The web connected part is worrisome. I prefer the mono-minis, but the 2006 series was pretty cool too. I can live with them painted as long as the paint doesn't suck like series 4-7.
But to be honest I will buy them if they are anything better than dog crap.

yeah web connect has me to believe that they will be something similar to that Spyro or Disney game.

I have a go phone and I never play online games, so any web technology is probably wasted on me. Like Burty, I just want some good figures.

Newer? Well!
they might be more like the Angry Birds web-connected figures - not a chip, just a QR code stamped on the base.
Kind of like the 2006 series where they had the point value on the base. Instead of a decoder just use your computer?

That "Spyro" game, (it was only identified with him during the first title. Then Activision realized children don't know who he is), is Skylanders.
The greatest amount of money wasted well-spent ever.

yeah im sure its gonna be bad, the 2006 series was a waste. Unless they do Mono (which they won't), most collectors are going to care, and if its not connected to a cartoon or video game kids arent going to care either.

I want to see the cartoon too. Hope it is better than the original pilot episode (The Big Scream).

Yeah... Its gonna suck for sure. The online gimmick seems to kill any nostalgia for me, as if the 2006 MIMP series werent enough of a detatchment from what made the original series so great. I wish commercial' toy developers wouldnt just jump on the current band-wagon of whats selling and putting tasteless modern spins on a classic line. Chances are, its gonna flop.
On the odd chance it proves to be good, I'll print this out and literally eat my words. Somehow, I'm not worried.

I doubt it will be mono-color figures, but I think it could still be cool if the sculpts are done well and the paint doesn't look bad. I am not going to piss on it until I see what the figures or at least a prototype looks like.

They should take a page out of the Minikins book and offer both painted and monochromatic variations of the figures, but if it's just going to be marketed toward kids, they probably won't.
If these are supposed to come out in October, I'm surprised we haven't seen/heard more about them by now. Hopefully it actually ends up happening.

Wonder if they'll be shown at San Diego Comic Con?
Like most other people I'm skeptical that this new line will capture the magic of the original. To me it just seems like corporate suits and marketing people trying to make profits, but you need more than business and marketing skills to make a really special toyline that captures kids attention. But we'll see.

My question is, when was the paradigm shift? I mean, the majority of us grew up collecting and loving many lines of mono figures, so why are they no longer considered marketable to kids? Whether or not they have a gimmick tied into them really shouldn't be related to the style of the actual figures.
Is it because it's possible to slack on sculpt quality by adding supplemental paint apps for details? Still seems like that would be an overall more costly production process so I'm at a loss about this

In all honesty, I am getting my hopes high. I actually liked that stand alone cartoon so I am hoping its similar to that. If this show turns into Bakugan, you will see my mug shot for strangling someone lol
