I'm thinking I have to get in on this deal if it happens. Pee Wee was the man in the 80's

I wonder what the DX exclusive could be? Hmm? Could that be him, at the door?

Indeed I was. Born in '81. Meanwhile I never knew he had such a cult following.

Not only does he have a cult following, but his show and movie can withstand the sands of time. I put the movie on for my wife and now my son (almost 3) can't shut up about me putting on Kee Wee. He says Kee Wee and I am working hard to get him to say Pee Wee.

I put episide 1 and was surpise to see Laurence Fishburne was the cowboy.

Best part IMO, Sooo Hilarious!

This sounds like when he told me he's definitely making Daniel Plainview. Good luck.

This is a fantastic idea for a figure. It reminded me of how much I loved the films and show as a child.

I am surprised no one has done one already or pushed for this in the past. Hopefully with 1:6 bicycles vaguely of the same style/era available, the bike can be done at a reasonable cost.

Damn! You mean I missed it already?

Yeah there is something so magical about this movie man. Once its on you cant stop watching. This figure being made is like that Wonka magic happening all over again. Pushing hard for the X-1! Dont worry!

Reubens was just a funny ___ing guy, and Pee-Wee is a great character. The movie is damn good, but I personally really think the TV show (and live special) were funnier as a whole, because of the universe and characters that he created and interacted with there, as well as the fact that he was able to really refine his humor and establish running gags and themes that became hilarious over time, like that damn Salesman. Pee-Wee's Playhouse was different than, say, the Muppet Show, because it was squarely targeted at kids, but it was definitely absurd and insane enough that I can still watch and enjoy it. And it (and the film) was based off his stage show, which was not at all kid-friendly, and bits of that come through in the humor and characters like Captain Carl, who was always a bit unhinged.

Kids' shows today are far too condescending IMO.

I never was a fan of his "kids" show but I really liked his stage show. It was really twisted and strange. Its what I like about the first movie. It was very theatrical.

Chief you just said a mouthful

Well, I'm also biased because of the nostalgia factor.

My first Pee Wee experience was the HBO stage show in the early 80's. Love it. Watched the new one from broadway. While I dug it, it didnt live up to my standards of the original. It was trying to be that instead of offering up something completely new. Might not have been their goal but I was hoping for it!

And I can totally get that! Its what makes this character so damn likeable! And the kids show was great but it has nothing on the movie for me. To each his own. This figure satisfies either way!

Word. Nice thing about it is--Pee Wee looked exactly the same in all of those, so the Rainman figure works for all of our purposes

See, that's my problem. THIS is the one I want!

Not the Cheech and Chong version?
