Space Ghost Cast
Now that Space Ghost has achieved superstardom, his
co-workers also want a piece of the spotlight. And they get it, with the Space
Ghost Supporting Cast Figures. Based on their TV counterparts from the Cartoon
Network’s Space Ghost: Coast to Coast program, Space Ghost’s alien sidekicks are
here. Brak comes with a variant arm, Moltar comes with a computer accessory, and
Zorak comes with a keyboard. Each 7" tall figure features several points of
articulation. Look for them in specialty stores in town.

Spy Game
Robert Redford and Brad Pitt star
together for the first time in this espionage thriller from accomplished action
director Tony Scott. Robert Redford is Nathan Muir, a retiring senior CIA
operative who agrees to one last mission to save his protege, Bishop (Brad
Pitt), who has been arrested on espionage charges in China. Via many flashbacks,
Muir recalls how he came to recruit Bishop, their years together on the front
line and the woman who almost came between them. With pyrotechnics for the men
and two generations of hunks for the women, Spy Game has universal appeal.
