Actually it's a buck and a quarter quarterstaff .. but I'm not telling him ..

Oh privy .. traveling jester .. would you like to see FunKo make more cool Looney Toons .. ??

"Ho! Haha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha - THRUST!" *boiing*


Yoiks and away ... *splat*

We are treated to getting a sneak peak at some vinyl sets scheduled to be coming in Feb `09. Just in time for Toy Fair.

Just in the conception stages .. but looking awesome are Daffy Duck and Porky Pig in the famous rendition of Robin Hood.


Daffy's Song
Oh, join up with me, so joyous and free
And away to old Sherwood [hie],
For I'm Robin Hood, and I'm very good
At avoiding the Sheriff's eye.
So we'll trip along merrily,
O'er the greensward so gracefully,
To trip it, trip it, trip it, trip it,
Trip it up and down,
To trip it, trip it, trip it, trip it,
So trip it up and down.



Then .. of course .. not to be believed .. from like the Top 5 of All-Time Looney Toons cartoons ..







the GREMLIN

Only seen in one cartoon .. he was the imp that battled Bugs Bunny a mile high ..

Falling Hare is a 1943 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Robert Clampett, starring Bugs Bunny. The title is another play on "hair", as "falling hair" refers to impending baldness, while in this cartoon's climax, the title turns out to be descriptive of Bugs' situation.

Within the cartoon are several contemporary pop culture references, including to Wendell Willkie, John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men and the folk songs "Yankee Doodle," "I've Been Working on the Railroad," and the Russian folk song "Dark Eyes." Bugs' Gremlin nemesis also makes a reappearance in the 1990 cartoon Tiny Toons episode Journey to the Center of Acme Acres with two look alikes as the secondary antagonists of the episode. The Gremlin holds the distinction, along with Cecil Turtle, of being one of the very few antagonists to actually and completely outsmart and rattle Bugs.

INCREDIBLE .. ain't it !!!
