Interesting colors, too. I like the flecked (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

They're like clones of Megabloks, only they're "Kubricks". I saw these inside the back cover of January's Previews (comics order book). The characters are quite clever; keep an eye out for them. (23 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
