BumblebeeZ3

People like Glow in the Dark.
At least I do.
Medium jumping can turn something into something entirely different. Bladerunner and DADOES are both excellent works. with several differences.
The Thing was an excellent re-make/medium jump.
The Wii glove- It is ribbed for your pleasure.

V for Visionaries?
W for Wesker?

It got cut for time, but I explained that Scareglow was, in fact, one of the last MOTU figures released from the original series before it ended, giving him an involuntary short shelf life. So he’s a little more rare than most other figures. Rarity often drives up character popularity.

That and he’s a freakin’ glow in the dark skeleton!
