Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Mattel: LSH action figures!

Yep- no date mentioned, though. They're going to be sold through the Mattel collector's site, which opens Monday, July 28, as announced at Comic-Con.

They'll be packaged as 4-packs! No word on which characters will be in the first pack. In order for these to continue, that pack'll have to sell, I'm sure.

Here's the site where I got this info

Thanks Todd. I heard this was announced this morning.

I saw a blurry picture of a slide they showed at the panel. It only showed the "L" symbol (next to a Shazam lightning bolt) under what looked like part of the Justice League Unlimited logo they use on that line so maybe it's going to be a part of it. I could see some JLU style Legion figures, especially the designs used in "Far From Home." (That was the Supergirl JLU ep, right?)

mattel will make legion action figures available on there webstore in the future in the jlu style they said 4 packs so hope is still alive

Really? They've gave the same bit of promise a year ago.

It's unclear whether the four-packs will be from the Legion's own cartoon or from the JLU appearance or something else.

This time, at least an actual retail source is given. Last year it was even *more* vague, as I remember.

Hm, if they should be from the cartoon, I certainly won't buy them cause the one above is looking incredibly ugly... this might work as a modern comic book, but not as an action figure...

Given that it was shown under the JLU logo, it's likely that it'll be the Legionnaires as they appeared in the Superman/JLU series rather than the LSH animated show as above (which was cancelled due to low orders).

I think it'd be likely we'd see Saturn Girl, Chameleon, and Cosmic Boy (from "New Kids in Town") and Brainiac 5 (from "Far From Home"), four of the five Legionnaires with speaking parts - Bouncing Boy's body would require a unique male body mold.

I was at the panel and the Legion toys will fall under the JLU Banner and style. It won't be until 2009 though guys.

And the JLU line is now exclusive to Target stores and the new Mattel collectors website: http://www.mattycollector.com

What about the 6-inch DCUC line?

While I'll probably buy JLU Legion figures -- especially those that use the Cockrum costumes (Colossal Boy, Lightning Lad and Timber Wolf come to mind, not sure about the rest)

I really want 6-inch figures with a less cartoony look.

It will be interesting who makes the cut. Supergirl & B5 are probably good bets but after that??? Bouncing Boy was a prominate character in the JLU episode plus the Legion toon but he would require a new mold made & anyone familiar with the JLU figs knows that's not going to happen anytime soon. (sooner if the 4 pack sells well)

MattyCollector.com Exclusive 4-packs
(note: all figures in each pack will come individually carded)

Gotham Criminals (TNBA Scarecrow, JLU Clock King, TNBA Bane, JLU Harley Quinn) - 4th Quarter 2008

Captain Marvel - 1st Quarter 2009

Legion of Superheroes - 2nd Quarter 2009

So the earliest we would see LSH toys - at least in the JLU line - would be May of next year.

They could show up sooner in the DCU Classics line or Infinite Heroes line.

Fwoosh rumor:

Colossal Boy C&C series in 2009:

Unfortunately that is pure rumor and fan speculation. LSH figures ARE on the game plan for 2009 but not as part of the DCUC line. They are planed as part of the online JLU exclusives to be offered at MattyCollector.com.

While I would LOVE to see LSH figures in the DCUC line DC & Mattel are not allowing them as options. There is a chance to see some LSH in the DC Infinite Heros line during 2009 as well but probably just the founders. It looks like if the DCIH figures happen they will be in either the 1980's costumes (Great Darkness Saga) or the 2008 Action costumes.

Could be, but I haven't seen anything from Mattel stating that Legion couldn't be in the DCUC wave.

It does appear that the JLU versions will debut first, but I'm certainly counting on Legionnaires being in the DCUC line as well.

Great Darkness figures would be great -- as the uniforms used in that story were around in the 70s as well. The only problem would be Timber Wolf who was in that disco-inspired, chest hair revealing number that followed the Cockrum costume.

Matty Collector will be offering 4 LSH figures as part of their JLU animated series. Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl and Brainiac 5 as seen in the 5th season of JLU (Far from Home, episode 10).

In a Press Release dated 3/10/09 Mattel said:
We did want to announce that the DCUC Ultraman and Alex Luthor 2 pack will go on sale April 15th and the JLU LOSH pack will go on sale May 15th.
Faker will be on sale this Tuesday March 16th and will be limited to 4 per person due to his availability at NYCC.

These usually go on sale starting at around 11am EST (8am PST)

While no JLU figure has sold out in less than a week so far my connection at Mattel has said there was a noticeable jump at Mattycollector after announcing the LSH figures. I can also say that while NO additional LSH figures are currently planed they have already asked for sculpts of the next 4 'in case things change in May'



As a recap - May 15th the LSH JLU figures will become available at Matty Collector Online

*eager writing down the day to buy the Legion on May 15th*

I am buying this, but Saturn Girl is a slight disappointment. I wish she was more like the cartoon version we saw.

Huzzah! I so can't wait for these!

I'm such a slobbering fanboy I'd buy them even if they were pvc.

It looks like Eaglemoss will be releasing lead figurines of Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad.

These come with glossy magazines devoted to the history of the characters.

I'm glad to see these- and I'll buy 'em-- but, Lord, the rest of the Legionnaires are like Jan Brady. "Founders, fouders, founders..."

Am I the only one who's finding the shoulder-to-waist proportions on the males kind of... um, disconcerting ?

Oh, well.

or/and "Brainiac 5, Brainiac 5, Brainiac 5" as he is always getting into the merchandise such as Action Figures, Heroclix, VS card, etc...and keeps popping somewhere in comics such as Superman, Booster Gold, and recently REBELS...beating out Triplicate Girl, Phantom Girl, Colossal Boy, Chameleon Boy, and others before him. I would love to see Princess Projectra to get some recognition somehow.

The list I saw had Brainiac 13 on it. There was some comment about that character not having enough appearances.

Has Eaglemoss clarified?
