DIC TV Specials

After learning that "A Hollywood Hounds Christmas" was going to be included on the "Christmas Blast" DVD, it got me thinking. Brian, I think Shout! Factory should release a DVD of (some of) DIC's TV specials. The ones I can think of that they made are:

Meet Julie (based on a toy made by Worlds of Wonder [of Teddy Ruxpin fame])

Battletoads (based on the video game by Rare Ltd.)

Legend of the Hawaiian Slammers (inspired by the phenomenon of Pog and similar games)

Defenders of Dynatron City

...and of course the aformentioned Hollywood Hounds special. I don't know about anyone else, but I would love to see these specials. I only seen three of them, but I would love to also see Battletoads and Dynatron City. Now that I think of it, I had heard of one thing that the late Wolfman Jack once did with DIC, but I can't quite recall the name. I'm not even sure if that was a special or a movie.

In any case Brian, I would love to see Shout! Factory release such a DVD, and I truly hope you will consider it.

RE: DIC TV Specials
Have you ever actually SEEN Battletoads?  I lucked out and found the original VHS release, and I have to say that for all the awesomeness of the games (and OBVIOUS potential for an animated version) they SEVERELY messed it up.  It was truly god-awful.
