Foster's foam friends
 

I picked these up about two months ago:

Some assembly required. ;)

Woah! Dude, where'd you get those?!

*pokes them* ooooo.... They look cool... Do they have the characters backs on the opposite side?

EBay. The last time they popped up was over a year ago. When this set became available I grabbed them without stopping to think about it.

The backsides are completely blank; they're cheaper to produce that way.

Nice find!

how have i never seen those in stores? Raaaagh!

That's because they were never available in stores, from what I've read. I think they were found at Comic-Con in the year the show premiered.

Eduardo and Coco just became available, albeit not separately, for $0.99, +$4.95 for shipping.

I bid $10 and got outbid, curses ><

question
 

Are there any other foam friends or are those it?

The "Foster's Five" are the only characters that were made. I wish they'd made one of Frankie, of course, and Madam Foster and Mr. Herriman, but unfortunately they didn't.

question
 

It would be neat if they made more foam friends besides the "fosters five":cheese: . Do you know who made them? (like the brand or something like that):P

The only brand name on the packages is Cartoon Network; they were manufactured in Korea. I think only a limited number were made, and they were a promotional item, given out to the press and to CN staff; they were never meant to be a retail item. I was dang lucky to find these, but another complete set may turn up on eBay eventually.

okay
 

Now I understand.:) I've noticed that promotional items like that usually only have those 5 characters(which makes sense for promotional items only).

Long time no see for these. A Wilt foamie is available:

Pretty cheap, too, at least for the moment. 4.5 days left on this item. :D

Just plastic cutouts? Where's the foam?
