Thanks to Jay's Doll Space I found out that new WP guys had been released. I wasn't expecting them in my area because for the last two years my BigLots had stopped selling them. I was happily surprised to find them in stock!
Heck no, Ms. Leo. My coupon was for $5 off $15 so I only got one. I have another coupon so I'm going to a different BL to see if they have the Asian dude in Jaye's post.
Monstercrafts, as far as I know, they've been around for at least 10 years. I'm guessing they only release in the USA though. There are bunches on eBay but the prices are ridiculous.
I need some new faces before I buy any new ones. I have removed the boots and did a foot swap with another doll. I also find that boots work too. I also have been able to swpa some gloved hands with other guys I have.
Dollz4Moi, my stores rarely get them so they are all new faces to me. I know you can get parts from Monkey Depot but to this day I haven't ordered any. *lazy*
So happy you were able to find some in your area. I have most of the guys your posted, but this post reminded me how much I miss playing with them. I need to schedule some time with these guys. The one you purchased is one of the firemen in my town.
Thank you so much for the shout out, Muff! I'm glad you could find some guys in your store. I hope they keep changing their faces each year. New ladies in the house always means new gentlemen have to come in too. :-)
Grandmommy, so far only one of by BigLots has closed and of course, it was the one five minutes away from me. It has not been worth the drive for quite some time so I was super pleased to find these guys.
Congrats on your finds. Hope you find the Asian guy - he is cute. Good to see that M&C have continued the 12" line. Last I saw them, Big Lots had the smaller figures.
D7ana, they did still have a bunch of the smaller figures and lots of accessories for them. That guy with the parachute was new to me so I don't know if they've done him before.
Thanks to both you and Jaye for the heads up. Good lookin' out! I'd like to check out the selection while it's fresh. I have a new WP guy that I need to introduce on my blog. He is scrumptious - lol
Jewell, one thing I notice is that they don't get multiple copies of these guys. They send out one single sculpt per set. If you miss it you miss it so I rushed right out, lol.
Thanks for discussing these Muff. I realized that I have one of these and love that his articulation is even better than the one my Sideshow model has. The only drawback was that he had gloved hands and on the blog you linked to I saw that you can buy regular hands for those dolls! So happy about that.:-)
Maricha, they have the best articulation of any doll I have. I wouldn't mind if they came in different heights too, but that's probably asking for too much.
Presto, manly service men have to wear gloves I guess. Although, both my sister were military and I recall seeing photos of them wearing gloves when out in the field.
Aw they look so cool! All those accessories! I wish we had those near us!
I'm really curious as I'm thinking of starting a toy vlog, how do you find filming in stores to be? I've heard some people say they'll kick out people with cameras, but also seen a lot of "this is what my store has" videos going up lately.
Erin, I noticed that some toy vloggers do live commentary when they are in a store, which really calls attention to themselves and increases their chances of being kicked out. I just film and add any commentary in editing. In 4 years of collecting I have not once been asked to leave a store *knocks on wood* I do do weird things like rearrange the toys for a better shot, but I put them back. I also only shoot with my phone which isn't as obvious as a regular camera.
Great video as usual!! I need to get hands for mine. I have the one that you bought and a few of the others. He is super cute!! I especially love your Asian guy!!! I would have snatched him up.
So, did you get all of them? I hope you got at least two!
ReplyDeleteHeck no, Ms. Leo. My coupon was for $5 off $15 so I only got one. I have another coupon so I'm going to a different BL to see if they have the Asian dude in Jaye's post.
DeleteI want them all! I got 3 WPK, but after very loooooong time, it's difficult purchese them here
ReplyDeleteSergio, they just don't release them like they used to which sucks since they have such variety that you can't get with Mattel.
DeleteI never heard of this doll line! I like the fact that their faces are different and represent diversity.
ReplyDeleteMonstercrafts, as far as I know, they've been around for at least 10 years. I'm guessing they only release in the USA though. There are bunches on eBay but the prices are ridiculous.
DeleteWow, I have never heard of them either! What a bunch of hunks! ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL, Farrah Lily. They are quite the cutie patooties.

ReplyDeleteVanessa, a fireman, huh? I could see that. I usually leave the WPK as servicemen so that would work.
DeleteThank you so much for the shout out, Muff! I'm glad you could find some guys in your store. I hope they keep changing their faces each year. New ladies in the house always means new gentlemen have to come in too. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL, Jaye, these ladies be thirsty for fresh meat! Luckily WPK delivers.
DeleteI have a couple of them...unfortunately our Big Lots is no longer here so I would have to drive about 15-20 miles to get to one.
ReplyDeleteGrandmommy, so far only one of by BigLots has closed and of course, it was the one five minutes away from me. It has not been worth the drive for quite some time so I was super pleased to find these guys.
DeleteSą wspaniali! Jakie mają świetne umundurowanie i akcesoria! Nie widziałam u nas takich chłopaków!
ReplyDeleteDziękuję za pokazanie filmu.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie!
Cześć, Olla. Ich mundury i wyposażenie są świetne. Na tak małym kosztem robią cudowną pracę z artykulacji i szczegóły.

DeleteThat's a bummer that only one of them is without gloves! I love the accessories and face sculpts these guys get, though!

That makes sense, thank you so much!
DeleteHola, lo que me gusta de ellos es su parecido tan grande con los hombres reales, espero conseguir uno.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Muy cierto, Lindaivette. Ellos se ven como un medio real con diferentes características.
DeleteGreat video as usual!! I need to get hands for mine. I have the one that you bought and a few of the others. He is super cute!! I especially love your Asian guy!!! I would have snatched him up.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Georgia Girl! I guess my Asian guy is retired now but I sure don't mind his replacement.
