These look horrible. They are the ultra-cheap figures with little articulation or accessories. I think I love them. I wonder if these will find their way to Canada, the wasteland that we are.

Harold And The Purple Crayon
When I was a kid there was one book that I carried around with me and felt a real spiritual connection with - Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson first published in 1955. Its the story of Harold a brave resourceful little guy in his jammies who recreates his world and fantasies with is omnicient purple crayon. One of the websites summed it up this way and I am in total agreement...
This is what best represents my concept of creativity, innovation, and the continual fascination with finding new things out about a very odd world and the people who live in it.
Like Harold I never really could seem to sleep where I was left when I was little. In fact my mother would often find my crib empty and me curled up on the floormat in the bathroom. As I got older I would build a nightly tent out of my blankets. With my flashlight and little transistor radio I would entertain myself until I eventually fell asleep. As an adult I still need to read something and listen to talk radio before I can fall asleep. And how can you NOT love a little bald guy in jammies who likes NINE different kind of pies...one of which you KNOW is HUCKLEBERRY.
Had To Be Said Again
"Your Majesty, Are you not the true and rightful successor to the throne of Marabia? And has not Allah, delivered this into my hands from the wonderous waters waters of the Fountain of Destiny itself, to rest upon your head."
I hear a lot of bad talk about Muslims these days. Well SINBAD was a Muslim and I will be damned if I will let you say one bad word against him. Trust in Allah. But tie up your camel!
Someone Can Just Kill Me Now
How did these LOSERS get their own figures and little cars before any of a BILLION other characters in popular culture? It's just evil. I challenge anyone to tell me with a straight face that they derived one SECOND of entertainment from any part of that show. They are unworthy of being immortalized in vinyl.
