Anyone been collecting these? Read about them on another forum and i really like the designs. Apparently they are not blind packed and they can all swap parts with each other. A bit on the tiny side especially for being 6 bucks a piece but very cool. I was told k-mart carries them.

Those are sweet, but not for $6 each.

They are cool. What size are they?

I'm not sure of the measurement in the picture - are they just over 1 inch high?

I have Amazon's "party pack" of all 6 for $42 or $43 on my wish list just to keep checking for a price drop. I've had these figures on my mind since seeing those pics on October Toys a couple weeks back.

What sucks about the price is that the fizz egg gimmick is a one time thing, and probably the reason for half the cost. As far as toy lines sold in stores though, these are at the top of my list right now of toys I want to get. I'll eventually break down and get them even if the price never drops.

They are part of the Test Tube Aliens line, so it would be nice if Fizzitors were sold at Toys R Us and Target like other Test Tube Aliens stuff.

Those look really cool so I'll probably pick one or two up. I've been interested in them ever since I saw some great pics Ridureyu1 uploaded of them to his Flickr photostream.

But yeah, the cost sucks considering the size of them.

The size and price are all well in-line with Dino Magic and all the other Fizz 'n Find toylines, so no surprise there. I'm sure Moose/Wild Planet have access to metric tons of the fizzy stuff, so they have to keep finding inventive ways of using them for cheap(er) toylines. I actually like that you know who comes in what egg immediately, but it's a nice touch to still add a bit of a chase by throwing in GITD variants.

I picked up a few of these today at KMart. Same ones as the pic in the first post: Thurg, Skully, and Lootch. I'll take some pics and add them when I get a chance.

I probably would've bought all six if they had Turbyx and Grimlet, but they were out of stock. I love Ridureyu's pics of Turbyx. Definitely looks even better than the pic on the back of the card.

$6 each sucks, mainly because they could still make money off them at $3 each and people would actually be likely to buy extras of the same figures on the chance that they get a GITD variant. I'm not disappointed though. It's obvious there isn't $6 of cost in the actual figure, but I think the detail in the sculpts of such small figures is really impressive.

It works and it's easy to do, but the color difference between the figures makes it look a little silly. I think it's cool that each figure is a different color, but the part swapping would be more appealing if they were all the same color.

Got these 2 and I will be going back for more. Just wonder how hard it is to get the Glow In The Dark ones.

Are you sure the Grimlet you have there doesn't glow? I expected that one to look more green based on the pic on the back of the card.

Yep the one I have doesn't glow. The GITD dark figures are clear or maybe even a solid color (they show one pictures on the card) without the color accents.

Just bought the party pack of these on Amazon, and they won't fizz! I've tried everything - cold water, warm water, hot water, soaking them overnight. I literally cannot get the figures out of the eggs.

Anyone know if these expire or something? Or am I doing it wrong?

My set barely fizzed. They had a mild bubbling effect and then just started to break apart in a bowl of warm water. You did take them out of the plastic wrapper, right?

Wow. I feel like a complete idiot. Had no idea that the green outer layer was a wrapper. Removed it and the egg fizzed like crazy.

Toy understanding fail.

Thank you for your help!

No problem. That's cool if yours got a strong fizz effect.

I really love these figures. The coloring and detail is such that the aliens come out looking gritty and earthy. Wish there had been more in this line.
