Cartoon Network Life-Size Statues Rescued by Mega Fans

Having done many a toy show in my lifetime, both as vendor and eager hunter, you get to hear countless stories of the biggest scores people have stumbled across. From the backs of rusted-over barns to the front window of a mom and pop drug store, or even sitting out in the sun for a Saturday garage sale wedged between unloved Beanie Babies...those hotly pursued "holy grails" of the toy world are still out there, and you never know where one will turn up next. I once popped into my local Good Will on a Saturday afternoon, aisles overflowing with resellers, and spotted a Jurassic Park green TRex, just sitting on a shelf minding its own business. I grabbed it. Then I saw a brown TRex next to it. I grabbed that one. Now confused, I looked around in disbelief, half expecting prank show cameras in the distance. All I saw was another brown TRex at my feet. With the three dinosaurs falling out of my arms, I half sprinted to the front of the store for a cart, thinking, "If there are three big JP Dinos just sitting on the shelf among all these hunters, there must be more from a collection...somewhere!!" Sure enough, the nearest carts staged for refills contained bag after bag of baby dinos, humans, and an army of raptors. 40 bucks for 400 dollars worth of Jurassic Park vintage goodness. That's just one story. The one coming out of  Tennessee is 10 times more epic.

CHARACTER REVOLT Unleashes Self-Aware Heroes

In author Hank Quense’s wildly inventive meta-fantasy Character Revolt, fictional characters have finally reached their breaking point. Furious over bad storylines, unemployment, and abandoned plot arcs, they unionize and launch a full-scale rebellion against the author who created them.

“I started wondering what my characters might be doing when I close the laptop,” Quense quipped. “And in my imagination, I saw them unionizing, burning my books, and hunting me down for better gigs.”

Across three parallel worlds from Quense’s previously published works — Camelot, Zaftan 31B, and Gundarland — Character Revolt unleashes a parade of football-obsessed knights, tentacled despots, unemployed adventurers, and scheming brigands, all united by one demand: new stories and better lives.
