I wouldn't have minded the cutout, being a unique (signed!) item and all, but I'd have to a) take it home on the cramped London Underground, b) give awkward explainations to my parents, and then find both c) room and d) a suitable use* for a 5-foot video game character.
Factor in that I really like the Sekto Springs t-shirt and that Crash is more active in the fanbase than I am, and it was an easy decision. I did ask Crash what size he caught first, though.
If anyone's curious, I had to answer Lorne's question "Who stitched Abe's lips together?" The answer, of course, is "Sam. His mother. Because he wouldn't stop crying." Mine was the only hand that went up.
Me and Wil (I totally went round the expo with JAW for the last hour or so) later bumped into Crash and his friend trying, with some difficulty, to lug it down the crowded exhibition hall. I felt better for that.
*More suitable than what we discussed with Crash.
