(...) Hey Jason, I had no idea what an owlbear was so I did a quick search and found this picture. (URL) think your owlbear is awesome. I love the colors and the backwards bent legs. Todd (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.castle)

Though some are a bit blurry [:(], I just put some "behind the scenes" pics up of one of the sets featured in my upcoming movie, Vecna's Lens. D&D fans may recognize the creature, called an owlbear. This one is rather largish, but fully poseable. (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.castle)

Just make sure you refer to them as "legos" in the film. Since we've seen letters indicating that "legos" are _not_ the correct term for "LEGO brand building bricks", obviously no one would think they _were_ "LEGO brand building bricks". -gyug In (...)
