That's awesome, Dave! Thanks

That's awesome, Dave! Thanks for posting this review. I absolutely love the original Outer Limits show, and I, too, am perplexed as to why I don't have more (or ANY) toys from the show! Really need to fix that...

At least I have one Twilight Zone toy: the Invader figure, made semi-famous on TBDX by JB's awesome pic.

No excuse for not having any Zanti misfits, though...

Esperanto Shatner

Hey Dave.

Fantastic review! Have you had the chance to watch Incubus yet? It was a once lost horror/occult film directed by one of the Outer Limits director and starred William Shatner in his first feature film role. What is so great about it is that the dialog was completely in the constructed language of Esperanto and gives the film an creepy unworldly feel. It's like a feature length Outer Limits episode. It's is also known for the curse that befell some of the actors involved. The ending is completely demonic!

I've always loved the Outer Limits, thanks for reviewing these figures!

Yeah, I saw The Incubus

Yeah, I saw The Incubus several years ago. I don't remember too much about it, though. Funny you should mention Shatner in an Outer Limits thread, though. One of my favorite episodes ever was "Cold Hands, Warm Heart" with him in it. The alien in that, silly as it was, really scared me! In fact, it would make a great "jiggler" toy.

Incubus

Wow, that makes sense that he would also be in an episode of the Outer Limits as well....it's all coming together!

I have to find what that alien looks like.

Cheers

Dude...that alien from "Cold

Dude...that alien from "Cold Hands, Warm Heart" absolutely wigged me out! It wasn't the alien design, itself--it was how it appeared. It looked totally like an apparition. And the way it sorta undulated like something flapping in the wind...only slowly. Creepy as hell!
