Single carded pvc figures with a clam shell that won't let the figure roll around in the package anymore were the first of many revelations. Yay. Most characters are ones we've seen in the collector 2 packs. Coming soon are Finn, Ice King, Weapon Jake & Walkman Finn. New "Collector's" 2 figure packs include a Wizard Pack with Uber powered up Finn and Afro & Mustache Jake, a Gladiator Pack with a Brawling Finn, a Ghost Warrior and Mud Jake, and a Battle Pack with Finn swinging a mace (with a knife tied to his ankle) and Jake making a bomb out of his foot. You'll also see a Deluxe Six Pack with Battle Finn, Beemo, Marceline, Finn, Jake and Lumpy Space Princess (all figures previously released in 2 packs).
Larger sized action figures for 2012 include Finn in a Jake Suit annnnd...nothing else was on display, BUT, we did see some larger vinyl pieces of the Gut Grinder, Beemo and Ice King. I can definitely see the pluses in doing larger rotocast vinyl, as it could potentially give us the larger monsters for the little pvc figures to fight, so I'm sure you'll share my confusion with Ice King and Beemo as part of that initial lineup. Adding to that confusion, Jazwares is bringing in ANOTHER figure scale with a mini figure line that looks to be the series they are willing to put their energy behind, boasting a wide array of characters specific to episodes we love. Characters on tap are Prince Bubblegum, Fiona, Mr. Cupcake, Peppermint Butler, Princess Bubblegum, Marshall Lee (Marceline's male counterpart), Cinnamon Buns, Cake (the cat) and Ricardio, Ice King's evil heart! These appear to come in 4 packs with packaging that looks like Finn's sword. THAT'S HOW YOU HAVE FUN WITH THIS LINE!! One 4 pack is a "Deluxe Fiona and Cake Pack" with Fiona, Cake, Bubblegum Prince and Marshall Lee while the other is a ZOMBIE related "Deluxe Undead Pack" with a zombie candy corn, zombie ice cream cone, zombie cupcake and zombie Finn! A third 4 pack contains Finn, Princess Bubblegum, Cinnamon Buns and Peppermint Butler.
I love the direction the company is going in with these mini figures! Let's hope they incorporate a Tree House playset, Candy Kingdom Diorama & Ice King's lair as they move forward and give fans all the characters they can handle to fill them up. So long as the quality is there when they hit retail stores, I'll gladly empty my wallet for Jazwares.

Why no pics of the stuff you don't have pictures of? I'm curious to see... well, all of it!
ReplyDeleteA lot of it was not approved by Cartoon Network yet. Head over to Cool Toy Review though and you can see some of the mini figure art. It seems the Jazwares reps had different rules for everyone who came into the booth.
