Hey, sorry it's been a while (bad horrible year for me...) but hey, things are looking up and today in Walmart I stumbled on WowWee's newest blind pack: Monster Marbles!

They're about an inch around, nicely painted little creatures that remind me of so many Japanese RPGs, each has a metal ball core making it heavy as heck but it will glide on surfaces. The hubby and I got four packs of three but alas three of our packs were the same combo of three specific marbles so they're not completely randomized as we hoped (or we hit really unlikely odds).


4 of the molds we got. The paint is really cute.


My favorite


Outside of the bag.

They also have a website though it's lacking: mymonstermarbles.com
Has anyone else seen these?

Very nice! Looks like they've actually had some effort put into them, which is always a good thing. From the website, it seems there's only around 30 of them, but there's some interesting looking things there.

Wonder if we'll ever see them in the UK?

[b00sted]

they are pretty sweet lookin

[b00sted]

looks like you can order them right on their site too! http://store.wowwee....les-3-pack.html (shipping least for me costs more than a 3 pack though lol)

I like 'em! Might have to pick a few up. Maybe I'll get hooked.

I searched the web a bit and it looks like these were launched in the UK first, I have no idea what retailers but they're there somewhere. As for finding them over here they were in the section with the generic toys (Roxx, yoyos, bubbles, and other cheaper stuff), hope that helps!

Looked at Walmart, unfortunately nowhere in sight.

I bought a couple of these for my nephew a few weeks ago, Not really my thing, but he liked them for a few hrs. haha

[seekingxar]

What are the monsters made out of? Hard plastic or soft rubber?

[Ericnilla]

Hard.

[b00sted]

i found these finally tonight got them out for my son (almost 2) and first thing he did was try to eat them lol

[b00sted]

I went and bought another pack and was all the same as the first one. *sad panda*

If I ever find them, I will be willing to trade doubles...none of the Walmarts have them here in CA yet

[b00sted]

bought another set.. same god damn ones..

[Ericnilla]

the 4 Walmarts by me have them. I see them all the time and I live in Socal.

[b00sted]

I swear if I buy one more and it is the the 4th same set I am going to rage lol

Don't feel bad I've gotten three bags of the same combo as well. I want to trade my doubles but I'm waiting until I find a full set (all the different molds at least) before I trade as they're so heavy shipping multiples together will be better, probably in flat rate envelopes.

I picked up a 3-pack of these at Wal-Mart tonight for $4.50 on clearance. Very kewl. I'll go back for more next time I am there.

I got Lava, Sly (silver) and Horn Wing.

I got a 3 pack on clearance at a Wal-Mart awhile back. Got 3 different translucent green ones.

Got a couple packs at a Target recently too, but they were 2-packs instead of 3. Still blind bagged. They had them with trading cards, Predasaurs, and other blind bag stuff.

[b00sted]

I still got mine chillin on my desk but gave up on trying for anymore as 5 packs and all the same every time.. i gave them away to random ppl but that pretty much soured me on the entire line.

[jkaris]

I picked up 4 more packs today.

Bruce - Roo - ICU
Bruce - Roo - ICU - duplicate pack
Bruce - Roo - ICU - another duplicate pack
Nur (clear) - Alweye - ICU

4 packs, net 4 new figures. Bummer. Although I gave a pack to my son, so he was happy to have 3. They are cheap enough to keep buying.

So it looks like a lot of packs are definitely duplicate, but there is some randomization there (hence ICU in the 4th pack, although he did have a slightly cleaner wash then the other 3).

Also, on the paper, the translucents and glows are transposed.

4 more packs today:

Number on back of cardboard: 15212CF
Number on back of wrapper: 13612CF
Bruce - Roo - ICU

Number on back of cardboard: 07212CF
Number on back of wrapper: 07212CF
07212CF: Schmack (clear) - Lux (gitd) - Dev
07212CF: Schmack (clear) - Lux (gitd) - Dev
07212CF: Schmack (clear) - Lux (gitd) - Dev



I also noticed that there was blue chalk with 3 of the packs, so that might be an indicator of assortments. Although all the rest I've bought so far have had yellow chalk. And I noticed numbers on the back, maybe assortment numbers?

[Merovingian]
