CLASSIC SUPERSTARS - COLLECTOR SERIES #12
INCLUDES COLLECTIBLE WRESTLEMANIA TICKET
NEW and FACTORY SEALED OFFICIAL WWE JAKKS PACIFIC ACTION FIGURE
MINT ON CARD (MOC)
Mint, eh? Grrrreat... Said card though lists Arn's main signature move as the "spinbuster"...? What in blue blazes is a "spinbuster"? His move was and is and will always be the SPINEBUSTER! Wasn't it bad enough that he was forced to be referred to as a "Brain Buster" (along with eventual preacher/pastor/reverend Tully Blanchard, his tag-team partner) during the relatively short and tentatively degrading tenure in the old WWF - in between two brilliant career-making journeys in the real NWA and then in WCW...
McMahon's circus would take the best from WCW, use it up, make it look bad in their circus and then let them go back where their heart was (WCW) as "tainted goods"...
And this action figure is the last drop!
A thinned down yet bulked-up, armwise, Enforcer - what is this? A deliberate attempt to make the figure "attractive" to the nitwits who only like BATISTA-type of physiques?!?
I thought you'd learned your lesson well with the whole STEROIDS SCANDAL DEBACLE, McMAHON!!! Seems to me like you need another lesson...
(A lesson in history too: do you know what a slimebucket the historically-significant Batista was, down in Cuba, Vince? Huh? I mean - forget about Vinnie Mac: there's a pest worth lambasting right there!!! But I digress...)
There is far worse out there for the kiddies and (k)ollectors alike...
FAR WORSE indeed!
How about that DESTREADER guy, eh? (Not to be confused with a despreader (dee-spreader) now; a despreader or despreading means combines the received spread spectrum signal with the second or inner PN spreading code to produce a first level or intermediate despread signal. An accumulator is used to accumulate this despread signal over the period of the second PN code or a chip period of the first code, and differentially detects the phase shift between consecutive accumulated signals, or decodes the accumulated signals. The detected signal is subjected to a matched filtering process, and the results compared to a preselected threshold value. In addition, the threshold value used in this comparison can be preselected or produced by determining an average value for the magnitude of the detected signal over the first PN code period. This value can be scaled appropriately.)
A "Destreader" would be hard-pressed to keep the pace of "desperate reading" (heh-heh) here, which is to be found to be in the order of 1.2288 Mcps (Mega/Million-chips-per-second) over any interval whatsoever...!!! He is, after all, into DESTROYING READING, or so it seems...! THAT takes considerably more time...!
Kids that are into the Mega Bloks toyline are therefore hinted at becoming prime targets for analphabetism, learning deficiencies and maybe even dyslexia...?!?
But I digress again, surely...
Are we spawning a generation of Mega Blockheads here?
Are we purposefully training a whole nation of Mega Blokes?!?
Say it isn't so, Mego Blocks! Sorry - Mega Blox? See - it is even dumbing LUMINOUS ME down here! Yikes...
Before we gaze at the destructive DESTREADER, let's see some of his friends - shall we? Nicer guys you can only find at the gates of Hades...
There are the LOST SOULS (in partnership with the PYRATES (nice misspelling there) and of course the hot licensed property these days, the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN!)
Then we have the MAGNETIX (no relation to Magneto and the Amalgam Magnetic Men!)Their main man is simply known as... Brutus! (That bodes well for a role-model...!)
And here is more - the *official word*, no less - on him...
Description:
Brutus is an accomplished gladiator who's up for combat with beast or warrior for sheer entertainment. Brutus is an ancient warrior whose battle gear includes 3 effective weapons. More impressive, is that he can shatter humongous boulders with the magnetic power of his voice. (Look at him, out of his plastic prison, below - unleashed! Unbound! Un... Unimaginative and unbelievably boring! But his attributed "twin" is worse still...)
Brutus' twin in combat is the futuristic warrior Alien. (That makes sense...) Brutus may also enhance his powers by combining and interchanging parts and weapons with all Magna-Man (figures).Your child will enjoy putting together Brutus' 20 magnetic parts and be blown away by his perfect-for-night battle eyes and light-up helmet.
An excellent way for your child to develop role-playing and imagination, strengthen hand to eye coordination and build confidence and self-esteem. Huh?!?
For ages 8 and up
Ah, but wait a second - LANCELOT is also among these "Magnetix" chix magnets types - yeah! THE Sir Lancelot, yes, according to this description:
Sir Lancelot is a highly revered knight whose combat style if chivalrous and heroic. Sir Lancelot is an ancient warrior whose battle gear includes 3 destructive weapons.
Sir Lancelot's twin in combat is the ancient warrior Robotor. (That makes even more sense - rrrrrobotorrrrr - Lancelot's "TWIN" - rrrrright!)
Sir Lancelot may also enhance his powers by combining and interchanging parts and weapons with all Magna-Man. (Methinks that a true knight of the Table Round would say "thanks - but no thanks" when offered to partake of such an "offer", though generous and altruistic it may be...)
Your child will enjoy putting together Sir Lancelot's 20 magnetic parts and be blown away by his perfect-for-night battle eyes and light-up helmet.
An excellent way for your child to develop role-playing and imagination, strengthen hand to eye coordination and build confidence and self-esteem. (Once again - "huh?")
For ages 8 and up
At 11.95$ a pop, these MagnaWarriors can hang in there with any Star Wars warrior and any G.I. Joe there is - and then some!
So there are various levels of ruffians here (MagnaMen... Magnetix... Mag Warriors... Magna-Saurs even! Whatever!!!)
Here is the actual culprit himself: DESTREADER!!!

Not a whole lot to read there, indeed...!!! Kids won't ever wrack (?) their brains with the devastating, delusional and all-together destructive DESTREADER!!!
And there is WORSE STILL out there - readily made available at every TOYS R US, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, Zellers etc... For ALL the kiddies to be perverted from! Yay! There is, indeed, the offerings from the kind TODDSTER.
Look at this one and guess what the TODDSTER called HIM...
(Note the funny thing about this picture: the site of origin would warn that "right clicks are disabled" - yet I still got it downloaded and uploaded here! Hey - it's all for educative lambasting purposes - so lay off, willya?!? Sheesh! Then again, the same damn site makes FALSE TOTALLY ILLEGAL TENDER, check it out right here:)
Let's make a deal, supercraptoys.com - I won't denounce you for putting out fake bills, and you'll leave me alone! Deal?
Producing counterfeit currency is still a worse crime than sharing thingies online FOR NO PROFIT AT ALL (lest the satisfaction of lambasting pests can be deemed "profitable" in any way whatsoever!)
Shades of To Live And Die In L.A. - !!!
Ah - he got out of his packaging - like the devil unchained after 1000 years!But I digress...
Important Information
Safety Information:
WARNING: Choking Hazard-Small Parts Not for children under 3 years.
(I'd add: WARNING - BLASPHEMER APPROACHING! *LOL*)
Product Description - From the Manufacturer:
We've imagined Spawn in a whole new way -- in the tradition of the great Saturday morning cartoons! Get ready to see Spawn, his allies and his enemies as you've never seen them before. An immortal warrior who has fought alongside the Forces of Light since before recorded time, the Redeemer has chosen to leave his post as a member of the Council of Light and join Spawn X's crusade -- placing himself between Mankind and the blind hatred shared by his former people and the Forces of Darkness. Figure includes two interchangeable heads (one with a helmet and one without), sword and round base.
The lone glimmer of hope: the site that had all those Pyrates/Lost Souls/Magnetix Brutes etc... Also had the venerable antithesis to all that: Baby Einstein!
Is that their idea of "the best from both worlds" though? Hmm... I disagree STRONGLY. Kids have nothing but high-priced CRAP nowadays - made with higher quality materials than ever before, with meticulous attention given to minute details as never before - but it is still CRAP AT ITS VERY CORE.
I am glad I am neither a kid nor a collector in 2007!
