Do plush toys? Methinks they might be trying to start competing with NECA in the 'make every kind of useless crap we can' war.

p.s. WALLACE AND FUCKING GROMMIT!!! I already have a 3" line, but the 6" one shall do me nicely.

It isn't only NECA that is going the odd ball stuff like bobbllheads and plush - it has become an area over the years that a lot of money is spent.

I saw the FvJ crap come in from everyone - and the first things to go were the bobbleheads, snowglobes and shot glasses.

I don't for a moment think it is them trying to compete with NECA or any company for that matter, more than it is they have watched the market and realized that over the years this arena has become worth while to do unlike when NECA got into it and tey were having to give Spider-man one Bobbleheads away with the Spider-man 2 release if you preordered i.

yeah, McF did them for Shrek.........
never saw them, though-

I just gotta say-
that I find it soooooo god damn funny that when the whole NECA vs. McF thing was going on,
Steve & co. would poke fun at NECA using the shot glass, bobble head thing......

well, it's like i said over at pegwarmers... i think it's just a case of McToys doing everything they can to evolve with a market that started with little to no competition, and suddenly opened up under them.

I was kidding with the neca line, and tbh, i'll probably end up picking up the wallace and gromit plushes to, i can't resist anything to do with those little buggers. Suprised to see that it's coming out of McF though, as i was with the simpsons. Looks like they're trying to head in a relatively new direction. Hope they're on par with the shrek stuff.
