Hutts are very cool, highly intelligent, very interesting creatures.... When they aren't very busy with forty or so slave Leias, or smoking their water pipes, they're busy in the slot cave doing what comes naturally!!

Introducing, The Resinmonger Chatroom Action Figure!!!

Resinmonger will personally autogragh the custom packaging of each non-action figure sold.

Why is it a non-action figure you may ask? Well this Hutt mostly sits at a computer at work and comes home to sit at a computer. Mostly. He never actually races, paints, or builds. He may pontificate if supplied with enough Patron tequila.

He used to prefer Jose Quervo but he realized that Patron sponsors a cool Acura LMP2 in the American Le Mans Series. Of course, the Hutt does not actually go to the races due to extreme laziness and the fact that he spends all available cash on slot toys. This is another characteristic of a non-action figure. (See what the Hutt is missing at the links below.)

http://www.americanlemans.com/home/ALMSHome.aspx

http://www.patrontequila.com/racing/

And pull strings are so last year. Why pull a string to get your adorable Hutt talking when you can squeeze his ample belly. You get cool sound bites such as where to buy silicone tires, how his friend Stubby lost his arm to 440X2 toxic tires, the livery of Denny Hulme's Lola T70 MKII at the 1965 Bank Holiday event and what car finished last in the 1953 Carrera Pan America.

As an added bonus, set your Hutt non-action figure near your computer, bring up HT's Slot Car Modeling/Customizing, show him threads such as Hillltop Raceway, This Week in Model Murdering, The Bob Zilla Show, etc. and enjoy genuine Hutt Drooling Action. (Note, manufacturer is not responsible for damage to your computer components if exposed to Hutt Drooling Action.)

As if this wasn't enough, your Resinmonger non-action figure will also make random references to 60's and 70's Rock Music.

Don't you want a big Hutt to love?
Don't you need big Hutt to love?
Wouldn't you love a big Hutt to love?
You better find a big Hutt to love?

Think this is all you get? Well think again. The Resinmonger Chat Room non-action will also randomly quote stuffy phrases form really, really old dudes. See if your vintage Talking GIJoe/Actionman figure can top that!

Get your Resinmonger Chat Room Non-action figure today!

(Batteries not included. Drool refils are due in from China any day now. They have already been shipped, may have been shipped or may be delayed by 90 or more days.)

Looks like Slot-tards Incorporated marketing team should have consulted the "Hutt Master" prior to this shameless poorly thought out sales campaign!! After all, who knows a Hutt better than a Hutt!! Clearly, the marketing team had limited knowledge of real Hutt activities (or the lack there of) and should have done their homework!! As CEO of Slot-tards Inc. I would like to personally apologize for the poor judgement of our marketing personnel, and hope that future releases of our HobbyTalk Chatroom action (and non-action) figures will be a bit more accurate... And while I don't usually drink tequila, I'm sure those Patron Tequila girls could convince me to... ummmm.. over do it...

This just in, the factory in China was actually able to find non-melamine encrusted chips for this non-action figure. As a result, your Resinmonger Chat Room non-Action Figure features a full baker's dozen of bonus sound bites:

1) Ummm Princess Leia

2) Ummm Tycos!

3) Let's go race Tycos with NTx

4) Let's watch the Resident Evil Triogy

5) Ummm Mila Jovovich is great as Alice

6) Hey! Buy some more Ferrari 250 GTO bodies from Giperjet!

7) Woman, fill my glass with more Patron!

8) Woman, let me out of the garage!

9) Woman, it's 57 degrees out here. People can't survive at this hostile temperature!

10) Ok, I'll go to see "Four Christmases" with you. Just let me out of the garage.

11) Well somebody is finding those Mini Lindy vans. What's your major malfunction?

12) Wow, don't you wish you could make cool diecast conversions like VideoJimmy?

13) I swear that was my last ebay purchase. Really.

Isn't that simply adorable? There are only 125 of the limited edition run of 100 figures left. Get yours today. Check our webcam for updates on Drool refill availability.

Do you guarantee delivery by Christmas? And will you have alternate sound chips available? I want two! One for the living room to share a bottle of Patron with (then wake up the next morning and say "What is THAT - ow,my head.") and I KNOW my wife would appreciate a "back seat driver" Hutt. "Approaching Sonic! HaaHaaHaa"

Most impressive number one. And if this marketing team had been in charge, Crosley and Gogomobile would still be making cars.

Working off AW production and distribution standards isn't easy..Let's just figure on 90 days past Christmas for a start.. But at least our action and non-action figures "bumpers" aren't crooked... I mean, of course they'll be delivered in time for Christmas...We're just not sure which Christmas you're referring to...2009 is "looking fine"..

We are constantly exploring alternate sound chips for The Hutt non action figure.. and a modified for GPS version is in the works as we speak... This will be tied into the drooling action feature, so you will have two separate warnings when approaching a Hutt's favorite eating establishments.. Note: Manufacturer not responsible for damage occuring to car stereo systems from Hutt Drooling Action...

Holy Hannah! Chat room (semi)Action figures!

Dear sirs...

I am very interested in purchasing your semi-action figures. I would like to start with the current one that you called 'Doba. I understand that it will not come with pit buildings of any sort unless I choose to cut some square holes in the shipping carton.
I need to "GET one Today!" as the likeness is simply astounding!

Further more , if it is possible, though not too likely, I would also like to purchase the first two semi-action figures in this series. I know that demand must be quite high as they are all limited editions, but would be willing to pay DOUBLE for them that I might have a complete collection.

Resinmonger will certainly be a welcome addition to my display center even though I know that he does not come with a slave Leia. I think that the Nuther Dave semi-action chat room figure, with his gorgeous detail may fill in quite nicely for the princess if squinted at "just right" !

These semi-action figures are simply stunning and a MUST HAVE for my collection!

Please respond in kind, sirs. I shall endeavor to remain posted near my mailbox (don't worry, I have a mini-frig and a chair) until I hear from you.

Sincerely,
joez :)

Will you market the Cordoba Lego Pit Buildings as an option set?
What brand of beer does the Cordoba Semi Action Figure prefer?

Ohh all these questions!!! My head is spinning!!! :freak:

We can still guarantee delivery in time for Christmas!!!! 2010..

Sadly the shop that made the "Lucky Bobs" accessories closed down... I'm pretty sure the accessories will show up on Ebay molded in non standard colors.. Hot Pink :pand Lime green:D are hot in China right now... Who knows who ended up with the molds????

Talking Doba bobble head semi action figure plans are on the drawing board right now, but I think our voice tech spilled a cup of coffee on them, so plan on an additional 90 days past the regular 90 days past the planned release date of 2/31/2009.

The Doba Lego pit building kits will be available as soon as the molds can be slipped out of the lego plant. They will be available in Hot Pink:o and Lime Green:D...

Guiness is the preferred grog.

Does the Uther-Joe Semi-Action figure come with the little packets that you put in Coors Light to give it flavor? That would be an authentic accessory!

Does this semi-action figure include a sound chip?

Just asking...

slotcarman12078
12-26-2008, 07:21 PM
Slot-Tards Inc. always has and always will strive for accuracy in our products!! Therefore, Our UtherJoe Semi-action figure does not come with the Coors Lite beer flavor packets. We did our research, and found out he adds no flavorings to his beer!!! :eek: We were amazed too!!

Also, in the interests of public safety and common courtesy sound chips will not be available with this model. If accurate sounds are desired, a standard whoopie cushion is recommended, and will provide 3/4 of the noises this model is notorious for. :freak::drunk::freak::freak::drunk:

Thanks again for your interest in our products!!!
