Not certain if this has been covered yet, but anybody notice the cameo appearance of purple/orange Funskool Tripwire in the Firefly/Storm Shadow comic pack?

Seen a picture of the panels, which I think was posted in here a while back. Sort of wanting the comic books for this latest wave, too, and that's one of the reasons. :D

I saw it mentioned, but it deserves it's own thread.

Totally AWESOME use of a relatively obscure foreign repaint.

I saw that.

My question is: Is there any hidden meaning into the name on the billboard?

"H.Ash and S.Mocha Fine Violins [obscured by panel line]

27b Goodge St. London W1

Come In and Get a FREE Chocolate"

It looks like "Hash and Smoke Fine..."

There is no space between the H. & Ash or S. & Mocha.

The capitol letters are: HASMFV GSLW CIGFREEC

It just struck me weird.

Thomas, I have an extra copy of the Shipwreck comic and the Firefly comic. You want them?

The use of the Funskool Tripwire makes me hope Hasbro is awesome enough to release that color scheme on the 25th fig.
