Memorabilia: 2000

• PWC Designs released at the end of the year a Fantastic Four "antenna ballz." Based on a fad that crept slowly eastward from California, the foam ball is attached to your car antenna with the idea that it will make your car easier to find in a large parking lot.
• To accompany 1999's Thing statue, Bowen Designs also released two Invisible Girl statues. One features Sue in the process of turning invisible, the other features her entirely "invisible."
• Graphitti Designs released a number of character t-shirts throughout the year, featuring among other heroes the Thing and the Human Torch.
  
• And a surprising item if ever I saw one: a 24-inch inflatable Thing. Currently, I have no information on the manufacturer, the venue in which it is was sold, or the reason why it was made.
