Starbugger me!
Yes, folks; I'm alive. Don't you think it's incredible? I am a-*explodes* Anyways, good old Thomas Evans of this parish has contacted us to tell us that the Product Enterprise page for the Starbug Playset has been updated. Hurrah! As well as the swanky new background image, there's some new pics of the interior. Well, I think they're new - I certainly don't recognise them, and I don't recall there being a launch scouter pic before. LAUNCH SCOUTER. Also, the box is looking a little more detailed than it was here.
But that's the thin end of the wedge, sir. The most exciting update is the crew figures, which we've not seen so close-up before. They're all in Series V costume, despite the pop-up Holly being Norman circa Series II. Nevertheless, the figures are looking gorgeous. Lister's face looks a bit off, but Kryten's is spot on. I certainly can't wait for October - it's been a long time since I ran around a room with a toy spaceship making whooshey noises. No, wait a minute - Friday.

Just because I'm not a kid any more doesn't mean I'm not gonna buy it! I'm buying two, one to preserve in the box, and the other to open and play with :-D

This page has been like that for a couple of months now. I mentioned it in comments to a news article a while ago. So there.
In fact, here it is : https://www.ganymede-titan.info/news/2004/april/radio_poo.html. I even emailed you about it, apparently. Bastards.

I want one now! I wonder what dialogue they'll include. It'd be funny if all they could be arsed to dig up was Series VIII stuff. Now what we need is a Dwarf ship correct scale to the Bug...

Wow, you're right. The Kryten figure really IS spot on. Rimmer's face bothers me more than Lister's though...

Cat has a receding hairline too.
