    When you use " " to quote someone, it is helpful to actually quote them correctly. There is no doubt T knows what kitsch means. And for the record, this fun-tastic Fuwa-bot is totally kitsch.



    2 things that are disturbing to me:

    A: Ottoman & Batman get the CAPS they deserve, but our favorite webslinger gets no love on the little "s"

    B: How quickly things digress into east vs. west.

    It has been said before, but can't we all just get along?



    On the positive side, this Fuwa-bot is fking rad! Reminds me of my 35mm Volton camera.



    If everyone wants to get nit-picky about grammar, spelling, and other red-pen-loving-fun, let me direct you to Michael Silver's THE GAMEFACE on Yahoo! Sports.

    Again... What the heck is with the mascot obsession? China's secret weapon?

    To T,



    --"I don't even know what 'Kitsch' means"?



    I expected you would've said you knew and didn't think you are such an honest but typical American whose only language skill is English measured by what, Toefl! wooooow!

    Try google or wikipedia, simply touch keys K-I-T-S-C-H, you'll find the word doenst belong to your vocabulary but to the learned type, lol!

    I don't even know what that means, eastman. Go back to studying your TOEFL practice books, you clearly need it.

  • ououou

    Should put our lovly "Taxi Driver Fuwa" into the new Transformer 2!

  • RUSHOUR1

    To T,



    I've never expected the word "kitsch" to be included in your vocabulary.

  • T

    Kitsch?



    I think your Kingsoft translator is leading you astray again, Eastman. Better upgrade.

  • RUSHOUR1

    So kitsch that they simply remind me of Ottoman, Batman, spiderman, or, well, to your disappointment, Barbieman, lol!

    dedlam - that's JingJing's head. JingJing's head is the robot's chest.

  • WatchBagDVD

    Killer! I just hope it's a completely unlicensed product. I'm kinda guessing it is.

  • dedlam

    Whats the thing between his legs?

  • T

    Voltron X Fuwa is pretty cool.
