that I need to watch my copy of Grinch Night.

Posted by jason1551 @ 09/22/2004 2:22 AM EDT

Blahhg, don’t ever compare Green Day to the Beatles…

Posted by Psuedo Bohemian @ 09/22/2004 3:40 AM EDT

Not as funny as Ralphie Goes To Hell, but I liked the Floral Zone.

Posted by TB Tabby @ 09/22/2004 6:51 AM EDT

What are those toys?? That’s awesome, little Alien lego-type figures!!

Posted by EyeLikeP00 @ 09/22/2004 8:04 AM EDT

Aww, I loved Ralphie goes to Hell. That was classic.

Seeing Simon reminds me how Mr. Trajeal kept calling Hurricane Ivan, "Alvin". I swear, he has some kind of speech impediment.

I agree w/ the others. These articles are the best. I was waiting for Moss Arms Skelator to show up and start bitching.

Posted by trajeal @ 09/22/2004 8:07 AM EDT

CHIA-PLOT!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Trippy the 8th Dwarf @ 09/22/2004 9:04 AM EDT

Awesome Matt. Those are cool toys. You should do more of those. Especially CHIA PLOT!
CHIACHIACHIACHIACHIACHIA!

Posted by jhnnywalkr @ 09/22/2004 9:09 AM EDT

why am I picturing Skeletor sticking a facehugger on Mossman and saying, "Hold this".

oh yeah, long time lurker first post.

Posted by gundam2000 @ 09/22/2004 9:20 AM EDT

MATT - THAT WAS BRILLIANT!!!!
:: pats Matt on head. patpatpat. :: Whose bed was that, anyway? I love that floral material (ok, now you know I’m a girl…)

Good to see Trippy the 8th dwarf again! Hiya Trippy!

Viz everyone saying we have to gang up on Matt and force him to finish the Chia plot: we know, people! Nomatter what we have said, Matt just ain’t ready to CHIA wiv us. So I created own bad spoof involving My Little Ponies and chocolate… must continue with it, but need help! Insufficient toys! Anyone got a digital camera and a lot of eighties toys????? Mail me! (click on me name). I’ve never had such fun; (weeell, for a given value of never) and can heartily recommend spending hours murdering turtles. TMNT’s, that is. Real turtles are too cute, really. Then take pictures. Evil ponies rule the wwwworld! Whohoooo!

Drat! That wasn’t s’posed to be a link on world. Oh. I’m multiple posting. Now I really feel bad. Have to go eat chocolate now…

Posted by eminentfreakthemighty @ 09/22/2004 9:26 AM EDT

Damn, I love this stuff. I am in the middle of playing Alien vs Predator 2 and my alien is getting so big…I am so proud…I promised I wouldn’t cry.

It is a pretty sweet game. I finished the human and predator missions and I am about half way through the alien mission. This best part is growing the alien from a face hugger and watching him grow.

Posted by Stilewalker @ 09/22/2004 9:31 AM EDT

Jesus Christ I LOVE the Halloween Countdown. Actually forgot HOW MUCH I loved it last year. I work a 9-5 solo desk job and this makes the day so much easier to deal with.

Posted by Hallonut @ 09/22/2004 9:49 AM EDT

I totally respect the Beatles. Don’t get me wrong. I have a Sgt. Peppers patch on my messenger bag, right next to my Blink one…okay, maybe that’s not the best defense.

But seriously, lets not get this off topic, cause quite frankly its my fault at the end of the day =)

Posted by Knegative @ 09/22/2004 10:23 AM EDT

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks Simon has hair that looks like bird shit.
=)

Posted by Jenner @ 09/22/2004 10:55 AM EDT

Yikes, go away for a week and just look what you’ll miss. Seven articles! Wow Matt, you’ve been crankin’ em out. Looks like the Halloween Countdown has begun and I gotta catch up. Boo!

Posted by Blah...blah @ 09/22/2004 10:59 AM EDT

Holy crap…that was funny!

3 Noses?

Posted by Invader Norbert @ 09/22/2004 12:14 PM EDT

that was funny matt. Are you going to review the halloween circus animal cookies?

Posted by pikachulover @ 09/22/2004 12:24 PM EDT

That wasn’t Simon. Simon wore red. That was Theodore. Duh.

Posted by Simon Chipmunk @ 09/22/2004 12:29 PM EDT

Actually, I wore red, you idiot.

Posted by Alvin C. @ 09/22/2004 12:32 PM EDT

Au contrare, mon frere. I beg to differ. Simon wore blue (that WAS Simon), Theodore wore green, and ALVIN wore red.

Posted by jhnnywalkr @ 09/22/2004 12:34 PM EDT

At least it was a Alien and not those Congo monkeys.

Posted by kingklash's home for the voices in your head @ 09/22/2004 12:37 PM EDT

That was really cute!

Posted by Rayzak @ 09/22/2004 12:46 PM EDT

I love the little Jason figurine! :O Must … have … one!

Hello gundam! My favorite is Deathscythe Hell, then Epyon.

"Smallville is coming to ABC Family! Don’t miss your chance to get in from the beginning!"

Yeah, if you missed the other 17,459 other chances WB already gave you by rerunning those episodes into the ground.

Posted by Mars @ 09/22/2004 1:38 PM EDT

I agree with everyone, these action figure articles are definatly the best x-e offeres. and let me tell you something, I haven’t ever seen something from x-e I didn’t like.

I think this gives me something to do with my website…I will create either an action figure web comic type thingy, or random action figure stories….now to re-learn html, or maybe start java….hmmm.

As of yesterday I’m divorce, sounds so strange. that is all

Posted by brandon @ 09/22/2004 1:55 PM EDT

Best Alien movie since the second one!!

Where’d you get the weird Fisher Price looking Alien figures?

Posted by Jason @ 09/22/2004 4:46 PM EDT

Jeez, Brandon, that sucks. Um, better luck next time?

Posted by trajeal @ 09/22/2004 4:57 PM EDT

tht was a cool movie man i found it funny as hell i like hte chipmunk an jason

Posted by philthekill@hotmail @ 09/22/2004 6:13 PM EDT

I’m breathlessly awaiting the return of MAD MATT. Well, no, that was a lie - I’m just waiting.

Posted by Niq @ 09/22/2004 6:25 PM EDT

That was fucking awesome.
except that part where it says "Going going, jerkworm." That typo really took me out of the moment. I think it should say "Good Going"

Posted by fsdgsdgfsfg @ 09/22/2004 7:33 PM EDT

You’re absolutely insane. I love the forbidden floral as well.

Posted by squee4242 @ 09/22/2004 7:41 PM EDT

Much better than Alien vs. Predator. Although, only slightly better then the last Ernest movie.

Posted by manimal789 @ 09/22/2004 8:59 PM EDT

Well, that was…interesting. I’d LOVE to know how you dug up what looks like Jason and Ailens Plamobil toys, though…

Posted by starwenn @ 09/22/2004 9:40 PM EDT

Aww the Alien looks like it just wanted a hug…

Posted by Mara @ 09/22/2004 10:10 PM EDT

Jason looks so cute with his small chainsaw.

Posted by Beta-Theta @ 09/22/2004 10:18 PM EDT

For all those who are asking about the figures:

They’re Mez-itz figures. There’s an Alien pack, an Army of Darkness pack, and a Horror Movie Legends pack (with Jason, Freddy, and Leatherface). Soemday I’ll own them all…

Posted by jason1551 @ 09/22/2004 10:18 PM EDT

Aliens are cool!! Die simon!!

Posted by Caylor @ 09/22/2004 11:11 PM EDT

heheh..Good job mike. When are we going to see
"The Real Ghostbusters VS. The Scooby Doo Gang"?

PS: I know how to create slime just as good as the ones in the vending machine article with house hold ingredients (KEEP YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!)…
It would be cool for a halloween special article!

Feh. Mez-itz bite-itz. "Wooo! Cheap American knock-offs yay!" Mezco is the spawn of satan, seriously, they produce those Living Dead Dolls!! FEH. Kubricks are far superior. /un-American humor/ But of course the Japanese in general are far superior! /un-American humor/ I mean come on, the Kubrick Alien compared to the Mez-itz Alien? Apples and oranges my friend. Apples and ROTTEN oranges. Course, there is no Jason or Freddy NOR Leatherface Kubricks, which admittedly is .. not so big a deal. OK, rant off.

READ A BOOK!

Posted by big lounging @ 09/23/2004 4:39 AM EDT

I’m not a big Alien or horror film fan, but those toys kick ass!

Yes, I have been this bratty since I was 12 when Dookie came out.

Posted by Knegative @ 09/23/2004 11:27 AM EDT

Oranges are far superior to apples.

Posted by iivuli @ 09/23/2004 3:32 PM EDT

Well then, tell Mr. Simon to give that shit back to that bird!

Posted by Walks @ 09/23/2004 10:32 PM EDT

To hell with Kubricks.

Their Alien minifigs are blind buy, so you end up with trading card like figures instead of seeing what you get.

Ill take Mez Its and the ultra badass Minimates any day.

How can you not like Minimate Dr Doom gettin all up in Minimate Batman’s face?

Posted by Bloodcat @ 09/24/2004 2:18 AM EDT

hahaha.funny.JASON RULES ASS

Posted by Muddslugger @ 09/24/2004 7:45 PM EDT

Aliens plus Jason hanging with Simon after murdering our hero is a beautiful thing.

CH,CH,CH,HA,HA,HA…ALVVVVVVVVVVVVINNNNNN!!!
