It not a gimmick. 3D has been around in one form or another since the 50’s.

But it never really stuck. I don’t think I’ve talked to anyone that actually enjoys watching movies like that.

Well it comes in waves like any money making fad. It came back in the 80s, it came in 2009, now people have lost interest. I prefer 2D IMAX style experiences which don’t distract from the film and don’t have lenses that darken what you are seeing. As for the home release market I can’t see it taking off in a big way.

Are you talking about this one? I still have mine!

Yeah that kind of thing, most of it is long gone here.

You can always try and find it on Ebay, for hundreds of dollars…probably.

Ah there are plenty for sale for less than 20 bucks, if was I so inclined. Just don’t have the space for all the old merch any more.

The mid 90’s saw some strange ideas come out of Kenner.

At least the old Mini Rigs back in the 80’s looked like something that was just “off camera” in the OT. In Kenner’s defense, they did follow up with more sensible things like a Hoth Rebel soldier with a laser cannon, and the Probe Droid.

Haha so goofy. There was a Boba Fett Deluxe too I remember. At one point I’m sure there was a Han Solo that came with the Falcon turret, but they decided that it needed an action feature so the barrels of the gun itself fired out for some reason.

Did you know it took 12 years to make?

Yes. I actually think that that was one of Red Letter Media’s least funny and most cringe-worthy memes.

EDIT: Just to be clear, I love RLM, but they have a large subset of their fanbase that will parrot every single thing that they say as though it is 100% fact. It isn’t RLM’s fault, but it’s something that I can’t stand about its fanbase.

Their fan base made it cringeworthy like everything in a youtube comments section. But the whole thing was just another one of their reactions based on people saying how dare they not like something, so in a way it’s perfect.
