They're gonna be big too? Dammit. If they continue to come out with larger $50 figures I will be broke. I think I am officially going to count me out of this new line they are doing.
*watch me order a wooden bender next week, dammit. so weak I am -_- *

So some people have already started putting up the 2012 SDCC Exclusives for sale via pre-order. Interesting, the one auction said his eyes pulsate?? I am interested to see what this one will look like if anyone here attends SDCC or pre-orders/buys it from someone online. BTW did anyone happen to get the Wooden Bender??

-_- That was $50? At that price I thought he'd be the size of a baby cow! Looks cool, though. Thanks for sharing the photo with size comparison, smalfri2!

Anyone know if/when the UK retailers such as Forbidden Planet are going to do pre-orders on Hypnotoad? The pulsating eyes sound amazing!

I asked someone to pick me up one if they had extra, but they never got back to me. I wasn't really pushing it because like you, I read it wasn't an exclusive. Yet they are popping up all over ebay as these "exclusives" with list prices of $80 or more (bids are around $50).

You should just buy a sealed set of blind boxes, then you get a nifty display box out of it as well!

Saw a shop in Manchester that had Futurama figures in the window, took a photo of it (I was on a photography trip) then later zoomed in and looked around to spot anything I missed (I glanced) and there's a Wooden Bender in there too! Gonna go back and try and get it soon.

Re-releasing an old figure but with a new accessory? Why?

Well it is bigger. Looks like that's the route they are going now with this line.
Speaking of which, I have been watching the Hypnotoad auctions online. People are actually bidding them up to $70 or more. I don't understand - are they not aware that it WASN'T an SDCC exclusive and it's being released in August? All the auctions of course do mislist it as an exclusive.

I was just about to comment on that - like where did they get that number from? Perhaps there is an SDCC and regular version and they vary slightly? Though nothing I have read can confirm this...

I heard somewhere that it was limited to 500 pre-release for sdcc 12.

Now why does the site say "blind box" for that anyone know? Lol. I mean I know the Kidrobot line is known for that but this one clearly isn't.

This is just ridiculous. I was watching it because it was at 29 dollars a few days ago but these can't be real bids. It's elsewhere on ebay for $45 with shipping. I'd be curious to see what happens at the outcome of it lol.

Well I just ordered one for $44.50 with shipping included, I didn't bother to see how much shipping was on Kidrobot website. Seller claimed it was in stock and ready to ship so we'll see. So this just popped up. Is that legit? Does anyone know about that?
