Mattel Toys Next Year - Page 4 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

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.

...

Sigh.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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...
