      A villains box could be cool - Master, Jaxom, Pearl, Lily. (The GBs are all either too big or too obscure, methinks.)

      I have to get these. Ironically I was cleaning, and I found my Alpha Flight collection of - not even sure what they're called - they look like Weeble Woobles.

      What's a Weeble Wooble? Because the minimates are the only official Alpha Flight toys I know of that look as cute as they sound, so it sounds like you've already got them; but there are pictures at the beginning of this page, so you should know if you have them, so now I'm worried I'm missing something!

      They are mighty beanz. As for weeble wobbles, they were around in the '70's-'80's (and as with all things made a bit of a comeback about 5 or so years ago). Their catch phrase was "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down ( due to the fact they were egg shaped and bottom weighted.

      Those are pretty cute. There are Alpha Flight ones? Who? Northstar and Aurora, I'm guessing. Maybe Sasquatch; Guardian. Puck?
      I didn't see any on the ToyWiz page.

      Yeah, there were AF ones in Series 2 from 2004(?). They never made it to this side of the world so I never got any (I'd imagine the same stands for Aus) and whenever I see them on eBay the postage is huge for some reason...

      The link was just the first one I could find on my phone to check they were what Tawmis meant.

      There's a checklist here but I can't find any images currently, without trawling through ebay.

      EDIT: It's a slow morning:

      Yes, I will take a photo tonight when I get home from work. Can't recall if I have all of the Alpha Flight ones, but I believe I do.

      I'll put them in a new thread when I do, so I don't side track this one more than I have (and maybe a moderator can split these posts into that thread when I do).

      I need to get these mini figs that this thread mentions, however. Those I don't have.

      Hi everyone, I never heard of these Beanz before until seeing this post, but they are all over eBay. I was actually able to buy the 5 AF characters for under $20 shipped from whosdamaster on eBay if anyone was interested. His prices are pretty good and he combined shipping. Anyway, something new for the AF collection.

      Thanks, DarkEyes. Good to know.
      Hmm... Is that the same person Phil got some of his pics from?
