JUST ONE MORE TOY...


Thought I'd save the best for last...

And I don't think there's anything that proves that evil adults rule this planet more than the fact that this toy never made itto stores.

WHAT IS AND WHAT SHOULD NEVER NOT HAVE BEEN

TOYS IN THE ATTIC

As promised in my last post, here are some more pics from the KidDesign showroom of Codename: Kids Next Door toys that never made it to the shelves:

First, here's Season 9 of the KND MICROS
(Miniature Insanely Cool Realistic Operative Spies)


Who do we see there?
Mr. Huggykins?
Sooper Sleuth Rainbow Monkey?
A couple of the babified KND from Operation: GROW-UP?
And yes--
Some of the sets were going to feature individual Delightful Children From Down the Lane that you could snap together once you collected them all.

On the bigger side of things there were the KND in snow gear:


And swim gear:


Oh, and these:


Yeah... that's Numbuh Two in cat fighting gear.
But WHO CARES?!

That's FATHER behind him with OPTIONAL EVIL, ANGRY HEAD!
Why in the name of all that is awesome was that not made?!

I'm sure I have even more pics of even more toys that never escaped the showroom...
But that's all I got for now.
Hope ya liked!

UPDATE: After seeing this post, one of my sooper pals over at KidDesigns sent over some even BETTERER pics! Keep it locked here to see 'em soon!

THE ISLAND OF MISFIT TOYS

So yeah...

There were some pretty cool Codename: Kids Next Door
action figures out there for a while.

We had BIG action figures:


And we had little ones:


The company that made them, KidDesigns, was pretty awesome.
They had never done action figures before but attacked it like my two boys attack In-n-Out Burger.

Seriously, if KND was a pool, these guys dove in cannonball-style and got the tri-state area soaking wet.
And together, we came up with some pretty awesome toys.
Some saw the light of day... some didn't.

Here are some that didn't.
Mind you, these are proto-types that were only seen in the showroom.
But I ask you...

Do they not rock?


I know, right?
The fact that Grandma Stuffum (along with Liver and Onions)
never got made kills me, too.


OMG... Candy Hunting Numbuh Five? Stickybeard? The Queen Louse? Food Rambo Numbuh Two AND the ultra Nerd Zombie from Operation: UNCOOL? That's too much awesome in one photo.


I don't think a day goes by where I don't burst into tears over the fact that the Delightful Children From Down The Lane never had their own toy.


Stickybeard.

'Nuff said.


The world would have been a better place if this Knightbrace figure had been made.

Wait...

What's that?

You want MORE?!

Well...

Okay.

But you gotta wait until the next post.

Mwa ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaa!

DARK SIDE OF THE FISH


This Friday, February 4th (like, tomorrow) debuts
an episode I wrote for Fish Hooks!

Kind of...

See, before I was a full-time Fish I pitched a bunch of
story premises to the gang.
Most of them died horrible, poxish deaths...
but one crawled it's way out of the mire and SURVIVED:

THE DARK SIDE OF THE FISH.

Well...

Kind of.

See, stories go through a LOT of changes around here.
So there's not much left of what I actually wrote in this ep.
But the premise is still there!

So if you like the episode-- THANKS!
(but most of your thanks should go to the writers, directors and storyboard artist Blake Lemons)
(Yeah... THAT Blake Lemons.)
(Uh huh... My evil assistant on KND.)

And if you're a hater-- I didn't write that part.
(Blake did.)
(Hee hee!)

Check it out on the Disney Channel this weekend:
Fri 2/4 8:30-9:00pm
Sat 2/5 12:00-12:30am
Sat 2/5 10:30-11:00am

Hope you like!

(Oh, and that IS the voice of Maxwell Atoms as Razor!)

THE HOT TOPIC IS WAS KIDS NEXT DOOR!


Just a bit before the holidays, sooper stealthy operative Brianna14 sent word to KND Headquarters that there were some pretty awesome KND t-shirts being sold at Hot Topic.

I'm approximately 2045% sure that everyone you know would loved one of these as a holiday gift but:

A: I didn't get around to posting it until now.

And

B: It appears they're sold out since
this link no longer works.


Sorry about that...
Hopefully some of you operatives out there grabbed one while they were hot
(like a topic!)
