Homestar Figurines - has anyone made bugs out of these?

Just wondering if anyone's bought a set of these figurines with the purpose of making them into travel bugs.

For the uninitiated, you can learn more about these characters at this link.

I think the purple chick is adorable!

 

Why don't you do it? start them in different caches and make the goal be to travel a certain length (time or miles) and then end up in the same cache together.

i'd never heard of them or seen them before this thread.

(i live under a rock.)

 

I like the orange guy with the goofy smile!

 

-- I've found 58% of the caches in the country! How are your numbers? ;-)

Strong Bad is too cool. He spent Labor Dabor sitting on his cooler beside the stick taunting everyone who walked by.

 

I have the feeling that Strong Sad baleeted his invitation to the picnic, though. icon_confused.gif

I actually have had that thought. I was thinking of a Homestar-themed cache, or maybe racing a few.

LOL, that's what i was afraid of!

 

I'm going to hold out on buying the set until they add Homesar and the KOT later this year.

 

I hope I don't get caught!

myself and a couple of other diehard homestar fans have been following the website for quite a while. I can't imagine anyone being willing to part with one of the figures from the set since you have to buy the entire set, and it's $30+. Strongbad's the real reason most people visit the site anyways... him, and....

 

TROGDORRRRRRRR!!!!

So, question:

Are these brilliant guys anywhere else BUT their own little (but wonderful) website? I mean, have they seeped out into mainstream media yet?

In the final episode of Buffy the Vampire slayer, the gang is playing D&D and the monster they run into in the game is Trogdor the Burninator.

 

They've quit their day jobs and are supported soley on the merchandise sales from the site. But there are no plans for a Homestar TV show.

These characters are great. I like the homestar runner because he sounds like bill murray in caddy shack. The web site is hilarious. I fell in love with these little guys. Where can you find them?

Try here:homestarrunner store

 

I'm afraid that a Homestarrunner TB would go AWOL real fast.

 

 

And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!

 

When in trouble, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!

We purchased the set of nine about three weeks ago, along with TB tags, but due to a busy schedule I have not had time to come up with unique goals for them.

 

Any suggestions would be welcomed!!!!

 

I'll be taking some time off in coming weeks so I hope to release them then. I'll have to admit that the hardest this was to make them "uncollectable". I took the advice from another thread an *gulp* drilled a hole in the base of each figure.

 

 

Thanks MissJen for showing me this thread.

 

IT'S OVER ! ! ! !

Well, I'm glad you all, like, are enjoying the site, and the figurines, and the "electronic mail," and all the other cool features that Strongbadia has to offer. Me and The Cheat do love our fans. We send Trogdor out after anyone else. And I think I'm gonna have to move the tire around a little, it's starting to breed mosquitoes...

 

Yep, MJ and I have been taking in the funnies from this site for a while now. I bought her the set for X-mas and they all rode around the tree on my model trains for a while, (The Homestar Express), and then they all went their separate ways. No way are we sending StrongBad out as a TB, though. He's too cool to be a TB and would be AWOL pretty quick, I agree. Coach Z made a good one, though.

 

Time to send Trogdor out to burninate all the peoples in their thatched-roof cottages...THATCHED-ROOF COTTAGES!!!! :(
