I've heard these are coming out at TRU (mine isn't getting them because it's too damn small) and I have been unable to find anything about these figures and vehicles based on the popular Cartoon Network kids' show other than this one auction on ebay. cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2622&item=5969285724&rd=1 If anyone sees these and can let me know what the figure waves and vehicle consist of and how much they cost I'd be appreciative. I'm looking to find someone to pick them up for my kids and will be willing to pay or trade xevoz for them. ~SS~ |

I saw the set containing all of the five main characters at my TRU yesterday -- there were two on the rack. I'll go back and see if they're still there. You want both if so?
I was pretty surprised to see these figures; I hadn't heard anything about them. They actually don't look to be _too_ low-end. Decent articulation for their size and lots of accessories. Are they planning on doing Billy & Mandy figures? I'd love a Grim!

Man, if you could pick me up a set I'd really appreciate that. I'd either pay you a finder's fee for it or maybe we could work out a trade for some xevoz. I'd only need one set as my daughter would want the girls and my oldest son would want the boys.
I have no idea on the billy and mandy toys. I never heard of these until yesterday. I don't think this small company they used even went to toyfair. I really wished a solid company like Palisades could have gotten an all inclusive lisence for the cartoon network CARTOON CARTOON properties and gotten their foot into major retailer with a line that appealed to both adults and kids. Besides, we never did get really good Dexter's Lab or Powerpuff Girls toys and there are a lot of shows I'd like to see some well made toys from.
Ed, Ed, and Eddy
Foster Home for Imaginary Friends
Johnny Bravo
Courage the Cowardly Dog
Cow and Chicken
Time Squad
Whatever Happened to Robot Jones
Dexter's Laboratory
Powerpuff Girls
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
Evil Con Carne
Codename Kids Next Door
Mike Lu and Og (no one would ever buy these characters from this show but me)
Samurai Jack
I know some shows would have much higher weighted mix in the assortments due to their much higher popularity but as a group I think it would be a much stronger seller than the individual shows. Lots of really cool toys to be turned into plastic there IMO.

Yeah, I remember how disappointed I was when that first Samurai Jack line came out. I had really been looking forward to those.
Time Squad and Robot Jones figures would be awesome.

Wow, I loved Robot Jones! I'm sure Fosters Home figures aren't far away, but Mike Lu and Og? Tisk  |

Too bad they were made of cheap plastic, boasted almost no articulation, had shoddy paint jobs and next to no character variety. Other than that, they were great.

This KND line is pretty daunting, actually. My TRU just got a bunch more stuff in, and they have a whole line of 6-inch figures, several vehicles for the smaller 2.5" figures, and a bunch of "role-play" weapons and costumes.
I had no idea the show was that popular.

Hey Lobby,
Do you think you could pick up a Common Cold figure for me too? I have a Quickslinger, ML Phoenix or a Shieldbreaker up for trade for it.

Okay, that would be great. He's the only villian in the first wave.
