Action Figure Adventures: Stop Motion Animated Series

[Buzzchuck]

Hey everybody,
I have been making stop motion animated videos since I was in high school. During college a good friend and I worked on two different shows that featured stop motion animation. The first one was called Animation Creation and was a variety show of sorts. It featured little stories and music videos along with commentary bits about how we made it. That series had 10 episodes. (There is a vintage Skeletor figure briefly in one episode)

As we were getting close to finishing that series we started a second show called Action Figure Adventures. This show was all about toy stuck in a college dorm room. The heroes are motivated by Robin (of Batman & Robin) to escape and be free. The villains just want to stop the good guys. This series is 8 episodes long. There are 50 some speaking parts (all toys) plus lots of other non-speaking toys. There isn't much MOTU in it. There are two MOTU posters in the dorm room and a keen eye might be able to spot Modulok in a pile of toys during the opening sequence. The show features lots of GI Joe and Star Wars toys as well as some Super Heroes. There are some Lego people and a couple other lines here and there.

I think if you grew up watching 80's cartoons or love toys you will enjoys the series. I also thing the episodes get better and better as the series goes on. The pace picks up, the story gets more involved, and builds on itself. It's kind of Robot Chicken meets Toy Story without the budget.

Action Figure Adventures:
AFA Episode 1
AFA Episode 2
AFA Episode 3
AFA Episode 4
AFA Episode 5
AFA Episode 6

If you don't want to commit to a long series check out the animation at the beginning of my The Mighty Spector review. Now imagine more toys and lots of people doing voices instead of me playing everyone.

Okay, sorry to bump the thread. I just wanted to post the last two episodes. (Episode 7 is my favorite)
