Sorry for the long post but here is some more useless information from our friend at thinkway, Jenny Sze
Thinkway toys,
I’m sure you’ve gotten many emails about toy story collection wave 3 but it
seems as though you keep on pushing back the release date, I’m starting to
wonder is this wave even going to happen? Could you give me a confirmation
or any other details about the wave? I’ve spoken to others about your
replies you give, how you don’t have a clear set of what toys you want in
this wave or any other details; but I’m asking you, because I know you have
at least one toy you know will be in wave 3, could I please have some
information?
And also did thinkway display the new toys in the wave at the London toy
fair? Because there is a rumor that these toys will be included in the next
set.
Sincerely,
Andy
Dear Andy,
Thank you for your interest in our Toy Story toys. A part of our new
release, Hawaiian Vacation Talking Figures of Buzz Lightyear, Woody and
Jessie are already launched in North America and up on our website, www.thinkwaytoys.com.
There will also be new talking figures of Power Up Buzz, Lots O’Laugh Woody
and Sing & Yodel Jessie to be launched in August in North America and will
soon be up on our website. These items were not shown at the London Toy
Fair as they are restricted to the North American market.
Bummer. Maybe there will be no more “Collection” figures. It seems off that Thinkway would announce/confirm another three “variants” (on top of the Hawaiian Vacation variants), but not mention anything about a third wave of “Collection” figures if they were still planned for release.
The next Toy Story Toon needs to solely focus on Trixie the Triceratops, Evil Emperor Zurg and Stinky Pete the Prospector to increase the chances of seeing those characters made into screen accurate figures!
They have already confirmed wave 3, and that they already have at least some of the characters confirmed, they just “arent ready to market” them. Whatever that means, if they intend to release by christmas, i assume news has to be soon.
However for those of you hoping for Zurg and Stinky Pete, I wouldn’t get my hopes up. I have a feeling, if they arent in the short, they wont be in the wave. Same thing goes for the “TSC Twitch” and Big Baby, or characters like Stretch or Bo. I have a strong feeling, and maybes its wrong, that chuckles (who appears in the shorts) is much more likely than Stinky Pete or Zurg. Which kinda sux, as personally I’d want a Pete, Zurg, Trixie, Mrs P, and Chuckles first. I’d also like a stretch and changed my mind about big baby. I honestly think that if they released pretty much any character, it would sell well enough. And the more the merrier. But I really feel like “bonnie’s toys” and a small chance of Mrs. P will dominate the wave.
They will probably make mrs potato head no ? She’s so important!
By the way
I’m done with the Bookworm ! I have to add the torch in Tell me what do you think about it!
As soon I put the torch in I’ll take a picture of the Gang, with my STRETCH GLASS
Thanks Wampar, it means a lot from you ! Yeah the loop is the best way to hold the torch i think and because of the shape of a typical torch, the loop won’t be noticeable
Yeah You won’t be disappointed by Stretch, I think she turned out really well, There are the suction cups missing only But it will be truely cool I think I really like how the glass represented perfectly the sticky aspect of Stretch ! <3
Maybe I could show you how it looks so far ?
Well the thing is I asked to someoneelse to make me them and I don’t really know if I’ll be able to remake them by myself + I don’t have the machine !
Thanks ! RoundupGang
Ok ok, here my stretch !!! I have to make the mouth darker and add suction cups !!! I will post a better pic really soon with the other toys too , I know that the legs are not long enough, but remember it’s glass, and it was quite difficult to make them, otherwise it wouldnt stand properly ! so here it is!!
