Randall Pin

[RandallBoggs]

I was looking for some stuff to buy around the net (nagging myself Breath of Fire 3, 4, and Dragon Quarter) and looked for some Randall stuff.

One of the Randall pins that were created was part of a 2003 celebration that showed 5 pins (Including Randall, Wazowski, Sullivan, Lilo and Stitch, and a LGM (little green men, from Toy Story) on a collection card called "The Future".

Of course this is just something I wanted to share, but I figured it was interesting that they considered these five to be "The Future".....

Yeah, isn't it neat that they actually had Randall paired up with STITCH? This was a group of collector's edition pins that went on this background, and in the background, Randall and Stitch were together!

As a pin or they were just placed together?

Well...I was kinda surprised really. Thought they'd trade Randall for Boo or something.

Well...you all know Randall's original name was Switch (I'm still trying to get Randall to remember where THAT came into his life), and it rhymes with Stitch ^_^ Ain't that far off huh?

Maybe there IS some connection... ;D

[RandallBoggs]

Maybe?
You mean there is.

[lizardgirl]

Well, it was Pixar that designed Randall, really, and it was Disney that designed Stitch...I guess there could've been some kind of meeting between the two companies at some point, though I don't know why they would make it so there's a connection between Randall and Stitch, unless there was going to be some sort of 'side' movie to do with it.

.....
Randall was born Cool, remember that...

ANYWAY.

.....Some in Pixar DID leave clues that Randall was, indeed, not a villain. Those same people probably came up with a similiar concept that, in the first storylines, he was allot like Stitch, so Switch was born into the story.

[lizardgirl]

Well, I'm not seeing too much of a resemblance between Stitch and Switch...Switch was very richardy, I guess, like Stitch is, but Stitch was created to destroy things, while Switch wasn't born the way he was. There's also the fact that Switch had a lot of authority in MI, and was thought of as a good scarer (though many might not have liked him personally.) I guess there's the whole being misunderstood, thing, but they just don't strike me as similar...As for the names, I'm pretty sure that's pure coincidence, though why they made a pin with Randall and Stitch together is still a mystery to me!

This is the set in question, right?



Like pitbulllady, I think it's rather neat to have Randall and Stitch in the same pin set. Still, it IS a bit strange, especially considering that Stitch is the only character here who originated from a 2D source. Now that I think about it -- what with that background -- this looks a bit like a very weird, potentially very BAD crossover idea based on someone's leftover-induced dream!

Well actually...
Switch did, in ways, show what Randall was like as Top Scarer. Of course, Randall didn't go as far as to drive in on a golfcart to the Scare Floor.

That's the set.

I also find it a bit weird that there's three characters from MI, compared to only one from Toy Story, and that, as has been said before, Randall is in it instead of Boo. Notice also that Randall's the only non 'full' version, with only his head and upper body featured in the badge. It's still pretty cool, though. ;D

[RandallBoggs]

Hmm....this was made in 2003...
Maybe Pixar learned that Randall was at least, somewhat, popular, and decided to put him in...or something...

[lizardgirl]

But it also has to be noted that the LGMs were used instead of Toy Story's main characters, Buzz and Woody.

Maybe....I don't know....trademarks? Fandoms?

[lizardgirl]

Perhaps...
