Old News Flash: “Fans of the sci-fi show Lexx are holding demonstrations across the continent in protest over the exhibition of ‘anatomically correct’ Kai Dolls. ‘When will the lies end?’ said one protester.” 😉
Innapropriate, I guess, but the dolls sound more tasteful than the Feppo and Smoor Blow-up “action” dolls.
If the “anatomically correct,” as some have decribed them, dolls were supposed to be of the Divine Assassin Kai character and not the MMM Twack actor, then they got it wrong. Kai has mechanical rods. I guess that like with this post, artistic licence ([i]to thrill[/i]) can go too far…
I think this old leaked email message to [i]Salty Street[/i] about the official Kai* action figure may shed some light on Twacky displeasure over fan-made dolls…

SUBJECT: Official Anatomically and Mechanically Correct Kai* Doll
The new anatomically/ mechanically correct doll is very interesting, and by interesting I mean really, really badly done. While the head, neck, arms, hands, legs, feet, shoulders, buttocks, torso and hair are of the proper proportions, the rest does not measure up at all! The brace is limp and [i]why the frig didn’t you give it bigger rods[/i]?

Assuming the proportions were inaccurate (got a ruler?), if da Twackster was that upset about the size of his mechanical rods, how would he react to anatomical ones on dolls?
Anyway… Thankfully, in the later models the doll’s “deficiency” was corrected according to da Twacky specifications…
