My Childhood Obsession with Todd McFarlane and his obsession with Lost

This is too weird. To say that i was a fan of Todd McFarlane (since fifth grade), is an understatement.



Since he started with the Amazing Spider Man and the Incredible Hulk, i've been hooked. In fact, it could be argued that Todd got me obsessed with drawing. He was definitely a big influence.

So anyway, here we are like 18 years later and i'm obsessed with Lost... What do i come to find out today? Todd McFarlane is making Lost figures!!!



Crap. i guess i'll have to fight off the urge to collect them now. i tried, unsuccessfully, to fight off the urge when the first series of Spawn figures came out. Eventually i gave up, but still retain a rare figure of Angela with ribbons on her spear and the coveted 50th issue figure sent only to comic stores who ordered sufficient quantities of the 50th issue.

Anyway, it's trippy how similarly weird people seem to gravitate towards Lost obsession. That'sall... just my thought for the day.

just watched that "leaked video", and thought it's quite good, i think it is a fake. if you watch again, you may notice quite a few errors, such as the zoology station (meant to be station 4) being typed accidentally as station 5 at the first part. also, on the small subtitles, it has a few typos.

Well that is always a disturbing possibility. However, the typos may be there to make it look authentic. There ARE double typed words and the like that i noticed too. However, if you were faking a video THAT good, why not proof read it?

All i'm saying is that they would have to have some good graphic designers AND decent film students as well as good actors AND on site access to Hawaii looking settings... All of that seems unlikely even for a well planned out hoax.

...With that said, i *could* be... In which case i'd be crazy pissed haha.
