Hey look, GoGos are back. They seem to be produced from one of the companies that handled the American distribution of them, Magic Box
The original producers were Panini. Forgot to add that. Kinda looking forward to collecting these.

The relaunch of Gogo's seemed to be thriving for a minute but then it just kidna vanished, I guess those are done?
>>5493789
Things come and go anon. All these molds have the same triangle thing as a base, kinda ruins it for me.
>>5493804
ehhh, idk how I feel about them. Where did you find this pic/anywhere I can find even more decent images like this? All I could find were tiny stock images. Not really my thing but my girlfriend might dig them, she mostly dug the cuter designs of crazybones. I like the weird/trippy motherfuckers like the dude with the button eyes, the nuclear guy and the dude Titan form the tin.
>>5493840
also all those mushroom people, they were gr8. I'll have to take a pic of my collection some time.

Just watch the videos on youtube. Theres a lot of hispanic children playing with them, I'm assuming they were released in those countries first. one had a book so I guess theres a complete list of them out there but not what colors they come in. Maybe the gogo wiki might update it in a year after children combining their efforts to document what exists
>>5493856
Maybe if these sell well enough..they'll bring crazy bones back?...
>>5493862
who knoes =]
i want this guy. we can feel for these, right?
>>5493911
its very tricky and might not even be in the color you want
http://starmonsters.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Series_1
okay, found a list so far. it might get updated. I Don't know why I care about this so much
>>5493913
because i might get its evolution or is it also wrapped in a blister?
>>5493944
Theres a few 2 for a pound polybags near the Sainsbury where I live. Will post results when I have a few but I love collecting this kind of stuff so I don't mind what I end up with, its a brave new world.
I bought tons of Crazy Bones and those rubbery Zomlings and when this was announced I was pretty hyped. The concept of "Star Monsters" has enough vagueness to allow for lots of abstract creatures, or I dunno, maybe they could have referenced cryptids? That was what I was expecting, but it seems the designs are more on the cutesy aspect, not even as street as Crazy Bones, so they just seem lame. I mean, >>5493911 is just a dolphin for god's sake. And those bases. Ugh. I'll buy some more though because I'm such a faget.
okay. So I got these two. one looks like its molded with the base and the other might be very tightly glued on. good first control, it sets up what to expect; larger ones might be two parts and smaller ones one part
>>5495426
After snapping off I noticed a slight gap
>>5495434
and yea, its glued on. its very hollow after scraping out some plasic, I don't think the star base had a very tall port maybe to compesate for reuse with other molds that might need a smaller port connecting
>>5495437
so hea, I'm prettyhappy with this new line. The bottom being an open hole from ripping out the stand I don't really mind, looks a lot better with out it. gonna keep my eyes out for more.

pretty good listing. gonna buy a few and see if it works
Are these at any store? Or do I need to buy online? They're adorable.
>>5495777
They're at Sainsburys, they only have 1 £ for two; 2.5 £ that come with three and a bag to hold them; and those capsules that come with a few inside. Gonna check out other places and see what they offer later but today was pretty good. Got duped with only one in a bag but it came with the only I really wanted but sadly not in the right colors, make sure theres two in a bag when checking, the base makes it easily to know which side of the object is the bottom.

I was able to cut the stand off of Uma but the Shark might be one piece its very hard to tell. I see a very thin line in between the mold and the base, Uma doesnt have the legs attached to the base like >>5495426 here I posed yesterday so it was easy to tell. Might find another and cut that up but you never know, they all might be glued to a base.

I was able to cut the bottom off of the Shark. turns out it was one piece but I was able to modify it and smoooth out the bottom.

I was also able to get a few more, a gold one even!
![IMG_0430[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/H1Ein1h.jpg "IMG_0430[1].jpg")
>>5500528
This red one is more Whale shaped and wasn't cast in one piece like Shark here. As you can tell its missing a stand.

>>5500541
So yea, I'm pretty happy with these. I might take the stand off of the yellow one next. The gold one is staying in one piece.
