I seriously need one of those to keep my cats off my keyboards. The little fuckers hit keyboard shortcuts that I don't know how to undo sometimes.

Totally unrelated, I am working on my toy plan for when I paint my office and hang the shelves. Off the top of the my head, I want one figure to represent each of the following:

Movies

Star Wars - TBD Black Series
Aliens - TBD... I want a very representative actual alien.
Predator - Either the original Predator or the muddy Dutch; leaning toward the predator, because...
Terminator - I want a Schwarzenegger here so that he is represented, as well as the series. One with some metal showing would be ideal.

Games

Castlevania - Simon Belmont... I'm going to have to pay aftermarket prices, since I didn't pull the trigger when I should have.
Half-Life - Gordon Freeman, because to me he represents the series, Valve, and PC gaming better than anyone else.

Sports

Baseball - David Wright... I need the one in pinstripes batting.
Football - Drew Brees (Purdue version)

So that's eight definites that actually exist. I'm thinking 10-12 total would be ideal, so that gives me wiggle room for new ideas and/or releases. Some others on the list would be Gremlins (Stripe or Combat Gizmo), Uncharted/Tomb Raider ($60 Play Arts Kai is painful), Batman/Iron Man/Turtles (for comic representation), Indiana Jones (don't know of any good ones), G.I. Joe (I wish they had a 7" series for consistency), Transformers (probably FoC Grimlock), etc.

lol, my chick was doing one of her online classes last night and one of our cats decided it needed to lay down next to the laptop (probably for the heat from the exhaust) and rest his front paws and chin on the right hand side. She was trying to type and it was all BEEP BEEP BEEP.

Picked up one of the Arnold Predator figures...this thing is pretty fucking amazing. The likeness is dead-on and the detail is fantastic. I skipped the second Arnold figure (vest w/muscle shirt) as it wasn't quite as impressive as this one. Besides, I don't really need more than one.

Also picked up Chell. I love this figure.
