I’d _like_ to be the Zinedine Zidan Lego figure. A straw poll conducted over the last minute has revealed, however, that apparently I’m a cross between a Rubik’s snake and a Tonka truck. Hrm. ---

Neither the tape that came with it that could transform into a vulture nor the attachable gun could make that cool. Nay, the anger instilled by that experience will burn within me forever, manifested by [the cymbal-wielding demon monkey](http://www.disturbingauctions.com/view.pl?item=55)… ---

Chaulk up another for the Transformers. I’d say that I would want to be Fortress Maximus, because his toy was THREE FRIGGIN" FEET TALL! When you’re a litte kid, that’s practically your size. ---

If I were a toy, I would be a chocolate brown lamb. I have one that is sooo cuddly and adorable. ---

(Actually, I liked Jetfire - the only thing that bugged me about him was in the cartoon show, his robot form was the same size as the other Autobots’… and when he transformed into a jet, he was big enough to carry the USS Forrestal.

My 5 yr. old grandson has a WWF type doll that talks. One of the things he (the doll) say’s, if you twist his head, is “Ow, you’re breaking my neck”. 🙂 It’s pretty funny. I surely don’t to _be_ one, but try as I might, I couldn’t find one to buy. No, they don’t watch WWF. I don’t know where he got it. Peace, mangeorge ---
