I doubt it's an homage, this lineup seems more cartoon oriented and they're probably just cashing in on a story arc from season whatever. The original dino turtles from like '96 look better than these and it's been almost 10 years.

As a consumer it's my God given (America enforced) right to bitch about the products. Just as it's yours to like them, but you don't see me telling you not to like them or to stop saying how much you like them.

Yeah, you have a right to bitch-- but I'm not sure comparing Playmates Toys to a ruthless dictator who was responsible (on some level) for the extermination of 6 million innocent Jewish people is appropriate.

I actually like the feel that Paleo Patrol has. It could be better, but then it could be a lot worse.

I don't know how accurate that is... but that number came directly from SpinMasters... I'm sure if they had done the survey in December or something it would be higher, but during summer months, we are buying a HUGE percentage of them in Canada at least

Yeah, cool info for sure, glad to know I'm not the only one going to checkouts with a bunch of toys and getting funny looks

CJ: I never compared Playmates to Hitler.... I only said nazi, which wasn't supposed to be taken literally, but rather used as a figure of speech.

You said "Playmates Hitler" and there is NO comparison between the two.

You're right, I forgot about that. It was just a figure of speech lighten up. It happened before you wre even born anyway. You wanna whine about the crusades too?

(I'm kidding dude don't take stuff so seriously)
