I don't care about "toy accuracy". The Hork-Bajir was friggin' awesome and that's all I care about. (Granted, the fact that it turns into Visser Three makes the color choice more baffling, but whatever.) Mine broke when I was thirteen. I got a French one off eBay mint-in-the-box a few months back. It was $80 and worth every penny. I’m not a toy person. I don’t care about “toy accuracy”. The Hork-Bajir was friggin’ awesome and that’s all I care about.

Like those brown anoles. I have to say other than the colors, they do look pretty awesome, and pretty close to what I pictured. But I could be picturing it wrong. …were the Hork-Bajir in the book supposed to be that bizarre, wasp-themed yellow and black? o.O

Heh. Ax. "You do not know me, but I am a juvenile delinquent. I do not trust authority figures, I probably will not graduate from high school, and statistics say my present rowdiness and vandalism will likely lead to more serious crimes. I am a dangerous fellow, and I am causing mayhem in this store." He reached behind her and pulled three jars of baby food from the top shelf. Shoved them behind a box of macaroni. Shuffled the Cheez Whiz in front of the Marshmallow Fluff. Tossed a bag of lady's shavers onto a bag of hamburger buns. "There. I have now shamelessly destroyed the symmetry of this shelf, undoing hours of labor by underpaid store employees. If you could see me, you would be frightened." He was an Andalite.

I still have all my copies of the books, except #2, which I can't find anywhere. I always want to go back and archive binge them and then I remember that I can't because I'm missing #2. Thank god for the reprint this summer. I had the toys, too. I didn't love them, but they were pretty cool. Except for the Hork-Bajir; that thing was awesome. Freaking Animorphs, man.
