We don’t know anything about copyright problems, in their email response to my question they said they couldnt say.
I think based on the fact that a new promo picture has popped up that it cant be far behind. I’d say it’ll be out before the end of the month.
Personally I think the delay was just a strategical move to maximize profit. they wanted to space out the releases a bit more.
Lets hope all the new shipments are the certificate ones!
just got back from my local toys r us and they had the collection rex, but i didn’t see a price, also the jaw wasn’t articulated.
Where do you live Pieman411? It seems like these collection series figures are being released once a month. My predicted Mr. Potato Head release date: November 11th near the release of Up! idk…
Side note, Just won this on eBay:
I live in Canada,Brampton, Ontario…and i’ve been trying to find that pizza planet truck everywhere
Canada, kewl, I’ve never been there. Yeah, I just discovered the Pizza Planet truck today and found one on eBay that was ending in like 5 minutes. I bid on it during the last 10 seconds!
Check out the differences concerning the jaws among several different Rex figures:
(Each picture is either from eBay or a message board)
How did that happen?
thats really weird, mabye the rexs have assorted mouth positions, much like varients?
I believe the one on the left is the chaper one, less accurate in detail and scale.
Nope, all four pictures are the Collection Rex. The one on the left was two pictures of it in the box, but I cropped them. Here are the full pics:
EDIT: Plus, check out the Rex in this photo, he seems to have an articulated jaw:

Yup that is strange
Yikes, so they went and did another rex and still no articulation? What’s the point?
As for the other pic, it impossible to tell without higher res or a more close up shot, but even if it is, it’s no surprise. We know for a fact articulation was in at some point on the prototypes. These aren’t nessisarily the final toys.
This explains why we saw two jaw positions in lasetters video…
Anyway I think I’ll aim for the open mouth rex he just looks better to me.
In some photos I think it may just be the way the figure and camera is positioned, (optical illusion…) So I took a measurment of my figure. I measured between his two front teeth on bottom and on top, from lip edge on top and bottom.
As you can see it’s basically 1 1/2 inches apart. Lets see some more measurements!
That’s what I thought, but the profile pics don’t lie.
Impossible. Look at the second and third pic. Practically the same position, but very different jaws:
Amd I’m very interested to know what the measurements will be for other people’s Rex jaws. Could this be a mistake? Doesn’t seem like a variant to me.
Don’t have a pic but mine measured at 1.5 inches too
Some interesting info from the Sideshow Collectors forum:
"[i]They delayed [Mr. Potato Head] so that they could devote more shelf space for the other figures. Some stores aren’t even carrying this whole line due to the amount of shelf space it eats up. Let’s face it these figures aren’t small and unless you are Hasbro or Mattel, you aren’t going to catch a break from retail stores. TRU though does seem to be the best place to find these. Almost all stores have huge displays to tie in with the TS/TS2 double feature.
There was also a defect in the talking feature on Mr.P so Thinkway went back and fixed the problem.
Amazon had min up a few months ago and Target just put him up a few weeks ago. Both say out of stock/not available.
Mr. P is supposed to be out by Black Friday for the holidays along with one other unannounced figure. Rumor mill says Hamm.
Wave 2 should be out by March which features Jessie.[/i]"

Awesome. Really want Hamm to come out soon.
Awesome!!! I can’t wait for that old spud. Hes my favorite, and its also good to know he wasn’t cancelled
