Animated Promo weekend with Designer Eric Siebenaler

Can't believe I forgot about the thing he told us about the Oil Slick toy. I wrote it down, and noted it for the report above, but deleted the note before I got to typing it up. Aaaanyway... it's in the report above, and for those who have already read it and don't want to have to find the added bit, here's what I wrote of what he told us:

- On the topic of Oil Slick, he said that it was originally intended to have slime in the second barrel (the one with the lid, not the chain weapon), and slime in the bucket over his head. When that didn't work (potential for leaking during transport from China was the issue), they looked at having water in the bucket over his head, but found out that it is 'not a good idea to have anything from China with water in it', in case it gets consumed by a child (seems that the water from China isn't the healthiest in the world). In the end, the toy was left without anything, but like Animated Swoop's weapon or Universe Galvatron, the original features are still there.

Thanks for the report and pictures. What a cool day that would have been if you were a kid, to get your picture done like that.
