Words from the Commissioner and Rulings so far
Thank you for all the suggestions. Keep them coming. Here are my answers to the discussion so far:
I am on the fence for:
I’m not familiar with Johnny 5, someone needs to remind me who that is.
Same with Purple Pieman
Does My Little Pony exist as a group or individual entity?
Does The California Raisins exist as a group or individual entity?
I am a little concerned about including entire casts of any show, even one as influential as G-Force. Though it may seem like a huge number, 128 spots will get filled pretty quickly. Probably not all the Gatchaman cast, but possibly more than just Kheop. Zoltar is in for sure.
7-Zark-7 is in with the condition that he goes against Orko from He-Man in the first round as the “most hated supporting character”. Also on that list would be Snarf from Thundercats and HERBIE from the mid-70's Fantastic 4 cartoon.
I had originally written down KITT, but eliminated him due to the live-action source material. It would have to be an exception, so I would need to hear a lot of support, as with The General Lee. We need to be cautious; I don't think we want to allow Fonzie's motorcycle or the A-Team's van do we?
I exclude the following:
Punky Brewster
Wolfman Jack
I wholeheartedly endorse the following:
Peter Puck
Dr Snuggles
Some or all (depending on support and room) of the Transformers mentioned.
California Raisins
Slimer
Dr. KLAW (not MADD) from I.Gadget
Great Gazoo
Grape Ape
Captain Caveman
The unrequited spaghetti eating Muppet (I think Jeffy successfully found a loophole that would let more muppets in)
I can't believe someone other than me remembers the great D&D cartoon. I had left it off thinking it was too obscure. This gives me licence to add the Herculoids, so I'm all for it.
Blip vs. Gleek is on, with the winner taking on the winner of Donkey Kong vs. Curious George.
Yes to iconography. I have thought about some bracketing systems (eg. the "dog" bracket, the “food” bracket) so maybe a system of to

Purple Pie man - nemesis to Strawberry shortcake and her scooby gang.
As to groups - you have the keebler elves - so i say remove the cookie-making machines, or allow the raisins!
I think there were separate My Little Ponies (identified by the cute little bits of branding on their patoots).
If you are going to include villians - i would like to suggest Mummra from Thundercats, he was great and had the coolest toy made after him.
How about an Ewok? Widget? Was that his name?

I hate to nitpick in a way that excludes a favourite of mine, but isn't Donkey Kong too current or something?
As Cheryl will attest - I sometimes get carried away. I have drafted up an icon template for your consideration. Do you IM?
Email me at

Also if this is "taking over" too much, feel free to tell me to back off!

i have not yet seen Schroeder, the piano-playing Peanuts-er. does Youppi qualify? that's a slippery slope, there.
as for villians? Daedelus for sure.

Methinks BuddhaKenji has a thing for Team Cane and TopHat.
How 'bout a bid for the less well dressed Coppertone kid with the dog biting her swimsuit?
Or the "Love is..." kids.
