Venture Bros. Three Inch Figures Need YOU

Venture Bros. Three Inch Figures Need YOU
... to preorder! According to this Venture Bros. 2012 Pre-Order Page on Entertainment Earth the figures are now in the hands of, you, the fans. Here's the skinny:

Your pre-order for these characters has never been more important! We need to hit a certain number of pre-orders before we can throw the switch for these figures to start production, and that's where you come in! Just pre-order the figures from this list or ask your favorite comic and toy shops to order the figures for their store. Your credit card will not be charged until the figures arrive in 2012-- provided we meet the order goal-- and then you'll be able to have been a part of Venture Industries history!

These figures sport 10 points of articulation and unlike our retro action figures, are 100% original and new sculpts. The factories require a large commitment, and that's why we wanted to let you know that your pre-orders are so important to making this line a reality.

These figures will not be produced unless pre-orders meet our targets. If you want Brock Samson, Phantom Limb, or even Hank and Dean, show your support with a pre-order. No character is "safe," the shape of the line is entirely within your hands!

All orders must be placed by October 31, 2011. At this time we'll tally our orders and we will make an announcement on how the line will proceed by November 30, 2011.

Right now the little graphic on the page shows only a sad 3% of the required preorders have been attained, so if you want to see these figures and want to help out you should pre-order them like crazy. Individual figures are $9.99 each and a set of five figures is $49.99. You can make a difference! Thanks to Seth Longmire for sending along this news.

Update (8:30pm): Changed the link on Entertainment Earth to a better, linkable one that they posted on their Twitter.

Jeez, Oct 31? I...don't see this panning out well, sadly. What's with the deadline? If people pre-order them, why should it matter whether they do it by the end of October, or, say, the middle of next year? As long as the goal is reached...

Oh well. I'll do my part, but I'm less optimistic. :(

Yeah, I don't much care for this "now or never" ultimatum. At least give us until sometime in Spring 2012. In case they didn't notice, the economy kinda sucks right now and the stock market just went down today faster than a pair of Rusty's swim trunks at a sixteenth birthday party.

Wow, it's skyrocketed to a whopping 7%. I placed my order, so 7.01% now. I just don't have a good feeling about this with such a short deadline. To quote a character from the old Gulliver's Travels cartoon, "We're not gonna make it!"

I may as well pre order these even though I'm confused about them since everything is subject to change.

I have a gut feeling these will not be getting made, also I just doubt it very much if were only at 3% and given the short time frame..

It makes me a sad brisby land panda.

First off, I support Vbros whenever possible, but I'm not a child and toys just dont do it for me like they used to. Nothing wrong with toys in general, but i'll "venture" out and proclaim that the bulk of Vbros fans are not G. Viceroy.

A person yelling over to me wearing a 24 RIP shirt at the sight of my Rusty's Day camp shirt is a priceless moment and will be remembered forever. However, a doll on my desk at work will only fuel rumors of my sanity by my co-workers and serve as a dust collecting device in my house.....

Not so much if it a Dr. Mrs The Monarch figurine. Then again that might cause a "hostile environment" complaint..

I didn't see any note about this on Adult Swim's site, but someone should try and contact AV Club and io9 to tip them about the story and drum up more support. Both sites tend to be very good to the Venture clan.

First footage! Title revealed! https://youtu.be/eXJ5OM9RfV8 Synopsis and cast too! “In The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, a nationwide manhunt for Hank Venture leads to untold dangers and unexpected revelations, while the Monarch is literally out for Dr. Venture’s blood. An imposing evil from the past reemerges to wreak havoc on the Ventures, the Guild, and even the Monarch marriage—it will take friends and foes alike to restore the Ventures’ world to order… or end it once and for all.” The voice cast includes the returning James Urbaniak as Dr. Venture, Patrick Warburton as Brock Samson, Michael Sinterniklaas as Dean Venture, Chris McCulloch as Hank Venture, and The Venture Bros. co-creator Doc Hammer as Dr. Mrs. The Monarch. (Hammer and series co-creator Jackson Publick also wrote the script, and Publick directed.) Other voice cast members include Nina Arianda as Mantilla, Clancy Brown as Daisy and Red Death, John Hodgeman as Snoopy, Hal Lublin as Clayton, Jane Lynch as Bobbi St. Simone, Charles Parnell as Jefferson Twilight, Jay Pharoah as Nuno Blood, Steven Rattazzi as Dr. Orpheus, JK Simmons as Ben, and Dana Snyder as The Alchemist. A project of Titmouse, Adult Swim, and Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, all that radiant baboon heart blood will be gushing forth later this year.

Okay, Venturoos. Here's what ya get for the Extras, at least on the DVD version. I felt it was a little light, but that's just my opinion. Deleted Scenes (as always) - Some are B&W sketches with the dialog, others are animated with the dialog. Ghost in the Pro-Blem - An extended view of the distorted images of events from the Pro-BLEM's point of view. Maybe there are some clues hidden in it if you like frame-by-frame advancing. Maybe not. Sirena Goes Off... - Cristin Milioti ad-libbing way more dialog than the script calls for. Poor Rocco. Promo - Basically the season 7 promo. Maybe there's Easter Eggs to find. I haven't done any extensive searching yet. If anyone finds any feel free to post them here!
