Be sure to comment in his thread. I loved the Captain Power TV Series as a kid. Recently I purchased the entire DVD series for cheap. However, I'm having trouble getting back into it... Maybe it's because I don't have the toys. Didn't they interact with the video on the TV screen in some way?

They can go kiss a motherless goat! The Anime fan inside of me squealed like a little girl when I saw giant robots fighting giant monsters. I absolutely loved the movie! I should stop going places where I read things like that...

Oh, and I may want to have that little girl squeal checked out too. Might be too much of the wrong kind of anime... :-s
