Ive noticed we got 4088 signatures on the petition ^^ do you think if we got more and more signatures that would save DB? ;)

I don't think signing-in a e-petition will make some change.! Yet I signed one coz I'm ready to do anything and everything possible to get DB aired.

yesh iam also willing to do anything to save DB :dance:

if anyone's got some new ideas i'm open to suggestions. :mellow:

find someone to make dragon plushies *squees*

what are the chances that they are keeping it in the dark so that they could get an even larger audience. like a publicity stunt.[COLOR=blue] :plot:

Nah, it's not a publicity stunt. The people who make the show would have told us if more episodes had been ordered.

The best thing to do beyond getting everyone you know to sign the petition is to write letters to the networks.

I think Jetix had given up on dragon booster. Yet I persist posting my letters...!! I'm afraid that we may never see another dragon booster episode in our life...*Crying Loudly*

I think that there is still hope but its not going to be easy. If nothing else I think that the eppisodes that are allready written may get posted so in the worst case scenario we may just have to watch the eppisodes in our mind as we read them.
Just keep those letters going!

i tought we already exceded the amount of signatures needed

Don't give up yet, Rivit! Have faith! :flare: Even if the situation is unfavourable, don't give up on hope yet. As long as there's hope, there's a chance the show will return, one way or another.

And I'm not giving up yet either. As long as there's no news of the show being cancelled, I'll never lose my faith and belief. Not now, not ever! :gblast:

I'll believe till the end! :grip:

I don't know, i did question to myself how much a petition would do.
I remember John K writing an article (John Kricfalusi- created Ren and Stimpy) about cartoon executives and how they're a load of accountants who seem to all hate cartoons.
AND there was a recent article in an animator's mag from an executive, proudly proclaiming how little he had to do with the creaton of the toons, and how little he cared.

Basically toon executives on a whole wouldn't care if we committed mass suicide in protest, they care about profit. We can hope the Jetix team are different *pffft!* or harass the networks, as Furox suggested.

HARASS! HARASS! HARASS! MWAHAHAHA!!! Its not over untill the fat lady sings.

so what can we do, what about the letter

maybe someone can design "Save Dragon Booster" t-shirts or something. i will never give up, i am doing everything i can to help save DB.

"All is not Lost" :cookie:

So true dolphinless! :D We should like one that says
"Talk to the Claw"
or
"Dragon Booster Fan like it or beware" (a pic of a mad beau or somthing..)
or
"Is'nt it ovius I'm a Dragon Booster fan!"
and
"Realse the Fan!"
Sooo what do you think?
Also my Dad told me a while back that there's a company tha makes stuff that you desing like say I wanted a D.B. toy like Propheci I draw a full scale model of what I want like if his mouth moves feet,arms ect. plushies to mabe I'll have to ask him ^_^

that's a great idea. what is this company? when can we start? :dance:

A Dragon is for life...

Not shere what the name is I'm going offer there this weeckend
so I'll get all thenn info.... :D We should star a thread on desings for
toys so then we could send it to the company,but I'm not shere if we can
get them to make more of the same thin so all of us or vthe peeps who
want one can have one. I'm not the best drawer but I can picture the images in
my head what they would look like :D

ya, could you tell me the company once you get the info? we have to make a Beau plushie that goes without saying

Yup I shere will :D I can just see the Beau plushie now *Squees ^_^ *
But did you know we can also make toys of hour own dragons :D Yeah!
That's what I'm going to do ^_^

yes when i get back to my pottery classes and become more skilled I'll do all our dragons out of clay and colour them ^^ and display them then send them to all of you and when i get back on second life i'll to everyones dragons there too ^^ and find some fabrics with my gran and make a plushie Aquarius ^^

Sweet!! I used to rake pottery clases Im sorta kinda good XD
It's fun that's for shere ^_^

I shall start working on plushie plans! I'm really good at sewing, and I'll post any patterns that I make. ;)

Still, if we manage to convince the networks that Dragon Booster IS a profitable indorcement, then they may buy more episodes in order to make more money. If the network feels that it can't make money off of a show, then it gets cancelled when they don't buy more episodes. :faint:

I think that in addition to the 4000+ signatures, we ought to have logical arguments regarding how profitable Dragon Booster will be for the networks. :plot:

Plushies! Wow, I wonder how Beau would look like as a plushie, wow, even cuter than before!

it has been my dream to make or get a Beau plushie. I swear over the survival of dragon booster that i will create a Beau plushie, even if it...uhh, well you get he point :D

Ooo, my grandma has lots of fabrics at her house and me and my cousin make little stuffed dragons all the time! I've never made a Beau plushie before but that would be so cool if I could make them!! I'm not the best sewer, I'll admit, but I think plushies would really help. I love plushies and Beau would be so cute as a plushie! :wub:

Yeah, that make sense. We need profitible facts!! :eep:
I think the toys need to become more available. I have 4 but they were kindda hard to get.

http://z10.invisionfree.com/Dragon_Booster...?showtopic=1714

I have a topic for a country count. I'd like to encourage everybody to post there, because it adds data to my argument.

I'm making a list of what countries air DB and how many members on this board alone are from those countries.

It makes for a good argument to say that DB is one of the most international cartoons: it's in Asia, Australia, South America, North America and Europe! All 7 continents, bar Antarctica, which doesn't count. And, if it's been translated into as many languages as I think (Polish, English, Spanish, French) then it has to bring in some revenue! It takes money to translate an entire series and so many countries wouldn't do that if it wasn't a good show.

Not sure if I can psot. Jetix is blocked in Mexico in parts wher cablevision and sky are used

Yeah, cute enough that you're willing to hug it for the whole day! :wub:

Hopefully the plushie can endure those constant hugging and squeezing. :D

Get McFarlane to create a 'Dragon Booster' series :)


I just spent about 300$ to get a complete series 1-4 of his Dragons series. What I wouldn't give to get a Beau, Beau Legend, Tyrannis Pax or Abandonn figures. Not one of those articulated toys, but a real action figure :)

Um, I hate to be the one to step on your plans of convincing a network to continue investment in a cartoon by making plushies but...

It's a completely unfeasable, unworkable and random idea. They make toys of cartoons because the cartoon is popular and the toys will sell and add revenue. Do you have any idea how much money it takes to do a run of toys of any sort? They're not going to fork out that kind of dosh with the obvious lack of faith they have in Dragon Boosters marketability. Merchandice toys makers aren't like authors or musicians. They don't send in samples of their works to prspective toy makers and hope they get accepted. They're like actors and illustrators, they have a good portfolio and get hired for a specific job.

And T-shirts won't do either, at best a few people would buy them and you'd make a bit of money, at worst you'd get sued for selling unauthorized merchandice. You'd be insane to try and give them away. I just did a T-Shirt exhibit at one of our State galleries, and I had to get 60 T-shirts printed for it. it cost me over a thousand dollars, and that was with discount.

Look, the best idea is petitioning and letter writing. A group letter would be great too, coherant arguments- not "It's great!" or "I wanna kno wt hppns 2 Artha!' but honest "I love this cartoon. It's such a unique style and I'm really amazed at how it can appeal to many people." sort of things.

what if we made a movie showing how much we want Dragon Booster to keep going, with maybe our own fan works ??

I dont know if merchandise is the best way to help save DB but I think if theres a way to send a message to Rob Travalino and ask for his oppinion for what we should do then we should do it.

maybe something like this ???

Ok I'm here at my Dad's I'm going to asked him here in a few.... :D

You're making the assumption the executives (if said video even makes it past their secretary) will even bother to take it home and pop it in their players. You're also assuming people who see hundreds of short videos a day as they pick and choose what gets funding and what gets cut, will be impressed by a fan made video.

Asking Rob is one of the best ideas I've heard yet, though.

what needs to be done is start a whole campain, gimp sig addons used in every forum we participate in, start writeing letters like crazy, etc. and we can try and get it so maybe they'll continue the series even if noone buys, by continuation through iTunes. mua HA HAH HA MUA.........ummm where was I?

Why do the crummy shows like... I don't want to put anyone down. but why? Why do good stows stop, and the lousy shows go on into eternity? :( :(

hmmmmm......... been wondering that myself.......


(i still want a beau plushie!!)
