Umm.. lots of those conversations get locked actually.

The religion ones do, but scroll back in the General Discussion and read some of the BS Donatello02 was allowed to say.

And what if i was to say a lot of stuff you say is BS? Does that mean the mods should make you change the Republic of Texas in your location? However this isn't the place for this discussion, and I know it's not going to change anything. I seem to remember you calling Reznorite a "whinely liberal bastard".

As for the 'gay' comments, that is really screwed up. I woulden't go around calling rap a '******' thing (please excuse me on that, but its a good example), so please don't use 'gay' as a put down. After all, I bet there are a few homosexuals on this board, and you would pry be supprised as to who they are.

I really don't care anymore about the gay thing. But man, look at those keychains.

..........

I'm not even going to get started on this...

Anyways... The Keychains look cool, But I would be afraid to use them. I'd be afraid of breaking one when taking it out of my pocket or something

I know, those keychains look so cool. I wouldn't actually use one as a keychain, but I think they would make cool little figurines.

Exactly, I have the Escaflowne the movie keychains tacked to a book shelf I have, I would probably do the same with the TMNT ones...

yeah so this answers my question!
i was waiting for these to come out!!!!
I have an old raphie one on my keys now.

anyone know how much they are?

Dude...now I have something else to search for so I can try to get my gruby little hands on it. Maybe I'll be lucky and find some of them at the exchange or the Walmart that I'll be going to today....heck maybe Rhinos will have them. That Rhinos always has cool, little known about figs and anime sound tracks.

I found them at a New England-based chain of stores called Newbury Comics, which sells CDs, comics, and all sorts of retro and gen X stuff. They cost $4.99, (got the Raph one, of course). They're pretty cool--smaller than the mini-figs, (which I also picked up that day) and completely new sculpts based directly on the cartoon style. I like the action feature too--but I lost the dummy soon after opening it, cuz Raph whacked it a little too hard.

My question though, is do they count as figures or figurines? Because if they do, then doesn't Playmates have the exclusive rights to produce TMNT figures of any size? The keychains are made by Basic Fun. The company also makes a huge array of keychain-type things for other licenses, like MOTU and The Simpsons. If they managed to get the license, then shouldn't something like Hero Clix be able to? I read a post somewhere here which had official word that they might not be able to, because Playmates had the rights.

okay, i looked at the packaging from my first wave 80's key chain (which yes is on my keys thank you!!!) and it wasn't licenced by playmates...but surge?? So maybe playmates just doesn't do keychains??!! That's my take.

Now there's my shot to build up a massive Foot Ninja clan if they ever produce them as little figurines. Needless to say, I think it would be a cool concept...but perhaps the prices should go down a notch.

I heard that the new key chains are being sold at Hot Topic. Gah... I need to find a way to visit the closest store.

Wha?? Why would he want to abandon it in Yosemite? The furry woodland creatures might've eaten poor Leo!
