Ahhh - coffee tables and guest chairs are overrated! Sofa, big TV, and 1:18 scale Hercules is all a living room really needs! And perhaps a few candles and a throw over or two for the ladies?

Ya know..., if Hasbro doesn't have the rights to the earliest Palitoy figures (either :skip: and the gang, or the even earlier figures such as :arctic: , :deepsea: , :german: , :frogman: and :desert: ), then they're really missing a trick. World Peacekeepers (or someone like them) could easily start churning-out generic SAS Troopers :attack: by the bucketfull...

I see your point, Kraken old buddy. But i must admit... I can't help missing oldschool figures such as :beaver: , :muton: , and the original Star Wars toys.

Like that, but good.
Just re-reading this thread. This is a good question, but I get the feeling Hasbro would just tell us to go and ask Devil's Due... like they did during the last set of questions. :(
