Toy Story Replicas (No trading-related posts please)

Can you give us a hint? ^.^

Yeah like is it an old character perhaps or a new character in the toy story saga??? I’m so excited of what it’ll be!!! ;-p

I’m working on producing far more complex characters than the troikas…you’ll get details when I have them

^^^

Woo hoo! I can’t wait for more news.

They technically can produce sets forever, but they need to be made in batches no less than 10. So once the surplus is gone, its gone. I don’t plan on ordering anymore. They are made in Russia, so the company ordered more in this batch, just in case. I guess they thought they’;d sell better than i did, and they were right. They won’t order anymore from russia, unless i tell them too

Just out of curiosity, how many extra sets are there?
Seeing all these photos of peoples’ collections with Troikas has made me insanely jealous.

Right now there are 3…with one person going to get back to me tomorrow

Been clearing up after Xmas (decorations down etc) and thought I’d do a group shot of my collection to post up here before my home was back in order (took ages to get them all on display, then packed away, haha). Still a few (actually loads) of toys I want/need but pretty happy with my collection for only 11 months collecting. :slight_smile:
and heres my current display (unit has glass doors which are open but are reflecting a lot in the pic). I change the toys around now and again and give them all some display time (too many to display without them taking over my home) Display is not always themed although it might be an idea now my collection is probably big enough (this time it’s kinda just toys Andy owned in TS1…I’ve assumed he had Wheezy back then too, just cause it suited me)

That looks great- you have a really nice variation of characters.

Woah it looks like you managed to separate Mr. Potato Heads Eyes that he came with how did you do it? Can you post a guide please it looks great.

No, but you can still get the Disney Store version (if you’re in the US), and for only $13:

Also, does anybody know what the most accurate Rocky is, other than the Medicom version?

Weight Lifting Rocky - amazon.com/Disney-Weight-Lif … 125&sr=8-1 right behind Medicom in terms of accuracy but I think its only 5 or 6 inches.

Will it be the robot from toy story 1? XD
feeling this for some reasons xD

I do not want everyone to get there hopes up, because this is the very very early planning stages and I don’t know costs yet

I’ll just say it. I’m looking into how much it will cost for a independent toy company would charge to produce:

Robot
Mr Spell
Full Size Rocky
Hockey Puck (possible, not sure yet since Tyler went that route)

And I’m also seeing an estimate if Thinkway never makes Trixie and Chuckles, in producing them.

I’m hoping I’ll be able to do something similar to troikas, where I pay for the prototype and then get enough produced to get some of my money back, while supplying the characters to everyone.

If I do this, I’d want to do 1-2 characters per year, and give everyone a few months to gather money if they want that years character. These orders will be a one time thing, so I want to give people ample time to decide and save money. For the characters like Mr Spell and Robot, I’m only going to try to produce a replica (not all the electronics and such, because that would make the cost astronomical)

Once again, I don’t know prices yet, if Robot takes $1000 to produce, I can’t do it. Due to my new job, I’ll have some money flexibility though, so if it’s a few hundred, I should be able to.

Once again, I didn’t want to get everyone’s hopes up, but you’ll probably go just as crazy trying to guess.

I’ll post complete details when I have them, don’t expect this to get off the ground for a month or two. In the meantime, the roly clown is underway!

Slink

So Slink, are you producing Trixie and Chuckles if they’re not in Wave 4, or?

I’m going for robot, mr spell, and rocky first…that alone will take over a year and a half…if thinkway hasn’t produced or announced trixie or chuckles by that time…ill try to have them produced…once again…this is assuming I can successfully make any character at a reasonable price

Fantastic line-up Slink, I knew that somehow you was going to robot (but I didn’t know it was going to be a whole bunch of characters!!!) I cannot wait for the line up to be out! I look forward to seeing them and I wish you Good Luck mate :wink:

Looking forward to POSSIBILITY of adding an in-scale Trixie and Chuckles to my collection in 2013 or 2014!

Hi all

I am new to this forum and pretty new to collecting toy story.
I have found this forum extremely helpful as well as inspiring.

I was hoping that some of you kind people would be able to help me?

What size should an in scale etch-a-sketch be?

Thanks
Matt

Finger crossed xD
