[GRINDHOUSE TOYBOX] FRESH STUFF FOR JUNE 2024! NINJAS! WEREWOLVES! DRACULA! PUMPKINHEAD! GWAR! HELLVERINE! MORGAN FREEMAN!

 

 

I didn’t expect to do another one of these columns so soon, but a ton of awesome shit has been announced over the past couple weeks, so here I am again.

I’m hoping this column will take off so that I can have some suggestions for a new title, since “Grindhouse Toybox” isn’t hitting me just right. I just needed something to get this up and running! If you can think of something better, please let me know! I will offer prizes, once I have prizes to offer.

Also, I am particularly hoping to spotlight lesser-known toymakers here, so if you are one, please contact me at dailygrindhouseonline@gmail.com so I can help spread the word about your work! That said, let’s start with a famous brand from a well-established manufacturer.

In the last column, I started out by admitting that I have fun watching the Fanstream events that Hasbro does over YouTube. There have been a couple of those already in June. I didn’t get to watch any of them live, so be advised that what follows is an incomplete rundown. There are some really good action-figure websites out there, and I encourage you to read them too! I will try to make some suggestions in a future column.

OK, enough disclaimers! Let’s get this moving…

There’s a strong case to be made that G.I. Joe Classified Series is the best action figure line going right now. If you, like me, grew up collecting G.I. Joe figures, you’ll recognize a bunch of all of your favorite characters, with some modern updates* and nifty stylistic flourishes. The figures are beautifully made and super posable. Okay, none of them have kung-fu grip. You can never go home again. But I guess you can shop there. So I will cover some highlights from the G.I. Joe Classified Fanstream.

 

* (In retrospect, maybe “Stalker” isn’t the coolest codename. We’re something like 60,000 Lifetime Original Movies down the road already. Sgt. Stalker as a character remains cool as ice, but let’s not confuse him with that other guy out there in the bushes for all the wrong reasons. Be Stalker. Don’t be a stalker. Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.)

 

Alpine

Finally! Alpine! Remember, this man’s G.I. Joe code name is “Alpine.” He got that name from being the Joes’ Mountain Trooper. His real name is Albert Pine. Al Pine. Alpine. Whoa. What a coincidence! That worked out really well. Name becomes destiny. Nature or nurture, Mr. and Mrs. Pine?

Ask me about Corporal Joseph Momma.

Anyway.

If you’re a fan of the 1980s cartoon, you know Alpine is one half of an unofficial comedy duo (sometimes a trio) with his pal Bazooka. Bazooka was one of those comically dense characters who populated 1980s cartoons that from today’s perspective are at the least questionable and more likely, borderline offensive. (Did Bazooka have CTE? And if so, was it really safe for the rest of the team to have him carrying around… uh… a bazooka?)

Alpine and Bazooka also buddied around with Quick Kick. Bazooka has already had two figures in the Classified line and Quick-Kick just got one earlier this year (complete with a Frozen Fudgie Bar! The folks who make these figures are wonderful and I want to be friends with all of them.) So it was definitely time for Alpine to show up.

 

Iron Grenadier

Okay, let me see if I can explain this: The G.I. Joe team are the good guys. Cobra is the enemy. Cobra is “a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world!” But within Cobra, there are various factions. Cobra Commander is (obviously) at the top. He has legions of subordinates, including the Crimson Guard, his personal bodyguards, but there are mercenaries like Zartan and his Dreadnoks (#devil horns emojis#) in the mix. Destro, the guy in the iron mask, is Cobra’s weapons supplier. He’s got his own version of the Crimson Guard, and that’s the Iron Grenadiers. Got it?

(Yes, I’ve had sex before. With real live human beings!)

I only had one Iron Grenadier figure as a kid. I couldn’t figure the hierarchy out then, so I just pretended the Iron Grenadier was a unique character and I made up a whole new personality. Always liked that design. It’ll be cool to have this spiffy new version!

 

Iron Grenadier B.A.T.

>>sigh<<

Let me try to explain this one now: “B.A.T.” stands for Battle Android Trooper. A bat is a flying mammal, which isn’t exactly of a piece with Cobra’s whole limbless reptile theme, but as with so very many real-world terrorist organizations, it doesn’t take long to find glaring inconsistencies in the worldview. The designers of the G.I. Joe Classified series have been releasing variants of certain characters, and this is one of those. (Here’s what the basic version looked like.) As far as I know, there weren’t Iron Grenadier-style B.A.T.s in the G.I. Joe comics, cartoon, or original toys, but this variation makes a lot of sense logically, since Destro, as a weapons manufacturer, could easily farm out a small army of robots to back up his guys. I don’t think Destro was canonically the inventor of the B.A.T.s, but if I try to explain Dr. Mindbender to you here, I’ll never get done with this column.

 

Storm Shadow

NINJAS!

I hope we can all agree that one of the great contributions of G.I. Joe to the popular culture was the mainstreaming of NINJAS! At some point in the future I will do a deep dive into the subject of ninjas on film, and by my estimation there were already ninjas in film by the time G.I. Joe got going, but the explosion of popularity of ninjas in 1980s American popular culture was no doubt fueled, if not originated, by G.I. Joe introducing the concept to its mythology. Larry Hama is one of my personal creative heroes and without question an under-heralded creative force: FACT.

Snake-Eyes, G.I. Joe’s marquee character, was introduced as the team’s masked commando, and he was already cool enough but the subsequent development of Snake-Eyes’ history and the idea that he had authentic ninja training was what solidified his legend. Storm Shadow was kind-of sort-of Snake-Eyes’ opposite number, in the comics at least. In the cartoon, Storm Shadow more often squared off against Quick-Kick (the guy with the Fudgie Bar). In the comics, Storm Shadow had many more dimensions, and eventually became more of an anti-hero. But you can’t beat that quintessential Spy Vs. Spy iconography of Snake-Eyes battling Storm Shadow. “Good versus evil,” only in this case, the good guy wears black, and the bad guy, a NINJA, wears white. Even though the absolute goal of the ninja is stealth. You know, pure white, that color that totally helps the wearer completely disappear.

The above version of Storm Shadow is the look he received in 1988, “the camouflage version,” updating his classic white suit with some falling Tetris blocks. That’s the version I had, since by the time I got into collecting G.I. Joes in the 1980s I was way too late to find the original figure. This outfit, while arguably impractical for a ninja, is my sentimental favorite, and while I was incredibly impressed by the previous two Storm Shadows from GI Joe Classified, I will get this one too.

(Again, I’ve had sex. More than once. I just like figures, okay? A guy can be a total hearthrob and still enjoy collecting toys. Just because it may be a new idea to you doesn’t mean I don’t exist.)

And I will never apologize to anyone for my love of ninjas.

 

Jinx

NINJAS I SAID!

The 1980s were a primitive, gender-reductive time in America, and those of us who grew up in it, even the progressive ones, couldn’t help but be affected. G.I. Joe and Transformers were aimed at boys, as was He-Man (see what I mean?), and Barbie and My Little Pony were aimed at girls. Interesting to see how things have progressed a couple decades later. Barbie is a feminist icon and My Little Pony… well, we don’t have to get into that here. The point is, G.I. Joe didn’t have many female characters, and Transformers had even less. These characters began life as toys, and the belief in merchandising was that boys don’t buy “girl toys” — that is, toys of girl characters. Do you know how long I had to wait for a decent figure of Storm from the X-Men?

As for big-name female characters, the G.I. Joe team had Scarlett and Lady Jaye (Cover Girl: underrated), and Cobra had the Baroness, and that was almost entirely it. Jinx was an exception. She was a lady ninja who fought alongside the Joes. I had the original figure! She rocked. Only just this minute did it occur to me that there might be an Elektra: Assassin influence to Jinx. Anyone else think so? Just a little? Just me?

Cobra Commander

G.I. Joe Classified released a more elaborate update on Cobra Commander’s classic look early on in the line, but I’m sure there’s a ton of demand for Cobra Commander the way he appeared in the 1980s cartoon, so here it is! I always thought it was hilarious the way he wears a little ascot with two black buttons for snake eyes, but Cobra Commander is sort of a hilarious character.

From what I can tell online, the Fanstream also announced that we will soon be getting Dialtone (good guy) and SAW Viper (very, very bad guy, if you read the G.I. Joe comic), but I will write about those when they are up on the Hasbro site.

 

Leaving the world of G.I. Joe, we come to this improbable pair who would fit into that world pretty well, come to think of it.

 

Andrew Scott from UNIVERSAL SOLDIER

 

Luc Deveraux from UNIVERSAL SOLDIER

A company called Hiya Toys has made figures of Dolph Lundgren and Jean-Claude Van Damme from 1992’s UNIVERSAL SOLDIER. How great is that? It’s very great, but be warned: These are very expensive. Dolph alone runs more than the price of three G.I. Joe Classified figures, which aren’t cheap to begin with.

Still, I hope these sell big so we can get more familiar faces from the extended UNIVERSAL SOLDIER multiverse, such as Michael Jai White, Scott Adkins, Gary Busey, Jeff Wincott, Burt Reynolds, Kiana Tom from Kiana’s Flex Appeal, Xander Berkley, Bill Goldberg, and of course, Jerry Orbach.

 

If you’re looking for a cheaper figure of JCVD, let me steer you to Diamond Select Toys’ recent release of Van Damme in BLOODSPORT. This is already in stores and it costs just about as much as a Blu-Ray of BLOODSPORT, which is a movie beloved by Donald Trump, but don’t hold that horseshit against it. He also claims to love CITIZEN KANE. I think somebody once told him it was a really good movie about a rich guy.

 

 

 

Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) & The Tumbler

The immediate takeaway of BATMAN BEGINS and THE DARK KNIGHT is “How fun would it be to drive that thing?” But since most of us will never get to drive a Tumbler, the next question would have to be “How do I get a toy of that thing?” Just shy of twenty years later, here it is, courtesy of McFarlane Toys, but that’s not even the most notable part: It comes with a Morgan Freeman action figure.

MORGAN FREEMAN!

Yes kids, a Morgan Freeman action figure.

The only other time this has ever happened, to my knowledge, was in 1991 for ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES. So while nineteen years for a Tumbler Batmobile may seem like a long time to wait, it’s nothing compared to waiting thirty-three years to get a fully poseable Morgan Freeman figure.

“Good things come to those who wait.”

— Morgan Freeman.

 

Universal Monsters from Toony Terrors

NECA (that stands for National Entertainment Collectibles Association) is so consistently superlative. They do peerless sculptures of pop culture standbys like Freddy Krueger, Chucky, and the Ninja Turtles, and also characters you might never expect to see as figures, two examples of which we’ll get to in a moment.

Last month, I spotlighted NECA’s Christopher Lee Count Dracula figure, which is peerless work. It looks just like him, only smaller! And NECA has done just as beautiful renditions of the guys above – The Mummy, Frankenstein’s Monster, The Wolf Man, and Count Dracula – that look just like they did when Boris Karloff, Boris Karloff again, Lon Chaney Jr., and Bela Lugosi, respectively, were playing them.

If it’s pure fun you’re looking for over verisimilitude, though, then NECA has you covered there too. The Toony Terrors line has done Saturday-morning-cartoon-style versions of Ash, Chucky, Elvira, Freddy, Jason, Michael, and Leatherface, among many others, but before now, they had not yet gotten to the Universal Monsters. Now they have! Get some Fruity Pebbles and party!

 

David Kessler and Jack Goodman

So here is what I was alluding to, a few sentences ago. NECA did David Kessler in werewolf form not too long ago, and it’s a fearsome piece of plastic, perfectly capturing Rick Baker’s wizardry. They even did those horrifying Nightmare Demons! I figured they’d stop there. Turns out I need to dream a little bigger, darling.

Now you can pick up unfortunate travelers David Kessler (David Naughton) and Jack Goodman (Griffin Dunne) as they appeared before they walked down the wrong moors, and because NECA likes to provide you with options, Jack comes complete with his ghost-zombie look, while David gets his dream-monster face, from that great double-scare in the movie, and you know which one I mean.

Again, my instinct is to be grateful for what I’m given and not to ask any more, but in the spirit of dreaming bigger… How about a Nurse Alex (Jenny Agutter) and a Slaughtered Lamb playset, NECA? I believe in you.

 

 

 

 

But hey! NECA, as wonderful as they are, aren’t the only horror-figure game in town!

 

From Trick Or Treat Studios, we can start counting the days until these figures are released:

 

GWAR

Truly, I have buried the lede. GWAR ACTION FIGURES. “Featuring Balsac The Jaws of Death, Pustulus Maximus, Beefcake The Mighty, Jizmak Da Gusha, and Blöthar The Berserker. Collect them all to build the legendary Oderus Urungus!” COUNT ME IN. I accept this possible mission. I will dream this possible dream. I shall build Oderus Urungus! Trick Or Treat Studios also makes a pretty sweet little Art The Clown from TERRIFIER, but I haven’t had the heart to get that one because I don’t like to think about what he’d try to do to my Kitty Pryde action figures.

 

Papa Emeritus IV

Super7 is a company that puts out some really fun stuff, but in all honesty, the prices are a bit out of my range most of the time and I only have one figure from the company. (A No-Prize to anyone who can guess which character it is!) But man, this figure of the frontman of the band Ghost looks really sweet. I like that band. I like a band that commits to a bit. I’m not a KISS fan by pretty much any means, but I always respected the hustle. Life is just more interesting with bands who are willing to get into costume. Again, ladies and gentlemen, I give you GWAR. But also, Ghost is cool by me.

Bobby Digital

The Wu Tang Clan is not overwhelmingly known for their costuming, but here is Wu Tang mastermind The RZA in his persona as ‘Bobby Digital’ from the album of the same name, which I love because A) it’s great and B) the cover art was done by Bill Sienkiewicz (see below). Amazingly, I have now name-checked Bill Sienkiewicz twice in the same column. Good column.

 

 

 

THE ORDER OF THE CRIMSON MOON (freshmonkeyfiction.com)

This is something that makes me really happy. It’s a unique property, whereas everything else that has been featured here is based on pre-existing licenses. Rather than have me explain the story, please allow me to refer you to the Fresh Monkey Fiction site to learn about The Order Of The Crimson Moon. These figures look incredibly fun, and I love to see original ideas. As much fun as it is to get figures based on beloved movies, it’s just as much fun (maybe even more!) to see creators premiering their own concepts and characters.

 

 

But back to the movies! From Syndicate Collectibles, we’ve got two iconic B-lister beasts 0f 1980s horror cinema.

 

The Werewolf from THE HOWLING (1981)

I haven’t seen this movie in a while. Fellow werewolf freaks, help me out: Is this Eddie Quist? Or is it the werewolf that Dee Wallace turns into at the end? Don’t make much nevermind to me. Still gonna gotta grab me one. It’s a werewolf. It’s awesome. Look at it.

 

Pumpkinhead from PUMPKINHEAD (1988)

This is a must for me. For my money (and it’s gonna cost me!), Pumpkinhead has the single best character design of all the major ’80s monsters. Stan Winston is responsible for most of them, by the way, but this beautiful bastard, in my opinion, is his masterpiece. Once I get this, I will also hope that somebody makes a Lance Henriksen to fight him (slash: morph into him at the end).

 

 

Long column this time around. We’re in the home stretch now. But I can’t do this column without mentioning my beloved Marvel Legends. And some pretty fresh stuff is on the horizon.

 

I got stuck doing my day job during this month’s Fanstream for Marvel Legends. Unfortunately, no invasive surgery this month for me! So here are a few highlights. There were many!

 

 

 

 

“Strange Tales” as a Marvel series title dates all the way back to the 1950s. It’s almost always reserved as the waystation for the weird and wonderful. Obviously Doctor Strange got his run as the series’ protagonist, though randomly, Nick Fury also anchored the title for some time.

This iteration of “Strange Tales” doesn’t include either of those guys, but speaking for myself, there are some terrific and surprising choices in this assortment.

Marvel’s Dracula

 

If you know anything about me, it’s probably that I love The Tomb Of Dracula. It’s just that I’m mentioning it all over the goddamn place. Geez, I’m annoying. But I’m also right about this, and Tomb Of Dracula is perfect. This version of Dracula isn’t the 1970s Tomb Of Dracula Dracula. It’s the more modern version of Dracula, currently appearing in Marvel’s Blood Hunt event. I like this one because it makes me think of the red armor from BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA in 1992. I hope this figure is a massive seller so that one day soon Hasbro can make me a 1970s Tomb Of Dracula Dracula.

Brother Voodoo

Superhero comic books, like everything else about America, have a fraught relationship with race. While Jack Kirby and Stan Lee did a great thing with Black Panther, and Stan Lee and Gene Colan did a great thing with The Falcon, and on the DC side I’m not mad at Black Lightning or Black Vulcan (although I’m not sure why they can’t just be called “Lightning” and “Vulcan”), I’m a little more conflicted about the character known as Brother Voodoo, although I’m clearly not the one to write the book on this subject and I also sort of feel like “Jericho Drumm” is a badass alter ego. Brother Voodoo first appeared in Strange Tales #169 in 1973, when this kind of thing happened all the time.

Daimon Hellstrom

One of the great things about superhero comics is the recurring presence of Satan, in various forms. I never fully had a handle on Daimon Hellstrom, the Son of Satan, whose superhero origin is being… the son of Satan. I mean I get the concept, I just never could grasp his personality since most of the comics he appeared in were either before (the 1970s) or after my time. In my mind, Hellstrom was basically Namor the Sub-Mariner, only Satan instead of swimming. I like how this figure looks like a Skarsgård. Doesn’t matter which, but it’s Bill. It’s definitely Bill.

Lilith

Gotta be honest here: I had to look this character up. Shameful. I am a Ghost Rider fan, guys. Really. I swear! I’m a Ghost Rider fan! I just didn’t remember Lilith. Let’s see what the site says: “Lilith, the Goddess of the Underworld, is on a millennium-long quest to conquer the world as the Mother of Demons.” I did of course vaguely recollect a Lilith who was Frasier’s archenemy in the Cheers multiverse, but yeah, I admit it, I didn’t remember her from any of the Ghost Rider comics I read. Back to the shop with me!

Moon Knight

One of the odd blessings of living in the future is how I went from having no action figures of Moon Knight six years ago to having something like four Moon Knights now. Here comes another version. This one has gold bracelets and shinguards, which I think is how he looked when he was with the West Coast Avengers in the 1980s. That’s right. West Coast Avengers.

The Avengers started when most superheroes were based in New York City. At some point, Hawkeye moved to the West Coast and started up a team of Avengers there. Of all of the most counter-intuitive choices he could have made, inviting Moon Knight is one of the most. Only because Moon Knight is an avenger of the night who does his best work when the moon is out… you know, at night. It’s a little impractical to have some guy running around on the beach wearing all-white and a cape. Then again, maybe it’s impractical to dress like that at night in New York City. Not really the guy to call for when you want practicality. But hey, I like how Moon Knight moved out to LA and basically kept the exact same style. Only… he accessorized.

Bloodstorm

Count Dracula once fought the X-Men, because what is the point of comic books if you can’t have the X-Men fighting Dracula? Captain America fought mummies and even got turned into a werewolf once or twice. God, comic books are great. While I didn’t remember Dracula turning Storm into a vampire, nor am I complaining. I love Storm.  According to the official site: “A mutant and proficient thief, Ororo Munro was targeted by Dracula and transformed into a vampire known as Bloodstorm.” Okay! I’m down. What else would you call Storm as a vampire if not “Bloodstorm?”

Which reminds me: What do you call Wolverine if he gets turned into Ghost Rider?

HELLVERINE

Weapon of Vengeance

You see, when a Mommy Wolverine and a Daddy Ghost Rider love each other very much…

If you read my comics column, you know how excited I am about Hellverine. But I also still don’t really understand how this happened. So this, from the Marvel Legends website:

“HELLFIRE WOLVERINE: While on a mission with Johnny Blaze to investigate a new Weapons Plus program, Wolverine becomes imbued with darkness as the Weapon of Vengeance.”

If you say so! Let’s just look at him once more:

 

Not every assortment of Marvel Legends these days has a Build-A-Figure, but happily, this one does. If you collect all of the figures above, you can build

 

Blackheart!

Created by Ann Nocenti and John Romita Jr., Blackheart is the son of Mephisto, who is one of Marvel’s stand-ins for Satan. I don’t think he is technically Satan, or else that would make Blackheart and Daimon Hellstrom blood relations, which I think would make Blackheart even angrier than he looks already because Hellstrom got a cool pentagram chest tattoo and a staff, while Blackheart just looks like a Predator who has no mouth and only wants to scream.

Blackheart’s most hated enemies are Ghost Rider and Daredevil. The Daredevil thing might seem weird if you don’t remember that Matt Murdock is a heavy-duty Catholic. To Daredevil, Blackheart is the final boss, or the boss you meet right before you have to fight the real boss. Kind of like I imagine the Red Skull would be to Ben Grimm. This deep down into the column, all of the jokes are deep cuts.

 

Man-Thing

As if the “Strange Tales” wave isn’t enough, Marvel Legends also has a nice new Man-Thing on the way. They did a Man-Thing a few years ago, but this one looks more the way he did in Marvel’s Werewolf By Night special. The figure stands eight inches tall, as opposed to the usual six-inch scale, so I guess you could call it a

>>>say it with me now<<<

 

Now listen, I’d hardly be the first or the last to make a joke about Giant-Size Man-Thing, but how about the fact that his arch-enemy is “The Glob?” Jokes piling up upon jokes. Also: Ew.

 

And finally… from McFarlane’s DC Multiverse line we have something I never expected to see return in the year 2024, but then again, I guess, they did promise it’d be forever…

That’s right, baby. Four figures based on characters from Joel Schumacher’s completely deranged blockbuster BATMAN FOREVER, which in retrospect was only the warm-up. I am not going to apologize for how much I once loved this movie and how much I suspect I still love it, somewhere inside me, and beyond that, marvel — sorry, “DC” at how great these figures look!

Batman (Val Kilmer)

Michael Keaton is the best Batman. That’s never in argument. But who’s the second-best? There’s a strong case to be made for Val Kilmer. It ain’t Ben Affleck. It ain’t Robert Pattinson. Fight me. Fight me. I like both actors a lot, but come on. Christian Bale was really strong, but I’m gonna go with Val Kilmer. Especially if he had a more dour Batman movie around him? If he had a Nolan or a Matt Reeves directing? If Val got to be the craziest thing in the movie? Oh man. Just imagine the possibilities. Yeah, I like Val in BATMAN FOREVER. Val isn’t the problem.

Robin (Chris O’Donnell)

I like Chris O’Donnell as Robin. Sue me. He’s good as the back-up to The Guy. Chris O’Donnell got to be the Robin for “Weird Al” Pacino and he spent something like thirty years as the Robin for LL Cool J in NCIS: Los Angeles, and boy are his arms tired.

The Riddler (Jim Carrey)

It’s possible I’d feel entirely differently now if I saw BATMAN FOREVER for the first time, but by summer 1995, I had been loving Jim Carrey on In Living Color and I jumped to being a fan of him in movies from ACE VENTURA to (especially) THE MASK  to DUMB AND DUMBER and I was so fucking ready to see him as the Riddler in a Batman movie. I loved it. It’s a rare thing to see a performer swing that goddamn wide as Jim Carrey did in that five-year span when he suddenly became the hugest star in the world. Plenty of stars have blown up huge since then, but it’s truly hard to describe the cultural supernova of Jim Carrey in the mid-1990s and it’s even harder to imagine anyone hitting like that now. Again, I’m not sure how this performance has aged, but maybe I should take a look at the movie again. About the figure, the likeness looks a little funky, but a lot of times these things look better when you’ve got them up close. Stay tuned.

Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones)

I love Tommy Lee Jones. He’s great. He could have been a great Harvey Dent. One obvious mistake of BATMAN FOREVER is that Tommy Lee Jones never got a fair chance to play Harvey Dent. Imagine Tommy Lee Jones getting to dig into what Aaron Eckhart got to do in THE DARK KNIGHT. Tommy would’ve feasted. Instead, he either decided or was directed in BATMAN FOREVER to try to match Jim Carrey’s energy, which would be a fool’s errand for anybody, and hardly not playing to any of Tommy Lee Jones’ formidable strengths. As much as I loved BATMAN FOREVER as a kid, even then I knew they blew it with Two-Face. The figure looks incredible, though. Redemption!

THE NIGHTMARE BAT

If you collect all four figures, you can build the gigantic bat from a deleted scene from BATMAN FOREVER where Val Kilmer encounters a bat twice the size of Val Kilmer. Rick Baker is credited as working on the film. I’m looking for confirmation that he’s behind that bat, but I am willing to bet on it. I’m never gonna complain about having an action figure of a giant bat, but all things being equal, I would have preferred a Nicole Kidman Build-A-Figure. There’s this world, and there’s the world I live in. We all have choices we have to make in life.

 

That’s it for the column! But since you stuck around until the end, here’s a short list of some of the people who you may not remember were in BATMAN FOREVER:

Drew Barrymore

Ed Begley Jr.

Cindy, Dawn, Maxine, and Terry from En Vogue

IRON MAN director Jon Favreau

Olympic gymnast Mitch Gaylord

Debi Mazar

comedian George Wallace

Don “The Dragon” Wilson

 

See you later this summer!
