Why won't they make L'Histoire de Rayman and the Rayman 3 Artbook in English??? I don't have time to learn French!
Jokes aside, I do wish they'd make an English reprint of L'Histoire de Rayman and its collector's edition artworks. I'm still dying to see those exclusive Legends concepts...

I remember the English translation of the book was teased here but it never materialized. I guess the original didn't sell well enough.
I do remember buying the original on Amazon and it took them months to get it to me. So people here were reading it and posting about the stuff they were finding in it, and I still had no idea where mine even was Was worth the wait in the end though

Motormike was here a couple days ago, that's your occasion to ask for it!
Seriously though, I don't know how well the book sold, but I imagine an English version would have sold more, given the wider audience.
One of my recent Rayman related merchandise was a free Rayman 2 magnet that came with my Rayman Activity Center. They seem to also come with the Rayman Learning Center volumes as well, since the same one came in the box of Volume 2 that Hunch had mailed to me when he had me scan the manual for him.
Here's a picture of mine I got with my package:
Reese Riverson's free Rayman 2 magnet with Rayman Activity Center!
I've since scanned it, uploaded and documented it on RayWiki. Links above.
That's a cool magnet! I only ever found jewel-case copies of the Activity Center online, and none of them had the magnet! Congratulations.
P.S. I have the Origins magnet from the Russian PC Collector's Edition.
Yeah, those boxed versions are quite hard to come by. I only found one for Rayman Learning Center - Ages 7-8, but nothing for Ages 6-7 and Ages 8-9. In fact, I haven't even found a jewel-case copy of the former.
I agree that animation is a medium, not genre, but whenever I see somebody using that term it's accompanied by a screencap from The Super Mario Bros. Movie or something. Sorry to say, but The Super Mario Bros. Movie is not peak arthouse cinema
Youtooz has revealed the Globox plushie and the Rayman & Seabreather figurine! They are both set to be available starting September 30th, but the Globox plushie will only available be for 4 weeks, just like the Rayman one.
