    Given the way that corpos usually cape for talent, one has to wonder if they do indeed know more than we are privy to yet, apparently several pre-trial hearings have been held which i guess is where they are submitting or challenging the submitting of certain evidence & statements, etc. but with Hulu dropping him too it doesn't seem good.
    It had actually slipped my mind that some DMs have been revealed on social media that as well as the domestic abuse he's allegedly been doing a Kricfalusi, and grooming underage girls via social media, that's probably making him more radioactive than the domestic abuse & false imprisonment charges.

    One could call it "The Glitter Effect"?

    EDIT: @Siege Fan I have followed some breadcrumbs, and, seriously, I would advise don't look into it unless you really want to give yourself the dry heaves, stuff like podcast interview conversations where he "humorously" says stuff like:

    Definitely not helping his case :oops: 

    I see Funko are releasing a Walt Disney Pop (the man himself). I was a little surprised at that, but then I looked into it and slowly but surely his rep (and none of it was ever proved, truthfully) has been getting shinier in recent years. Didn't know he was said to be an FBI informant against supposed communists though! For me personally it's no good trying to make a judgement call on that, there was full on hysteria wherever you lived back then. What's interesting is Funko is usually an early indicator of wider licencing happening, so Walt might be due a restoration...

    If they do a limited edition of just his cryogenically-preserved head in a jar on a pedestal, I will probably buy my first-ever Funko

    Excellent, according to the advice I need a niche. My niche will be based around Watford Gap service station, and the potential for fruity liasions there. Like a racy soap opera for the staff and punters that pass through. Imagine the Venice carnival, then instantly roll that idea up, punt it in the bin and think instead of a love triangle between Bev Callard, Michael Elphick and Paul Hogan. In WH Smiths, the arcade and the travel lodge grounds.

    Rocky from Boon has to show up as a sort of Keanu-type or it's no dice.

    @Astro-Furby FYI, the £9 shipping would make it expensive alone if so. Easy pass for me personally.

    Mattel Creations God Evil Lyn from Teela's Big Adventure?

    That'll be a no :p 

    Next Masterverse figure for me should be Hordak, Amazon are saying it'll be here by February 8th.

    Looking at Mekaneck sat on the Ripper and ALF stood next to him on my computer table. No regrets whatsoever :D

    Food firms raising prices unnecessarily - Tesco - BBC News

    I'd say that's patently obvious but Tesco also just topped a table that can be summed up as 'unnecessarily expensive' a few weeks ago. I mean walk in and so much is somehow precisely 25p dearer, it's especially noticeable in crisps, chocolate, ice cream and other treats. Tens and tens of firms all came to that one decision, did they Tesco? No, you're acting like a cartel and pretending you're a shining knight in a bloodbath, as cartels always do.
