Definately interesting, but I must say, when my horse transforms into some freaking huge entity and goes running off to fight evil while sprouting generic catch phrases, I am SO going to be ready!

On a side note though, after seeing the giant penguin go lumbering down the road, I was thoroughly confused, as last I had heard they were only stealing gold. And all I can say is I don't know what I'm going to do when the Giant gingerbread man comes along. Aside from the obvious Shrek reference with the "gumdrop buttons" quote he said (kudos to whoever put that in, I came THAT close to breaking character), I think seeing one of those walking around will take the cake, or the figurative gingerbread. Better start stockpiling milk now.

But yes, I think as a whole the best bet is to try to find some giant five year olds. As any toy can probably attest, no toy can stand up to a five year old. Ever.

Anyhow, I guess the point of this post was to give some kudos for an overall cool and different event. I will certainly say that those little dudes made me laugh pretty hard, and I will miss them.

All the toys are for sale at the regular toy price of 15db by the good professor, Gargle von Fixit - though only for a limited time! Most people can manage to find the 15 toys to kill to afford one, so if you have a favourite.

I've actually enjoyed pretending I hitched a ride on the ship and interacting with the Professor.

I can only come in for brief visits at this time in my life, so I enjoy being able to drop in and say Hi.
