Yesterday, October 20th, Warner Bros. and classiccartoondvd finally released the entire Ruby Spears animated Plastic Man show! Within the 4 discs, 35 episodes (gems like"Plastic Mummy Meets Disco Mummy" and "Gostfinger", which sounds sort of gross), they've included Special Feature Extras...including our never-before-seen, unaired PLASTIC MAN PILOT! I cannot tell you how happy that makes me, knowing that those 4-5 people who will actually pick up the dvd set will finally get to see Tom Kenny and myself's dream project.
Be forewarned, the packaging is mislabeled--and our pilot is actually on disc 2. There's also a special featurette on disc 1 about the history of Plas and Jack Cole. The folks who put it together at The Cannery were generous with the amount of time they let me speak--even though I looked like a sweatier, twitchier version of a crack addict. They used a TON of our production art (looks GREAT, "Uncle" Phil Rynda, Stephen DeStefano)--floating and morphing behind me, Tom, Jerry Beck, Mark Evanier, Dan Riba and Batman: Brave and the Bold's James Tucker (sorry, James! hahaha). Check it out, let me know what you think! ...and y'know what this means? You can finally post, publish and saturate the web with the pilot! Get on it kids! heheehe
No, seriously. Do it.

awesome andy.. I can't wait to check out the dvd
LOTS of your models, Phil! Looks amazing. Feel free to repost all of those on your blog.
NO WAY!!!! I heard about this on the Plastic Man Blog, but wasn't sure when it would come out, this is awesome!
Also the fact that Warner Brothers is putting out the pilot with this set. I missed the first leak for the pilot, which by the by was a joy to watch, it's hard to (sorry about the pun) find fluid animation that's also drawn well.
I need to get this RTFN! (Right The F*@# Now) Thanks for the Update.
Holy shit, that awesome! I'm gonna do a little rent 'n' rip so's I can finally have it in a non-YouTube vers...
HOORAY!
Ooooo... I think I peed my pants a little.
Andy,
I went to locate this dvd this weekend, but was not able to find it. Hopefully that means it sold out.
I did however stumble across the Haunted World of El Superbeasto which I saw your name on the credits for storyboarding and something else that I can't remember right now.
Did you ever post any of this?

Congrats man, I saw the pilot when it was briefly on the net a while ago and thought it was awesome!!
rad dude!
Haha! Excellent!
What are the chances of this coming to region 2? Somewhere between not many and none, I'd say. SAD FACE.
Hey Dan; not sure if and when...but you can still find my pilot on youtube! (or link on the side)
Seen it! Loved it! Plas rules!
Just finished watching all episodes and capped it off with the pilot and "history" of Plas! Loved hearing you and the guys wax poetic over Plas! Also dug seeing the un-seen pilot!
