My guess it would have been since Castor was related to a bar scene disney didnt think that figure would be appropiate for young kids. Or the first Castor came out with a FLASK and shot glass instead of a disc and cane

Talent approval... I think that means they didn't have the rights to Michael Sheen yet...

Thanks for your honesty, Wheat. I'm curious as to why he's showed up in S3 2" packs?? And are there going to be more distribution of those packs across the US? I know some (very few) have found them in their area.
Just want to know, so I know whether to waste my time hitting up the Target shmucks all the time checking for it...or whether there's no chance of finding one. Thanks, dude.

Not you, WK, but those who made the decision to pull the plug on this line and destroy all those Castor figures.
I don't think there would be a problem with Michael Sheen. The guy was just totally stoked he was in a Tron movie. I bet he has one of those Castor figures.

Wheat King, it would be highly appreciated if you could provide us with some insight about the Series 3 Action Packs. If they are not going to be at Target, I need to know. If the ripoff artists in Germany are the only source for getting these, we need to know that as well.
Whatever the answer, we can definitely send another FU to the distributors.
it was so fun going on the hunt for these toys, now it's a mad dash to try and keep from hemorraging too much money. |

Wouldn't that put Spin Master in legal liability if that were the case, considering that the Castor figure was shown on various Series 2 Core figure and vehicle packages? Wouldn't that alone open them up to lawsuits if rights to Michael Sheen weren't given?where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

Or the Castor Core figure would have had Michael Sheen's actual picture on it, like the Kevin Flynn or Jarvis or Sam figures... Maybe Michael Sheen forgot to sign something releasing the rights to use his likeness? That's exactly what Wheat made it sound like eh?where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

GASP!!! @_@
It literally broke my heart to read that. 300 of them... and most were destroyed?!?!?
At least now I know that some were made. That means there's the chance that unscrupulous Chinese factory employees may have stole some that they may later sell on ebay. Or even the employees who got the figure distributed to them.
Which leads me to my next question... Wheat King, did you get any? And if you did, would you sell me one?

Bummer indeed, but interesting to get some behind-the-scenes info.

I cant sell any of them myself. Well I could, but for the most part I like my job and want to keep it. We do have a policy against that.
As for the Action Packs, I don't know how many will be out at retail. I was under the impression that our wave 3 Action Packs did NOT get out. But since some people have found them, I assume there aren't too many out there.

DevRevenge Wrote:Wheat King, I wonder if you could clear up the deal with Clu's katana?
Why was it removed from the 12" and the 4" dolls in later S2 runs? Do you know which of the variants is rarer (S2 w/ Katana or S2 w/o Katana?)
Also, are there any other minor differences in the 4" S2 recards (I believe it was Sam, Rinzler and perhaps Black Guard) vs their S1 versions? |
When we were developing the line, we were going off studio reference for accessories, which included the katana. Then, after production started, the studio team told us we could NOT include katanas with any character other than Quorra, since she was the only one who used it in the movie. I don't know which version is more rare, but to me the figures are cooler with more weapons.
It's funny too, the katana we produced doesnt look like the katana in the movie. I do like our 'light sabre' lit blade style better.
I don't know about differences with the S2 recards

Very interesting, thanks.
I agree though, more weapons the better. Some of us were having issues finding 12" Clus with katana but Amazon appears to have a few.
Was there ever a 4" Rinzler with Katana? Just curious since the 7" Rinzler comes with one.

Thanks Wheat. One more question since you're still here:
Why did they slow the electronics (lights and sounds) in the Deluxe discs and the Deluxe Lightcycles?? I have some where the lights/sounds move very fast...whereas ones I purchased later have the lights/sounds at about 1/3 the speed of the first batch I got. This affected all 3 discs, btw. Sam/Rinzler/Kevin. Thanks again!

Yes. I tested about 30+ different ones at different stores, and they were all slower. A few, I pulled the pulltabs to test them (yeah, I confess) abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

I agree that the action figure katanas looked better than the movie version. Also, I like the 'light nunchakas' that came with a few of the figures but never saw screen time.
Also, thanks for jumping in and answering our questions, Wheat King! You are a life saver.
