The ten part miniseries starts this fall, with the full tv show airing next year. I'm thinking that we'll probably start seeing the merchandise next year. I'm hoping that we'll get our Castor figure then. Why not, they already have the molds? Even if they make him a mailaway, I'd get one. I'm also hoping the show is enough of a hit that we get a huge Recognizer vehicle.

Woah, woah, did I miss something?
Freezing production does not equal dropping a license.
Was there an announcement of some kind?abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

I suppose that is just as well. Spin master did not execute this line very well. They were too ambitious with all their light up figures that sacrificed articulation. The UK Disney Store exclusives out shinned their recognizer by a mile.

What got sacrificed? A mid torso joint? Personally I hate the new trend of figures having those, I find them very ugly and don'y think they add much to the poseability.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Just bend the legs into a sitting position and look. It's hardly natural-looking at all. The presence of all the electronics made impossible to have a decent hip. Most of the figures can't bend their elbows near as well as, say, GI Joes, and the shoulder joints stick out of the body so far they give all the characters inhumanly-wide shoulder-to-headsize ratios. They can't have their arms straight at their sides. Kevin Flynn and Quorra are both designed so that no matter how you pose them, they will not fit in any vehicles. Tell me how that's not sacrifice.

Honestly, I don't think we'll get action figures for Uprising. We'll be lucky to get anything more than a cruddy board game, shirts, and maybe some overpriced playsets with non-posable figures. Disney and action figures don't have a very good history. The only franchise I can think of that 'worked' was Toy Story. I know they did Lion King too, but those (in my experience) are rarer than hen's teeth and I was able to sell mine for a pretty good price. Even Disney's most sucessful, long-running animated show, Kim Possible, had a crummy amount of toys (my sister collected those) which amounted to a few mini-fashion-doll playsets and a 12" doll.

I used to think the Hasbro/GI Joe guys were just complaining. Then I found a sweet movie Snake Eyes with wolf, bad ass cloak, rifle, pistol, knife and sword with working sheath.

Immediately I wondered what Hasbro could have done with the Tron guys. I love the light up feature, but perhaps they sacrificed too much for it.

Yeah that's where I found him too. $4 I think, tons of stuff with him. I found a lot of those guys at Target Clearance last year but the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadows were usually gone by then.

Point is, those guys have come a LONG way in the last 15 years (or especially 25 years since the Joes I played with.)

I agree, 4" action figures have indeed come a long way. Even though I think the Core Collection figures were an overall hit-and-miss product, they were better than the action figures I had growing up.
