I neeeeeed them x) !
canāt wait to know when they will be available :')
dollyās eyes are a bit oversized though, I think, well thereās something wrong with her face donāt know what xD aah maybe the tooth is missing xD
I checked the websites listed under Vividās distributors, couldnāt find them anywhere other than Amazon. Also, if you click on the scrolling link for Toy Story on their homepage, the 3 plush toys donāt show up. This probably means that they havenāt gotten around to updating it as well (for some reason thereās 2 separate pages, a scrolling link one and another link under ābrandsā), so these are definitely new. As in within 5 days.
[edit] A cache of the page (saved ābackupā of the page from a few days ago) wonāt seem to load at all, so it looks like the page listed in their ābrandsā (the one whose URL ends in toy-story-3.php) is definitely brand new. I cacheād the other page, the one linked on the homepage (the one ending in toy-story.php) and it only showed Woody, Buzz and Lotso (it still does) and it was cached on the 24th.
So the new page was made at the very most, 3 days ago.
OMG! OMG! LOOK AT THEM! AH! There so awesome! But iām still waiting for them to release a Trixie TSC. But still, we thought that the wave 3 was going to be crap with the Hawaiian Vacation toys and others. There is still hope. I now that were not sure that these are TSC and not even made by Thinkway. But still there is hope that these are TSC! I just hope they donāt have electronics in them. But again, these are great! The only one i really need is Mr.PricklePants. Man, Iām SO EXITED!!
These three characters look awesome. I few interesting things to note:
right before wave 2 was announced, Mr Potatohead popped up on Amazon, which was the precursor for the whole wave, itās possible we can get still be getting a chuckles, Trixie, maybe peas? As well as any from the previous movies: Big Baby, Twitch (from Doomseeker), Stinky Pete, Zurg, Mrs. P
It is strange that Jenny from thinkway would tell us they are being released in the fall, only to say they werenāt going to release any til 2012, and after all that, 3 characters pop up on Amazon in JULYā¦what do they smoke in Canada?
It appears that none of these characters have the extra electronics, which most of us didnāt wantā¦could they actually read this board?
As a result of (3), these seem to be the cheapest TSC characters so far (except the bucket o soldiers), coming in at 19.99 Pounds. This is the equivalent of $32. However, the TSC is more expensive abroad. Most of the TSC in the UK are about 39.99 pounds retail, or about $65. Since the normal price here is $50, 50/65 = x/32 , x is about $26ā¦soā¦Iām guessing the max price in each one is $29.99, might even be $24.99. Which is refreshing ($75-$90 for all three, opposed to $50 for one).
So far, Doomseeker has been right on the money: Hawaiian vacation Woody, Jessie, Buzz, and now these three. Will this trend continue and we get Twitch and Big Baby, or will Thinkway just stick with the characters appearing in the shorts? Or will they go back and do Pete, Zurg, Mrs. P, or Bo? Or some combo? The verdict is out.
I donāt doubt for a second that they do. Iād bet money on it. Mind you, I donāt know how much influence we actually have, but my thread is the first result when you Google toy story collection. they have over 400 pages worth in that one thread alone to get a consensus amongst the more hardcore collectors. The thing is weāre still a niche demographic. in the end its about the general public. Fortunately I think when it comes to electronics the public agrees with us, and are showing it with their wallets.
But I think we should keep this in the other thread.
