Hardly...
Just a simple observation... you love dishing it out, defending why you think it's your "duty" and yet, don't accept it when directed your way. Inadequecy issues?

I'd love to know how i've not accepted it - am i supposed to go "oh, you're right, how incorrect of me."
Umm, no.
How about taking some criticsm yourself and note that you're not discussing the topic but the poster and you seemingly have nothing of actual value to input?

Is there a real value to the posts you've made in the thread? At what point does continual bashing actually create value?
But, to the point... The AA looks great. The dialog seems appropriate for the "hawker" role it plays in it's placement.
Question... corny jokes at JC are accepted and revered. Why do you feel the need to despise them here?

Corny can be funny, these are just lame.

Yay! More Controversy!
Maybe this should be brought to the Bar Brawl Thread in Chit-Chat.

Mr. Potato Head is actually in the queue in the DCA version. It's hard to see in the videos on YouTube, but the queue actually loops around right in front of Mr. Potato Head. The entrance is off to the right of the video frame, and the queue will then file past the animatronic. But he's also set up pretty high, so you will also see and hear him if you are walking by on the midway. The fact that the queue is empty in these videos also hides the fact that the queue literally wraps right around this figure.
It should be interesting to see where they place Mr. Potato Head in the WDW version. Aren't there any pictures available yet of the WDW version building and setup? The DCA version doesn't open until June, so why are the first videos and sightings of the station, vehicles and pre-show coming out of DCA? Odd.
As for the animatronic, I thought it was very clever! I really like it when he signs the little songs like the "Midway Mania" theme song he's got. That's fun! :sohappy:

The WDW version is indoors and all of the queue appears to be indoors (atleast the formal queue, extended queue might be outside).
We've seen the groundplan for the WDW version, the queue zig-zags indoors a bit and then the spud is on the wall that seperates the queue from loading-area proper.
As for seeing it, DHS has refurb walls from the Backlot to One Man's Dream and they installed large trees - you cant even see the entrance of the building.

Broadway critics wait until a show officially opens to write a review, even if it's "open" for previews for two, three, four weeks.....

Ah, okay. That would explain why there's no online pics/vids/chatter about it yet. The WDW version opens later this month though, doesn't it? Disneyland's version is still months away from opening.
Back to the figure, I just noticed how unique and impressive the mouth is on Mr. Potato Head. The lower lip is capable of all sorts of movement and alignments and gestures, and then the open "mouth" is black throughout any mouth movement. How do they do that? Watch the mouth and lips in this 30 second YouTube video for a good example of the visual trickery I'm talking about.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETQTKMyqw7s

My guess is that it's some sort of black stretchable material. Look at the photo in this video:

It's probably something that's static at the top, and then attached to the lips, which stretch it out and around as they move.

Sadly, he's been hidden behind the wall again. I made a quick trip over to the Park a couple of hours ago just to check him out and found nothing but walls. Sigh. If anyone happens to see Mr. Potato Head out again, please post it here. I want to get video of the guy in action!

I think it's hidden under his mustache.

Wow...some of us here should re-evaluate the necessity to defend themselves on an online forum...folks, lets keep in mind some people seek attention through controversy. Stop feeding a fire, and the fire goes out.
As for the AA...so awesome. LOVE that he can take his ear off. I'm intrigued to see how he turns out in the long run. I bet with a little practice he'll be a great addition and fun entertainment while waiting in line to ride. And his mouth: very impressive. He actually looks like he articulates different words. Very cool.

Buzz looks kinda freaky without the face projection. It's just a dark area where the face would be.
And yes, Mr. Potato Head can put his ear back in his head.
