Mattel Toys Next Year

[Invader Bloo]

There'll be some toys from Mattel out next year. I hope the toys are good & not crappy PVCs. I'm a figure collector so some Foster guys to display next to my Zim & SW figures would be awesome!

[Voxxyn]

They better have some good Frankie figures. Better. If they don't, I'll be heartbroken.

[Thornwhistle]

I'd give up a pint of blood for a Wilt action figure.

[Invader Bloo]

If he's acurately scaled I'd get him an a heart beat. What I want in the first 2 waves-
Wave 1:
Bloo
Mac
Wilt
Frankie
Ivan & Stevie

Wave 2:
Coco
Mr.Herriman & Maddam Foster
Cheese
Eduardo
Goo

[Sparky]

I don't know WHAT I am going to do when all this merchanside comes out. I have a single shelf for my Foster's stuff now but that won't be enough come next year. There's no more wall space for shelves in my room, and all the wall space I had in the living room is occupied with our ZIM figures. I guess there's always the dining area! :terrsmile:

Btw the GBA game comes out in October. Weak-looking or not I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to be putting a GameSlave 3 logo on my GBA and carrying it around on Halloween to go with my Gaz outfit, so maybe while I pretend to play Vampire Piggy I'll actually be playing Foster's, lol. ;)

[Invader Bloo]

You don't have to worry about Zim figures, the company that sold figures is (sadly :( ) closed. More room for Foster's!

[Voxxyn]

Those seems like good wave line-ups, though don't forget Madame Foster... the thing is, when I first skimmed my eyes over it, I briefly thought it was a GENUINE ANNOUNCEMENT of what we would be seeing next year.

Sigh. I still have a horrible feeling that there won't be any Frankie figures. :(

[Cassini90125]

Sigh. I still have a horrible feeling that there won't be any Frankie figures. :(

I think they'll have some Frankie stuff, although not as much as you and I want. As for what type of merchandise Mattel will be releasing, that's anyone's guess at this point. Guess we'll just have to sit and wait patiently for 2007... and try not to go out of our minds... ;)

[donna323]

Hi, guys ...

I've been collecting for years! My focus primarily is on female action figures, but I've got others. I'm telling you right now, if they've got wierd little Hai Hai Puffy Ammi Yumi figures on the shelves in drug stores (yes, drug stores), believe me, they BETTER have the Foster's guys out pretty soon. I mean, there is even a set of Ami Yumi cats that you draw on. They are really wierd looking. And God only knows there are kazillions of Powerpuff merchandise out there.

So, I'm voting YES for this big time soon! Will keep my eyes on the net.

[Voxxyn]

The thing that I'm truly worried about is that the Mattel toymakers will think that the "Foster's Five"(Mac, Bloo, Wilt, Eduardo and Coco) and heavily-hyped recurring favorites like Cheese and Goo are the stars of the show--and thus forget about doing any Frankie figures, because they'll believe that she's an unimportant and meaningless secondary character by comparison.

Or, if they do have a Frankie figure, something tells me that it'll just be a cheaply made three inch figurine bundled along with Mr. Herriman and Madame Foster figurines on the same package--while the "Foster's Five" and Cheese/Goo get all the attention and lots of large-size and high-quality figures.

[Invader Bloo]

My guess would be Bloos, Macs & Cheeses, will be shipped heavily. :(
Maybe 1 Frankie figure. Kids don't like her that much.:frankiemad:

[Voxxyn]

One high-quality Frankie figure is all I want. Just one. Action figure, plushie, Barbie, SOMETHING that is made with genuine talent and love behind it.

There are other characters I want to see in toy form as well, don't get me wrong, but Frankie is by far my highest priority.

[Cassini90125]

Same here. The anticipation is killing me. :P

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Yeah that would be nice. But sadly, I don't expect them to gush over any major effort or profit into making a quality Frankie figure. The sad fact is that regardless of who the character is, the main cast will always get top billing.

Bloo, Mac and the trio will get the best stuff first and down the line they'd make the other slike Frankie and Mr. Herriman etc. It's a sad truth considering everyone on this board seems to have their hearts handcuffed to Frankie.

Truthfully, I would much rather have a plushie then a toy. I think a plushie would work best for capturing the animation style used to make Frankie and the others. I personally don't think a toy figure would really do Frankie justice.

[Invader Bloo]

Sadly I wish Foster's would of got in someone else's hands, the SB line sucks. The only thing I bought from that line was a big talking SB. I hope Foster's gets treated better & B/M at that matter.

[Voxxyn]

Mr. Marshmellow sadly furthered my fears even more... I'm starting to feel very negative and apprehensive about the Mattel promotion. :(

[Cassini90125]

Unfortunately there aren't any previews or any significant info available on the web, at least not that I can find. Don't give up hope though, we may get lucky.

[Invader Bloo]

It's Mattel. They don't do minor-ish chracter like Hasbro does with SW or Joe. I've never see them do a Krabs, Plankton or Sandy toy, they're all main characters!:'(

[Cassini90125]

I hardly think Frankie is a "minor character" in any way.

[Voxxyn]

That kind of perception about Frankie just angers me. I'm sorry, but I absolutely REFUSE to believe that Frankie is a minor/side character. How can the very character that basically makes sure the house is in good shape instead of utter chaos be "minor-ish"?

To me, she(and Mr. Herriman and Madame Foster) are as equally important as the so-called "Foster's Five". But unfortunately, I still feel that she'll get shafted by Mattel.

[Invader Bloo]

By minor-ish I mean main but not as important as Mac or Bloo. Minor would be George Mucas or Goofball.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

To me, she(and Mr. Herriman and Madame Foster) are as equally important as the so-called "Foster's Five". But unfortunately, I still feel that she'll get shafted by Mattel.

I totally agree with you Vox and btw it's "mallow" not "mellow". I think Frankie and Herriman and the others are just as equally important as Bloo or Mac or anyone else. I'm not saying they could run the show without Bloo or Mac.

But you get my drift. I also didn't mean to dampen your spirits about the whole toy thing, I'm just saying this because I think "realistically" that is what is going to happen. Of course that doesn't mean it will for sure happen.

They may surprise us and make a kick ass Frankie figure, I'm just saying that's a possibility that could happen. I think the technical term people would most likely associate Frankie with would be "supporting character".

[Invader Bloo]

Mattel= Never kick ass figure
Too bad Palisades closed down, they could of got the license. :sad:

[Voxxyn]

With regards to your earlier post; I'd be fine if they released the "Foster's Five" in the first wave, and Frankie and the other characters on a second wave. In fact, I think it could potentially a good thing, since the extra time would allow the toymakers to improve the Frankie figure--whether it be a normal toy, a plushie, or a Barbie--and ensure that it's a quality product.

My anger and apprehension was fueled(Not at you, of course) at how you said that Mattel would save the best stuff for the "Foster's Five", and how they wouldn't profit from making a well-done figure based on a so-called "supporting character". That only worsened what I previously said. That, and Invader Bloo's post about how he wished somebody else were making the Foster's toys, pretty much killed whatever hopes I had for the upcoming toys.

And personally, I don't care if the word in question is "supporting", "minor", "side", "secondary" or whatever, because the meaning remains the same. I just plain don't appreciate that perception of Frankie.

[Cassini90125]

I don't like it, either. "Secondary Character" indeed. The show wouldn't be the same without her. I'd still watch, as I like the other characters, too, but it would never have the same appeal, the same charm, as it does now. She lights up the screen like no one I've ever met before, real or otherwise. Mattel has to be able to see that; they can't be that blind. She may not get as much hoopla from them as the so-called "main" characters, but I'm fairly confident that they'll give us some pretty good stuff. And I'm still hoping for a Frankie Barbie. :frankiesmile:

[Kzinistzerg]

Well, there are characters that arent't super-duper main characters that you just couldn't run the show without. frankie, madam foster, and mr. herriman are in that category. wilt, eduardo, and coco are marignally mroe important as far as the show being itslef is, but the whole show is pretty much the adventures of Mac and Bloo; they have to be in almost all of the episodes, even if in just small amounts. Frankie and madame fosters and so aon can miss a few episodes, but consistantly doing so isn't the best.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

What I meant was I wouldn't be surprised if they did that. I agree with you, I too hate the whole side, supporting, character crap titles that are assigned to characters in shows because in some ways, it really disrespects their importantcy in the show.

I just assumed that in terms of likeylness, the Foster's 5 would get the limelight shined on them a bit more brighter then the toys being made for Madame Foster, Frankie and Herriman. Does that make it fair? No, course not. But is it possible? Yes.

Frankie's not the only character that has been perceived this way that has pissed me off. Other shows I enjoy like Dragon Ball Z, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs and others have loveable characters and ones that fan deeply support, but are written off as side line guys. Like Frankie.

I personally hope they do see how important she is, and that she gets some more episodes about her. There have been only 3 episodes that followed her completely, "The Big Cheese" was a big role for her but Cheese stole the show a tad bit more then Frankie did.

I hope they do Frankie's toy justice and understand how important she is to the show, seeing as how important she is to alot of us.

[Voxxyn]

Good posts by all. But I want to make it clear that my argument isn't for the writers to make Frankie the be-all-and-end-all main character, NOT AT ALL. I understand that such isn't the role for her in the show.

The point I've been trying to make from the beginning, is that I'm worried that the concept of the "Foster's Five" and the recent mega-hyping of Cheese/Goo are completely overshadowing Frankie, THUS possibly leading to her being neglected by next year's merchandising blitz. Sure, us diehard fans can see past that, and give her the appreciation she deserves. But what if the Mattel toymakers happen to be people who don't even watch the show?

If anybody from the Foster's staff or some "audience tracking" researcher of Mattel happens to be reading this, I hope that they can see just how much she means to some of us, no matter how many times she gets labeled as being a "secondary character".

[Invader Bloo]

The reason I said the other company because their toys are based for collector's & don't have "action features" which can & sometimes do ruin figures. I'm picky, you guys may all love what Mattel comes out with& I may hate it. Hopefully I'll love it. No offense, but to us Frankie is a main character. But in a ton of epsidoes she dosen't sppear. I love Frankie she's great! Not so sure about kids though.

[Cassini90125]

You do have a point, Voxxyn, and in truth I am a little worried about it. I don't think Mattel will let us down, at least not too much, but yeah, I really don't know. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. On the positive side, since the toys aren't coming out until after the annual holiday madness, they may be a little easier to get ahold of.

[donna323]

Here is a link to what we found on Cartoon Network for toys ... looks pretty bleak. As feared, it's the the basic guys, no extras. The only cool thing is that the house is fully drawn on the back of the box.

http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/shop/fos/figure/SPC10FOS0310.01.html

[Voxxyn]

...

Sigh.

[Cassini90125]

No, don't despair! That's just the old CN stuff, produced by Equity Marketing way back in late 2004 or early 2005. It's more for promotional considerations than anything else. I've got a set; they're not bad, but I'm sure Mattel can and will do better than that.

[kageri]

I love Frankie, and she's not "minor" by any means, and I don't want to depress anyone (I really hope they do make something for her, I'd buy it in an instant), but unfortunately I've made a highly complex series of mathematic equations about what they're probably thinking:

Popular with Tots = Money

Important, Valuable Cast Member =/= Money

Cheese, Bloo, Mac, Wilt, Eduardo = Popular with Tots

therefore we can deduce that

Cheese, Bloo, Mac, Wilt, Eduardo = Money

however I still think that

Cheese = Overused

but they don't care about that.

[Kzinistzerg]

Cheese is oversued, yes, but he'd be great as a toy.

[Cassini90125]

Imagine a Cheese plush with a voicebox; you pull the string and it says something stupid. I'd buy it, no question. :cheese:

[scary_dream]

I'd give up a pint of blood for a Wilt action figure.

That makes two of us... as long as they do a good job on him. I kinda wanted/didn't want the BK toys because they made him WAY too short and stubby, but it WAS Wilt, after all.

But *gasp* accurate Wilt figures? Oh man, count me in. I can spare a pint without passing out.

[Voxxyn]

EDIT: You know what, I think I'll just stop while I'm ahead. I'm sorry I've allowed myself to become so cranky and hostile over the situation, but I'm doing my best to be as cool about it from now on. The rest of you that will be fortunate to actually have their favorite characters in toy form, I just hope that they'll be good and that Mattel will do justice to them.

[Invader Bloo]

Don't give up, they may still be OK figures. Hopefully not like the crappy PVCs they give people.

[billytheskink]

We shall see. I think its great that the show will actually have some toys, it's about dang time.

Walking down aisles seeing Kids Next Door and Naruto toys every time I'm in the toy store is frustrating...

[Cassini90125]

Very frustrating; I don't even like those shows. I wander into Toys'R'Us periodically, hoping that something we haven't heard about will turn up. Never happens. There's barely anything on eBay, either, as far as toys go, although they do have some interesting collector's stuff from time to time.

[Invader Bloo]

We will hear news, every toy news is announced. We should see some news soon.

[donna323]

I have to agree with Billy ... I'm totally aggravated with walking down the aisle and seeing Marvel, Kids next Door, Airbender, Naruto, you name it ... everybody but the cool ones.

My dream? Very detailed, Todd McFarlane Style toys for both Foster's and the Edds. That's my dream.

[Invader Bloo]

I only walk down toy isles for SW, I don't pay attention to anything else. The Eds will have toys out next year I think. I hope Mattel shows pics soon! :D

[duck2k]

Once again your's truly is behind the power curve on this topic, but I look forward to collecting these figures (if that is what they are). I collected Scooby ones, and I have a huge curio cabinet I display my collectables in.:cheese: :frankiesmile:

[Carlaz]

Same here. The anticipation is killing me. :P

I agree - it's difficult to be patient! :P

[Invader Bloo]

No pics yet & it's only a couple of months until they're supposed to hit. Maybe at the New York toy fair in Feb.

[Cassini90125]

I've looked for pics, too, but there's nothing out there. I'm getting really curious about what's coming.

[Invader Bloo]

Yet again NY Toy fair is the second biggest toy fair of the year (besides CC) we'll probally see something there.

[GrimTheLost]

My dream? Very detailed, Todd McFarlane Style toys for both Foster's and the Edds. That's my dream.

That would be so weird. In a good way. He would make them look so evil.

[duck2k]

I think Todd McFarlane version of Foster's would be awesome! I wonder how he would make Cheese?:cheesegrin:

[Invader Bloo]

Cheese's evil face w/ a carrot shaped knife. :P
Cheese is already scary.

I guess you could say I'm too busy running this forum to actually go out and gather information about Foster's. I rely on you all to that and post it here. Consider it repayment for me running the forum, lol. ;) So please continue to post your discoveries here, everyone. And I'll always be grateful. :terrsmile:

You are *not* a loser to like board games. They're a great way to spend time together with your friends or family. :bloogrin

[Invader Bloo]

Here's what I want to see:
Wave 1-
Bloo w/ Detachable Arms
Mac
Wilt
Red

Wave 2-
Frankie
Eduardo
Cheese
Ivan

Wave 3-
Coco
Goo
Berry
Jkakie Khones & Cameray

A main character & 2 supporting characters-except in wave 1 nwith 3 main characters.

[Partymember]

cool game!

If Mattel screws this up, i will declare jihad on them. Would i be nutty to forcibly take over the Mattel building and DEMAND a passable Frankie action figure?

[Sparky]

Apparently that board game is still not out, and it was supposedly supposed to be out in December. If they wanted it out by Christmas they're cutting it awfully close. :jk:

[duck2k]

Go for it...I'll wait over in the next county for you...:frankiesmile:

[Cassini90125]

I'll be with one of you two, but I'm really not yet sure which... :D

They'll have some Frankie stuff, I'm sure. Probably not as much as we might like, but there'll be something. :frankiesmile:

[Voxxyn]

I'm thinking that they COULD pair up the characters for their action figures, with regards to the duos featured on the show:

-Mac and Bloo
-Wilt and Eduardo
-Coco and Goo
-Mr. Herriman and Madame Foster
-Frankie and Cheese

I don't want lots of Frankie stuff, by the way; I just want something of decent quality.

[Carlaz]

And I'm still hoping for a Frankie Barbie. :frankiesmile:

AWW I want a Frankie Barbie!! That would be awesome!
It's like they make one of those little "tommy" dolls into a Mac doll HOW CUTE!!! :frankiesmile:

[Cassini90125]

Years ago Mattel made a a Daphne Barbie (yes, I have one :)). If they make a Frankie Barbie and do as good a job with her as they did with Daphne... wow. :frankiesmile:

[Invader Bloo]

I wnat pasable figures of each main character. Voxxyn's idea is awe inspiring too!

[duck2k]

I have all the Scooby characters in Barbie/Ken form. Daphne was HAWT!:frankiesmile:

[fosters home fan]

Does anyone know when these figurines are going to be released?

[megatron01]

Beats me, but I would get them if they are going to sold at WAL-MART.

[taranchula]

I think it's a safe bet that these toys will be avalible at all major retailers in North America.

[megatron01]

That's good. Unfortunately, our WAL-MART is in a small town and they don't put the new items on the shelves until all of the old items are sold.

[HappyFoppy]

I think it's a safe bet that these toys will be avalible at all major retailers in North America.

Likely not _outside_ of it. :(
If Europe gets them, I'm screaming. :)

[Invader Bloo]

If you have Barbies or Hot Wheels you'll be getting these. Luckily Toy Fair is in a couple weeks so we might see some early figures.

[Cassini90125]

I hope so. I'm dying of curiosity about what they may come out with.

[Invader Bloo]

I want Frankie's shoe, though.

That's probably more accurate than anyone wants it be.
I'm just hoping we'll get any kind of Foster's merchandise down here!

[Voxxyn]

Yeah, IB's speculated list isn't far off from what could actually happen. :(

Weren't the toys supposed to come out in January? I guess they've been delayed alongside the DVD(and thus further making me believe that Season 5 has been quietly delayed to March or maybe even later).

Just one thing I'd kinda like to clear up about me; please don't take my original heated posts on this thread seriously. I was in a spectacularly bad mood that day, and I got a little out-of-hand in this thread. I will be very upset if Frankie is excluded, but what really matters is that S5 has more great Frankie episodes and moments. :frankiesmile:

Wow, the only thing I want is the RC Bloo & the plushies. Ok, where'sthe actual figures & Frankie, Herriman, Goo,etc... toys?!:'(

[Voxxyn]

The toys themselves aren't very impressive... and no Frankie, ugh...

If this is all that Mattel is planning to offer, then I'm not interested at all.

[Cassini90125]

I'm not impressed. either, but I'll wait until I see them in person before I jump to any conclusions.

[pitbulllady]

Those toys look AWFULLY small, and like you said, rather "dinky". I did kinda like the plushes, and the Wilt snowglobe was REALLY nice(LOVE that pose), but the Wilt figurine had WHITE shoes?! I, too, am disappointed that there's nothing with either Frankie or Madame Foster; I mean, come ON, they may be humans, but they're still integral characters! I surely would have thought that there would be a Wilt and a Frankie version of those little dancing things, since they both have their own unique dancin' style on the show.

pitbulllady

[CG]

Sadly you have to look at this from the company's point of view. Little kids are the main target of these toys; and for them, watching the show Frankie isn't really as appealing as some of the more major characters. I'm not bashing Frankie, please don't think that I am; but I'm being honest. She's a more mother type character in the show. She brings some good weight to the show, plus she's the one who does the cooking, and cleaning for the house. Marketing her to the younger generation would be imensely tough since she herself isn't as goofy or.. well, 'fun' to the young kids as the other characters are. I guess the same would go for Madame Foster, and Mr. Herriman from what I can see and what I can't see.

I guess that's why they moved those three onto their own statuette, for the more adult viewers of the show.

[Xx_BrokenWithASmile_Xx]

Aww man! Thats sooo diapointing!! I wanted to see Fosters Action figures that were like the invader zim ones! The could have at least put the Wilt action figure in a normal pose and taller. It would also be cool to see the Bobble Buddies from Co Co For Coco Cards!! Maybe these are just like the prototypes or something. If not then hopefully there will be more then just this!

[Sparky]

Thanks a LOT for posting these images, Invader Bloo. :D

Lol, my studio swag still wins. ;) Oh well.

[One Radical Dude]

I don't think they're all bad-looking. A few of them definitely look decent. CG's right, though, the ones that will buy most of the toys are people younger than most of us. Good or bad-looking items, I hope the Foster's toy line performs well.

[Carlaz]

Thank you so much Invader Bloo for posting these pics. :bloogrin

As everyone else has stated ~ these toys are a rather unimaginative and disappointing offering! Fosters fans should help Mattel design Fosters toys!!

*Why* wouldn't they make some plushies or beanie toys?

I'd much rather give/or own a plushie than some miniature plastic toy that will fall over on your desk when you try to display it! :(

[duck2k]

I'm not impressed. either, but I'll wait until I see them in person before I jump to any conclusions.

Me too. I am sure there will be more characters by then:frankiesmile:

[Invader Bloo]

I'm quite disapointed that Mattel got this license.
Look at the beautiful work Palisades (Now shut down) had done on Invader Zim line:

or to give it to a Children oriented company, Hasbro:

While, the Fosters toys are badly sculpted & badly painted.::)

You are right. I am still going to wait, but after seeing these pics, I do not understand why Hasbro did not get the deal?:(

[Cassini90125]

Does anybody know what date these things will be in the toy stores? I really want to examine them in person and find out the prices.

[lucyrocks73]

I, for one, am slightly disappointed. I think I'll stick (for now at least) with my wind-up Bloo from Burger King.

[Countess D]

I don't think Mattel was the best option.

I was looking for a Cheese toy over Christmas but couldn't find any. My little brother kept bugging about what I got him for Christmas so without thinking I blurted out "cheese". He got mad but I thought about it and I thought it would be cute to get him a Cheese toy.
So maybe they will be out for his birthday and I can get him one.
Yay!
I want a big stuffed Eduardo......

And fresh from entertainmentearth.com, the first picture of a Mattel FHFIF game, Corridor Chaos:

*Sparky offically drools over this.*

Don't know when it'll be out...but it's $15 (US)

[Cassini90125]

Uh, dude, I hate to tell you this but the game was released over a month ago:

[Bloo2daMacs]

Invader Bloo, the link you have given us just doesn't seem to work on my computer... or maybe it's just Internet Explorer...

Well, whenever I open it, is keeps on loading something like, the bar at the top of the website, along with ads. Then it flashes white, and loads again.
(Repeat process until I get so annoyed I give up and close)

I don't know why I'm telling you this, because it's not like you can do anything about it. I just like to complain.

I'll go try the links on AOL and come back with news.

[bloonuggets]

And from amazon.com...

(featured in the NF Amazon Store :D )

Yeah, it looks cute.

edit: I just ordered one. :D

[jekylljuice]

I see that there is a Wilt version of those spinning dare-off toys, even if it's not pictured (at least as far as I could see) on those official photos. Some early releases have started showing up on Ebay. He's paired with Grim (who, interestingly, is actually shown in those photographs with Cheese). I guess that shows that nothing there is entirely set in stone.

[CheesePotatoes]

Yesterday at KB Toys,I saw a Bloo Toy where you use his tongue like a slingshot and if you let go of it,it'll fly! A Wilt toy is included with it!

[bloonuggets]

And welcome to the boards, CheesePotatoes.

I haven't been inside a toy store in a while, though.

[Foster's Geek 287]

Well... I collect diecasts and figurines from:
-SpongeBob SquarePants
-Scooby-Doo
-Star Wars
-Disney/Pixar's Cars
-VeggieTales

Not to mention Legos. And although, you know "What a loser! He plays with toys!"...
Well, I like toys. :bloogrin: And since the "Cars" diecasts are made from Mattel, here's what I can say.

They have amazing detail. There are sponsor stickers on race cars I have to use a mignifying glass to read, yet they took the time to print them instead of just generic colors. Also, they have characters who appeared for only like 30 seconds or less made, so if they don't have Frankie for "Foster's" toys, it'd make no sence. And you're right, we might be looking at 2-packs also. They also did that for "Cars". One other thing: They are probably going to have main characters in like 30 different designs, and some minor characters in only 1. We may someday see "Carpet Burn Bloo" from "Squeeze the Day" on the shelf. 8D

[Invader Bloo]

I collect SW too. As well as Spider-Man & Indy Jones, if figures are ever released for that.

[Sparky]

There's one of these on eBay right now. Since you saw one at a Kaybee's, I'm going to keep checking the Kaybee's here rather than order it, I'm sure we'll start getting the smaller toys. I'd rather save on shipping; the shipping tends to cost as much as the toys. (I couldn't resist getting the r/c Bloo on eBay though.)

[Foster's Geek 287]

I saw a Foster's puzzle today at the grocery store along with a Camp Lazlo one.

[Sparky]

Cool. I visited the local KB and Toys R Us today; nothing. :( But its gotta be coming...

[antgirl1]

Aww, Wilt looks so adorable! :D

[pitbulllady]

Awww, I LOVE that Wilt toy! That's probably the most-accurate in terms of looks that I've seen of him so far. I sure wouldn't be flinging him around the room, though! He sorta reminds me of my old "Gumby and Pokey" bendy toys I had when I was a little kid.

nope it was definitely schmebay ;]

[lucyrocks73]

Heh, I like that...

[ClessAlvein]

I am waiting for the actual figures of the Foster's characters, instead of the unposable Dare-Off Duos figures, and the flinging figures. Does anyone know when Mattel is going to release them, or have they not decided yet?

[Dragonrider1227]

They better have some good Frankie figures. Better. If they don't, I'll be heartbroken.
Me too but it IS Mattel so I wouldn't get my hopes up. This IS the company that turned down the Teen Titan toys because it "Had too many girls"

[Cassini90125]

Yeah, that was brilliant of them. But if they had made them, they'd probably have been recalled by now because they contained lead. :P

[Cassini90125]

Made by Mattel, purchased last week on eBay, arrived here earlier today:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f184/Cassini90125/Puzzle.jpg

100 pieces total. When completed, it measures 11.25" x 16.5" (28.6cm x 41.9cm). :)

[jekylljuice]

Woo, that's awesome, Cass. And lookie, they even took the trouble to ensure that Wilt's head actually fitted into the shot. I bet that made his day. :D

[Shelltoon]

Hey look! Bloo's prank finally worked! I remember seeing this on eBay, I wish I had bought it when I saw it!

[Lynnie]

It's ironic this was just posted today, because look what I found at the grocery store just today!
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/Dec10_61.png
I was just replenishing my supply of fresh fruit and juice when I walk by the toys in with the holiday decorations. I wasn't even looking for anything particular, but what do ya know, it just caught my eye. 8D I gasped of course, as I'm always keeping my eyes open for stickers, cards and stationary, but wasn't expecting anything like a puzzle at the grocery store! They had one for Lazlo and B&M too, along with Spongebob, Dora, Bratz, Barbie, and others.

Sorry for the grainy picture. But I'm sure we've all seen this picture before. You can barely see Wilt, Ed and Coco in the background. I'll try to take another pic once I put the puzzle together. Hopefully that one should come out better.

The grocer I was at was a Haggen owned branch, if anyone wanted to know. ;)

[pitbulllady]

Hey, Madame Foster let Frankie ditch that little girlie dress, and we FINALLY get to see Wilt's HEAD in the picture! I guess some good came of Bloo's prank, after all!

[WiltFan]

Oooh, I need to find those puzzles. :D I really like the house photo one.

[Cassini90125]

I got mine from eBay. You might try some of the larger toy stores, they might be your best bet.

[Sparky]

You guys know the Dueling Duos or whatever they were called...the CN toys that came in pairs of two characters from various shows that you pressed down on to make it display a random number? They come with cards? I'm not sure if you guys have seen those, I'd seen them on eBay but didn't pay a lot of attention to them...Well I was in Kaybee this morning and they had them on clearance for 6 bucks a set. I was about to buy one of each (I would have been missing Coco though) when I realised...I *have* them already. I bought an eBay lot months ago that was all the Foster's Dueling Duo figures and all the relevant character cards. The seller said they were a studio exclusive and I paid $50 for the set of five characters and cards. :jk: Lol...whatever. Now I know what they *are*, anyways.

edit: Sorry, they're called "Dare-Off Duos", it says so on the backs of the cards. I don't know what the game rules are though, they didn't come with anything.

[Lynnie]

As promised last month, here's the puzzle put together.

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/Jan1172.png

A few days after I posted last here, I saw the one Cass got and I got that one too. :D Put it together, but for some very strange reason my cat took a fancy to it. He seemed to think one of his own imaginary friends was hiding under it, and so kept pouncing on the puzzle, hoping to catch that silly little IF. He eventually tore he puzzle to pieces again, and there are now pieces of it all over my dining area floor. One can be seen in the pictures I just posted about the valentines. 8D A nice shot of Madame F's head. I'll try to put it together again, and if I do, I'll try to post a picture of that one as well.

[Cassini90125]

Cats... 8D

I should put mine together but I haven't found the ambition yet. The local stores had some of the CN puzzles over the holidays but not the Foster's versions. Disappointing but not unexpected.

[Sparky]

Lol I got a mint Beetlejuice puzzle on eBay once and started putting it together with the intention of framing it. When I wasn't looking Kiwi stole a piece, ran off with it, and tore some of the paper off.

I framed it anyways, but its got this little exposed cardboard bit. :P
