I'm not into either but I thought some of you geeks would be ecstatic about this news.

33 is the biggest age demographic of people who play video games.

I'm not sure what it is for action figures. I stopped when I was about 13.

Ha! That's truer than you know and for all the wrong reasons. 18 Rated violent video games are blamed for the ills of today's society and yet it's the mothers and fathers who happily buy these graphic murder simulators for their "innocent" little children. How fun!

So you will be doing it differently I assume? Nothing but Teletubbies and Spongebob games untill they are ten. Then carefully start them on Mario and Zelda untill they are 18, when they are allowed a Tomb Raider.

I'll be going muuuuucch further than that. No unmonitored web access, no video games which are rated older than they are permitted, no mobile phones throughout their childhood, no Facebook profiles, no Rihanna music videos etc etc.

Jaws and The Goonies however will be permitted and indeed introduced. Healthy scares and adventure that doesn't talk down to them is to be encouraged.

Urgh, I hate overbearing parents.

Let your kids run free and wild! They might catch a cold, or chlamydia when they are in their teens. but it will teach them a valuable lesson

Those were Kenner figures, in the exact same scale and style as the Star Wars figures. I wonder how hardcore they were in reproducing these. Like, did they get the paint jobs right?

Hmmm...so you guys are "we" now?

The fact is that life is Hard. Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ren, that's a dumb question... skip that.

Seems like a bit much to me, but hey it's all up to you. The cellphone and Facebook thing is a given, I think. Rihanna yes because her music sucks, but show them some good music videos! :P

I think the reason we all love films and their music as much as we do is cause our parents didn't prohibit us from seeing some serious shit when we were kids.

In 50 years Herrmann will be forgotten.

I have the smaller NECA figure. It suits me.

KM, these figures are pretty awesome. They were supposed to be released by Kenner when the movie originally came out, made in the exact same style as their Star Wars figures.

My parents were pretty cautious about letting me see "serious shit." 30 minutes of TV per day, and I always had to ask permission.
