South Park series 2 review, other news

[Michael Crawford]

I never thought I'd see these at a local store, by my Hot Topic finally got a case in. Tonight's review covers all six main figures, with a few extra photos of some of the key variants. With a grand total of 19 different possible figures to buy in this wave, the completists will go insane.

Cartman turns out the best again in this series, but without those nifty articulated eyebrows, he can't quite be as good as the first time around. The only real disappointment is Stan, who is off enough to be annoying, but not enough to pass him up.

You can find all the reviews at the usual:

Also, two quick items of note. First, I have an article on the history of action figure collecting up this week over at Sideshow, in the Ministry of Information. I have a direct link off my main page.

And Movie Poop Shoot is officially dead, as the birth of the new site occurs - Quick Stop Entertainment. My column has moved over, and I have a brief introduction up for folks that are new to the site.

Thanks for reading!

So why'd the Poop go away?

[Michael Crawford]

I'm not quite sure of the whole scoop. I know my buddies Chris Ryall and Scott Tipton both left, but I'm not quite sure why. I know they are both extremely busy with other stuff - Ryall is actually up for an Eisner award this year - but I think something else was up as well. Anyway, once they left, Kevin decided to rename it and 'take it in a new direction'. I'm still not sure how Quick Stop is different than Poop Shoot, but we'll see. Maybe with the new name, Kevin will actually promote it more.
