About this Episode

TFG1Mike and Josh the FloorBurger dive into Display Case with two wildly different figures: the bizarre early-90s Sewer Spitting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line, complete with beachwear and water-squirting action features, and a Funko Pop Voltron that impressively captures the iconic five-lion formation in four inches. They explore the weird gimmicks Playmates crammed into TMNT toys over the years, paint app failures, and why one traveling Michelangelo has become a cherished collector's companion across multiple vacations.

Alrighty then. This is Scott Toy Guru Nightlake

and you're listening to the GeekCast Radio Network.

Hey, this is Scott Toy Guru Nightlake and you're

listening to ToyCast. And now, ToyCast, oh yes,

listen in to the only toy podcast you will ever

need. Hello and welcome to an all new episode

of Toycast. I am of course TFU and Mike. This

is episode 171. Yes, that is correct. 171 episodes

of Toycast. We are the Toycast Radio Network's

Toy Discussion and Topic Podcast. We've been

around since 2009, 2010, somewhere around there.

And we do something called Display Case. Skeletor,

say your line. Don't touch! Alright, we're in

the display case, and tonight we are going to

be forming blazing swords as the sewers spitting

turtles. Spit sewers spitting stuff at us, I

guess. Yes, am I going first? I don't know. I'm

just like, I'm like, what am I going to name

this episode? And I'm like, which, you know,

you mentioned to me you were really gonna do

turtles or spawn, and I'm like, yeah, I'm not

that... I don't dislike Spawn but I'm not as

like that conversation I would basically have

nothing to say about Spawn because I saw the

movie years and years ago but I don't follow

that that character or that franchise so you

are going with sewer spitting Michelangelo I

am going with Funko pop Voltron so that's why

I said we are forming blazing swords and you

can go first I can go first it doesn't matter

whoever wants to go first and go first Will go

ahead and jump in first all right, and I do want

to address The difference between eventually

one day. I'll be talking about spawn the original

spawn Comic figure that came out. I want to say

maybe 94 95 which toy experts if there is a such

thing often cite that as the transition in action

figures from being just for children to possibly

also being for adults as well. That's the awkward

phrasing of when a children's toy becomes an

adult toy, which you really need to be careful

when you Google adult toy. Yeah, don't don't

Google adult toys. Yeah, just just don't say

adult action figure. Don't ever say play thing

or anything like that. But what a pattern that

is. It was yeah, it was a figure that I'd never

had as a kid but it was something that I had

seen a lot and I had a couple of them and It

eventually will come back on the display case

because I have a weird little story of how I

got to it however What we're talking about is

a figure in the Ninja Turtles toy line That as

you kind of alluded to it has one of the most

unusual action features that you can find in

Ninja Turtle toys and if you look through the

history of Ninja Ninja Turtle toys They went

after almost every single action feature. You

can possibly think of yep. They went through

Let's just start at the beginning really quick.

They had the crazy wind -up ones that did everything

from spin a weapon to quote -unquote swimming.

Yep They had, let's see, again, the wacky action

with stuff they did. Oh, the pizza shooting turtles

where they held like a pizza oven. Pizza throwers.

Yep. Love the pizza throwers. The storage shell

turtles, the talking turtles, the head dropping

turtles. It has a lot of progress through the

years. They got weirder. The mutating turtles,

the Let's see. Where's my other? Wacky action.

They never gotten a light up. I think as far

as I can tell they never gotten a light up But

then the gimmicks rolled in And so the ninja

turtles or anything, but just basic ninja turtles

and never really we're just saying let's just

make a more ninja Let's let's give them jobs.

Let's give them hobbies. Let's give them part

-time deals Let's basically make them LARP live

-action role play because I am looking at a picture

of the four of these figures And it's just the

basic turtle figures in clothing. Yeah, and in

this particular series, the Sewer Spitting, it

was its own sub -series. It was the Sewer Spitting

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I have the carted

figure in my hand. I actually own a loose and

carted version. And holding it in my hands, this

is around when they had the sports turtles. So

track and field Leo power lift and Don. This

is also when the movie star turtles were out,

which are some of the best Ninja Turtles figures

that came out from that time period. Yeah. And

then some other interesting mutants, I think

some of the best mutants that they had from Murdo

to scale tail, Monty Moose on and so forth. But

this was something that caught my attention as

a kid. I remember seeing these. I felt that,

hey, these are kind of interesting and The reason

being is that they We're still semi like I always

cared for the ones that were semi believable

as far as the variations These are just the turtles

in beach clothes and if you look at that picture

for like you're saying you look at it I already

lost mine. I'll just pull it up on our Skype

chat and if you look at that it's the sort of

search of beach culture that was very, very popular

in the early 90s. Oh, absolutely. It was. Yeah.

So I'm going to go from Rafael, who is dressed

up as a typical bicyclist at the time. Yeah.

And then you jump over to Leonardo, who was a

lifeguard. So wearing like neon green trunks,

he had a tight tank top. That's a lifeguard.

And you can't really tell because they don't

do a lot of pain apps on these very necessary

pain apps. Yeah, no, like I said, it seems to

be the general I'm trying this because I've never

really meant I've never really noticed too much

of like Oh, that's the same tooling or oh, that's

the same head or that's the same body I will

say the torsos and the legs on all of these look

like The exact same ones of the original four

that were released except I know they're not

because on the legs they all have Better like

Mikey looks like he's wearing sandals even though

they're painted green and not a different color.

It looks We'll come back to that in a second.

Okay, and So one of the reasons why I like this

now is that it hits two things that really work

in my collection one crazy 90s neon mm -hmm and

To like outdoor beach tiki wear which fits part

of my bar collection right and all of these guys

kind of fit in with that More or less. Now, the

weirdest part on all of these is the spitting

feature, which we'll come back to later, but

I do want to address what you were saying about

the reused parts. They look like they're reused.

I can't determine that just from the pictures

without comparing. I don't think many of these

use reused parts. Maybe they reused the original

sculpt and then had like clothes sculpted over

them. That's why they might maybe look similar.

A lot of these are unique parts that don't ever

get reused, but their outfits get a lot of paint

apps. And the more I'm learning about the way

the toy industry functions is that paint apps

cost money. And every time that paintbrush puts

out a new app, it costs more money. And so from

every flower on Michelangelo's shirt to Donatello's

metallic reflective sunglasses, to even Raphael

has a good number of paint apps on his figure.

Those all cost money. So they had to cut them

in other places. And if you ever see this toy

line and you look at the original prototype pictures

on the back of the package and stuff, the paint

apps are amazing. They're they have additional

colors. The accessories are painted. The accessories

look amazing when they're painted. There's painted

detail into their outfits. So Leonardo, if you

look at the picture of the four, Leonardo looks

like he stepped in a giant pile of poop. I'm

not kidding. Like that's literally what it looks

like. Yeah. And if they had painted it a different

color, it would be a giant pile of poop. Well,

it actually he's supposed to be stepping, I think,

on a bottle of suntan lotion. So. The original

prototype it looks like he's stepping on something

that the lotion is just blur being out of yeah,

okay, so it's not like a Molding issue. It's

not like extra plastic that's been added on it's

supposed to look like that But without it being

painted you can't tell what it is Yeah exactly

because I kept I've been staring at this thing

for the last ten minutes before we started the

show when you send me this picture I'm like wiped

up is that because I'm like, wait a minute. He

doesn't have like a third Seventh toe of growing

a like it looks like a piece of fun like again

paint apps and I understand they cost money whatever

else but if that was painted a different color

or saw even if it was painted like a neon color

like not the turtle green that Leo is like Something

else maybe we could decipher what the hell it

is But at first it was like does he have a foot

growing out of his foot? What the hell is that?

Yeah, and some other issues with the line is

that you know, there are some really unique very

Interesting accessories that get zero pain apps

from a unicycle for RAF for Donatello He gets

a volleyball and a squirt gun But the interesting

thing is that they all get some sort of handheld

beverage so The lifeguard Michelangelo we're

talking about the whole series now the lifeguard

Michelangelo gets a what looks like a classic

pop bottle RAF gets some sort of soda cup Donatello

gets a soda can and my favorite is Michelangelo

he gets a Kiki mug with a umbrella on it and

a big straw and it fit his hand. Okay, and I'm

glad you experience planning this because I gotta

tell you when I first saw that I'm like, why

is he drinking out of a watering can for plants?

Well, it's obviously made a little bit more exaggerated

and what's what's interesting is that if you

look at the prototype pictures versus What is

actually produced it looks like that might have

had a handle or it was meant to be held from

the bottom and There's like a loop on it that

looks like it might yeah Try to represent now

like a slice of pineapple on the side of a drink.

Yeah and that's what my my version holds that

with and The reason why I now love this figure

and I have one carded even though the card is

all beat up and I have one loose and I actually

just found a beater one that just needs a new

hand The reason why I love this figure is that

he's been one of my longest traveling figures

for years I don't remember when I first start

traveling with him, but going to Disney, Florida

going to he didn't go to I don't think he went

to Vegas with me But he's been to Punta Cana

He's been a bunch of places with me because he

just looks like the ultimate tourist ridiculous

figure to go different places and So I've brought

the one I have downstairs in the bar right now

He doesn't do the sewer spitting action the sewer

spitting action mind you it does work. You can

fill stuff in there I think that fits about maybe

an ounce of water I feel like the sewer spitting

action comes from a brief scene in one of the

Ninja Turtle movies where one of the turtles

gets his head put into a fish tank, comes out,

and then he spits at a foot soldier right in

the face. He does that thing where you force

water between your two front teeth. Okay, so

I know this like the back of my hand. It's in

TMNT 1 from 1990, and it's actually Donnie that

does it. Yeah, it's Donnie that gets his head

dunked and then all of a sudden he's looking

at the foot soldiers. Oh Obviously doesn't make

that sound effect But that's you know, he spits

water out at the you know, whatever and Donnie

always got the great stuff I mean Donnie and

Mikey both got all the great comedy bits in the

movies so I'm not sure necessarily if That was

the inspiration for it or it was just a cheap

gimmick of that Playmates had available to them

And they're like let's go with it soft backpack

because that soft backpack for squirting water

is something that it's a gimmick that gets used

actually Quite a bit in other toy lines. It's

not uncommon. Yeah but I It's it's just such

a unique Figure in the series where it's still

Maybe a little believable if the turtles ever

went on vacation or something. It never really

Got my attention though as a kid because I still

always sucked to and I still have most of my

if they're not duplicates they're the originals

I still have most of my turtle figures from when

I was a kid and I Rarely ever went to anything

beyond what just looked like a basic turtle.

Yeah There's the the four disguised turtles I

got for that one Christmas we've spoken about

a bunch of times That's not as crazy as it got

for me. I never really went beyond that Yeah,

I never did either because I was never like by

the time so this was what the neon turtles were

like what? 92 93 these were 92. Okay. Yeah, so

92 I was 12 years old I was More into Super Nintendo

at the time at Christmas in 92 going into 93

I had moved from Massachusetts to Kentucky and

and all that and everything else and yeah, but

the most the two most like special non like The

two most special turtles that I ever really paid

attention to were two things. It was Undercover

Dawn and then it was the shell heads, the pop

-down, the we're hiding in our shells turtles.

Oh, the head dropping turtles, yeah. Yeah, those

were the two that I always kind of gravitated

towards. I always preferred the original figures

because I wanted as close to the cartoon as I

could possibly get. I had as a kid, 12 year old,

I had zero interest in these neon turtles. And

I think we all kind of hit that point in our

play patterns of it's not just like, oh, give

me any random thing. I think younger kids may

be glommed onto these because clearly with how

many you can find out in the wild, how many bins

of just dirty random turtles you can find being

sold at toy shows and toy stores. is that these

were appealing to kids at some point. They were

the turtles, they had the name on it, they were

easy gifts. I know that almost every single turtle

I ever got was a gift from an adult. The spitting

feature is weird. It's got all sorts of adult

connotations we're not gonna get into. Trust

me reading the description, which I don't think

I can read the description without feeling really

uncomfortable. You want me to do it now? Well,

fine, I'll do it. Beachcomber Mike spits in the

eyes of danger. He spits in the face of fear.

Let's face it. The boy loves to spit spit. He

does. Mike is one beachcomber who always has

his pompous pineapple drink loaded up. and ready

to splash in the face of the foot. This sand

scouring, not sand scouring, scour in, sewer

searcher loves to dig deep for buried treasure

and yesterday's lunch. And if some dumb dune

dude thinks he can lay a claim on Mike's find

or food, he'll soak the dirty dude with his sewer

spitting action. And for those really tough crooks,

Mike has the Blast them boombox gun loaded Looped

and ready to fire. So if you're on the wrong

side of the law be warned Beachcombe and Mike

will find you So I feel like Josh the floor burger

is the next announcer on the playboy channel.

I Mean so so let's let's talk about how this

sewer spitting crime fighting Ninja Turtle Fights

crime If you're doing something wrong, which

might mean you are taking his lunch from him,

or you are taking buried treasure from him, his

first approach to taking care of you is to spit

on you. Like, there's no, hey buddy, stop it.

He just spits on you. And if that isn't enough,

If that isn't enough, he takes out this legitimate

machine gun and shoots you. There's no ninja

fighting. There's no busting out nunchucks and

karate kicks. He spits on you, and if that isn't

enough, he shoots you. And then he pulls out

his lube. Oh boy, yeah, I have a problem with

this figure now. I mean the figure looks cool,

but like the way they describe this thing is

like Like again like I said I was 12 So I was

about you know kind of growing almost growing

out of the action figure stuff at the time But

imagine kids today with this to oh my god. They

wouldn't know what to do with it. Oh jeez Well

what they were thinking I think you have to get

away from emphasizing this spitting part because

that's just kind of it's it's a bit much Yeah.

But it's not water features in action figures

are classic. I have G .I. Joe's that had water

squirting features, whether it's a backpack or

a vehicle. There's a jet in G .I. Joe that literally

doesn't have shooting missiles. It has a squirt

gun handle and you fly around the jet and you

squirt stuff with it. That stuff is very classic,

but you don't. It's not. GI Joes are spitting

in the face of Cobra. That's not really a thing

that occurs. No, technically it would be the

other way around. Cobra spits in the face of

GI Joes. Yes. And to be perfectly honest, again,

it's a weird gimmick. I don't really ever use

the gimmick. So each one has a different style

backpack. So Michelangelo has a guitar. That

you could fill with water. Mm -hmm Mine is currently

filled with sand from putacana where we went

on our honeymoon Okay, I just I took it to the

beach sat there and just spent some time putting

sand in it So it won't function anymore. I pretty

much ruined it But it's like I said, it's special

because it travels with me it it it has seen

the stuff it has been in front of the castle

at Disney World Where I think it's a Walt Disney

is holding hands with Mickey and pointing out

the distance So I have the Hoff and I have this

Michelangelo Standing there taking like duplicating

the picture with that statue in the background

Wow, so yeah, that's crazy. It's a fun figure.

It's it's a must -have if you like beach 90 stuff

and It's just a shame. It did not get the paint

apps that would have really made this thing pop.

Oh before I finish Mm -hmm. So there was a re

-release of this that I was not aware of until

we started researching for this and I'm gonna

guess 1997 or so right around there. There was

a re -release and It comes from where to go This

is so exciting This is riveting radio everybody.

It's okay. Just So it says I want to guess maybe

it was 97. It's the TMNT 10th anniversary series

that came out. For some reason, I'm assuming

this 1997 or 98. It's gotta be 97 or 98 because

that's when the toy line started. So this was

out in a Ninja Power Teenage Ninja Turtles series

that came out. And it's really funny, though,

because the original toy that I have in my hands,

the package says, new, squirts water up to 48

inches. But the re -release in 1997 squirts water

up to 24 inches. So In those couple of years,

the spitting power decreased by 24 inches. Geez.

That's crazy. It's safety, kids. It's all about

safety. Yeah, it really is. I mean, if you think

about it, so yeah. So yeah, I don't have, I mean,

I have something similar. It's not, doesn't have

any action features like that or anything else,

but. It's a fun go -pop, as kind of sort of as

always, and I'm trying to find the right, there

we go, the right image of it. It is, I think

it's number 70. I don't remember if it is or

not. Oh good, that is a bigger. Oh yay, thank

you Entertainment Earth. Google images, folks,

don't get me started. I got sued. I almost got,

we almost, GCR almost got sued over a Google

image. So so yeah, but I am going to form the

blazing sword and we're gonna talk about Funko

pop of Ultron Whoo So my buddy Dan Lanay Dan,

I'm sorry if I if I butchered it He does rock

nerd radio on Hudson River on Hudson River radio

Dan and I talked about comics on the pull bag

for his origins. We talked about toys for his

origins here and Dan like most of my I mean I

have a good majority of friends now who are funko

pop fans and collectors Whatever else I also

have a majority of my friends that aren't are

not funko pop fans and collectors and he has

several of these and whatever else and He was

like, yeah, I'm trying to get rid of some of

these and I don't really know like whatever whatever

whatever So at the time I looked up on the funko

app to see what cuz he had Voltron here out of

the box so didn't come with the box so it was

basically just a loose pop so loose figures fine

but I looked it up on the Funco app and at the

time it was going for like 17 bucks I'm like

look I'll pay you 25 bucks shipped so I paid

him 25 bucks shipped and I have the the loose

Voltron Funco pop in my hand and it looks very

good it's very interesting how they did The fully

formed five lions as Voltron. Oops, sorry, I

hit the microphone. Obviously, the red lion is

the right hand, the green lion is the left hand,

the yellow lion is the left foot, the blue lion

is the right foot, and then in the middle it's

the black lion as the body and the head. But

it feels like a Funko pop, but it also feels

like a specific... Different miniature action

figure if you see what I'm saying because does

it have any articulation? No, no, no, no it doesn't

Because and the reason why it doesn't have any

articulation is because and most funko pops don't

actually Yeah, no his head doesn't even turn

I don't think it turns a little bit but barely

so the reason why some of the funko pops why

they don't hit like Some of them their heads

do turn Most of them don't if they have a specific

feature or they're holding something or if something

is in the way Okay, so he has his if you look

at the image I sent you He has his form blazing

sword and the way that the sword is formed it

basically comes The picture kind of lies the

sword in the picture sticks out more out out

from his body The one that I have that Dan sent

me, which is fine. It doesn't really stick out

from his body. He's basically stabbing himself

in the lower left jaw, essentially. But that's

fine. That's neither here nor there. He's only

going to be on my shelf, whatever. But the cool

and interesting thing about this for me is just

how they worked in a Funko Pop head along with

the giant black lion head. So if anyone knows

how Voltron works. The lions come together, they

form the arms, the legs, the body, and usually

there ends up being a face where the black lion's

head would be, but usually the black lion's head

is around the face. And they were able to do

that very well in a four -inch figure that really

shouldn't be this good, but it is. And I really

love it, and I'm a huge fan of Voltron. I've

always been a huge fan of Voltron. Lion Force.

Lion Force forever, folks. I don't... get into

the vehicle force or whatever the third whatever

that third one was lion force vehicle force and

there was another one back in the 80s but anyway

lion lion force is the most popular one with

keith and pitch and lance and princess alora

and hunk and and uh karan and zartan not zartan

um zarkon And I'm remembering all this just off

the top of my head, folks. I'm not actually looking

at anything. It's how much of a fan of the Voltron

I am. So no, I just I think it's great. It's

a nice little out of box pop thing. And I do

have some pops out of box. You know, I don't

all I don't have them all trapped in their boxes.

But like I got a bunch of Star Wars pops over

there out of box. That's a whole other discussion

for another day. But yeah, turtles and Voltron.

Blazers blazing lions roaring. Yeah, I dig that

figure it I'm looking at it and I think as much

as I've poked fun At pop figures and I probably

always will to an extent. Yeah, you know what?

It's fine. It's okay. It's not that big of a

deal I mean, don't get me wrong. There's there

are some pop figures like I actually have From

when we first started podcasting, huh? Have gotten

more So I still have the two Goliath pops those

are some of my oldest somewhere I have an angry

beaver pop. He's hiding around here somewhere

I have the lilu pop which blew your mind that

I have that loose and just sitting on my shelf

Well that blew my mind because I'm like which

version because like one of the versions of the

lilu pop is like crazy expensive if you have

that I think it is or you those fifth element

pops man Boy yeah, and I got it for clearance

when it came out and And then I have a fallout

pop which I don't remember where that came from

but I have and then I also have and I can't forget

it Video game pop correct not fallout boy not

Pete. Yes, and then I have the Michael Knight

one that you sent me that I'm still wanting to

create a proper place for all of my Knight Rider

stuff, which it's coming but We were getting

new flooring so I have to reset the room in the

next couple months anyways, so I The thing I

admire about pops and I think they do this every

so often is that They're releasing certain toys

or properties Voltron if you already try to get

a good size decent Voltron right now. We're talking

about 100 200 300 400 bucks depending what company

you get it from Yeah, but if you just want Voltron

and you don't care about it being a giant transforming

Voltron this does it this does the job you need

oh, yeah, absolutely and You know, I I could

look through and see if there's some similar

Power Ranger ones So if I ever wanted to sell

my Power Rangers ords and just get the pop versions

if they're ever out there They're probably cheaper

So I don't know which ones of them are actually

vaulted now. Some of them are more expensive

than others, but there are a number because I

have green and white Ranger because it's Tommy.

I have Lord Zed and I have I think I think those

are the main three I had, but they do have Power

Rangers pops. Well, only the only critique I

have of that pop and I don't know if anybody

actually like reviews them out there. Maybe plenty

of people do. But yeah, good. And this is maybe

the same thing. I'm looking at the Power Rangers

Megazord pop as well. Hundred dollars. Holy cats.

Forty dollars. OK, some different seller. But

is I know the oversized head is just kind of

an aspect of Pops that is just their aesthetic,

their style. But each of the heads on that. Voltron

of the other lions, they all have the same big

blank bug eyes. But I almost kind of feel like

those also have to be oversized oversized each

one of them because those are four other heads

so I Think there is a low so I what I have is

the four inch the regular size Funko pop version

of it I think there is a larger six inch version

of this I would have to do research on that to

actually figure out but I think there is a Slightly

larger version of it somewhere. Well, I'm sure

You know, there's just a funny little critique

of like, you know all that all the lines are

roughly the same size and Yep, they all have

at least they all have yellow eyes and they don't

all have well The yellow one has blue eyes, but

that's because it would be stupid if the yellow

one had Yellow eyes because you wouldn't be able

to see the eyes Yeah, now i'm just trying to

get all five of my cats to stand on each other

so I can call them boltron That's funny That

is so funny. Oh that okay, so I have Okay, so

without looking because my phone's on the charger

in the other room So I can't actually look at

the funko app and don't even get me started on

them I'm having issues with the funko app just

recently updated and it's a whole nightmare.

But anyway, I have the regular Green Ranger I

have the regular I have the white Ranger with

Saba. I have Lord Zed and I have the six inch

tiger Zord funko pop so that's one of the larger

ones that uh that they have out there for those

but yeah the mega zord actually the one i'm looking

at here on on amazon the glow in the dark one

the regular size one it's the exact same size

as the as the voltron one oh that's funny it's

uh glow in the dark and it's only like like 40

bucks on amazon But what's funny is, so Voltron,

as we all know, blue lion is the right leg, yellow

lion is the left leg. On the Megazord, the yellow

Sabertooth Tiger is the right leg, and the blue

Triceratops is the right, is the, yellow is the

left, they're basically reversed of each other.

That's funny. I always knew Power Rangers was

kind of like Voltron, but I never really like...

Really really looked at it, but yeah, no very

cool Man, I'm my dad. Oh, man. There's only one

left in stock order soon. Damn it. I Kind of

man you throw me down all kinds of rabbit holes

cuz now I'm like dang I kind of oh man the glow

on that thing is so cool the legs glow and Yeah,

I saw the top of the ah Am at what can I just

meet some rich alky and they leave me in there

will anyway Also, I can't I'm trying to send

you something through chat and Skype and I can't

what is that? I can't do it. What don't touch

the buttons There's something I just saw that

is way too expensive for either of us. So I think

one of the next things I need to do on this display

case, I want to tackle spawn, but I think I need

to also challenge myself a little bit and go

out of the mainstream. So I'm going to dig, I

think, for the next one, unless you had a theme

you were looking for. Well, display case is over

for this episode. We'll have to do it for the

next episode. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. It's

up to you. I try to keep these things loose and

just have fun with it. I don't go into super

detailed research. It's like, look, I have this

figure in my hand. Oh shit, I just dropped it

on my desk. You know what I mean? Like it's a

very very loose kind of discussion thing. It's

not supposed to be higher history of blah blah

blah No, I want to I want to go a little obscure.

You know, I yeah, that's fine I have a lot of

options from from sea quest to Last action hero

to a lot of stuff that people probably aren't

overly familiar with so Or maybe they remember

it and MC quest DSV. Do you have a Jonathan Landis

figure? Jonathan Brandis Landis or whatever his

name was. Yeah the the heartthrob kid Yeah, the

the guy from never ending story too. Yeah, I

might have a package one sitting on my shelf
