| 2338 | Article | onipar | Those are some good choices! I'm not sure I would have picked all of those, but they are definitely in my top 10. Nice article! | Jun 30, 2015 |  | |
| 2227 | Article | Vaporman87 | I loved Mannequin. Like you, I would watch it many times. I was fascinated by the idea of creating your own perfect woman (though I was not as fond of Weird Science for whatever reason). I had totally forgotten that James Spader played the bad guy here. He always did a bang up job as a bad guy/douche. It's fitting that he is playing Ultron in the Avengers 2. While I always thought Kristy Swanson (from Mannequin 2) was the more attractive female of the two, the first movie was far superior in every way. I think the second one kind of took the cheese factor to a whole new level that, even for the 80's, was just too much. | Mannequin - An Unappreciated Classic | Apr 27, 2015 | |
| 2231 | Article | Vaporman87 | I got in my truck this morning, started it up, and what was playing at that moment on the 80's on 8? You guessed it... Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now. LOL. | Mannequin - An Unappreciated Classic | Apr 28, 2015 | |
| 2232 | Article | massreality | :) Now thats a good way to start a morning. | Mannequin - An Unappreciated Classic | Apr 28, 2015 | |
| 2237 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I saw Mannequin for the first time a few years ago, I was just amazed at all the familiar faces. It was a real surprise to see "Captain Harris" outside of a Police Academy movie. This film actually has a lot of parallels to one of my guilty pleasures, Xanadu. Frustrated artist gets a magical dream girl to help him achieve success with multiple costume changes during musical montages. Yep, all that's missing is the roller skates. The original Buffy the Vampire Slayer was in Mannequin 2? This I gotta see! | Mannequin - An Unappreciated Classic | May 01, 2015 | |
| 2278 | Article | OldSchool80s | Fun post on an underappreciated 80s classic. | Mannequin - An Unappreciated Classic | May 22, 2015 | |
| 2228 | Article | Vaporman87 | Okay... I'll admit that the Legends of Batman series is intriguing, but all they did with the Batman Animated Series in '94 was crank out 40,000 Batman variants and one bad guy. Good grief, if there was one thing I DESPISED about the 90's, it was the onset of the "variant"! Yes, we had our share of variants in the 80's, sure. Terror-Claws Skeletor??? But man, Kenner... and to an even greater extent, Playmates... just went OVERBOARD with the variants. Such a waste of plastic. Nice Shadow collection you have there. I enjoyed The Shadow, but never though much about it after my initial viewing. I liked Alec Baldwin at the time (less so as years passed and he became a liberal nutcase), and thought he performed the role adequately. That Shaq had his own line of figures is proof that companies would just make toys of anything popular by the mid-90's (even more so today). | Kenner Action Toy Guide '94 | Apr 27, 2015 | |
| 2229 | Article | Mr Magic | Shaq had his own toy line, video game, and even his own burger. What didn't he have?! | Kenner Action Toy Guide '94 | Apr 27, 2015 | |
| 2230 | Article | echidna64 | Great read! As a kid I was really into the Jurassic Park and AVP toys. They don't make em like the used to! | Kenner Action Toy Guide '94 | Apr 27, 2015 | |
| 2233 | Article | massreality | I had all of those Nerf balls. I'll never forget my disappointment in the Siren one. It whistled alright, just not like it did in the commercial. I have a developing interest in the old heroes like The Shadow, Green Hornet, Lone Ranger, and Zorro. A few months ago, I sat down and watched The Shadow and was impressed. I don't think it's held up well, but I think if I had seen in 1994 when I was eleven, I would have loved it. I've been reading The Shadow comics that Dynamite created a couple of years ago. Garth Ennis (Preacher/Punisher) was writing them, and they were actually pretty good. I loved the covers Alex Ross did for them. He made The Shadow pretty friggin amazing. It's just a shame its a character that is unloved and forgotten. I'd love to see Hollywood reboot it. | Kenner Action Toy Guide '94 | Apr 29, 2015 | |
