Anybody know if this film has any toys to tie into it, I mean it's $250 million dollar Disney film set on Mars with monsters and aliens, seems like there would be some toys to go with this. My Tars Tarkas bendy (from Tarzan) is just not enough.

I don't care how bad the movie is, I would totally buy any monsters and aliens they made.
Of course, I was HIGHLY disappointed because they didn't make any from the new lame Clash of the Titans. No new Kraken? FAIL. -
I think company's are very apprehensive about making action figures based on movies these days. (Tron, Avatar, the "other" Avatar: Last Air Bender) all seemed to make their way to the discounted racks fairly swiftly.
It seems even a blockbuster movie isn't enough these days, they have to have a whole culture built around it.
The figures that seem to sell well at Walmart and toys R Us seem to have that. I'm thinking Spider-Man, Batman, Iron-Man, Star Wars (of course). They're also supported by video games, straight to video DVD movies and cartoons, t-shirts, PJ's, Bikes, Skateboards etc. There has to be more to market than just the movie and action figures? I dunno, would really like to hear from somebody with current toy company/marketing knowledge.Comment

I haven't seen any officially licensed Disney product, but Triad Toys has done John Carter and Dejah Thoris (I'm assuming as public domain figures).

This will probably be another missed opportunity. Theres a total lack of cool fantasy figures on the shelves these days a far cry from the eighties when the first Conan inspired all kinds of fantasy toy lines.Comment

Yeah, it's kind of a bummer. No Wrath of the Titans toys either. On the upside there will be Hobbit action figures this fall.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

There were John Carter figures about 10 years or so ago in Trendmasters Tarzan the Epic Adventures Line. I have a pretty cool Tars Tarkas 6" figure from it. I think they show up pretty often cheap at the flea markets.Comment
