It's just a gladiator. It most likely won't be a GREAT gladiator that makes a huge difference in a match, but it's a nice touch for the people that spent hours badgehunting. Positron said last month that there was a special gift that was supposed to be tied to Toy Collector, but they ran out of time. This is it.
Bravo to the devs for designing these new ways to give out event rewards. Events are so much more fun when there's a costume piece and/or gladiator attached to them in addition to the badges.

How do you get the Handsome/Beautiful badge?
[/ QUOTE ]
There is a contact for each side (Ganymede for heroes and Scratch for villains). Both give two missions. The first can be done alone. The second requires at least one of the other type. Completion of that mission gives Handsome/Beautiful.

Correction: You need to do BOTH "Help me!" missions (Get the Girdle and Destroy the Cauldron) in order to get Handsome/Beautiful.

Charming. But Toy Collector is for opening 200 presents. You must be thinking of the holiday spirit badge.

Will Snowbeast also be fixed?

Yes. This is given to players who got the Toy Collector badge in December.

Whoot, I remember sending you a PM requesting a snowbeast gladiator in CoV Beta! So I'm retroactively taking credit for this idea.
Come to think of it... the gladiator awarded with Toothbreaker was on my list, too, and I know I was bugging Recluse for it...

First off, most people took 3 hours or so to get it.
I'm not asking for Toy Collector. I made a decision not to spend hours acquiring a badge. However, it now appears that was An Uninformed Decision (TM) with regards to this Gladiator. And I agree completely with Statesman, those types of decisions are bad.

Holy Flamebait, Batman. I know I shouldn't bite...but I still have 20 minutes left on my shift, so...
Change that to "evening" and maybe you're getting warmer. And run your posts through a spell checker while you're at it.
Yes, life isn't fair. You've figured that out. But as has been said, we play this game to get away from such things.
Clicking on a present 200 times is alarmingly tedious. Part of the reason that Powerleveling has been curtailed is that the Devs have stated that it is their policy to avoid situations where players see boring, repetitive gameplay as the quickest route to rewards. Clicking on 200 presents is the very definition of boring and repetitive. Yet it was the only route to this reward, and it is no longer available. It was a poor design, and it is a poor decision to unveil this reward so long after the event.
to get the beautiful badge you just do the villian and the Hero mission. so you need to team with hero/villian and just do mission with eachother.
How do you get Handsome/Beautiful? I haven't been able to find any info on it 
::EDIT:: Sorry I found it later in the post.

This of course is all true. I knew it to be so. Ah well, thanks for setting me straight.

Are you really saying that had you known that you would have gained access to a SnowBeast Gladiator, you would have spent 3 hours to get Toy Collector???
Honestly, I only got TC on my main and one concept toon. Knowing about the SnowBeast Gladiator would not have changed the number of hours spent getting the Accolade.
You have to admit, as far as Uninformed Decisions (TM) go, this is pretty minor ...

Um, ok. So, how many Gladiator Matches take place on a given day?
Right.
So, again, what is the real complaint here? Is it a matter of completeness?
I'd lay good odds that you will have the chance to get the Toy Collector next holiday season.

Well, Seeing as CoV LAUNCHED on Halloween this year, That in itself was a big enough Event to take care of from the Devs point of view. I'm willing to Wager this Holiday season (Barring any MAJOR Launches of a New Game or Issue) we will all be able to gather the badges we all so richly Desire
I actually hope you don't get a chance to get the Halloween 04 badges this Halloween. I take it as a point of pride that I have those badges from way back when. If they introduce a new event, there should be new badges as well. Think of it as "counting the rings" on your character when you pull up their information and see the Halloween 04 badges.
New badges: yes
Allow people to get old badges that I worked hard to get almost a year and a half ago: no

Why not really my toon that I badge with was made the first week of Live and now he has no chance of receiving these badges for the simple fact that I was out of town that week for business. Meh let everyone have another opportunity. That and give us a level 50 mission into "Outbreak".

Toothbreaker - Run DJ Zero until he gives no more missions. This gets you toothbreaker. Yes I realize...whatever inane comments anyone makes concerning the "way" to get the badge this was the easiest way to explain it. Although not the only way.
How to acquire DJ Zero as a contact...
acquire
Handsome/Beautiful badge
Run the "second" mission from Ganymede/Scratch easiest is to find a hero/villain and trade off missions with them.
Life in general is unfair....thats the way it is.
