Jatta Pake Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Running a search at TRU.com for minifigures narrowed by Diamond Select Toys as manufacturer gives you ... Blammoids It hurts every time. http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?fbc=1&f=PAD%2FBrand+Name+Secondary%2FDiamond+Select&searchURL=false&categoryId=10817117&fbn=Brand+Name+Secondary%7CDiamond+Select&view=all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Hate to thread necro (especially one about Blammoids), but at least DC has moved away from Blammoids and moved onto obese Superheroes with man-boobs. Now it hurts even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Harris Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 So is this basicly a (butt ugly) turn on Russian Matryoshka dolls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Well, at least the Penguin looks appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHEEHEE HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Oh Lord Have Mercy, that is the funniest thing I have seen in ages. I mean it. If DC wans to continue to commit retail suicide, at this point be my freakin' guest. They have the best known hero properties, but for the life of them they figure out ways to screw up retail success over and over. They're only good at selling ridiculous Batman variations, and they can't even manage to do that successfully anymore. I loved DC mates, but at this point good riddance.

youbastards Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Wasn't there an EARLY script of the Green Lantern movie, with Jack Black attached to star? I bring you: SKA-DOOSH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 This is what happens when the people in charge of licensing at corporate don't give a $#!% about the brand or the property. Brand management is more than just licensing out a property to anyone with a dollar. You should take care to preserve future value and align yourself with interests that make good business sense. Russian Matryoshka dolls would be better than this. At this point, DC is just embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 licensing out a property to anyone with a dollar. Except, for some reason, DST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I have to admit that after seeing these, I was inspired. Inspired to change my plans and make these the subject of my weekly blog over at Crimson Monkey. Yes, it's a shameless plug that I feel very dirty about. But I still did it.

DarkRedShadow Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 A toy should really not have that many cautions,what is it a freaking death trap?Those things are SOO cheap.The reviewer said my thoughts exactly when he said "this should really not be $10" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Something else to either get excited or pissed off by: http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2012/02/dc-partners-with-sonic-drive-in-for-justice-league-tots/ I think these are pretty cool, personally.

The Vox Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 These Squatz remind the episode of South Park where they all got really into World of Warcraft. Add some pimples to Hal Jordan and put a bedpan under him and you have a spitting image of Cartman from the end of that episode. Absolutely horrible looking toys (figures?). <sigh> good ol' DC Minimates.. there will never be a better DC minifig.. but they sure as hell try.
