A rumor I need to confirm
 

Is it true that a second Baxter Stockman is being produced? I heard is in his human form.

Can someone please confirm me if this is true? :(

Cause I really want one,I don't like the current one.

The only Baxter model that Playmates has confirmed is that ugly hippie-robot-head only version (There is a picture of that one somewhere in the news section). But no real human one, unfortunately

Here it is

Its a link because looking at it just makes me wonder what they were on when they thought up this thing

Oh maaaan!!!! :cry: :cry: I was hoping this to be true.

I hate this figure ,I don't even understand it. :lol:

Thanks for confirming.

playmates has said they plan to make a normal baxter at some point down the line. so don't worry to much I also don't see this line ending any time soon.
perhaps they will make a special baxter box with all the differnt baxters..that'd be nice but it's just wishfull thinking.

So there's still hope :D You made my day man!!!! :)

That idea of yours of the box is pretty cool,if they made that i'll be all over it. :P

Yes this hippie chase variant of Baxter will come with a tie dye shirt,a joint and a bag of lays chips

Plus a Smurf for a side kick

That's the first time I've seen Baxter's figure :o

Doesn't look anything like Spider Baxter, looks interesting through...

I wonder why they changed him so much. :roll:
What do you think playmates was thinking when they were sculpting the figure? :dead:

I think they were braindead.

Two words: "play value". Basically, the company thinks a crazy mish-mash of robot arms, guns, and pointy things has more play value for the kiddies than a guy in a labcoat.

Personally, I always liked my toys to look as much like the characters on the show as possible when I was a kid. The incorrect costumes and random bugs and snakes and such sculpted on the old toys really bugged me. Either I was just an odd kid, or Playmates is maybe making a flawed assumption about their audience. ;)

I'm not too impressed by the Baxter figure, anyway. I'd buy a regular labcoat Baxter in a heartbeat, but I have no desire whatsoever to own the one they're putting out.

I'd definitely pick up something like that. Basically, a few different bodies (human body, hoverchair, big mech suit, spider) and a couple different heads to put on/in each of them. It'd make a nice boxed set, for sure, and I think would be a much more popular choice for the kids than the "Leo vs. T-Rex" set. However, it'd also be a lot more expensive to produce, being made up of all-new sculpts. I can see something like this being made eventually, but at the same time, I'm not holding my breath for it to happen any time soon.

At the very least, I'd like to see a regular labcoat Baxter released before too long.

You know ..I hated that too, as a kid I hated when the toy didn't resemble the cartoon version. And that happened alot back then. I know the toon has to be less detailed but sometime adding too much stuff in a figure can turn it lame (not alway though). :wink:
