Some insight please - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Hey guy, I'm new here and have a few questions.

First off anybody know why they don't make action figures for Fosters? I think the closest thing available are the bobbleheads that they are gonna release soon. They keep pushing the date back at entertainment earth though. I pre-ordered them 2 months ago. Right now I have to make due with my own sculpts..

Unfortunately these are oviousy cant be handled like an action figure and it would be nice to have something a little more durable.

Also is there any more info on a season 3 release yet? I want to see if I could get it as a B-day present for someone in August if possible.

Thanks!

AHH! Those are awesome!! They look amazing! I love them.

Hahaha!!!

I don't know why they don't make them. I was kinda mad.

Those are really impressive! Excellent job especially on the chocolate milk one!

Didn't Mattel plan to make some toys?

Wow, nice sculpting AND photographing! It looks pro to me!

Oh yeah, there's this thread Click here about the season 3 dvd, but nothing concrete. Only somebody reporting a "trailer"/commercial for the Foster's S3 dvd, available on a Scooby-doo dvd.

Wow, those are really beautiful, D-Nice.

Yeah, I would have liked to have seen a bit more in the way of Foster's stuff myself - other than the Hot Topic range, which came to be increasingly Cheese-centric, there hasn't really been a huge deal on offer. The so-called "mass-marketing" from Mattel which I kept reading about in early 2007 never really happened, and the odd toys I saw pictures of here and there looked a bit disappointing. As to why this should be the case, your guess is as good as mine. Maybe the marketing potential just wasn't realised, or certain complications led to much of it being cancelled. From a strict marketing perspective, it's possible that any particularly extensive further Foster's merchandising would be seen as having missed the boat, given that the show is currently in its final season, although if Foster's is able to maintain a sufficient cult following within the years that follow then, who knows, maybe somebody will pick it up.

Well, not being a toy man, I don't really have any useful information for you. But I thought those sculpts were freaken awesome!

I have one of those.

Wow, those figures are incredible! I wish I had sculpting skills like that, but the best I ever got was a dinosaur made out of clay that looked like a balloon animal. But those are fantastic, and I too don't know why no one seems to make any Fosters actoin figures. I mean, would it really be that hard? And unfortunately at this point, I seriously doubt that season 3 will ever be released on DVD, but you can still buy all of the episodes off of iTunes if you want, or record them if you have a DVR.
