The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

What Petrie stuff have you got?

Here's a poll that came across my mind. Do you have any Petrie stuff...

like dolls, or toys... etc.

I just was wondering.

(Personally. a very very guilty pleasure of mine would be to sleep with a Petrie doll)

As for me, I don't have any LBT stuff (still stuck with my parents at age 20)

and they'd kill me if I had stuff like that  (well maybe my mom not really so much, since I stunned her and made her happy when I showed her my drawings of Petrie.


*If I had it my way and I was on my own, i'd have a Petrie doll and DVDs of "Stone of Cold Fire" and "Great day of the Flyers" *

I just wanted to know what Petrie stuff you have.  I won't get all jealous or anything.

I was just curious and wanted to know.

Only thing of Petrie I have is a toy of him from McDonalds, a coloring book with several pictures of him, a picture of him that I drew.

Nope.  I've got nothing.  I don't really like Petrie that much.  The only thing I've got is an original Gund Littlefoot plush from 1990 and a bunch of printouts I've made using snapshots of the movie taken with my computer.

Here's a few pics of Petrie plushes I found:

Here's the newest (and most common one I see now)

*There's actually one of these inside a toy crane game at a grocery store about 3 miles from my house. (Petrie's buried way way down deep in there, though.)

and now for a few Petries going on ebay:

this second one below is the cutest and most accurate one i've ever seen. I would cuddle up with this one and sleep with it in a flash. *I'd fall asleep faster, too*:wub  :yes

Oh no.. now i'm crying *thinking I really wish I had that one*


Here's a third one. I don't like the look on his face or the hard wing material either.

And lastly, this fourth one *from the original 1988 LBT toy lot of course*  His head & crest are a different color.

I really really love the second one the best. I really really do. That one is the cutest and most adorable *with the most accurate body color too, may I add."

If it were possible. I think it would be great if they made a talking Petrie doll

Now that would be fun, wouldn't it?

I still wonder why Petrie is blue when throughout the entire series he remains a brownish color :huh:.

Possibly to set him more apart from the other brownish character whose head was his favorite resting place? Just guessing there, but perhaps some illustrators thought that each of the five characters should have a very distinctive color pattern.
What I consider more "troubling" is the "bat version" of Petrie which can be found on so many products, a version of Petrie that looks nothing like the movie Petrie. A bat-winged creature with some hair on the head as well as the throat, an extremely crooked beak, and very thick rings around the eyes... that thing looks ancient rather than like a young flyer. I wonder who ever came up with that one and for what reason.
Anyway, there is plenty of Petrie stuff out there ranking from various movable and unmovable plastic figures (including a waterpistol) in different sizes to plushs (many different version there) to his depiction in books (often along with other characters) and on various merchandising. He seems to have been the most challenging of the gang to depict. At least I know of at least one series of merchandising products (spoons and cups) in which he was the one of the Gang not represented. In games to he seems to be more prone to be made some kind of adviser (in the stile of navi in Ocarina of Time) rather than a playable character.
