New Fraggle Dolls coming from Sababa in 2004

i went to a newbury comics in new hampshire yesterday, and i saw Red and Gobo plushies.

too bad i didn't have enougth money for them [they were about 12 dollars each i think.]

MaroonedOnMars,

Hey,
Can you explain more detail please?


thanks

if you meant me, i saw the fraggle rock dolls at a store called 'newbury comics'. they have music [records/cds], toys, clothes, posters and junk, and movies. They are in the United States; i think just in Rhode Island, Massachusettes, and New Hampshire... maybe Maine.

MaroonedOnMars,

Yup, I was asking you


Can you explain in detail what the plushes looked like? Size? Materials?


Thanks

well, i didn't look at the label, but it was all made of come type of cloth i think. the hair was the same stuff they used for troll dolls i think.. they might have been about 8 inches tall.

i plan on going back this week to buy them; hopefully no one else will get to them first!

when i get them i will take pictures and describe them a little better

newbury comics has an online store, but you can only get gift certificates and special compilation cds there i think. maybe if you visit the website you can email them and inquire about it.

Can you pick me up a pair? I have tons of rare specials, TV appearances and shows to trade.

Were they new or old?

Nick

these were new dolls, and i only saw one of gobo and one of red.
hopefully they will receive more

Wow. That's awesome. What were their clothes like? Were they similar to the old Hasbro fraggles or the Tomy ones?

Say, and you can say no to this but, I'd highly appreciate it if you could pick me up a set... or at least a Gobo. I'd pay you twice as much as what you paid for them plus shipping. We don't have a Newbury Comics in Ohio. I did email them to ask if they'd do a mail order thing.

Anyway, I'd be ever so grateful if you could get me some but if you can't I'll understand. <

All this gave me another fraggle dream. I have these a lot, I'm either at a thrift store and find tons of fraggle dolls I'd never seen before ( usually beanies ) or, like last night, I find new ones in the store. Last night's was frustrating too because I saw this plush Boober ( who was sold in a window box ) but I only saw him in a reflection of something. When I went to find him, I couldn't. My dreams tend to taunt me like that. I have lots of dreams about not being able to hang on to new Star Wars figures and such.

Nick

haha yes, i ALWAYS have dreams about toys and things that i will never find in real life.

also, i'll try my best to get another doll. i need to get my paycheck first

Are you sure these were the Sababa plush though.

Does this store also sell older collectible merchandise? I have a strong feeling these were the Hasbro or Tomy plushes that were out in the 80's.

You might go to the collectibles section of MC to see if they look like the plushes pictured there. That will at least let us know if they are the new Sababa plushes, or the older 80's sets.

Thanks!

Hee hee. We should put our heads together and share dreams.


Nick

no, i don't know what brand they were. i didn't look at the tag because i am an idiot..

hopefully they will still be there when i go back

Does anyone have photos of them yet. I have not checked to see if the Newbury Comics in Boston and Cambridge have them yet.

Thanks

Guys I really don't think these are the new plush. In fact I can promise you they aren't.

They aren't scheduled to be released until 2004. There is no way these are out yet. Its all in the press release in the first post.

They were without a doubt the Hasbro or Tyco dolls. It's nothing for a comic or collectible shop to carry older product from the secondary market.

yea, i have no idea either, but they sure looked pretty new [maybe not new as in a new design.. but definately clean with tags and not preowned].

newbury comics generally only carries new products, with the exception of some used cds and some used movies.

Firstly, they WERE Sabba Plushes!!! I only saw Gobo (and didn't have money for him) and the tag, lo and behold said "Sabba Toys" I was surprised they came out that fast. Hope they get in Wembly and Boober...\

Second, they carry OLD trading cards as well... Some of the Massachusettes stores have Dark Crystal trading cards!!!
