    I imagine it's only a matter of time before Pixar/Dreamworks make a war movie out of all the delightful pieces of dastardly office-death available these days.

    Side note: Anyone else just a little surprised the army men from Toy Story didn't get a spin-off?

    @OCEntertainment: I think the Toy Story franchise pretty much covers this. If it's done by Dreamworks, no doubt it'll have a slew of higher-profile (under or overutilized) celebrity voices, and not much else (with the exception of Kung Fu Panda for being awesome in its awesomeness).

    I'm not sure how much intrigue there could possibly be in the Toy Story army men. In either case, I hope that the 3rd flick is the last. I can't see it getting any better after that.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Oh, frankly, I would've been fine with just the first Toy Story. Not that the second was bad. But Pixar does well with single movies, and sequels are almost always bad. I don't want to see them make sequels unless they *want* to.

    That being said, the fact that Disney didn't squeeze the franchise for all it's worth was a little surprising. A pleasant one, but a surprise nonetheless.

    In any case, Dreamworks *does* need to make a toy movie out of violent office toys. It'll suck, but dangit, I want to see my wildest, most violent, most gory toys-versus-average-joe fantasies played out on the big-....

    Wait. Nevermind. *goes to watch Small Soldiers*

    @OCEntertainment: I thought the second Toy Story was excellent actually, but trilogies are tough.

    Ack Small Soldiers. I wanted Chip Hazard to tear the Gorgons in two.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Oh, yes. Small Soldiers is average at best. But you gotta admit it's worth it to see a young Gregory Smith/Kirsten Dunst get attacked and terrified by plastic toys 1/8th their size.

    @met2art: Yeah. That was TOTALLY unrealistic. However, using one of those electro-touchy-discs to duplicate military-grade artificial intelligence microchips? I've never seen such realism.

    Set it up next to my door. Tell people it's real.

    Mr. President, we can not let ourselves fall behind in the pen-holder race. The very concept of a scotch tape gap is frightening to the continued survival of our great nation. I demand immediate work on developing a superior, US-themed pen holder/rocket launcher.

    Something about Pacman with teeth strikes me as particularly sinister. The black paint job isn't really helping either.

    If it was yellow, I would probably buy it as a quirky work-desk accessory.



    Although, if it was yellow, THEY would probably have a copyright infringement cease and desist letter from Namco-Bandai as their desk accessory.

    @LegallyBored in NYC: I was thinking the same thing. Geeks demand accuracy in their movie/game figurines and these guys missed the mark.. just checked their site and you can get it in white (ugh).. Licensing for this couldn't cost that much. The franchise itself isn't exactly pumping out much more than cell phone re-hashes.

    @Skeetz: Maybe... but I am sure that whatever the licensing fee is, it is WAY more than this "made in Thailand" product is willing to pay and still stay within their cost structure. hahaha. That's if Namco Bandai would even give it. Don't forget they still actively sell Pacman products and those products are a big draw at the Cons:

    It looks like a fun thing to have on your desk, but, I think its impractical size and shape would negate it to nothing but a toy. It looks as it it would easily roll or fall over and isnt very ergonomically shaped for the hand. Cute but not practical.

    This seems inherently counter-productive.

    @92BuickLeSabre: Yeah, and everyone knows a staple won't kill a ghost! It will just staple right through them. They have to be swallowed! When they are blue. Moral of the story: this stapler will only staple blue pieces of paper and no other colors.
