lady_t_220Ohhh and I forgot to add... I also found the X2 Wolvie headknocker in Forbidden Planet today.
There are two things odd about this.
1: I didn't know the headknockers were out yet. Or the new electronic X-Jet either for that matter. And I know it's the new one because it has the new uniform Wolvie in the box with it. It is really expensive though.
Oh and the headknocker's HUGE. I thought he'd be about the same size as the bobblehead Wolvie I have, but literally, bobblehead wolvie is just the same size as X2 headknocker Wolvie's face. It's really, really surprisingly massive.
And odd thing number 2: WHY IN THE HECK WAS FORBIDDEN PLANET EVEN STILL OPEN?
You may wonder at my confusion, because people keep telling me that FP have closed their branches. I even asked R at work to see if it WAS still open when she went to Nottingham a couple of months back and she said it was goooone...
But lo and behold. It was still there, same as always, selling X2 Headknocker Wolvies and electronic X-jets that cost an arm and a leg.
And typically, the face of the Wolvie with the X-Jet seemed nowhere near as weird-looking as the faces of the other new Wolvies. I'm also a lil' ticked cause I have alllll of the first movie Wolvies and now I can't get all the second unless I fork out for the jet.
*shakes fists* Damn you, merchandising!
But yeah, anyway, I have a headknocker. He's VERY cute... ;)
