what do you mean? He’s electronic/talks, shoots his parts out and does everything a normal potatohead does. If your talking about a lack a selection in parts I guess I can understand that, but he definetly has more than your typical potatohead.
As for why he’s not out, your guess is as good as ours right now. But why do you assume there won’t be other videoes? Why assume that there won’t be more highlights? Obviously thier not all toy story related, which leads me to think the first ones will scroll over or something. I can’t see them covering the aluens and not the armymen and Mr potatohead.
Well, they did say on numerous websites that there will be only 7 videos in the series, including the first one where Lasseter introduces all the toys. If this is true, then after the Aliens and Buzz, there’s only room for either Mr. Potato Head or the Bucket O Soldiers.
[i]"Rex and RC arrived today, and despite Rex’s mouth not moving, I do like it. Photos to come in like a week. Too much work right now.
And I spoke in great lengths to the folks behind these toys. They mentioned that it was kind of safety issue as well as price issue. Not sure which one was the real culprit (i think price) but I explained that I would prefer the jaw articulation over electronics if it came down to it. They were really passionate about toys themselves so it was great talking to them about it, even if it’s too late. They said if the toys do well, they can see what they can do down in conjunction with the new movie to get that jaw articulation back in there."[/i]
Too bad, but there is hope for a corrected version in the future.
What? that sucks. what happened to the guy who claimed it had a rubber head with articulation? Who would lie about something like that…
Maybe I’ll hold off on him in hopes of them releasing a better one before TS3 releases, and buy everyone but him.
Saftey concerns.
and I cant wrap my brain around them possibly choosing electronics over accurate articulation. these are meant to be for collectors, am I right? they need to pick one. if your targeting kids, you can sacrifice articulation and accuracy for electronic gimmicks, but dont market these as collector’s replicas and turn around and pull this type of thing.
I’m hopeful but doubtful they’ll fix it any time soon. I mean, how would they even do it? just quietly sneak it in and not advertise it as a new product? or start up a new line?
Kyle, have you attempted removing the paint? My Woody has just a sliver of excess paint around his eye as well, and I’d like some advice on how to remove it…
I stopped by the local Toys R Us that had an extra section set up for Toy Story near near entrance today. They had a talking Jessie doll that I didn’t pick up or examine much, but it looks like a new design. It’s packaged like the $35 Woody doll and has the similar basic talking pull string feature. I couldn’t find pics of it on the TRU or Thinkway websites, but saw this one on eBay. Keep an eye out if you’re looking for an updated Jessie. If they haven’t shown up already, they should be soon.
Pretty cool, but I’ll hold out for the better one coming out later.
I wonder how similar to the older design this is. I never owned one myself (because really they never made a decent one).
Something about the face seems off. like the chin/jaw is too fat.
Is the hair made of yarn by the way? the ones I remember had plastic hair.
I bought Jessie for someone today. Like the others, the back of the box notes that it was created using Pixar’s digital data. The hat has real stitching like the Collection Woody, but the hair is indeed solid plastic.
