I've always loved MI, ever since it came out. Yeah, I have drawings of the characters I did when I was little. Apparently, as my mom tells me, I absolutely loved Fungus! One Halloween I was heartbroken when they didn't have any Fungus costumes to dress up as.
However, as I grew, so did my understanding of the movie, and so did my interest in Randall. Well, I guess I still liked him before, but maybe I liked Fung I little more...I don't really know. Point is, I LOVE dinosaurs (fave is the Utahraptor) and reptiles. (Not that Ran truly is one, but when I was a little kid, that's what I thought) So, I saw him as super amazing and didn't really tell anyone, and sort of kept it in the back of my mind.
A few years later, my family and I went to a Disney store. I was kind of bored, but that's where I saw a bunch of cool MI toys! But, these were different. The characters here weren't the same...little did I know that these were the toys for MU! I guess they're making a sequel, I thought. I looked more closely at the characters and saw someone I had to blink twice at.
My reaction: What?! Is that Randall's Dad?!
Yep, a little Randall-like guy with huge glasses and a jacket.
At first I thought the Mike and Sulley toys were fathers, too, but I compared the Randall toy to a MI one, and saw they apparently were the same. But I was still confused!
We were just about to leave when I noticed a little plaque on the bottom of guy with his name: Randy.
Whoa!
I was still pretty confused, so I researched MU and saw it when it came out. And then I just couldn't get enough Randall! I looked him up, and guess what I found? This!
That's my story.

Cool story, it's funny how things can change over time!
