Hello all ! I am interesting in complete my Trobbit collection. But unfortunatelly Lulu Berlu's exclusive Burble is sold out now. I contact the French store and the seller said it's possible to release more figures since a lot of fans show interesting. Anyway, does anyone here has an extra Burble to sell to me ? Tnaks a lot. Best rgards for all !!!

Alas, I am in the same boat as you Monteeg and don't have any Burble figures Hope you have luck finding one - keep your eyes peeled, you never know. Have you tried asking over at the heman.or forums or at the Action Figure Archive forums? EDIT: Ironically enough, the Blackstar thread over at the Action Figure Archives forum had someone ask about Burble somewhat recently (as well a posting of a scan of a pretty neat looking advertisement for Blackstar/Infaceables)

Looking at the .org thread you created and TIRPITZ's response, I guess one avenue would be to try and raise Burble's profile around the internet, get some interest going for a Burble re-issue. Other than that, keep your eyes peeled and your fingers crossed. If I come across anything I will let you know

Thanks fot the words, blackstar76 ! Both Atlas and Burble are figures that I really wanted...but you have to keep in mind Burble is only a custom; a pretty good one but an ordinary custom ! I was thinking about Burble...it's possible Galoob held his release because he would be the exclusive figure of the next playset: Sagar Tree !!! I am not a Blackstar completist collector (like I am in MOTU case) so, I still need the complete/mint villains from first wave (Overlord, Kadray and Neptul) and Vizir... My next target will be the Wind Machine MIB. But I think the Greek vehicles and Ice Castle are pretty cool !!! Here the auction I won: cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321204133822&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:US:3160

Yes, I saw that auction on ebay france but the guy wouldn't accept payment by paypal, so I didn't want to take any risks. But it seems you got the figure after all! The same guy was selling a motuised blackstar figure and a green warlock.

The same guy was selling a motuised blackstar figure and a green warlock. He said he didn't accept payment by PayPal but I contact him and eventually, he asked me EUR 5,00 more to use this method ! I accept his offer and Burble is here...so, I paid him by PayPal... Yes, I remember he listed a Blackstar custom using vintage He-Man and many other Blackstar itens...I think he had the full set of Trobbits as well...

No, it's just in my mind ! ;D
But it's pretty logical since Burble was the only Trobbit missed and Sagar Tree was the main location of our heroes...Sagar Tree was in virtually all episodes ! Remember that in US Wind Machine, we have 2 Trobbits included.
In my opinion, Gallob should had concentrate it's eyes in Filmation characters, specially in 3rd Wave...where's Burble ? Where's Crios ? Where's Katana ? Where's Amber ?
Anyway, it seens the Lulu Berlu stock is now on eBay...some wonderful (and expensive) itens were listed, including Wind Machine, Ice Castle and Burble !!!

Well, I think Crios is the white knight my friend! Except form the helmet, they got exactly the same body type! Check it out!

I compared both and it seens WK resembles Crios but I really can't say they share the exactly same body type... Have you ever heard any information about that ? It would be great if someone get the WK body and add a custom Crios head.... ;D

No action figure is exactly the same as its counterpart in the cartoon my friend. Even John Blackastar's action figure! (Remember, blackstar's figure has blue eyes, but we all know that's not correct!!). So, I think Galoob had Crios in mind, when they made the white knight... A member of this forum, who was also a member in the org, had once made a Crios custom figure, and posted a photo in the org, some years ago. I don't remember who he was...

Galoob made a wonderful job in some characters, like Mara, Overlord, Klone, Vizir, Kadray, Neptul and even Warlok and the Trobbits...all those action figures resembles their counterpart in the cartoon...so, I think if they were Crios in mind, they would release him anyway. In my opinion, the White Knight is a Galoob creation only. Not Crios.
I agree John's head (the only human head of the series) is so far from his cartoon one.
I'd like to see Crios custom...he is one of the best characters of the series !
Galoob released Blackstar toyline a few years after the cartoon was cancelled, to take advantage of Mattel MOTU big hit.... So, the worst thing Galoob did was bring the variants (Laser Light) of almost all Wave 1 action figures in Wave 2 (IMO).... I can imagine John and Overlord variants (like He-Man and Skeletor) but it was unnecessary re-release Kadray, Neptul, Gargo, Palace Guard, Tongo, etc) in wave 2...
We all know there were only 13 episodes...so, a lack of characters (specially when you compare it to MOTU). But some characters were needed like Crios, Katana, Amber, Typhot and Shaldemar...Instead, Galoob choose the Laser variants, Meuton, a lot of demons repainted and other three awful demons in wave 3...
