Just out of curiosity are those like hard blastic or rubber or something else and do they bend?


Just livin the experience through you guys :D

Jesse, the head, torso, and legs are all hard plastic. Doesn't seem like the super cheap stuff though. They have a rubber spine that runs thru them to hold the 3 pieces together. Gives them possability and the option to mix n match pieces to make your own mutant combo.

I'm shocked that they were seen for sale price of $10 at target becsuse that is the regular toys r us price. This is a first that toys r us is cheaper then target. Has anyone seen them at Walmart toys express or anywhere else?

According to the Moose website, Toys R Us is the only USA distributor. Target, etc are in AUS.

Yep, this is right. Sorry for not clarifying Im in Australia.

Target's regular price is $13 for an 8-pack can & $6 for a 4-pack. Big W charges $12 an 8-pack & $7 for a 4-pack. Both stores have them on sale, Ive been buying the 8-packs for $10 a pop. I think K-mart stock them too.

These guys are everywhere here atm! If anyone is stuck and cant find any, hit me up with what you want & I'll pick some up and ship them out at cost price. International shipping is a bit expensive from here though, and the packs themselves are kinda bulky, albeit they are light. Still, offers there if anyone wants.

I'm hoping Targets here get them too, or that Toys R Us runs a buy-one-get-one sale or something. I actually don't think the price on these is bad, but I'm going to try to wait until they're on sale before I grab more packs.

 

I was outside yesterday taking a bunch of pics of mine for a Little Weirdos post...got it up here:

I know how u feel dude I am right beside you in Ireland and have heard nothing about these :(

 

EDIT : Just got an e-mail back from them, they said Ireland will have these early in 2015... So I guess it would be the same for the UK ?

Spending the day off on a 45 min bus ride to nearest toys r us to get 2 packs. Cheaper then getting them shipped and won't have my wife flipping out on me cause the only other way to get them is asking her to get them by her job. Avoiding the whole what u spending money on speech. Lol

Ok cool. Quite a delay between the US release and the UK release, but only time will tell I guess. If it does happen then I'll pick up a couple of packs just to check them out.

A 3 to 4 months delay from US to UK is normal for US TV shows and toys in general though the TV show delays here mean we get the toys from a show before the show alot of the time. This happened with Transformers Beast Hunters. Loads of them in stores and advertised on TV like 2 months before Cartoon Network UK aired a single episode of it.

But, Moose is from Australia.

Of course, they have a history of releasing things all crazy-like.

I grabbed the 8-pack with can and an additional single-figure can this afternoon and these are really cool as others have stated. I did struggle to get a couple to stay in one "piece" so to say. However, the back page of the insert has some very clever and awesome looking guys!

I saw the single can but I thought price was too high 2.99, you know because the 4 pack is $6.

Yeah a bit too much for one figure in a can.

Same here, I just kind of wanted the smaller can! I had luck w/ Trash Pack a time or 2 getting single packs that had the rare ones in them. No such luck yet, 3 bucks not well spent.

Picked up a few of these and I have to say they are cool. I was somewhat hesitant because of the spine thing but all the ones I got stay together pretty solid.

While I am not very fond of the rubber thing in the back (its sometimes pops out so I wish the ends would stay in firmer) it is a really fun line.

Almost like mixing Madballs sculpting with MUSCLES or other LRG

I picked up a few sets last night and was able to play with them against my guys, their flexible nature allows them to play better than most minifigures since they are not limited by the sculpting

I am going to wait till TRU does their typical Moose sales they do on EVERY line they have (B1G1 Free, 40% off, etc)

I did have good luck though, no doubles and got clears of some of the figures.

Saw these the other day on Little Weirdos and decided to go and pick some up today at TRU. They didn't have the 8 packs or even a place for them from what I could see, so I opted for 6x 4packs since there were 6 different visible figures and 2x single pack cans. The first can I opened had an ultra rare clear Bone Cracker which was my most wanted from the checklist so mega score there. The second single can also had an Ultra rare. The 4 packs were a 50/50 split of clear and painted figures and I only ended up with one double after opening all of the packs. 

 

Here's the haul:
