In regards to these two new lines...why can't i make myself stop wanting to buy these Fizz & Find lines?

I hear that. I got the puppies and kittens, too, just to see what they looked like. I'm not going to collect the kittens (cute though), but one of the puppies is a brown dachshund named Oscar. I grew up with a brown dachshund named Oscar. Must have.

Seriously, i even kinda half tried talking my wife into collecting the Fairies or Mermaids, just so i could see what they looked like. It didn't work.

Annnnnnnnnnnd pictures. Wasn't sure I was gonna do this tonight, but I'm still awake enough.





Because you know you care about these two.





Yeah, that last one is a sign that I need to get to bed.

I have an extra Typhon and Tornada to trade or sell...I need two Ice Dragons ( Frostbane & Vrad ) and I'm DONE..lol..I'll gladly pay for em'.

I wouldn't mind getting the 2nd series sea creature ( nessie or marine reptile ) and that pirate zombie from the 2nd monsters line as well.

I just went to target on my way to work this morning and bought two Fizz'n Find Sea Creatures eggs. They also had two of the Monsters eggs, but those don't really interest me, so I didn't pick any of them up. I haven't fizzed the sea creatures yet. I am waiting to do them until I get home from work tonight. But they are showing up in stores. I still have to catch up with Dragon Magic. I am actually kind of glad that this series is a little smaller.

Ooo, excellent news! I need to go to Target soon anyway.

[lhssenior]

My Targets have the fish and monsters too. I got 2 of the angry fish on the far left and both he regular and hammerhead shark. These guys are also mad cool. Will definitely be trying to pick up the rest (and if anyone wants to trade, I've got the one mentioned above, far left on the card.)

All this attention for a bunch of fish and "monsters" that are anything but, and still no Halloween line pics? I haven't seen them anywhere.

Help me, LRG, you're my only hope.

[Liz Sherman]

We went to Target tonight and they didn't have any Halloween ones either They did have one Sea Creature and one Monster Maniac. Aren't really interested in the Sea Creatures but we picked up the monster and got Knockout.



We also picked up one of the Domo two packs...just couldn't resist



edit - added a pic of the Domos cuz they are just so awesome!

are these the halloween ones everyone keeps talking about?

[Scumdogg]

Yep. I keep meaning to take pics of the two i have for Boaconda, but honestly they're not great. Unless you're a huge sucker for glow in the dark figures, then the ghost might be up your alley. Other than that, meh. If you're not thrilled with the Monster Maniacs ones, there's nothing to see here.

[dankingery]

has anyone tried to local party supply shops in their neighborhoods for these. the majority of search results for these came up under party favors and not toys.

[CCVegita]

I have looked in a party store the 3 times I have been in one over the past 6 months or so......no luck there.

[Liz Sherman]

Has anyone seen the Skeleflex line from Wild Planet yet? A bit pricey but they look great...especially the alien ones.

I will have to keep my eye out for these.

[dankingery]

i love skeleflex, especially the alien ones. i've been promising to write a review of them. hadn't yet since i didn't have my new camera, but since i just got it a couple of days ago i'll have to make good on that promise. i currently have 6 skeleflex. they're very cool for display, but not that much fun to play with.

[Scumdogg]

Picked up a couple of the Fizz & Find Monster Maniacs, and those ended up being pretty cool. Still doesn't feel anywhere near worth $4 when it's all said and done, but they are cool nonetheless.

Has anyone noticed that since the Moose name dropped off of these toys, the "Fizz" part of the experience has been completely underwhelming? I don't know if they switched to like a cheaper material or what, but i used to make some awesome kitchen messes with my Dino Magic volcano. Now i just end up with an extremely thin layer of white foam, not even enough to put it over the top if you'd already filled the thing to the brim. Boring.

[dankingery]

that seals it. if they're not cool when they're boiling down i'm not going to bother. the sculpts aren't the greatest, no offense to you fans out there. i know i like crap not many others do <cough> plasmaverse <cough>.

can't we all just get along?

[Scumdogg]

This is a wise decision. I'm just kind of an idiot with money. On the plus side though, i've managed to not buy any of the sea creatures (no octopus, boo!!!), so maybe i'm on the road to recovery. I just couldn't turn down monsters. One of them is a torso, man! A torso! Not that i got the torso, of course.

[Eilonwe]

Anyone still need Bruin? I've got a spare.

I've also got the monster from my pics above, Nivek and Tornada.

Saw one of the monster packs at Target, but sadly no sea creatures. But at least I know there's a chance they might come in.

Every time i've seen the Sea Creatures, they've been on the peg with an equal number of Monster Maniacs, Cats, and Dogs. Wild Planet seems to be just compiling every line into each case now.

[Scumdogg]

Anyone up for trading some Monster Maniacs yet? I've got an extra of the green guy lifting his head off his shoulders...name escapes me at the moment. But he's one of the cooler-looking ones, in my opinion. Reminds me of the Ghost MIMP.

[Eilonwe]

FINALLY found some Sea Creatures in my Target. Got to add these two to my collection:





I love them both. Got an extra of the regular shark, too, if anyone wants it.

[BaltanII]

Wow, those Sea Creatures actually look awesome! Haven't seen them yet, now I kinda wish I did...

[CCVegita]

Are you kidding me? I JUST finished my dragon magic set. I have the hammer head shark and thought it was just ok. Those look sweet. Way better then I thought. BAH!

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I still need those darn last two Ice Dragons...I will pay for em' if anyone wants to sell..my trade list has dried up since walmart is no longer getting the Dragons and I never could find em anywhere else.. :?

[CCVegita]

Really? The Walmart near my house had 9 dragon eggs last time I went by there. I havent checked recently since I got all mine already, but Ill take a look again if you are interested? LMK.
