Lyra Bellacqua: Now With Kung-Fu Grip

Passions I definitely know next to nothing about:

• Professional competitive kite-flying
• Collecting the hair of famous dead people
• Eating rare animals for fun and profit
  
• Action figures

The last of these being the most important because Monica Edinger was kind enough to link to a piece written by an action figure devotee regarding the upcoming Golden Compass film and, of course, the toys that will accompany it.

One of the questions Jeff had for us was to find out the scale. So whilst we were drooling over Harry Potter, we asked them if the Golden Compass figures would be the same 3.75" scale. The folks at Cards Inc looked hurt, as if we'd offended them

"Of course they are," they said!

So there you go. Just in case any of you were wondering.
