I entered that contest.
I wish I could remember what my design was, but it had to be better than a dude with a camera for a head. I remember thinking at the time 'what the fuck?' when a winning figure never appeared on store shelves.
I am being totally serious when I admit that to this day, once every so often this whole thing pops into my head, I always wondered what was up with that as it was exciting to me as a wee one and I honestly thought I was a lock to win it. I never even heard about a winner being chosen.
Now I see the little punk was from fucking Naperville, my arch nemesis of a city...let's just say it angers me up quite a bit.
He got 100 grand as well, and got to be president of Mattel for a day. I can only imagine the havoc I could reek as head of a multi million dollar company for a few minutes let alone an entire day.
I'm thinking my first order of business would be to sell the company to myself for one dollar and fire everyone around me.
Then maybe get into the arms business, I bet those machines could be fitted to make REAL guns in no time.
This man e faces or whatever, he looks like an updated version of cyclops who was plenty cool. One regular eye, one blue eye and one ANGRY RED EYE.
Oh yeah, Moss Man was the shit...he smelled like weed, that was his power
