The Inner Geek Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 We get a lot of fan suggestions that idea X is the wave of the future or plan B is the right way to do the thing, but in 99% of all cases where a fan presents us with an idea, we had either already talked about it and discarded it, or already internally have a team working to make it reality. Does this mean I shouldn't bother with my idea to package free sushi with each mini? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3r_n3rd Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Does this mean I shouldn't bother with my idea to package free sushi with each mini? No, it just means that the sushi needs to be packed with underwater creatures figures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuldGrump Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I am now picturing somebody opening their Reaper order, and getting a face full of annoyed octopus.... (Okay, who ordered the Bones Cthulhu? Your sushi wants to have a word with you.) The Auld Grump - I actually like octopuses, and won't eat calamari for that reason. (Rest well Mrs. Grundy, wherever you may be.) *EDIT* Mrs. Grundy was an octopus that belonged to my fifth grade science teacher.

As well people should like octopi - they use tools and actually play games with each other!! Seriously cool creatures imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a gruesome experience for everyone involved. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aard_Rinn Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Is *that* what that was? I was so startled when I opened my box that I flung the whole thing away from me and into the wall. The paints bounced off. The sock *stuck.* It set off my sprinklers! By the time the fire marshal declared the building safe for reentry, I had to go buy a pint of housepaint and spackle to repair the hole it had burned in my wall! WORST. GIVEAWAY. EVER. Nah, I love me some Reaperpeeps. <3 you, Bugsy! *eyes paint, cocks shotgun* Edited February 19, 2014 by Aard_Rinn 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuldGrump Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 technicaly speaking, Calamari is squid not octopus Granted, but it was either that or... baby octopus. *Shudder* (Mind you, Dancing Squid is worse.

Much... worse. ) The Auld Grump Aww. My nephew wants to be a marine biologist. He won't touch seafood. After hearing about Mrs. Grundy I'm kind of inclining that way myself. ... After ReaperBryan's clear discussion of things I find myself thinking back on my comments, wondering if I've made imperious demands of the Reaper peeps. I hope not. They really do know their business, and I don't. But it's very interesting to get a little glimpse of how things work.

TheAuldGrump Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Mrs. Grundy was a small octopus - maybe six inches across, with her(?) tentacles spread. She was also friendly - and learned to 'shake' hands (well, an extended finger, anyway) and to flop through a hoop. (Not jump, sort of pulling herself up, then flopping her body through.) Shaking hands with an octopus feels exactly like you would think that it does - sort of like boneless chicken, with the skin still on, and little tiny suction cups. (She could really hang on, if she wanted to - the suckers are small, but there are a lot of them.) She was a sweetheart. The only reason that I call Mrs. Grundy 'she' or 'her' is because of the name - I have no idea what gender she really was. She was called that because she kind of looked like the hairdo on the character in the Archie comics. I gather that giant octopuses in the wild can also be surprisingly friendly and curious - though there was this incident: An incident that I can no longer find footage for was of divers playing frisbee with an octopus - the octopus was the frisbee. As for how the octopus felt about the experience - it kept coming back to be sent spinning off again. It was having fun. Umm... I seem to have gone pretty far off topic here.... Unless Reaper is owned by an octopus, at least. The Auld Grump Edited February 20, 2014 by TheAuldGrump 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
