More 4Kids Series Coming to DVD
 

Though some here don't care much for these shows, thought I'd spread the word for any who don't know (and might like them).

The new TMNT DVD (Season 2 Part 1) has a flyer advertising some of their DVDs, and at the bottom has a "Coming Soon" area listing Dinosaur King, Viva Pinata and Chaotic.

Well, that's cool for the fans of those shows. I'm sure they'll be happy. As for me, I just don't care one way or the other. I never got into any of those shows.

Well yeah, that's why I put the disclaimer in too.

Another reason I posted of this is, this is the first I had seen info of those series being planned for DVD. And I tend to check Amazon and DVD-News sites on a frequent basis.

Dino King apparently is a no brainer, since they're going to try to make that one work. Chaotic as well. I thought the merchandising ship has saled on Pinata, since they didn't even really try, and just had a BK kids meal promotion.

Anyway, there's a rumor they're looking at another release of Shaman King. I doubt it would be a rerelease of the uncuts that Funimation and 4Kids had a dispute over. But that would be something.

Sonic X has been collected into season sets now as well.

Shaman King! WOOT!! :sweatdro: I mean... A rumor's better than nothing. :embarass:

With Shaman king, I'd rather see some company sublicense a Japanese track only Subtitled edition. One that referes to him as "Chocolove" for crying out loud. Not saying I didn't like the dub, but I'd rather see anything in its original language with subtitles.

Where the hell is Winx Club season 3 at, 4kids?

Yeah, would be nice if they got to finishing the series on DVD! ... And, in the case of DVDs, Funimation is the one doing it.

Need I bring up Gargoyles season 2 again? And perhaps Animaniacs volume 4, if things don't turn out well...

Yeah, know well of those (as I too have the DVDs that have been released for both).
And, in Funimation's case (like that) have the short-lived Yu-Gi-Oh and Shaman King Uncut DVDs. As well as the likes of Ultimate Muscle and Kirby dubs.

Ultimate Muscle was a case of low sales. A second volume was planned, but never went anywhere. Which depressed the hell out of me, since the second volume had the fight with Dialbolic, my favorite in the series. However, with the Yugioh and Shaman King ones, it got tricky. There was a dispute between Funi and 4K over the profits. 2 Shaman King volumes were widely release, 2 more had a small run, and the fifth volume never made it to print.

I'd love to see Shaman King come back to DVD as well as the rest of Winx Club. Actually, they never finished all of season 1 either. Granted, I only have two DVDs of Winx Club, Bloom's Secret Past and Stolen Dragonfire, which was the last DVD I saw. They need to finish that off and bring in Season 2 and 3.

Seasons 1 and 2 of Winx Club are out on DVD. It's just Season 3 that has yet to be released.
Season 1 has 5 single-disc releases, while Season 2 is two 2-disc releases.

Anyone know if 'Kirby Right Back at Ya!' will get released in its entirety?

Theres 3 volumes on amazon and the series finale in movie form but thats it...or is that the whole series?...
I forgot how many seasons it had,wasnt it 4?

No. Never will be, never ever. Because 4kids screwed up marketting for the cartoon series, leading to many merchandising projects going undone, Nintendo and 4kids aren't really happy with each other at the moment.

^ Strangely, the old Kirby DVDs are apparently seeing re-release. As I happened to see one listed on Amazon while checking the upcoming DVDs by date listings. With it scheduled to come out again May 20th.

How did 4Kids screw up marketing?...I remember that at one point Kirby was canceled and then came back one day for awhile til they finished the series.

Well I guess whatever is on Amazon is all we'll get...3 volumes and the series finale movie,not bad.

It's a looooong story. Nintendo just was angry that it wasn't as big as it would have, could have, and should have been. They even went so far as saying it would be their next Pokemon. which sucks, if you ask me. I just want a King DeeDeeDee action figure. I have to get expensive stuff from Japan. But that's neither here nor there. it would be great to see them collected in season sets or something, similar to TMNT.

Season 1 and 2 were released in full actually. Season 1 was 5 DVDs and Season 2 was done in two Two Disc sets.

Oh...well I really enjoyed "Kirby Right Back at Ya!"...I dont see how it could have been the next "Pokemon" but I thought it was a fun and funny series.

I know what you mean about having to buy expensive import toys,I use www.animemate.com they have a superb collection of rare game and cartoon items,I bought a Metal Sonic from them a few years back...it cost me $280 dollars but it was worth it to me.But not everything is expensive...they had a King DDD plush I was gona buy and it was only $38 dollars,but its not in stock at the moment but they always restock stuff eventually... I wonder where they get thier items,my Metal Sonic is from 1994and only released in Japan for "Sonic the Fighters".

I want an Escargoon figure...the snail guy that was partner to King DeeDeeDee

Hmm... is there an echo in here? :lol:

Sorry, didn't see your post. I saw hers and just responded.

Form a press release I read (though I can't trust it 100%, since it was on Wackopedia), they were touting Kirby as their next Pikachu. Personally, I liked Kirby much, much better anyway.

Closest thing they had released in the US is some sort of plastic Standees (thin game piece style plastic bits with a sticker of DDD and Escargoon) that was released along side a Kirby rolling figure in a Wendy's Kid's meal.

There is a blind box candy/figurine set I've seen that has a small DDD "Mascot" figurine. I haven't seen them too much, and I only got 2.

As it was, Bandai pretty much sent all the Ultimate Muscle toys to Canada, and I had to buy the remaining sets off of someone. The cartoon was good, I liked it... but the toys were what really excited me.

Oh wow,I didnt know Wendy's featured Kirby once in thier kids meals.Ya the US didnt really get any Kirby stuff.I have a jumbo Kirby plush but I bought it online from www.toywiz.com and he still in stock,this is not an import store its based in the US but they do have things from Japan...well basicly everything you cant find in stores,which seems to be the problem with most video game merchandise.All my video game memorbilia is from online specialty stores.

Jon, thanks for that info. I didn't see that at all. Are these Winx DVDs in stores? Because if so, I'd love to get them. Yes, they should bring season 3 out because it's my favorite.

I got all the Winx DVDs I have at FYE actually. If you have one in your town, give them a try.

As GK says, try FYE. I found some of them there too, as well as a few at Best Buy. But haven't seen any at Best Buy for a while, and last time was at an FYE (a few days ago) saw 2 of the Season 1 DVDs.

Hmm. I'll have to try that if I get time. I doubt they'd have them at Wal-Mart, which is where I usually get the DVDs I want.
