1: “You win this time, Johnny Knoxville!”
2: “If I have to hear ‘Football’s Coming Home’ ONE MORE TIME!”

1) Exclamation Pointing!
2) A young Leonidas learns Spartan dodge ball.

The great fetish is balloons. . . or balls. Dammit guys, enough with the euphemisms! Just put some boobs on the cover like everyone else, and be done with it.

@B.Chiclirtz – The blurb writer, Yoda was. Hmmmmmm?!

1. ‘We’ll hold your dinosaur still, you try to bring Branson down in the lava.’
2.’Do you like films about gladiators?’

1. The dinosaur seems to be concerned about something else entirely. Asteroid?
2. Pippin and the Palintir? Indie and the Idol?

1. Pantsless (in the North American sense) dragon rider and two-headed man sight an enemy balloon.
2. Child with unnaturally long arms and anachronistic socks and running shoes tries to keep a ball away from an awakened statue.
Also, someone ought to tell Tag Wizard we need “anatomical issues” for that kid’s arms and shoulders.

Well, then, if the Germans think your fetish is gross, you might need professional help.

1. Figure(s) on the right: 2 heads, 3 visible arms, only 2 visible legs. Dinosaur: funny looking paws.
2. Kid as per Anna T. Statute gets a pass, maybe, despite its unusual proportions.
In short, “anatomical issues” for every figure on both covers except possibly the rider, who seems to be more or less correctly proportioned even if somewhat irregularly dressed.

I’m guessing Conjoined Twins myself.
A Fetish can also be any sort of magical artifact, but you folks already know that. 🙂 Maybe the the statue/monster on the second cover is actually the Fetish, and the kid needs to pull out the magical Pez, but is afraid to put his hand in?
Big Butt dinosaur is facing away because it really doesn’t want to be near the _erupting volcano_, but Shorts Man [1] is reining him or her in hard.

Finally, Barney is put to good use.

1) that person seems to be riding side saddle on that dinosaur
2) that child is defending the last bath bomb from that mossy statue

1) I hope his fetish involves unguents and balm, because that’s what he’s gonna need, riding a critter that size in no trousers. I like how Red Beard is clearly saying “No, you idiot, THAT WAY with the murder beast!” Or, considering the blurb, “Direction, there!”
2) Unsure whether to be disappointed or happy with German Fetish being not at all what I suspected. Good thing that appears to be just a statue, as I don’t fancy the odds of small child with a right arm that misshapen and wrongly placed against anything truly predatory. Also, the uber-80s running shoes, which strike me as even more out of whack than #1’s leather short-shorts.
Wiki sez there really is a hot-air balloon in it.

1. If you blur you vision a bit it looks like the guy on the ground has skewered the dino through the stomach, and the guy on top is pulling the spear out the other end
2. It looks like a kid who was practicing his shot-put for the school track team got transported to an ogre who was winning, quite zealously, at king-of-the-hill….

No Monty Python sketch could match the scene in a real book shop in the year 1980:
“Can I help you, sir?”
“Yes, I’d like to buy… that… book.”
“Which one?”
“That one, next to Dune.”
“This one?”
“Yes.”
“You want The Great Fetish?”
“Mmm.”
“Say again?”
“Yes, I want THE GREAT FETISH! There, I said it! Happy now?”
“No need to get upset, sir. Do you want The Great Fetish gift-wrapped?”
“No thanks.”
“Enjoy your GREAT FETISH, sir!”
