    What, no talking Al Gore doll? "You are listening to me talk."

  2. shanep   22 years ago

    Those 12 inch Star Wars figures are highly valued.

    All of them bring several hundred out of box in good condition. In box brings even more.

    IG-88 mint in box can bring close to 1,000 dollars.

    "You are hearing me talk"

  4. Mark Fox   22 years ago

    Maybe I'll get a Coulter and a Franken to make photographs of them "coming to terms".

    Really, I'm holding out for the AC with "realistic parts".

  5. Hydroman   22 years ago

    I want the Jan-Jack doll that drops her top after being bitchslapped by A.Powell.

  6. Russ   22 years ago

    I like to pick up discarded action figures at yard sales and use 'em for target practice. Its especially fun if ya tape 'em to a can of strawberry soda pop. mmmm. expendo-bots.

  7. Rambo   22 years ago

    I use the homeless.

  8. Julian Sanchez   22 years ago

    Really, I'm holding out for the AC with "realistic parts".

    Like that Adam's apple?

  9. Steve in CO   22 years ago

    Good one Julian! 🙂

  10. Steve in CO   22 years ago

    Good one Julian! 🙂

  11. Mark Fox   22 years ago

    Sure, I'll take the adam's apple if it is included. I prefer manly women to girly men. Maybe AC is my ideal blending of the two?

  12. Kevin Carson   22 years ago

    Mark Fox,

    As far as I know, she's had the hormone therapy, but she hasn't gone under the knife yet.

  13. Dink   22 years ago

    I'm still waiting for the lifesize Britney Spears doll
    with the Kung Fu grip, dontcha know.

    Oops, I did it again...

  14. Kevin Carson   22 years ago

    I dream of a Genie
    With a six foot weenie,
    He gave it to the lady next door.

    She thought it was a snake,
    So she hit it with a rake,
    And now it's 5 ft 4!

  15. shanep   22 years ago

    Those 12 inch Star wars figures are highly valued.

    All of them bring a few hundred loose, and several hundred in box.

    IG-88 mint in box can bring around 800 dollars.

  17. Mark Fox   22 years ago

    When the surgery is finished, I'll take him to San Francisco for an illegal wedding. No law is going to keep me from marrying the former-woman I love!

  18. dj of raleigh   22 years ago

    What a queer title!
