Why is Mister Action (which was my nickname in high school, btw) stabbing that shark? Can't we all just get along?!?

Petite (TM) looks like she had some serious foreheadage there.

I will never forgive LJN for that terrible X-Men NES game :)

So funny ! On the 'Petite' page, it looks like someone hand-changed "twist 'n' turn waist" to "twist ing turn waist". Probably because Mattel actually trademarked the 'twist 'n' turn' phrase.

Probably even back then, you didn't mess around with Mattel or Disney !

Thanks for the great site and everything !

Sweet. Now the new Brick Mantooth figure can hang out with his creaky "fully jointed" LJN namesake. Look out Nurse Dixie …

Yep, I named Brick after Randy Mantooth.

I didn't know about the "Emergency!" figures, either. Very cool! BTW, is Randolph Mantooth (Paramedic John Gage) related to Brick??

The "Emergency!" figures are cool. I've never seen them before. It's interesting that they only made Johnny and Roy. You think they would have at least had a Dr. Brackett figure in the line. I can kind of understand no Dr. Early or Dixie (a girl figure in a boy's toy line?? Heaven forbid!) but one doctor would have been nice. Who is going to fix the people up once Roy and Johnny rescue them?? 🙂
