Re: Vinylmation
Wow! Almost $600?!?! Is it inlaid with precious metals? Does it actually light up and glow?

If it weren't $600 I would get it. That's way too much for one figure.

Really? Again with the stripper?!? You need to find another way to fill your time my friend.Wizzard419 wrote:For only a little more you can get Official Tron stripper heels.
No, NaCler, I didn't even care for the NBC versions. The Japanese toy versions - I think they're called kubricks (anyone confirm that for me?) - looked better.
And for $600, it should not only cook, but mop, do dishes, wash laundry, fill my car with gas, make the bed, and wipe my...never mind.

Re: Vinylmation
Bad Jacca, no more innuendo flakes for you!
And you all saw the heels, what else would you call super tall high heels that are all silver/metalic?
The japan versions I saw were called Trexi, so now we have 3 different companies making them. I wonder which of the japanese ones made them first?

Re: Vinylmation
mindflipper - I just looked up kubricks and found this:
These look more like Lego characters...
The Trexi ones sound more like the Vinylmation. Their copyright lists 2006. Disney says that Vinylmation just turned 2 so... maybe they did "borrow" the idea???

Wouldn't be the first time they creatively redistributed another company's intellectual property, and it sure will not be the last.

Re: Vinylmation
"redistribute another's idea" - you mean like those bean-bag things they sell on the Disney Store On-line that look awful lot like Ty's beanie things from years ago?

Re: Vinylmation
Or taking the concept of a toy that requires the user to build (at a premium) where they can customize the design to their tastes with various extra pieces sold al a carte.... which was taken from another toy store who sued the more famous counterpart (and I think lost).
