Fraid not - to both your questions... Nobody makes a plush little servo - or Crow.. or....  yet. Bet it happens soon, though.

As for youngest.. My son is 8 months, and LOVES the Giant Gila Monster..he's even taken to standing with his foot up on something, resting an elbow on his 
knee.  He has three speeds: crawl after toy, crawl after food, and MST!  He 
shoots in from anywhere in the house when he hears the theme, and actually
manages to watch most of the show. (it seems a little sad when his eyes glaze
over nd roll up in his head as he passes out...)

Well, my next half-baby inside my 'down under', as well as genes in
my wife's body are already keen watchers of MST3K. Beat that :-).

Or, my earlier reincarnation was a keen MST3K fan, the only problem
was lack of electricity for the TV.

For you Richard Kiel fans, dig up his debut, "EEGAH!", in which he plays
a TALL <suprise> caveman discovered by teenagers. Not since Larry
Buchanans "It's Alive" <not to be confused with the killer mutant baby movie,
It's Alive> have so many people stood in front of a black sheet of rubber,
and pretended to be in a cave. Features Arch Hall Jr. from a lot of films
you never saw, mainly by Ray Dennis Steckler.

And No, he is not related to Ted Cassidy. Sorry.

Yes, but in the true spirit of creator and creation, CROW has exceeded
Joel, a bargain basement Victor Frankenstein at best.  He's wittier,
quicker, handsomer, and has a better tan, and a much more expressive
face.

Negative.

Channel 11, former WTCN has changed it's name a couple of times.  First
to WUSA (Ugh) then to KARE (Ugh again).

Channel 23 came into existance a couple of years before a cable franchise
was awarded.  The station was a "broadcast cable" concept.  Scrambled
programming was beamed over the airwaves and you rented a descrambler from
them.

Soon, home made receiving antennas and descramblers started showing up
everywhere.  When the cable franchise was awarded, the station went pretty
much down the tubes.

It was revived as an independent regular broadcast station.  It started
showing really old basically unwanted sitcoms and such from the 50's and
60's.  When those came back into vogue, the station started improving.
A couple of other stations followed which always seemed to manage better
and have better backing.

Channel 23, however, did succeed in one area, and that's with the MST3K
idea.  Their total low-budget non-sequiter way of existance (Forced on
them because they couldn't afford anything else) made it a perfect home
for MST3K.  No other station would ever even take such a concept
seriously.  They probably saw MST3K as a way to fill two hours with no
real budget.

Fortunately for 23, MST3K became an instant cult classic.  Unfortunately
for 23, as Trace (I think) said, "We found Comedy Central and Channel 23
found God."  23 has gone through a number of ownership/format changes and
is now sort-of a local "Family Channel" with lots of Brady Bunch,
relgious-approved-happy-family-values (no Murphy Brown :-) programming.

What seems strange, though, is that they also show some good war films...
Hmmm...

My 22-month old son saw the "Play MSTie" tape this weekend, and by the
end was demanding "Bot!" whenever the action shifted to Deep
Thirteen.  And he recognized the MST 3K planet logo (another yell of
"Bot!").  Honest, this was his first viewing and he's hooked.  Is he
the youngest one out there?

And does Dakin make a little plush Tom Servo?  His birthday's in

Yes.  "Glory" has a scene in which the troops shout "huzzah!" in response
to their commander's words (toward the end of the movie).

 I dunno - I use Messy-DOS, Apple, and UNIX systems almost daily... and 
_I_ certainly get confused... if somebody is used to using just one
system, looking for those silly back-slashes is NOT natural (since Messy-DOS
is the only system _I_ know of that uses them with any regularity)

and,in a true effort to start a non-topic related flame war: what anybody
sees in a hacked up, bastardized, CRIPPLED UNIX is beyond me.. (yeah - that's
Messy-DOS).  I'd MUCH rather use the real thing - in any flavor!

I thought I'd point out that anyone with an America On Line account can
find literally hundreds of sounds from MST3K in the .voc and .wav formats
(well, dozens at any rate).  There are Misties there who have been busily 
digitising sounds for months.

Now, all I need is for Gateway to deliver my system, and I'll be all set

To be honest, I liked the very first version of the letter better.  I was
