The article has no sources, seems like an advertisement. sicaruma (talk) 19:21, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article is written like an advertisement and is WP:CRUFT. This is the farthest thing from encyclopedic I've seen in a while. Tavix (talk) 19:43, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Looks pretty bad, but be mindful that Star Wars PEZ looked bad as well. For things like star wars (where there is a LOT of merchandizing and the trademark and copyright holders can only police so much), some independent sourcing is likely to crop up.  Try the SW merch wiki to look for some guidance on sourcing and also try google books (Beware, MOST of those don't relate to the subject of the article but instead can be used to find books like The Official Price Guide to action figures (don't be fooled, official doesn't mean published by lucasfilm or hasbro in this case).  This article may or may not have sourcing to move beyond WP:DIRECTORY, but don't sell it short without looking first. Protonk (talk) 21:50, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The fact that a series of figures was issued does not seem worthy of its own article. The listing of every figure, etc. does not belong in an encyclopedia. Give a link to Hasbro or to a fan site. Steve Dufour (talk) 22:57, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable, and its simply cruft. I doubt even cleanup could help this one out. Perhaps it could be transwikied to a Star Wars wiki. RobJ1981 (talk) 05:07, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I'd cite WP:NOTCATALOG but this "article" is missing the price tags for it to be citeable. Still, I can't imagine for this to ever be an encyclopedic stand-alone article, there's nothing to merge, the title is not exactly a search term(?), therefore delete. – sgeureka t•c 11:03, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, Wikipedia is not a catalogue. Stifle (talk) 15:49, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Lacks any third-party sources/coverage indicating recognition by the press or other consumer response -- which is what differentiates this from Star Wars PEZ. --EEMIV (talk) 04:05, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
