    #11 and #12 have a slogan that sounds like a name for a Mind in Ian Banks' Culture stuff.

    And I covet #5 something awful. #robots

    I've got #12 sitting next to my computer at home. Sadly, Spaz-Bot lost his ability to walk and shoot sparks over 20 years ago (he also tends to list to one side and then fall over if you're not careful)

    That still didn't stand in his way when becoming a totally sweet ride for my Jawa action figures, who fit conveniently into the battery compartment on the back.

    I tell you, the Empire would have been much different if tiny sand gnomes riding inside 30ft tall flame-shooting mechas had run the place!

    But why does #12 not have a bellybutton stud in real life?

    #12: In an effort to flesh-out [sic] and legitimize the Twilight-universe, director Chris Weitz decided to revisit some of Twilight's less-explained subplots. Commenting on Miss Hardwicke's work Weitz is quoted as saying:

    Note: This is to be read in your best Spinal Tap voice.

    "I remember watching Katie's first film and finking to meself. My God, vampires is heroin addicts. Blood is the ol' Horse. So naturally I grew attached to the Jasper character. When they called ol' Uncle Chris up and asked me to do the job, I had three words for 'em. Yes and blood suppository.

    Long...I know.

    You forgot to mention Yu Yu Hakusho and it's coutnerpart, Flame of Recca.
    DragonBall (the original) sparked a huge amount of "Martial Arts Tournament" Manga in the late 80's, early 90's.

    @Sakurafire: Yu Yu Hakusho is awesome. I remember taping episodes from Adult Swim to watch again. Kurama and Hiei kick ass.
