Robbed and then the thief offers to sell it back?

Thanks, it is from the GameCube Simpsons hit and run I believe. At least that a the search I used to find it.

Ratman thinks it is hit and run because of the robot wasp in the back

I'm not sure what you meant by "left all the rest" ... Did you mean the rest of the snowmen? Or did you mean the rest of the ice god (her pedestal is all we have left until the snow hits again. But she will be back at that time and, hidden in my forest, is giving me a nice multiplier.)

I looked at the title and thought 'what?'. I don't feel that bad, ones a statue and ones ice! :-\

I love the avatar too! I'll have to search for images from that game myself if and when I ever get promoted.

I have a Q: you have to be promoted to be able to use an avatar?
(Sorry for being o/t op)

Yeah, the ice god thing melting was messed up :?

Yes I was talking about the snowmen and other ice sculpture. They left all of them but melted the ice god. When they did that I was a little bummed but it appears a bit shady now to be offered a similar sized and shaped statue. It's kind of like EA burning down our Maple store and then selling us a Crapple store that is similar but a different color. If people liked the ice god like they like the Maple store people would be losing their minds.

There's actually quite a bit of difference between the two statues. "Shiva" is larger, female, has two more arms, and more adornments on its arms, as well as slightly more clothing.

But I do agree that it was sad to see the ice god melt. I did a Photoshop job to restore my statue. I thought it looked great.

And all that being said, since "Shiva" is the same sort of color as the temple roof and won't melt, I do want it rather badly.
