Tama has built that fan base and is pretty well happy to stick with the thing they have going on. They haven’t had a major change in design for a while.

Slim Jim Phantom is awesome… more awesomely awesome then you will ever be, and this video proves it! Woe unto you he who knowith not how awesome he is for he is just that awesome.
