Well, proper Foster's action figures were never commercially available anywhere, to my knowledge. Foster's never really got the massive merchandising boom which a lot of us were expecting, you see - the Hot Topic range was pretty much the peak of it. There was a small selection of Foster's toys, the remanents of which you might still be able to find on ebay, though you'd probably have to import them from an American or Canadian seller. The Official Cartoon Network UK Store used to sell a limited range of Foster's merchandise, although there isn't really very much left at the moment, other than the paper aeroplane journal.

Everybody that I know (Adults) doesn't really watch cartoons, but to some adults it seems really amusing to them. So I guess it could be for adults as well. Animation is to entertain and sometimes amuse the person that is watching it. And of course to show creativity. So I guess it is fair for adults to watch cartoons, especially Foster's or any type of cartoons for that matter.

I remember when I was 11, I use to get teased for "still watching that junk". 6 years later, and still watching them, my peers just stopped caring. My family doesn't care, though my Dad use to tell me I'm too old for it. (I think after my art started to improve, he stopped messing with me. Weird...)

Foster's is indeed one of the finest cartoon series ever, and it has many jokes and hints that only adults understand. People always seem to love the series, no matter who I show it to: my mom, my best friends, my thirty year old cousins...

my art is based alot around cartoons, and when i'm drawing them, its the only time my mam doesnt complain. but i think u dont have to draw to have ur creativity increased by cartoons. i have a very poor imagination, and i'm positive that cartoons have helped increase it.

WG :D

Really, if any adult tells you you're too old for cartoons (not just Foster's, but in general), they're probably just envois you can watch kids without being self-conscious that watching toons equals to "Omg I'm not a grown-up!!"

And this is from a 14-year-old girl, too :)

It took me 10 years to convince my parents that drawing CAN be a serious job.

Now, after studying Administration for 4 years and working as an Administrator for 2 years, I've officially given up on the Admin-works and in two weeks I'll start a study in Graphic Design! I consider the Admin-stuff as a 'back-up' now...

Which you'll no doubt excel at, if your Shakes the Clown comic is any indication. ;)

I don't much care if a program is animated or live-action. What difference does it make, as long as it's entertaining? None that I can see. Foster's is a children's show, sure, and obviously it's animated, but that doesn't mean adults can't or shouldn't enjoy it, and the existence of this forum pretty much proves that.

Perhaps there is a theme in Fosters that you can still enjoy something people think you are too old for- look at Mac and Madame Foster- who both still are attached to thier imaginary friends

Absolutely agreed, OP!
