Welcome to a special, double-sized email update. Why double sized? because we never sent one last week. Our bad.<\/p>\n

We start two Saturdays ago, with a bookend to a review that everyone's probably forgotten by now. What happens when you take the floor from the set of Hee-Haw and dress it up like a homeless person? This figure: http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdh3s.php<\/a><\/p>\n

Have you heard the controversy about Janeal Lee, the Wisconsin teacher who won a wheelchair pageant, but was stripped her of her title when the pageant officials found out she could stand for brief periods? Bastards. Bet they wouldn't like this figure, either: http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/ml9_px.php<\/a><\/p>\n

And now, a little something for the ladies: a hot, shirtless guy. Hope you go in for those \"world conquerer\" types. http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdh3r.php<\/a><\/p>\n

Name this character: created at the beginning of a hot, upstart company, this guy draws upon dark metaphysical forces to combat evil, wrapping himself in a huge red cape. Nope, not him: http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/ml9_ds.php<\/a><\/p>\n

Not too many companies give us figures of a comic's civilan characters; it's not like ToyBiz ever made a figure of Paul, the guy who gasses up Captain America's plane, you know? But here's a civilain that's really pretty cool: http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdh3cg.php<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, a lot of times the civilans are better than the characters who headline the comic - there are tons of B, C and D-listers in every comic universe, but not many of them get high quality figures: http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/ml9_dl.php<\/a><\/p>\n

Ever wonder where the cliche of \"the butler did it\" got started? Beats me. Maybe we should ask this guy: http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcdh3a.php<\/a><\/p>\n

Couple items from our board, the Loafing Lounge. First of all, a discussion of Conan series 2: http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/cgi-bin\/forums\/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=2;t=1089<\/a><\/p>\n

And then a look at Jazwares' new Mortal Kombat figures: http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/cgi-bin\/forums\/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=2;t=1091<\/a><\/p>\n

And a mini-review of the Eye of Sauron: http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/cgi-bin\/forums\/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=362<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
