Saw these at my local Toys R Us and really liked them (I'm a sucker for anything from Moose). I can't wait to find a "Limited Edition", hope they are numbered like other Moose lines. Sucks they are only available at TRU though.

They are soft, that was my only complaint. They are very cool though. I bought 2 of the 5 packs. I like the trash cans! I saw on the poster that they have 3 limited edition guys...there is only 1000 made, 5000, and 10000.

s0 are they really s0ft like the boogaz~?

They remind me of the Squinkies material

Heh, they're actually fun-looking! I'll have a lookout for these... Doubt if we'll have them here yet, but you never know. Probably end up as another cheap Home Bargains line

Most Moose stuff, if indeed it gets released here, does seem to end up there on clearance. Gamoja and Boogaz did, and at the moment they have Mighty Beanz and Crazy Soundz (Moose's branding strategy appears to be to pluralise everything with the letter Z).

So long as these Trash Pack things aren't sticky like Boogaz were I think they have promise.

I found them at my Toys R Us store already but the TRU Website said Sept 15th release date

They are not sticky...I hope they end up on clearance because I will buy them all up

I guess there is a free giveaway (for Australia only) if you go to the facebook page and like and comment "you heard about them in just kidding magazine". The first 100 people to say that gets a free Trashie figure...sucks they won't do it worldwide

...you break your O key, Eric?

The images of the figures looked alright, but squishy? I don't think so.

I really like the look of these, sadly they are nowhere to be found for sale in England or ebay yet. If anyone has any sealed ones i'd love to buy some!
Let me know, cheers.

Just got an email back from the Moose marketing department, it's good news!

I received your mail regarding The Trash Pack from the Australian distributor.

I am pleased you liked the website and am equally pleased to tell you that yes they are coming to the UK and will be stocked in all major retailers from January 2012.

If you would like any more information please let me know.

Kind Regards

Awesome, good stuff!

[bizrebellion]

nice, good bit of detective work there TwoHeadedBoy

[seekingxar]

not to rub it in to you guys in the UK but so far I have bought 3 of the 5 packs and 4 of the 2 packs. I have only 1 double so far, so 22 different guys! Now that I'm hooked, have to try for a complete set.

The nice lady at Moose is sending me a little something for free to get me started, whetting the appetite so-to-speak. The marketing team at Moose are superb

That kid is awesome. He takes pride in being called a dork.

I'm gonna need to make trip to my local Toys R us sometime this week.

Just saying, Moose have the best customer relations team EVER. When they said they'd send me a little something to start me off, I was expecting maybe a single blind pack. Opened the post this morning and they'd sent me a whole 12 pack! Just about to open them, the beginning of another obsession, oh yes.

EDIT:

Just opened them up, they're slightly better than I thought:



They're REALLY small, and soft in a bouncy sort of way, but not in a pick-up-hairs-wherever-they-go sort of way. Nice and squashy yet still solid enough to matter. Fun designs as well! Roll on January etc...

Those are fairly cool. Definitely appear to have been designed by the same guy who did Boogaz.

[BaltanII]

Thanks so much for adding all this info. Between the review (haha, that kid does better YouTube toy reviews than some adults) and the awesome pics, it sounds like these figures could be up my alley after all! Shame I haven't seen any yet.
