Toys 'R' -- Uh?

Went to New Divisoria Mall to source cheap toys for Ynee's sister-in-law's store. Whilst wandering around the stalls looking at sad imitations of Japanese robots/American action figures/Barbies, gimcrack novelties, lopsided stuffed toys, basketballs, and every single kind of pellet gun under the sun (as well as a whole bunch of those weird little plastic eggs I used to love collecting when I was a kid), I arrived at a burning question that I must remember to ask people who have actually watched the Fantastic Four movie.

"Does Michael Chiklis, The Thing, actually use two katana swords at any point in the film?"

I must remember to go back there and take a picture of that action figure...

For those of you who may think that most of these toys are all pretty sad, I must say in their defense that they're created for good clean fun. Unlike a certain stall in the 168 Shopping Mall I could mention that's filled with statues of hentai/pornographic Japanese anime schoolgirls...but's that's another post, for another day.

The Japanese Anime rental shop that I go to here in Melbourne City China Town has heaps of those, statuettes of little Japanese schoolgirls in very compromising positions... sheesh!

Maybe the Thing used to be a Leonardo Teeange Mutant Ninja Turtle... "Kawabunga dude, it's clobberin' time!"
