cool? not much to say about this, I guess. If they're cool enough, I might get some because i do love some zatch bell.. or gash bell.. or whateva it is. But they'll prolly be like cheap little plastic things. Oh well, still cool.

I want a real Volcan 300 =D

Anyway, a while ago I came up with a theory that Zatch Bell! and One Piece are connected in the US (like their manga came out better than their anime, the games were released by Bandai, etc.), now OP and Zatch toys are being released by the same guys.

...interesting.

Actually it's Viz that's late, the press release is dated November first. You can see some pics of the figures (along with Mattel's One Piece figures) here.

Not really. This isn't the first time Viz and Mattel have worked on the same properties, they've also both worked Yugioh, Shaman King, and Megaman NT, now One Piece and Zatch Bell, and quite possibly Naruto will be done by Mattel as well.(/edit)

An admin reviving a somewhat dead topic to make a pointless post?

Barely ten days old is not "dead." Now were it ten weeks old, there'd be a problem. But as it is this is still relatively fresh news.

10 days =/= 3 days.

You know maybe I wouldn't care about the bump if it was at least something relevant.

I know I'm late replying to this but I would have figured that they would have merchandised these toys at some point during the show's run here. I mean that is how you sell a show to get more popularity.

Actually, I wonder how popular the show is doing on 'CN' or with children in general. It's popular in Japan. Confused

From what I understand, it's one of the higher-rated shows on CN, meaning it's almost half as popular as the stuff on Nickelodeon.

That's good to know. It seems like it's getting a pretty good fan following here. Maybe not as large as DBZ was but good enough. I watch the show myself and I find it somewhat entertaining. It's my "guilty pleasure". Razz

But I'm curious to see how they market the toys here.

It's the third highest rated show on Toonami. One Piece is second and Naruto is first.
