Need help finding a toy

[TechSmith]

My son just wrote a letter to santa asking for Dungeon Keeper figures. It was very cute. Now comes the hard part, finding the dang thing. That I know of only one type DK figure was ever made. It was the Horned Reaper. I've been googling and checking Ebay all day with no luck. I even emailed Daz since he worked on DK2. He's looking also.

If anyone out there knows where I can find some DK/DK2 figures please speak up. It would make a little boy very happy on Christmas morning.

Unfortunately it's not what I'm loooking for.
Here's the only pic I can find of it PIC (http://www.toymania.com/news/messages/256.shtml)

Dungeon Keep was a fun little game made by Bullfrog. My son and I love it. here's the DK/DK2 website (http://dk2.ea-europe.com/)

Thanks anyway Mishra

I found that after a rather lengthy Googling... but alas the EA Online Store does not seem to stock the figure any more.
I think a chain of stores over here in the UK called "Forbidden Planet" used to have the figure, but I don't know for sure.
Ebay sounds like the best bet, they're probably out of production now from the looks of things /images/graemlins/blush.gif

[edit] rofl, now I look like a dumbass because you found the same thing before I did, and I posted this without refreshing the thread, so ... heh /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Mishra]

FYI, don't google for dungeon keeper horny toy

all sorts of weird bondage and s&m sites come up.

[TechSmith]

Well I'm going to keep looking. I'm checking forbiden planets site. Maybe they have some old stock sitting around.

Mishra LOL, you should have known!

[Daz]

Ahah I made the grafx for that website Dave. I had no idea it was still up. That pic of the model is Im pretty sure the exact same one I have in a pile of stuff somewhere. But I'll ask around tommorow.

Have you tried the 'contact us' section of the EA co. store?

[TechSmith]

Nope, haven't tried the contact us option yet. Call me odd, I usually do an extensive search first. I'll give that a shot on monday if I can't find anything today.

Thanks Daz /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[TechSmith]

Well the "contact us " option is so far a flop. I asked about where to puchase the Horned Reaper figure and even included a link to what the product was. Unfortunately they didn't seem to understand that I wasn't looking for a game.

This is thier reply

BLARG! /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Check your local comic book stores or Toys R Us. A lot of times they will have those figures laying around and have them marked way down to get rid of them.

[KDR_11k]

That email is probably from an autoresponder. Try sending another mail, maybe that won't trigger it again.

[TechSmith]

Already sending another message.

[mrrogers]

Here is a link to the original sculptor's website. http://www.darkart.de/index.htm

The figure was originally only available in Germany and some other European stores. Anyway, there is a link on his site, maybe you could ask him directly where to find a figure.

Hope it helps!

EEK! ok, so he sculpted an 88 inch version of the character and only 1000 pieces were made. So uh...yeah. Looks like I didnt find the toy...

[MoP]

lol, now THAT would be a Christmas present and a half!

[Daz]

That is some pretty damn impressive detective work mrrogers! I remember this model http://www.darkart.de/images/sculptures/hornedreaper1.JPG 'cos he sent it to Bullfrog and its probably still there somewhere. As for the life size one I seem to recall EA Germany commisioned it for point of sale marketing stuff.
A life size one would be cool! Theres more pics here as it seems to have been a collaborative project: http://www.studiooxmox.com/ But alas you're right it's not the toy.
Dave: Im not back to work til wednesday so havemnt had a chance to do any hunting.

[Daz]

Now, a lifesize suit: that's what you really need /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Btw, as I look back, it cracks me up that there were 6 of us! ( the AD in shorts doesn't count. He didn't do any real work ;-p ). Now I work on Art teams that are about 30 or 40+ strong!!!

[TechSmith]

Woot!! I want the Mistress for christamas /images/graemlins/wink.gif She's a hottie!

http://home.comcast.net/~dpattenden/images/DK2Art_team.jpg


Well Daz, If you find the Horny figure just email me, since i can't find it online anywhere.

[Malekyth]

In the cinematics, I found the mistress to be so hot as to be unnerving. Hadda remind myself, "she's a fuckin' cartoon!"

"... and put that thing away!"

[RickA]

According to a friend of mine, http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/ that site has massive amounts of figures. However, no search function /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[TechSmith]

WOOT! It looks like Daz found one for me (Horned Reaper not Mistress)!

I can't wait till Davey opens this one! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[eXpendabLe]

I need a toy for my son too.. a plush Sonic Chao! the damn things are selling on ebay for over $50.00!! BLEH!

Help meh

[TechSmith]

I've been looking all morning for the plush toy and the only thing I can find is the Ebay auctions. You might try contacting SEGA, but I had terrible luck with EA when I did that. I'll keep an eye open for one.
