The machines look like they came from the show. Not so much the characters.

The toys started out as a building kit where you could build moving machines that resembled robots or whatever you could come up and work the remote control with. Sunbow made the cartoon based on it and it showed how much they really liked…the Transformers. While the backstory was unique they still turned a construction set into a war between two factions of living robots but it didn’t work quite as well for Milton Bradley as it did for Hasbro.
A company called Learning Curve brought them back to the days of construction sets but I only saw them in science stores and I can’t even find them there now. But they’re memory lives on in tonight’s Fight.
Even the Orkin Man had his share of knockoffs.

Sorry that image is blurry, but that’s what came up in Zemanta’s list.
Blip.TV was a place YouTube’s reviewing community went to for hosting once YouTube starting releasing the copyright bots and no avenue to protect oneself. The YouTube bots look for any potential issues but there is no grounds to speak in your defense. Noah “The Spoony One” Antwiler recent got a ton of flags for his theme song, even though he has permission from the band who made the song.
My review of the Challenger Of The GoBots miniseries can’t be monetized because it caught that I used footage from the DVD…about half-way through the review…while the Cricket On The Hearth review is banned in Germany because of the use of Angela Landsbury singing “We Need A Little Christmas” in the decorating montage. This tells you how weird their set-up is. and I don’t think I’m going to put up any more reviews, including the first two, because i”m worried about getting flagged and losing the account. I have too many videos in various “favorites” playlists that I don’t want to lose and I’m starting to build a presence with the panels and interviews.
Blip was also a good place because it was easier to monetize your videos. With YouTube you have to stay in good standing just to post a video longer than 15 minutes, resulting from all the idiots who post TV shows and movies illegally. I’ve never challenged YouTube’s reasons, just its methods. Recently, however, Blip has been doing something odd itself, which in part I also understand, But like YouTube, they have been doing something wrong, which is why I’m pushing my review of The Tomorrow People‘s new pilot to Monday. This is interesting.

We have to get her right, we have to. She is such an icon for both genders and all ages and for people who love the original TV show and people who read the comics now. I think one of the biggest challenges at the company is getting that right on any size screen. The reasons why are probably pretty subjective: She doesn’t have the single, clear, compelling story that everyone knows and recognizes. There are lots of facets to Wonder Woman, and I think the key is, how do you get the right facet for that right medium? What you do in TV has to be different than what you do in features. She has been, since I started, one of the top three priorities for DC and for Warner Bros. We are still trying right now, but she’s tricky.
-DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson
Lately Wonder Woman is considered one of the “Trinity” along with Batman and Superman. While Green Lantern finally had a movie, he hasn’t broken into the “favored”. Wonder Woman is supposedly one of the favored. Let’s look at the stats.
Batman
Superman
Wonder Woman
And I’m not counting direct to video movies (where Wonder Woman has one) or team-up shows like Super Friends, Justice League, or the stuff that Wonder Woman wasn’t part of. Additionally, she guest-starred on one episode of Ruby-Spears’ underrated Superman cartoon and that’s pretty much been it. Think that’s all the proof that Diane Nelson needs a new argument? Not even.
