Wow, the only thing I want is the RC Bloo & the plushies. Ok, where'sthe actual figures & Frankie, Herriman, Goo,etc... toys?!

The toys themselves aren't very impressive... and no Frankie, ugh...

If this is all that Mattel is planning to offer, then I'm not interested at all.

I'm not impressed. either, but I'll wait until I see them in person before I jump to any conclusions.

Those toys look AWFULLY small, and like you said, rather "dinky". I did kinda like the plushes, and the Wilt snowglobe was REALLY nice(LOVE that pose), but the Wilt figurine had WHITE shoes?! I, too, am disappointed that there's nothing with either Frankie or Madame Foster; I mean, come ON, they may be humans, but they're still integral characters! I surely would have thought that there would be a Wilt and a Frankie version of those little dancing things, since they both have their own unique dancin' style on the show.

Sadly you have to look at this from the company's point of view. Little kids are the main target of these toys; and for them, watching the show Frankie isn't really as appealing as some of the more major characters. I'm not bashing Frankie, please don't think that I am; but I'm being honest. She's a more mother type character in the show. She brings some good weight to the show, plus she's the one who does the cooking, and cleaning for the house. Marketing her to the younger generation would be imensely tough since she herself isn't as goofy or.. well, 'fun' to the young kids as the other characters are. I guess the same would go for Madame Foster, and Mr. Herriman from what I can see and what I can't see.

I guess that's why they moved those three onto their own statuette, for the more adult viewers of the show.

Aww man! Thats sooo diapointing!! I wanted to see Fosters Action figures that were like the invader zim ones! The could have at least put the Wilt action figure in a normal pose and taller. It would also be cool to see the Bobble Buddies from Co Co For Coco Cards!! Maybe these are just like the prototypes or something. If not then hopefully there will be more then just this!

Thanks a LOT for posting these images, Invader Bloo.

Lol, my studio swag still wins.

Oh well.

I don't think they're all bad-looking. A few of them definitely look decent. CG's right, though, the ones that will buy most of the toys are people younger than most of us. Good or bad-looking items, I hope the Foster's toy line performs well.

Thank you so much Invader Bloo for posting these pics. :bloogrin

As everyone else has stated ~ these toys are a rather unimaginative and disappointing offering! Fosters fans should help Mattel design Fosters toys!!

*Why* wouldn't they make some plushies or beanie toys?

I'd much rather give/or own a plushie than some miniature plastic toy that will fall over on your desk when you try to display it!
