    Those are some cool Sunshine figures. And really great shoehouse; definitely belongs in the 'cute vinyl' thread as well.

    Sorry, I missed the question earlier. The article was in issue 28.

    Damn, I love that Green Army. They are entirely excellent, but I would settle on just the gorilla and bear. I really need to somehow hunt these down. Congratulations on scoring all those!

    Green Green Army machines are pretty common right now so it should be pretty easy to track down a set if you have a contact there or use a service.

    I started miniatures company for a table top game I wrote and I just got the first production pieces back from the first sculpt. I'm really excited and hope to have the other pieces back for the other sculpts soon. And unlike vinyl toys, I *want* people to paint these.

    They arrived on Tuesday. I've already shipped out most of the bag this morning. Crazy! Time to get more cast.

    They are available now. The next two sculpts, goth girls, will be available next month I think. Then more crusties, some edge dudes and hopefully some black metal dudes.

    I just got this massive thing in the mail. Amazon was charging $67 for it, but said the list price was $100, which is way expensive for a 160 page book. I took the plunge anyway, 'cause I do love Krazy. The product description mentioned the comics where reproduced at actual Sunday paper size, but I was thoroughly unprepared for how massive this thing is. I think I've only seen atlases larger. Should be fun to read!

    Ive got a smaller Krazy Kat collection and it's amazing. I haven't seen this one but Sunday paper size sounds excellent!

    Great to hear of another Krazy reader. The format is really nice, but I should mention that about half the strips are in black & white. Apparently these Sundays were published before color made it into newspapers, or at least the funny pages. The publisher is Sunday Press and they've given the same treatment to at least a handful of other comics. There's an Oz Sunday strip that I'd never heard of that I'll probably get sooner or later, too.

    Thanks. I found it. I remember there was a video on Youtube from an old French Tv show about this guy or another French collector of robots. But I can't find it anymore.
    Nice. If you like old comics, you should keep an eye on the new Little Nemo's edition by Taschen which is coming in a few days.

    Yeah! I'm very excited about the Nemo volume! 708 pages! The thing must be massive. I've only read a thin volume of Nemo up till now, Wonderful stuff.
