Nanco Fraggle Dolls

[freggel]

Hello,
i have seen some new BIG Fraggle Rock Dolls from Nanco.
They realize Wembley, Gobo and Red. And now I have heared
that Nanco brings out a Uncle Matt Doll.
Has anybody see him or sell him?

Where do you buy them? And what is Nanco? Do you have some photos of them?

I'm not entirely sure if these are new... but here are some pictures I found with a quick Google search.

I think there new. Spocket is too blue, they should re-do him.

They're old. I'm saying by a few years old. Well the fraggles and the Doozers are. But Uncle Matt and Sprocket are new to me.

Nanco makes dolls for carnivals and claw machines.

I've spotted them at 6 Flags New England 2 years ago.

I saw a Miss.piggy in a claw machine in Wall-mart. It may have been made by Nanco.

Nanco Bites!

I ordered a Wembley Sababa doll online and received a Nanco (bait-and-switch) so be careful when ordering Fraggle toys from Amazon sellers.

The Nanco ones are U-G-L-Y. I had to put that in all caps because the Sababa ones are just so beautiful and cuddly. Trust me on this, the Nanco ones pictured don't look that spectacular online, but look dreadful in person. Skip-em. I can maybe understand getting a Matt or Sprocket because none was made by Sababa, but keep in mind they are the company that brought us these beauties!

There are a couple acceptable Nanco dolls here and there, but they are few and far between. Pretty much these toys are a hack product from a hack company in this frogboy's opinion. We are no longer living in a Muppety drought. There's no need to accept these licensed knock-offs of better made products.

I completely agree. Stick to Sababa. Their Wembley is one of my all-time favorite pieces of merchandise I have. It's just so... Awesome. Much better than those ugly ones from Nanco. Sprocket is the only one there that looks even remotely good.

Oooh! I do like the Sprocket!

That's one character I'd love to have. Maybe Henson will want to make some Fraggle Master Replicas, and I'll get me a real Sprocket...

I whould like a Fraggle Replica, good idea.
