Four Cool Dolls!

Happy birthday to you. Here's a look at four great dolls, forever changing the stereotypes surrounding their kind of toys. You've got the Enemy Visitor doll from V, a big potato, Archie Bunker's grandson and Steve freaking Urkel. It's like everything you've ever wanted for your birthday. The V doll is particularly awesome, so much so that I'll start the bidding at 5,000 bucks and tell all interested parties to e-mail me with their chosen form of escrow. Back to my booze in the blender, but not before...

A New Survey! You've got one week to live. What's your plan?

I had the V doll. Still do, somewhere actually. That thing rocks, but it was so hard to fit him into playtime with the other toys, what with him being Godzilla sized and all.

The one week to live plan would involve lots and lots of sex. After that, probably some drinking and watching movies, then more sex.

Could you tell I was excited? Never thought this would happen.
Happy birthday. Ah 26, seems like only yesterday I was taking your training wheels off.
"Sunrise, sunset…"
And, the Manimal’s hometown getting a decent shoutout for the Superbowl. The kid who did the coin toss wore a NORMANDY jersey. I am a Normandy Atlethic Association alum myself. 1987 Pop Warner: The Normandy Giants.
I will post later when I have actually read the article.

Too bad you don’t have the Urkel commercial complete with the Urkel rap.
One week to live: I would probably plan something elaborate only to watch it pissed away in SIMPSON dvds. Oh yeah, tell my family I love them….

Chestnuts roasted by The Manimal @ 02/06/2005 9:27 PM

I SO need to get one of those Urkel dolls. And, thanks for reminding me about the old "Couch potato".

Anyway, If I had a week to live, I’d say goodbye to everyone I care about. Then, leave an outline to finishing the storylines in my two comic-book series(as well as the rights), to an artist friend of mine. And finally, read X-E until I drop.

Hah, and who says dolls are just for girls? Or kids, for that matter? Or weird old guys?

One week to live. Lessee. I’d distribute my toys among my friends [I'd rather be around to see them enjoy them, y'know?] and convince my girl to marry me. Yeah, for a week. S’better than dying all cold and alone and the like. Wait, it’s summer here. So much for the cold. My shirt is freakin’ soaked.

Alright, a new post!

Chestnuts roasted by Dean @ 02/06/2005 10:24 PM

Reason number 5,784 I love this site: literally two days after I buy a talking Ernest doll on eBay Matt posts this article.

One week to live…yikes. Let’s see here, I’d need a couple cans of silly string, a bunch of candy, a yoyo, a jar of pickles and probably my MST3K DVDs. I don’t really know what I’d do, but at least that’s a start. Oh, and of course I’d want my wife with me (it’s always good to write stuff like that just in case she looks over my shoulder while I’m typing).

Chestnuts roasted by Lucien @ 02/06/2005 10:38 PM

Well, I’m one of three, lets see how many people out there know about Flabber also.

Chestnuts roasted by Kevin @ 02/06/2005 10:48 PM

happy birthday matt!

Chestnuts roasted by cale @ 02/06/2005 11:01 PM

One week left to live?
I spend every waking moment trying to avoid exposing my eyeballs to more doll wang.

as sad and pathetic as it might be, I’d quit my job and just watch my favorite movies, read a few of my favorite books and play through Super Metroid one last time.

Chestnuts roasted by dantewyrmfoe @ 02/06/2005 11:02 PM

In all honesty, I actually would go to Disneyland. And maybe swim in the ocean. And for what it is worth, I too recognize Flabber from Big Bad Beetleborgs. It was probably the most memorable Power Rangers rip-off, what with a werewolf, vampire, and a 70′s pimp ghost thing helping the kids out. But the best Power Ranger rip off title would have to be The Tatooed (sp?) Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills. (yes it actuallt DID exist.)

Chestnuts roasted by Ed @ 02/06/2005 11:07 PM

I’d probably try to make other peoples life miserable by reminding them how in a week i’m going to die and how they have to be nice to me exactly because of that.

Then, I’d eat all the candy my body can get without puking my eyeballs out, play The Legend Of Zelda once more and just to go with a pompous endind, I’d probably kill myself the 6th day just to prove matt’s prediction of it being a week was wrong…

Hey Matt, Happy Birthday. Mine is actually on the 5th of this month. Loved the Toyfare article and I hope there’s more to come

Chestnuts roasted by Tom H @ 02/06/2005 11:39 PM

Cry a whole bunch, if you want the honest answer. Sit around and eat fried and cheese covered food. Go to Disneyland. Run up a bunch of gambling debts.
Happy birthday again!

My brother has one of those Couch Potatoes. He got it at a flear market a couple years ago. It’s actually in pretty decent shape. I wonder how much they’re really worth..

Chestnuts roasted by Jim @ 02/06/2005 11:52 PM

Great article, Matt! Top rate!

If I had a week to live, I would give my goodbyes to my family, jump in the car, and go to as many places I’ve never been to as time allows. New York City, here I come!

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Mr. Mr. @ 02/06/2005 11:57 PM

Man, Beetleborgs! I had forgotten about that show. Alright, If I had a week to live…
Quit my job
make a will
call evryone i know
ditto on the fried cheese covered food
not tell anyone

Chestnuts roasted by Scott @ 02/07/2005 12:00 PM

Great article, Matt…can’t believe they had a doll based on Archie Bunker’s Grandson. That’s messed up..

Oh, and if I had a week to live, I’d spend it with my family and my fraternity brothers.

Chestnuts roasted by Cameron T. @ 02/07/2005 12:24 PM

One week to live, eh? Spend a day in seven different countries, maybe… that’d be amazing. Or, maybe I’d just eat some candy and watch old episodes of Family Double Dare until I expired like milk.

Chestnuts roasted by Review the World @ 02/07/2005 12:30 PM

Great article Matt once again, even so I have to admit that I still have that Urkel Doll. After many years of thinking about feeding it to the dog, I still managed to keep it in mostly good shape (glasses are gone to the land of lost toys).

So many years of "Got any cheese", "No sweat my pet", and "Did I do that" drives a person mad…

Chestnuts roasted by Rirse @ 02/07/2005 1:20 AM

Hey matt today is my birthday also, man growing up I hated hearing "YOU HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS PRESIDENT REAGAN" every damn year

Chestnuts roasted by Chris @ 02/07/2005 1:38 AM

That couch potato is so frigg’n sweet. If I had a whole bunch of them, I’d pile em all up on the floor next to the bed. Then I’d start doing flips off of the bed. They look pretty sweet.

Chestnuts roasted by Eddie Lightning Frog @ 02/07/2005 1:41 AM

also sex
