Crap Star Wars Toys
Whilst shopping for the young in ToysRus the other day I heard the standard conversation coming from the Star Wars aisle about how the Star Wars figures aren't as good as they used to be. Well these people obviously had more luck than I did at Christmas time. I personally believe my parents had some kind of agenda to buy only secondary characters from the Star Wars universe, my collection resembling as it did an episode of Extras. My best friend had the Millenium Falcon, an X-Wing, Han, Luke, Leia, Vader- the usual suspects basically- I had a Twin Pod Cloud Car, Rebel Transporter, Jawa, Snaggletooth, Walrus Man (aka Bum Mouth), SnowTrooper, General Nadine and assorted supporting players.
Needless to say I still had hours of fun, thanks to the good old imagination and by the end of 1982 Jedi had managed to supply a good selection of the main players and Ewoks. However of all the obscure characters I had, there was one who just couldn't figure alongside his fellow cast, who simply refused to be coerced into performing any function within my play other than baldy man with mum's blouse on.
Yes, Lobot has to have been the least played with of all my Star Wars toys and I still can't figure why my parents decided I would much rather have him than say, Chewbacca. Even if you've never seen a Star Wars movie, you get an inkling that perhaps Lobot is not a major player in the whole Empire Striking back. (saying that, he is the reason Leia, Chewie and C3PO escape the Empire's clutches so maybe I should give him a little more credit.)

Are you ready to get your guts kicked out?
Anyone who is familiar with DJ Shadow or Cut Chremist will no doubt be familiar with Thunderkick, the trailer for which is sampled on Brainfreeze. I've no idea what the movies actually about, but lines such as 'The Cannon Group has just given you a Dare! Dare you face face the biggest karate, kung fu blockbuster of them all!?!' are awesome.
Strangely this guy came out looking a little like Al Pacino in Cruising which I saw for the first time the other day. Big Jockstarp Cop just out of shot I guess.

Easily identified by his love of Vinyl Figures and Japanese Sneakers, clouds and rainbows are never far behind Mr Creative.
