Sweet score, that one is awesome. I don't care what the average opinion of Mr Twist is, I think the character kicks *SQUEE*! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

I was just talking to my pal Mike Rooth about these cards last night. He has done a ton of work for Rittenhouse in the past but wasn't available to work on the Valiant set. He's pretty bummed about it.

Ah, the question I've often wondered but neglected to ask for fear of being rude...

Rufus, what do they pay you at work?
