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

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!

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.

Chestnuts roasted by kittygirl @ 09/21/2004 11:54 PM EST

Holy crap...that was funny!

3 Noses?

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 09/22/2004 12:14 AM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by pikachulover @ 09/22/2004 12:24 AM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by Byrd man @ 09/22/2004 01:03 AM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by Ian @ 09/22/2004 01:23 AM EST

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.

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.

Chestnuts roasted by jason1551 @ 09/22/2004 02:22 AM EST

Blahhg, don't ever compare Green Day to the Beatles...

Chestnuts roasted by Psuedo Bohemian @ 09/22/2004 03:40 AM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by TB Tabby @ 09/22/2004 06:51 AM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by EyeLikeP00 @ 09/22/2004 08:04 AM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 09/22/2004 08:07 AM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by Trippy the 8th Dwarf @ 09/22/2004 09:04 AM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by jhnnywalkr @ 09/22/2004 09:09 AM EST

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

oh yeah, long time lurker first post.

Chestnuts roasted by gundam2000 @ 09/22/2004 09:20 AM EST

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! razz

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... big grin

Chestnuts roasted by eminentfreakthemighty @ 09/22/2004 09:26 AM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Stilewalker @ 09/22/2004 09:31 AM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Hallonut @ 09/22/2004 09:49 AM EST

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 =)

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 09/22/2004 10:23 AM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by Jenner @ 09/22/2004 10:55 AM EST

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!

Chestnuts roasted by Blah...blah @ 09/22/2004 10:59 AM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by Simon Chipmunk @ 09/22/2004 12:29 PM EST

Actually, I wore red, you idiot.

Chestnuts roasted by Alvin C. @ 09/22/2004 12:32 PM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by jhnnywalkr @ 09/22/2004 12:34 PM EST

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

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

That was really cute!

"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.

Chestnuts roasted by Mars @ 09/22/2004 01:38 PM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by brandon @ 09/22/2004 01:55 PM EST

Best Alien movie since the second one!!

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

Chestnuts roasted by Jason @ 09/22/2004 04:46 PM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 09/22/2004 04:57 PM EST

Chestnuts roasted by philthekill@hotmail @ 09/22/2004 06:13 PM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by Niq @ 09/22/2004 06:25 PM EST

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"

Chestnuts roasted by fsdgsdgfsfg @ 09/22/2004 07:33 PM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 09/22/2004 07:41 PM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by manimal789 @ 09/22/2004 08:59 PM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by starwenn @ 09/22/2004 09:40 PM EST

Aww the Alien looks like it just wanted a hug...

Chestnuts roasted by Mara @ 09/22/2004 10:10 PM EST

Jason looks so cute with his small chainsaw. smile

Chestnuts roasted by Beta-Theta @ 09/22/2004 10:18 PM EST

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...

Chestnuts roasted by jason1551 @ 09/22/2004 10:18 PM EST

Aliens are cool!! Die simon!!

Chestnuts roasted by Caylor @ 09/22/2004 11:11 PM EST

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!

Oranges are far superior to apples.

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

Chestnuts roasted by Walks @ 09/23/2004 10:32 PM EST

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?
