Asked Jenny about the TSC items, just got this email…
"Dear Cam,
Disney Store USA will feature these items online and will have a very small amount which should be available in mid to late Oct.

And to all the people in the UK who were happy that the US wasn’t getting these, IN YOUR FACE. U.S.A. ROCKS BABY!!!
Well if anything, we know only that we can take anythnig she says with a grain of salt…
Slink, Go forth and be happy my son…
She did say UK exclusive as little as two weeks ago…
forgive me for being skeptical…
I fully understand it makes no sense to not release them in the USA, all i’m saying is, they don’t seem to have their mind fully made up…i feel like jenny will say anything to stop our messages
I’m pretty sure they hadn’t finalized a US release date at the time that she told us they would be UK exclusives. They may have wanted to see if there was enough demand for them in the US before wasting money on selling them. To please the REAL collectors, they probably decided to release them on the Disney Store website just so collectors in the US would be able to have them too. Marketing and selling collectibles is very tricky, because if you sell too many they will never be an investment. This is why certain companies release certain toys in limited quantities. I am kind of happy these won’t be a full on release and the people who aren’t really collectors can just buy the Disney Store beanies if they want a Dolly, Buttercup or Pricklepants and they probably won’t be able to tell the difference. My friend also emailed Jenny about Zurg and she said that they would be releasing a U-Command (whatever that is) Zurg before the end of the year.
I agree with that, and it appears Doomseeker was right again…makes me wonder when big baby and twitch are set to appear…also makes me sad, no trixie…
Actually scratch that, my friend just admitted that he was trolling me about the Zurg. Sorry guys, no such email about Zurg was sent.
Well if this is true and we have until October then I should have enough money by then to order them all up.
I’m going to sell some of my extra Beanbag Dolly, Pricklepants and my Best Buy exclusive Dolly, Lotso and Peas to afford to pay for these.
All I have to sell is my DS Prickle,Dolly and Buttercup most ill get for them is about 8-12 bucks but if I sell all 3 for 12 that should start me off on my savings for these 3.I just hope these new TSC Versions are only 29.99 which I highly doubt…
Dude, according to my amazon.co.uk order…their Pre-VAT (VAT is Value-added tax, which does not exist in the US) price was 16.66 pounds…OR approximately $27…For reference, their pre-VAT price on Woody was around $50 (same as here)…
These toys will not be more than $30…relax man lol
Well then for the price they are a great deal I will just have to be ready to order these things as fast as I can.
I would stop short of saying that $25-30 for a stuffed animal is a “good deal”…but they could always have stupid electronics and be $50-65
If they look as accurate as they do in the pictures on vivids site then heck yes 25-30 is a good deal in my eyes.
Hey Kyle (or anyone with outstanding Tyler Hasslet orders,
Did he ever finish anything other than the Hockey Puck and Potato Head Eyes?
I know he was working on Chuckles, dolly, Wheezy, Bo Peep and Slink. I know Kyle, that almost a year ago, you expecting a slink soon and were excited…
did any of this ever happen for anyone? If so, will you share pics? Wouldn’t buy them, just curious if any of those projects ever actually happened…
All i’m saying is, they are only worth it because they are replicas…generally speaking $30 for a stuffed animal is not a “great deal”…that was my only point…
What if when you buy all three, they come with an exclusive trixie!??!?
Trixie is worth $100 or more too me at this point honestly…
I say we all join our money together and start a toy creating factory. And any toy we want to see made, we can just make it and we will all be happy.
