    I was thinkin' the same thing, and that if these were something new, they'd probably be laughed off the HAMB, but somehow age has transformed them. They really do look like something the ricer crowd would love, just don't tell them that they're old. It's a funny world ain't it?:rolleyes:

    you could mold in flippers or other patterns too.
