Medicom peanuts figures discuss...

Linus really ought to have his blanket. I could give a crap about Peanuts, but they are beloved and have a lot of merchandise, so I suppose I would rather it come from a company like Medicom that has good QC than some thoughtless maker of junk. I just wonder who will buy them, as I don't know of anyone who like Peanuts in particular, let alone in the expensive import toy buying community. Is there a Peanuts following in Japan?

Peanuts is extremely popular here, my train station had a peanuts cafe until they tore down the whole building to remodel. And there was the huge Snoopy store in front of Harajuku station for years.

^^^ Thanks for the info, I had no idea.

Now it's in Kiddyland

Also thats Schroder not Linus

Oh yeah, yellow hair... Linus usually wears the red shirt though. Well in that case, Schroder really ought to have his piano.

+1!

I remember seeing that place 10 years ago and being amazed that there was a giant peanuts themed store! Sucks to hear its gone.

Aw man....Harajuku Snoopytown is gone? That bums me out.

Yah, Snoopytown is like on the 4th or 5th floor of Kiddyland....its still pretty cool to have the entire floor devoted to Snoopy and friends

Kiddyland was one of my favorite stores. Just pure chaos with crowds!

I love these toys btw. How can you not?

How long ago was snoopyland there?
Kiddyland was amazing, I was there at christmas time a few years ago.
Picked up all kinds of random crazy things.
I agree the peanuts toys are great, I now I won't spend US medicom prices to get them though.

I think its great that they picked Schroeder over Charlie Brown or more obvious choices.

I like these and the what they evoke.
Snoopy looks blissed out.

They already made a Charlie Brown.

But this adorable Snoopy takes the cake.

My wife designed one of the ties they sold at Snoopyland in Harajuku. Too bad I never wear ties (it's sitting in a drawer).

I hate Peanuts

That's the Dark Horse one, right? I remember seeing those sets earlier in the year, but they never came out. I'd love to get my hands on those and this Snoopy. Love me some Peanuts (the comic, I'm allergic to the food).

No I think it's Medicom. Looks like the 4.5" version is up for pre-order now at Sideshow.

these are rad..but i bet for the price of a few of these you could build a giant collection of the ones Playing Mantis made..and the quality of the ones they make are nice..easy to find in cvs or ant local drug store usually

There are so many Peanuts figures already out there it's mind boggling. It is cool though, that they made an old school Snoopy.

i would have been into these if they were the very early dopey
looking versions of the characters..

honestly the sculpts on those cheapo ones put out stateside a
few years back at drugstores & target are more on par.

i read about medicom doing peanuts awhile back and got excited
but for me these are a let real down.

maybe they will do those old school ones yet.

the vintage 'nuts figures rock!

I personally love these and think the compliment vintage ones well.
Also distracted by medicom prices though.
