For the love of money... what next folks? If these things are programmable, why not have them reveal selected cards as well? This brings us way beyond the graven image. I want a Chtulhu figure, and perhaps a golden calf too. And of course the programmers interface. Still miffed that Tiger did not release the full spec on the furby.
...to all the coins I've dropped here

This could provide the ultimate answer to the "How did you do that" question.
"Well, I made this deal with Chtulhu [or your choice of deity, good or evil] . . ." and out comes the figure. POB |

Messengers of Faith for $24.99...I'm in.
I wonder how they could be programmed to say whatever I want. Man overboard.

Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy; The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, And I've a many curious things to show when you are there. Oh no, no, said the little Fly, to ask me is in vain, For who goes up your winding stair -can ne'er come down again. |

I have a plush one that I've been trying to find electronis for so that it will vibrate while commanding all to bow down in subbmision.
When it's done I'll have a tickle me Chtulhu

Forget the programming. Put a cell phone inside it and speak the words yourself. And it vibrates. Thanks, Payne!

Chtulhu...Let's hear some phonetically sounded pronounciations...
in other words spell out phonetically HOW you say the name... D

A more common and probably more accepted spelling is "Cthulhu."
According to H.P. Lovecraft, who should know as the ancient one is a primary demonic character in his work, the name is pronounced thusly: "The actual sound - as nearly as human organs could imitate it or human letters record it - may be taken as something like Khlul'-hloo, with the first syllable pronounced gutturally and very thickly." "The best approximation one can make is to grunt, bark, or cough the imperfectly formed syllables Cluh-Luh with the tip of the tongue firmly affixed to the roof of the mouth. That is, if one is a human being. Directions for other entities are naturally different." For more detailed information consult the always authoritative work "The Call of Cthulhu" by Lovecraft for more knowledge about the tentacled one than you would ever really want to have in your head. |

But, are they anatomically correct?
Will there be playsets such as "The Red Sea Adventures" or "The Plagues of Egypt Action Set"? Does JC sink in the bathtub or float upright? Can't wait to see the passion series. Sheesh, I'm going to hell. |

Yes, the accesoories should be very interesting.

Nothing wrong with knowing your lovecraft! But to be fair it is all werid stuff, and I can recommend it for a good read. Been a fan for many years now

Five biblical verses, eh? Perhaps something along the lines of...
'Thou shalt not make false idols' 'Suffer the children' or 'Jesus wept'.

I've always wanted to make "undead Jesus" action figures. There would also be a Cave playset, complete with mystic-actionTM boulder. The commercial (read in "announcer voice"): "... but roll away the stone and reveal undead Jesus, back from the dead and ready to kick money-changing butt! Squeeze his arms and unleash a powerful table destroying kick! Peel back his robe and touch the new active-gore systemTM spear wound--proof that he's the one and only... UNDEAD JESUS!"
Or something. -Travis |
