TBT! Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Iron Man 2 Cosbabys (ies?) up for pre-order from BBTS http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product...amp;picture=out They show 7 & if that is what they honour then that is a brilliant deal compared to Cosbabies normally ! Don't rush Those look fun however with the sheer number of IM rated stuff coming out I have put blinkers on a lot of stuff... I think that the 1/6th scale thread is where I would be most likely to breakdown. Having said that I did love the way the PotC Cosbabies looked. T.

buttheadsmate Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Some of the Cosbaby stuff is ....as it's meant to be....fun... but the doe-eyed(is it dough -eyed?) theme is very very wearing & that is perhaps why the Iron-man stuff is endearing (helmets).........especially the Blue Stealth...yep the Blue Stealth . He's such a fat b*stard you wouldn't get him in your Hall of Mirrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Even then, they still have those ridiculous clown feet, though. I've got two of these, and that's more than I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 These are now beginning to show on ebay at twice the BBTS price .....seriously these are worth every penny at that (BBTS) price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of resale value, or in terms of value as a toy? I might agree on the first point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I just don't know who they appeal to.....although my girlfriend really loves the latest Disney series.....I'm not exactly sure why I collect them The Iron Man stuff needs to be seen in the flesh because they are cute..... but very fragile. Investment potential? The early secrets just don't show anywhere which must make them potentially valuable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) I just don't know who they appeal to.....although my girlfriend really loves the latest Disney series. I think that makes lots of sense, because they all essentially look like Mickey Mouse, something I've noticed awhile back. Big, dis-proportioned heads and eyes and of course, the Mickey Mouse/clown feet. But for Aliens and Iron Man? That doesn't do it for me. There must be a market for them somewhere for Hot Toys to keep cranking them out. Edited March 25, 2010 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Freaky. That's the Stark head from the Hot Toys Mark I. The more I see Cosbabies, the more I despise them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I hate to say it, but I've been seeing a lot of those... things at too many of my local toy stores. At the department stores, even! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 In fairness, they aren't as bad as Blammoids, which I had the misfortune to see in person at Borders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthRaider Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) Which reminds me... at my nearest LCS, Blammoids are peg-warming. Waves 31-32, meanwhile, have gotten virtually cleared out Back on topic: I was actually genuinely surprised for a bit that ill-executed Cosbaby bootlegs exist. Par for the course, I guess.

buttheadsmate Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 On a very serious note & I'm not joking ...there is an almost insidious trend developing in Cosbaby lines which involves the choice of the chase figure. Coincidental maybe ? I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Since I seriously doubt that any other member of this forum has any clue about Cosbaby chases , would you like to help us out a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Let's just say that the choice of secret in the IM2 Cosbaby line was IMO going to be one of two characters before I had even seen or heard of their actual existence. The secret character is Rhodes.....I was 100% on the money. Maybe I'm just good at guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I figured that was a custom of some kind, but apparently there are more of these freaky knock-off Cosbabies out there. http://cgi.ebay.com/NO-SIDESHOW-NO-HOT-TOY...=item1e5c1d028f Next to these, Cosbabies look pretty damn good!
