That's a great reply, but you forgot to tell us what you're going to do with
Yoda, Spider Man, the Green Goblin and the Sandmen..... ;)
Also, I think the Indian heads make the best Elves with the large eyes and

figures could be the more civilized breed. Do you have any Elf pictures up
on your site?
