Originally Posted By basil fan Yes, I have thought about the Basil/Darkwing thing. Although the mouse is less of an obvious gloryhound, his ego's just as big. I'd like to see them try to solve a case together. Now, for my little secret: I post on a Disney role-playing website. It's the ultimate geek experience, or close to it. I use Basil, of course, but somebody just joined as Kuzco, so maybe I'll get to see what happens when egos collide.

Originally Posted By leemac <<Are they doing Ratigan as well? I kept seeing his picture in the LP Magazine ads...>> 5BR - basil_fan is correct. The Ratigan piece in the last issue of Tales was the original movie maquette that was used to illustrate Rhett Wickham's interview with sculptor/animator Ruben Procopio. It is an insightful piece about working at the studio. We also had a great photo of his father Adolfo sculpting the Horned King for Tokyo Disneyland's shuttered Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour. I'm glad they are doing two pieces from the Great Mouse Detective but I'm more excited about: <a href="http://www.wdccduckman.com/runawaybrain.html" target="_blank">http://www.wdccduckman.com/run...ain.html</a> Love Runaway Brain and the opportunity to have a maniacal Mickey is one I won't be able to resist!

Originally Posted By basil fan When I said it was "just" a maquette, I didn't mean anything disparaging. Only don't get excited, it's not a collectible. After all, it was on the basis of that little pic of Ratigan alone that I bought issue 13. Just had to have an article that touched on GMD, my great obsession. I'll email you, FBR, about the site. Pssst--we have no Ratigan! >>maybe I can play Olivia Flammerjammer... Whatever
