    I think the only acceptable torture chamber for GI Joe would be a diabolical device that focuses the intense heat of the sun directly onto one of the soldiers.

    Anything else is selling out.

    @HockeyMountain: How about a theater where the only thing showing is "GI Joe: Rise of Cobra."

    The producers could have saved a lot of money and just hired the Robot Chicken animators to make their movie using action figures. I'd actually consider paying money to see that. Otherwise? As I've said before, it's Megaforce/farce for a new century.

    I originally thought those Twilight action figures were just a badly re-spraypainted 10th Doctor and Rose.

    On the more realistic side, except for the Anakin Skywalker dolls, these have the most realistic/same emotional ranges of the actors who they are modeled after.

    the Trek figures are called "super deformed", I'm pretty sure.

    The Japanese do it for their characters all the time.

    The word is "maquette." Marquette is a city in Michigan.
