The Force is Strong

For those in the area, I'll be speaking at the annual Ohio Star Wars Collectors Summer Social this Saturday in beautiful Lake Milton, OH.

Not sure what the topics will be. Something about some "Space Wars" movie and the junk they put out to promote it or something...

Megas Vs. No More Heroes...

I loves me some Destructoid, and apparently they loves them some Megas. Read on for the awesome rant.

Megas Makes Another List

Tomopop.com nerds out about Megas in a recent article/list - "While it's a canceled show from an American network, there is no reason as to why Kaiyodo can't make my dreams come true make a Megas Revoltech. The do-all mecha has only seen two releases, an extremely limited action figure only offered on Cartoon Network's online shop and a statue from DC Direct. The main reason I'd like to see a Megas XLR Revoltech is that it truly embodies the super robot spirit."

Super robot spirit...I like that.

The Megas Toys That Never Were...

And speaking of toys, here' s a still from the fake Megas XLR action figure commercial (available on the Downtown DVD) we made for a Cartoon Network staff meeting. A friend crafted the figs and Jody made the Megas and Glorft mech. The Megas was based on a Gundam.

Coop had "Rock On" action, and Kiva was supposedly anatomically-correct. Not sure what Jamie did - if anything. Megas had lights and sounds, but I think it was all Gundam-type stuff. Each of the figures was given to the respective voice actors, and the Megas went to our exec at CN.

A number of crew made cameos - writers, artists and even our supervising producer, Chris P, who's creepy performance so disturbed the execs, we had to cut most of it out.
