So true. And Indiana Jones is chuck full of disposable evil and incompetent Nazi gun-fodder.

Yes.  It's like the Wehrmacht assembled all the dumkopfen of the 3rd Reich, and instead of assigning them to guard POW camps as they did in reality, sent them to battle Indy.  They are also I think, very two dimensional villains the the Raiders films, though I think this is on purpose as they are being portrayed much the same way they would have been in the films of the 1940's.  Think of "Major Strasser" in "Casablanca," who is an extremely arrogant and very two-dimensional evil Nazi with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

As to Westerns, Serigio Leone seemed to love opening his films by killing off incompetent bad guys.  Clint Eastwood seems to have borrowed much of what he learned doing Leone's westerns and incorporated into the gunfights in High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider.

Interesting and sensible analysis.

The result of a miss spent youth. Also, when you combine Clint Eastwood plus evil arrogant Nazis who's only purpose is to get shot, you get "Where Eagles Dare. "

Ah, thanks again for all the Fun ! So Great

This one is not for to discriminate against short people, don´t laugh....

Very cute. Love the chubby unicorns T.

Nice one, Ephiane! And I second Stryker's comment about the chubby unicorns.

Lieutenant Dan, you have NASA metal legs now!

Tee hee, is this where we say 'Run, Forrest, run'?

Very appropriate reactions... glad it rang a bell and turned on some light bulbs!

Nice one, Guv. Glad you finally got Forrest. So many funny possibilities for meetings with that bench.

What are the chances that they are simply lost and asking for directions?

"Hi!. Is this the park where the Society for Creative Anachronism meets?

Lol, TPB — as someone who used to LARP in parks back in the day, I can totally see it.

I agree. And it is a very good likeness of Tom Hanks...

These things are easy when you are fed the right image.

So good! Both the vikings and forrest, thanks for the laugh of the day bro!

Good afternoon. I am Ingmar Ericson. This is my brother Olli.

Thank you very much and you're welcome!

Gosh, I love all of these! I especially liked the depressed Obi Won. And I can relate most to the "tall guy/short girl" one...because I have a tall male (M36A) and a really short female (I don't remember her designation). The figures in that one are super cute! I look forward to visiting this topic again! Hopefully I can contribute some as well!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked them; and I'm sure Ephiane is too. Looking forward to your contributions.

chris, is he embarrassed by what he has or rather what he does not have?

Hahaha! Perhaps he's merely trying to conform. Conform to some guidelines. ;o)

Better than winter!

From the Replitronics review (HERE), comes this little challenge:

He should have put on a shirt and some manddles.

If manddles = sandals, or footwear in general, yes, that would be one reason the machine is not cooperating. But look for two more.
