$250 for a Team Fortress 2 Heavy Weapons Guy?

The Single Thirty-Something is a lot easier to get to than the Credit-Crunched Family at the moment. Or the Tweenlighters. Even the Granny Brigade has been hit with the Miserybacks and Crimepr0n.
And what's the production run on those Heavy Weapons Guys? For PR toys it numbers in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions. For a 250$ statue you're gonna be lucky if there's more than two or three thousands. The statue market is extremely small compared to the kids' toys market. The credit-crunched family's having hard times indeed, according to Bandai's financial report, but it has only affected the US market and their so far financially successful response has been to aim for an even younger target than usual.

While this is true, it's also self-fulfilling.
How much would you pay to see Thundercats done right?
Let's say Pixar combined with Jim Henson on the costumes/CGI.
John Williams leading the orchestra that includes The Who.
Tarantino dialogue combined with John Woo fightscenes,
Brian Blessed plays Mumm-ra against Jackie Earl Haley as Lion-o.
(And no Snarf, but that comes as standard - And someone who can ACT as well as look good as Cheetara - Tara Strong perhaps?)

How much would you pay to see that film? $10? $50? $200?

I figured this would be the place to post it, but Namco-Bandai has signed a deal to do all future Power Rangers games. What does this mean? Ranger Calibur? Tales of Power Rangers? Possible Dynasty Warriors: Power Rangers?! (They did Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, after all!)

I am dying too see the new season. Hopefully they are adapting Shinkenger. I am also excited that Nicktoons network will be showing all 700+ episodes of power rangers every weekday! Finally people might respect the series more!

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but did anyone else misread the title as "Satan Re-acquires Rights to Power Rangers, Plans Revival"? Anyone? Anyone at all?
