Doctor Steel

January 1, 2005 10:24 AM

Help Dr. Steel take over the world! Doctor Steel is an escaped toymaker with an elaborate, flash-based website wherein you may witness him dancing, leaf through his notebooks and examine his toymaking ideas, and of course, buy his toys. Of particular interest are the recordings.

I have a buddy who works in the weather machine department who says he can get me in. Between that and a good reference from Hank Scorpio, I should be totally in!

I thought this post was going to be about this Doctor Steel. There does seem to be a slight resemblance.

I'm so insanely jealous, I can just explode-

What a fun site! Dr. Steel appears to be a creation of Stan Winston's (flash w/audio) company. Googling Tara Crocitto (contact page) pulls up this story from Variety.

Disregard my post above. The Variety story is from 1993, so Tara may not still be with Winston's company.

Well, I've been trying to figure out/research the passwords on the Good Doctor's computer, but all to no avail...

Dig the look and dig the goals...

Maybe you get the password if you enlist in his army of toy soldiers. The application is hilarious.

Well, as a man can't have a loftier goal, I'll sign up once I get home...
