HOME BREW... Looks like McKenzie Bros. Action Figures are set to be made!

Ya know folks... Sometimes there is coolness that as a Geek I never thought I would ever see. Among these dreams I felt I would never see frutation to is the upcoming YELLOW SUBMARINE line from McFarlane Toys... and now... I dare not speak it for fear of jinxing it. But I never ever dreamed I'd see or hear the following. God bless the McFarlane Toy Company. They are just too cool. Now... If only DeLuca and NEW LINE strike a deal with Todd to handle the LORD OF THE RINGS line... then my wet panties will be see-through! Oh... Wait... Ummm... I don't wear panties I mean. Umm.. Yeah... Right. Manly man... Uh huh, yup... Boxers all the way!

got this from Spawn.com -

Due out next year, The McKenzie Brothers action figures, better known as Bob and Doug McKenzie (a.k.a. Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, respectively) from SCTV, the 1983 movie Strange Brew, and their run as pitchmen for their favorite beverage - beer, will appear in their famous flannel and tuques (hats), toting beer bottles with other planned accessories. With more than 100 websites dedicated to these two Canadian beer-loving icons, the creative team of Moranis and Thomas decided it was time for a sequel. Home Brew, the long-awaited sequel from Los Angeles-based Maple Palm Productions and West End Productions, is due out in spring of 2000. Shooting begins July 19 in Toronto, featuring Moranis and Thomas reprising their McKenzie brothers roles, as well as Dan Aykroyd.

"As a Canadian male, there are three things that make sense to us, that are entrenched in our psyche: hockey, the Hanson Brothers and the McKenzie Brothers," McFarlane said. "Now, as a fan who also owns a toy company, we've designed the first action figures ever made of the Hanson Brothers and McKenzie Brothers. It's my way to introduce some of our 'Canadiana' to the rest of the world."

hope it's of some use!!
