 Just a thought:  Sergio
 has appeared in the Simpsons comic (issue 100), and there is
 a line of Guest Celebrity Simpsons figures (I have a Weird
 Al & Leonard Nimoy).
 
 Its a stretch, but maybe enough people pester
 WizKids (the manufacterer) or the Simpsons people, maybe we
 can get a Sergio action figure?
 
 Cheers,
 Alex

  #yiv1000733090 Hi
  Folks!  
 Kind of answers to various questions and also
  some thoughts:
  
  Funnies hasn't started up yet
  because Sergio hasn't had the time. 
 He's bummed
  about that, but Funnies
 will be back and from Dark
  Horse.There will
 also be a Groo Archives,
  reprinting old
 Groo stuff and Groo art not seen by many,
 
 like original covers Spanish Groos and non-Groo
  publications.The guy that did the Usagi
 Yojimbo
  figures told me he still wants to
 do Groo figures, but
  Sergio hasn't
 heard from him.  It's not a
  matter of
 funds needed.  It's a matter of a
 
 manufacturer of X-type of promo product manufacturing one
 up
  tpo Sergio's standards and also
 paying Sergio an
  appropriate amount. 
 (Kind of like the Groo Movie problem)
  And I
 agree, the sales figures are disappointing,
 
 at least to me.  I'm wondering if there are a lot of
  folks like Mark Brown who didn't know
 about them.  I
  don't know what they
 were expecting.  
  I'm also wondering
 what the
  digital sales are.  Maybe
 that's the difference. 
  
  
  btw, I am loving
  Friends and Foes!  Take care all,
  
  
  Gary G.

   Seems
 Groo
  merchandise isn't exactly flooding
 the shelves, yet Groo
  fans are many and
 alot of swag is highly sought after since
 
 it was produced in low numbers...ie: ornament card game
  etc.
  
   The
 last big swirl of activity was over the new posters.
  What if some of these guys who actually have
 contact with
  Sergio asked him to donate
 something as a prize for a
  contest, or
 better yet a Groo funded kickstarter for
 
 something new and exciting (I'd like to see an actual
  posable Groo action figure)... What say
 everybody???
