I am obsessed with 2 things.

Kucinich (what can I say, never could let go)

and Iron Giant toys. I scour e-bay daily for their remote control walking iron giant, the power hero, and the ultimate iron giant. I got this stupid 4" figure because I'm cheap and these fuckers are expensive, for my son for Christmas. He lost it. I got him another and bought a spare just in case (and because I've learned how valuable these things are). If you haven't seen the 1999 Iron Giant movie, go now and see it. Do it. Now. It's my son's favorite and I have to say, it's right up there for me too. Truly brilliant and entertaining, and I cry at the end every time. ANYWAY. I digress. I really want one of the Trendmaster toys (originally $8, $20 and $30) for my son. They go for $30-50, $50-90, and $100-300 now, depending on the version.

I am going now.

By the way, you'll hear dark shit here but it's because this is where I put it. Not to worry in case you do.

Ha - another friend, [info]blau, has a foot-tall Iron Giant toy in a nook in his hall which reacts to the loss of light, of all things. You switch off the hall light and hear something along the lines of "iron! yummy"

The greatest retelling of Frankenstein, ever.

Oh that's the one I want for him!! It's the Power Hero one. The Ultimate Iron Giant is almost 2 feet tall with that same feature, but that's the one going for $100-$300 a pop (and I'll be damned if I pay that much for one)! The other I would like is the remote control walking one. I really don't know which one I want more. Obsessed, obsesssed, obsessed...
