@ZakuFan0079 If you want to put the full audio of the Q&A portion up, that would be great for archival purposes! And thanks for letting me clear the situation up!

[Matt Karpowich @Monzo12782]

Alright. With the original audio, I can give context.
What MacCrae is indirectly referring to here is a doc I make to track character updates & give to Hasbro. I used to track their trademarks as well.
Nobody's ever asked me to plan a toyline.
(And Big Red IS on the list...)

@Monzo12782 Rough edit in the middle of the night. I've cut out the question due to Twitter time limit because the guy asking kinda rambled.

[Matt Karpowich @Monzo12782]

@ZakuFan0079 Would you be willing to release the audio of the question and Hasbro's response? There are video recordings of the panel up, but they do not include any of the Q&A portion.

@damnyouwillis If I was a puppetmaster worth any salt, I'd have gotten us a Xaaron by now.

@bellethetired @Alesiopdv I made the new scans from the original issues. Here's one before cleaning (brightened, reduced blue tint, removed spots & a stray cat-hair).
It was a British comic story, and they used better paper than the US. But a fresh scan can make even an old American comic look decent.

[Matt Karpowich @Monzo12782]

setting aside the ethical issues of scanning comics for the purposes of internet piracy, why would you make pirate comic scans and be *so bad at it*
(L: old scans, R: new scans)

[Matt Karpowich @Monzo12782]

@WillSloanEsq Has the vibe of the 80s My Little Pony or Nelvana-era Care Bears. Unfortunately my best guess for MLP was wrong (attached), and no luck in the Care Bear eps I skimmed. Feels like a TV toon, tho.
Would you be able to get the photo scanned at 600dpi for a bigger/clearer look?

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

[Matt Karpowich @Monzo12782]

I think it had a bit where he imagined himself putting on weight from eating too much sugar, so many it was a health/exercise promo versus teeth specifically.
Anyway, I have no idea how to look up something like this, but you are The Weird Superhero Guy, so came to mind...

[Matt Karpowich @Monzo12782]

@calamityjon Hey Jon. I have an off-brand superhero memory maybe up your alley. In 1st grade, class watched a narrated film strip, wanna say about the importance of oral hygiene. It had a knockoff Captain Marvel/SHAZAM who remembered his grandma? telling him about tooth-care.

@aic_podcast Please make a tweet linking to your latest podcast interview so I can RT it.

Saw this, thought of @benito_cereno. https://t.co/3AAOb77Vok

[Matt Karpowich @Monzo12782]

Hey @CartoonKayfabe, here's a weird one. Kirby redrawing a Kirby story, with largely the same Lee script in both. Don't imagine you wanna rush to cover Rawhide Kid, but it looks like both stories are reprinted in Kid's first Marvel Masterworks collection. https://t.co/7D6ZF39H37

[Matt Karpowich @Monzo12782]

@jimruggart Hey Jim - randomly ran into the existence of this Captain Lou Albano/Honeymooners (?!) crossover and thought you'd want to know about it for the Box o' Wrestle Comics (if you didn't know already).

[Matt Karpowich @Monzo12782]

@DerrickJWyatt @GarryChalkTalk can't unsee

@TOYROBOYUKI-さん、こんにちは。お邪魔して申し訳ありません。このデザインをご存知ですか？ＢＷＮＥＯのセッテイ資料で販売されていました。読んでいただいてありがとうございます。(機械で翻訳しました)

[Matt Karpowich @Monzo12782]

Hasbro 12" General M. Bison, Ryu Hoshi: whatever, good enough for action figures from 1994
Hasbro 12" COLONEL GUILE:

このニュースが遅くなって申し訳ありませんが、歴史的な目的でこの事実を知っておいた方がいいと思いました。

[Matt Karpowich @Monzo12782]

@snakas モンストラクターやダイノキングについては、もう一つヒントがあります。ハズコン2017では、「スナール」が追加の武器を持って展示されました。この武器は当日終了前に撤去された。"このアイテムは展示される予定ではなかった」という暗示がかかっていました。

[Matt Karpowich @Monzo12782]

当時の感覚では、その武器はドリュウのものではないかと思っていました。もしかしたら、モンストラクターやダイノキング用のパーツは作られたが、使われることはなかったのかもしれない。
