It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. I’ll give you a link on your web blog. I recently came to know about http://toysuae.com/, their Electronic Toys are very effective.<br /><a href="http://toysuae.com/electronic-toys/" rel="nofollow">Electronic Toys</a> Thanks for sharing.<br />Ahmed Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898919471630030610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-19661506611787827842012-04-22T12:17:00.203-07:002012-04-22T12:17:00.203-07:00Heehee, does that mean you sleep draw?Heehee, does that mean you sleep draw?Randomnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216600316804854172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-81362387042199502132012-04-21T15:34:59.247-07:002012-04-21T15:34:59.247-07:00thanks, i'd like to take credit for that but i...thanks, i'd like to take credit for that but it was purely unconscious . .i mean subconscious on my part.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-91361781889398488642012-04-21T06:01:47.203-07:002012-04-21T06:01:47.203-07:00You know Dave, I think I just nailed why I like yo...You know Dave, I think I just nailed why I like your artwork. It kind of reminds me of those old sci fi pulp magazines. Not in the coloring, but in the way you position your figures.Randomnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216600316804854172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-74832585940970144342012-04-21T06:00:20.726-07:002012-04-21T06:00:20.726-07:00You know why it sells it?

It's such a shame that, other that what I found by Google as pictures or that sculptured David posted by Helder M. http://heldermblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/gallery.html Have ever seen any other action figures.<br />I Loved the comic and probably would have killed to get a McFarland like style action figure with the big time true detail showing Rom as he should look!zhaanmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559104254378962941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-6815697678231898472012-04-18T15:17:52.025-07:002012-04-18T15:17:52.025-07:00oh man Lee that was a great heads up because i had...oh man Lee that was a great heads up because i had never read that RSR (Rom Spaceknight Revisited) interview before. for all who may be concerned here's the money shot (as it pertains to this posting)from that interview with the creator of the ROM doll: <br /><br />RSR: What do you feel could have been done to make the Rom action figure more successful?<br /><br />McCoy: Better marketing.
