Lol. You'll have to keep us posted on his reaction. 8D

Have you ever watched any of the TV episodes, Cass? I personally like them better than the web cartoons, since they had a bit more plot (into which the trademark carnage is neatly incorporated) and were able to expand upon the characters a lot more.

Can't say I have, mostly because until recently I wasn't aware that the show was on TV. I'm assuming it's not on a channel I get, though; I have basic cable but nothing more, as I don't watch enough TV to justify paying for the additional channels.

You could probably find most of the TV episodes if you did a few searches on youtube. That's where I got to see them all, anyway.

To the best of my knowledge G4 has (or had?) the TV!HTF shorts for viewing...if not, YouTube's your best bet

(My favorite Friend(s) are Lifty and Shifty - Their deaths amuse me more than the others for some reason) :P

Anybody wanna see my Happy Tree Friends stuff? :bloogrin:


My Happy Tree Friends trexi figurines:

From left to right: Toothy the Beaver, Petunia the Skunk, Giggles the Chipmunk, Splendid the Flying Squirrel, Mole and Buddhist Monkey. I was really chuffed when I discovered a local shop which sold them for only £4.00, and over time I managed to build up the full set. Sadly, a Disco Bear trexi isn't included (though I do have a t-shirt of him, see below) - it's kind of obvious that they only went for the HTF characters with round ears and more-or-less bare heads, so that they'd only have to mass-produce one basic figurine (Buddhist Monkey looks a bit strange, probably because the ears on the character are a lot lower down). As for the tails, they kind of cheated and just painted them on the back. Oh well, I still think they're awesome. There's a special "bonus feature" too - when you twist the top of each figurine's head, it detaches and reveals the brains within! Erm, could I give you a demonstration on a family-friendly forum? :cheesegrin:

For the record, Buddhist Monkey is supposed to be a SDCC exclusive, whatever that means, but if this local selling point is anything to go by, then he seems to be as readily available as any of the other characters.

Below is my Disco Bear shirt, which I got from Zazzle.com, and also a plush toy of Nutty the Squirrel which I picked up a few months ago on ebay. The plush toys were made by an Australian company, and I have no idea which and how many characters the full range actually included:

Love it. ;D

I really want a whatzhisname the moose plushie now. ;D

The moose's name is Lumpy. I like this show, too.

Lumpy! Yes! I knew that! ;D

I'm such a liar. 8D

Lumpy's design reminds me of Bullwinkle but simpler. Makes me wonder if Bullwinkle might have been an influence on the show's creators to some extent. Neither character is all that bright. :cheesegrin:

Thanks!

And yes, Lumpy the moose reminds me quite a lot of Bullwinkle too. I think that I've actually seen a few plushes of him kicking about on ebay. By far the most novel HTF item I think I've seen up to grabs on there was a Cuddles the rabbit plushie with detachable intestines. :eek:

Nice collection there, JJ! :) I personally have never seen the show, and don't know if I'll ever want to, but that doesn't mean I can't support fans of it in saying it's always cool to be able to show you're a fan of it. :bloosmirk:

Lumpy is a moose? Funny, not only that he might be similar to Bullwinkle, but I'm also reminded that Scout Master Lumpus on Camp Lazlo is also a moose, and his nickname has been "Lumpy" in some episodes.
