Some insight please - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Those are absolutely great, D-Nice! Did you make them with Sculpey or other polymer clays or what?

I'd love to have a Wilt bobblehead to go in the rear deck of my Studebaker; that would SO rule! I've got two plastic figurines from fast-food restaurants that hang from the rear-view mirrors in my other two cars, but it's just not the same, and like you said, the home-made ones are not as durable or designed for being hauled around in a vehicle, especially if it's hot outside.

Hey all thanks for the compliments on the sculpts. The sculpts were made of Super Sculpey and bits of metal wire for Cheese's legs and arms. They are pretty easy to make. My next project is going to be Mac "on sugar" Should be fun to make.

Anyways, ya, they are missing the boat on making toys for this show. I don't understand it either. They come out with a Spiderman movie and theres like 5 different versions of his figure. We seem to get a new version of Optimus Prime every year an a half. But we cant seem to get a break with some fosters figures. Theres so many versions of each character they could do too. Its a shame.

Nice job! I really like the Cheese and chocolate milk one.

I can't wait to see sugar crazed Mac.

Amazing sculptures, they're fantastic! I too would absolutely love to see a sugar crazed Mac when you're able to do it.

There have been a few small Fosters toys, including small figurines that are showcased in the Red White and Bloo marathon every July 4th. They pop up on eBay now and then (and I know a member or two here own them themselves). There are also two small "statues", but they are not intended to be played with by children as they are very expensive, and are for serious collectors and for display purposes only. They also pop up on eBay now and then. I know there are a number of members here who own those.

As for S3 DVD, as it's been already pointed out, the last thing we heard was there was an ad for it on a DVD recently released for another show. Craig also mentioned on his dA page that he submitted the cover art for it some time ago. So all we know is that it's coming, but we have yet to learn the date. If we're lucky, it will be this fall sometime, but we don't know anything for sure yet.

Welcome to the forums, by the way.

Beautiful sculpts, D-Nice-- I can't pick a favorite! And I'm really looking forward to seeing your Mac-on-a-sugar-high sculpt.

As to the toys... Cryin' shame they couldn't get a merchandising deal. There was some amazing potential here that, as JJ pointed out, just wasn't realized.

Le sigh...

holy crap that first one is AMAZING.

Wow, -NICE- sculptures! I've been wanting to make my own of 'toon characters for awhile now, but all the art stores around here only sell very large packages of Sculpey and they cost quite a bit x_x

I'm also disappointed in the lack of action figures for Fosters, and I doubt they'll be any coming out now since the show is ending =\ Then again, didn't Nick get those Invader Zim figure sets out after the show was canned? Heh, you can always hope =D
