I just got my own USB rocket launcher :-) Awsome thing. Plug into your computer and you got a remote controlled office missile launcher with 360 degrees horizontal and 45 degree vertival rotation with a range of more than 6 meters - which gives you a coverage of 113 square meters round your workplace. You can get the gadget here: http://tinyurl.com/2qul3c Check out the video they have on the page. Cheers Marko Fando Want to start your private office arms race right now?

That'd be awesome! I'm half-asleep right now, so perhaps I might fail to be coherent, but I think that having a system like that for action figures would be the best thing since... mushroom ravioli! Ideally, I'd say there should be, in my humble opinion, 2 sets of standards. The first standard would 5" scale and the second standard would be 12" scale. There would be no others, because then we'd be back to how things actually are and, as you said, the Turtles will end up dwarfing Batman. Now, one really cool thing, I think, would be if characters not only adhere to this uniform, but also have size relation between them. For example, April is supposed to be considerably taller than the turtles, so she would be made accordingly. As much as I really like the really old Turtles action figures, it always kinda... bugged me that Super Shredder was the same size as regular Shredder. As for the new movie toys... the whole "bigger than the other figures" thing is kinda the sole reason I haven't bought any of them. Needless to say, I'm still going to definitely watch that movie, come March 23rd. Even if the action figures based on said movie don't impress me much, it does not differ my opinions about the upcoming movie... but then, why should they? Ha! I am rambling... perhaps I should go to bed before I end up writing a flippin' book here as opposed to a simple response. Scale guidelines? That'd be awesome!
