Shortly after our founding in 2002, I sent an email to ToyFare<\/i> magazine, answering a question they asked in their \"FanFare\" letters column (they wondered about what body was beneath Anya's<\/a> bunny suit - if you also wonder, the answer is in that review). That letter never saw print, and after all, who can blame them: they're not about to give free publicity to a website that was, at most, two months old - we might have been dead by the time the letter saw print.<\/p>\n

Anyway, in this month's ToyFare<\/i> #163, we finally appear on the letters page!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No, they didn't finally find our mail at the bottom of some huge backlog of unanswered messages, though it would be funny to imagine it so. Rather, it's just a random one-line blurb.<\/p>\n

See, ToyFare<\/i> is on Twitter<\/a>, and to promote that fact, every month they run a few random Tweets they've received. This month, we're one of those random lucky folks:<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Want some context for that out-of-context Tweet? Okay! ToyFare asked<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"In our newest issue, we destroyed a Tron: Legacy figure. Do you guys want to see more demolished toys? Because we have a bunch! Sound off!\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To which we replied<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Rip open ToyBiz's ML3 Thor, finally tell the world what body is under that rubber torso sheath.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, we've really been wondering about that since May 22, 2003<\/a>. Some mysteries are eternal...<\/p>\n

<i>And now, some more OAFEry:<\/i><\/H5>
