New ActionMen figures by Quadra Nebulana A new line of children's action figures to be introduced by Zipman Industries. According to Bob B. Swinger, spokesman, "Changing times are reflected in new action themes. 3 new figures are slated for the toy market late summer: Spam Man, Rainbow Robert and Peace-Keeper Phil." The new line of current ActionMen results from an outcry of local groups to stop violence themes in children's toys. SPAM MAN figures keep pace with today's technological industry. Spam Man's main focus is to rid the universe of spammers who clog cyberspace with spam transmissions. The action figure comes with a LAN laserdisc capable of pinpoint accuracy in deflecting attacks by spamming hardware. RAINBOW ROBERT is a reworked version of the popular Viet Nam Jungle Fighter figure. Rainbow Robert provides a softer side of the combative masculine figure. A travelling theatrical trunk will hold several interchangeable costume items: wigs, dresses, military boots, designer menswear, makeup and a thong swimsuit. Rainbow stripped flags; placards and rally slogans can be purchased separately. PEACE-KEEPER PHIL - sanctioned by the World Headquarters Alliance Makers - will include mini-versions of peace keeping items: parachutes attached to cartons stamped Food that have compartments with recipe collections that incorporate indigenous plant life, a leaflet making kit with magic markers and directions on creating new designs and messages for protest placards and a wraparound transporter cape for immediate travel. A portion of Peace-Keeper Phil's sales will be donated to WHAM. Swinger stated, "We have several more figures on the drawing board. Manny - the male version of Nanny: Changeling - an all-purpose figure that can take on many forms when placed in the energized Changeling Box: and Talk-Show Dan complete with non-stop audio recordings of well-known shows that can be downloaded."

The Rotting Bowmen - a 4-finger salute to the King review by Michael Lohr Music guaranteed to kill your houseplants. My god these boys can rock! Imagine if the Deep Anglos and Pink Purple Lurple formed a supergroup with Beff Jeck, that's the vibe 1 gets as soon as you hear this new record. All I can say is pass that clover and sage cigar, tap that keg and get the Guy Fawkes celebrations started. With megariffing songs like Tusspots on Parade, Tolkien Tripping and the controversial hit Spending An Evening With The Corpse of Benny Hill 1 cannot help but shake 1's rump to this music. It's even said that Good Prince Willey gave 2 thumbs up when he heard this sonic masterpiece and Lemmy of Motorbreath immediately sued everyone in sight for copyright infringements. We caught up with Flanders Jacktail, lead warbler for the Rotting Bowmen, who had this to say about the new record, "Piss off ya bleedin' blimey wankerites, me's woman needs attention, ifs'n you knows whatta means." He seemed real excited that the new record had finally hit stores. He was so excited in fact that he threw up all over the hood and windshield of my Sterling stationwagon. Trust me folks, this record is a dozy, kind of like that worm shot of tequila on an early Saturday morning. It kicks you in the arse and gets you going.
