(a) I cant believe they actually sell this
(b) How on earth did you stumble upon this Annie?
(c) The comments are hilarious! (if you've not read, do so now!)

Whilst the haunted house one is the funniest, I found the "if you only buy one print of Paul Ross this year make it this one" unintentionally hilarious! "Phew, well thats the worry of which Paul Ross print to buy cleared up for this year, now I can get my life back on track".

a) I assumed P Ross had commissioned them but was unable to pay, so they were forced to sell the prints off on ebay.
b) One of the "reviewers" is a friend of mine. It was posted on another forum I visit.
c) Absolute class - as are the reviews on this one http://www.amazon.com/Playmobil-3172-Se ... 242&sr=1-1


and another of my faves; a review of Mortal Kombat - The Novel (I know, I know, it really does exist):
"Based upon the popular film Mortal Kombat, 'Mortal Kombat: A Novel' is beginning to be recognised as a classic.

Generally the book is very faithful to the film, and what it lacks in the movie's luscious visual textures it makes up for with Martin Delrio's lyricism. In one episode of the book, Sub Zero is looking at Scorpion whose leg he has just frozen "in a legwarmer of diamond butterflies", while Scorpion "evacuates from the pigpen dungeon of his dirty guts a powerful authoritarian bellow." Another scene Johnny Cage uppercuts Reptile and the action momentarily suspends in this delicate lull; a wind "enchanted with a fine herbed pungency from whisking through a sage patch" passes by Johnny Cage, and Reptile is "reeking and barfing green poisonous syrup." Such potency.

This book is timeless... immortal kombat"


More from that reviewer here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-rev ... XIGJY2YH6/ - yes, an internet user with even more spare time on their hands than me...
