So which Legion action figs do you own?
Or are you waiting for other era figures?
Which one Legion character would you like to see sealed up in plastic on comic store shelves-- just waiting for you to purchase him/her/it?

So which Legion action figs do you own? All of the ones that DCD has produced thus far...Lightning Lad, Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Superboy, Supergirl, Brainic 5, Mon-El, Sun Boy, Ultra Boy, Chameleon Boy, Star Boy & Mordru with Krypto and Streaky. Two of each - one displayed and one of each still in the packages (including the re-sealable ones). I'm weird like that.
Or are you waiting for other era figures? No. I want them in order of appearance and costume change. I'm weird like that.
Which one Legion character would you like to see sealed up in plastic on comic store shelves-- just waiting for you to purchase him/her/it? All of them! I can't stop at just one. I want them all even obscure one panel characters! I'm weird like that.

I have two each of the founders, one for display and one to save. Also have Star Boy and Sun Boy. Still need to find an Ultra Boy, Chameleon Boy, Mordru, Superboy/Girl set.
I'd also like to see them released in order but want to see some more girls. Come on! Where the hell is Tinya and Vi already?
Which one Legionnaire would I like to see? All of them of course!

i have them all apart from MORDRU !!
i don't feel like he fits in with the other ones !! they should be all designed by the same person IMO !!
the first 3 were the best, so far .....

I'm waiting for the Dawnstar and WILDFIRE figures -- I'll have to buy multiples of Wildfire so I can use M-80's to reinact all those tragic/romantic scenes of Dawnstar flying off and Drake blowing himself up in a fit of frustration and angst. Of course I'll have to yell "DAWNY!!" at the top of my lungs as he blows up.

At this rate, all that we'll have that portrays my sister by the end of this decade is that one-inch pewter RPG figure from about 15 years ago ... it painted up nicely, but it's still not the same ... ![[Linked Image]](http://mywebpage.netscape.com/Greybird007/Dawny/RPGfigure.gif)

I've got that whole set Grey. I'll have to post some pictures if I can get them out of storage. I bought the Legion set, Teen Titans and the Watchmen. At the time I was just happy to have any Legion related merchandise.

I have all the Legion figures except for Superboy and Supergirl. I just didn't think clearly when I had a chance to get them. If I find them somewhere convenient, I'll pick em up.

I've only got the three founders and Mordru. I couldn't bring myself to get the others. I'll probably crack and get the Ferro Lad in Feb. and the Lyle in August though.

According to the announcement at the San Diego con, they are going with the guys until they break the mold. Basically to keep it cost effective they want to get all the male figures released first and then do the female ones. Doesn't make sense to me either.

I have all the figures that have come out so far. I even custom made almost all the Legionnaires, from the 70's plus...Calorie Queen, Esper Lass, Spider-Girl and or course... Infectious Lass. Greybird did you get your Dawn*Star off of ebay? I ask only becasue I put one up on there a few yrs ago that was painted. I'm hoping that DC wisens up and does the girls to... it just not the Legion without the females. It kind of reminds me of the PVC set they put out a few yrs ago... only 1 female and the rest were males.

I understand the reasoning; I just think its a mistake. Seems to me the core audience still supporting these figures would go for the female figures just as much as the males.

They should at least test the waters with Lu. Most fans would buy at least two, if not three! I know -I- would buy three... --by the by, the edit was for the first "buy". Buh-BYE!  --

Most action figures are not anatomically correct.

At least the Jenna Jameson doll comes with plastic boobs. It's attention to real-life details that make or break action figure lines!

I have the founders, and want Mordru, but the "newest" one just don't look enough like who they are supposed to be, IMO. I am looking for the Superboy/Supergirl as the shop I used to buy all my stuff from never ordered them for me (or the Kypto statue). I want, as a minuimum, all the the figures that were on display at that museum in the World's Finest Comic that Joe Meach was standing in front of. They were struck by lightning, and he became The Composite Superman. Hmmmmmmmmm, I wonder if that accident can be duplicated. Well, with all the rain we've had in Georgia this year I could probably get the lightning strike but highly unlikely I'd get the the super-powers. I'd just have singed and/or melted DC Directs.

who cares about the figures being anatomically incorrect??? I got all of them: Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad (with Saturn Girl card error), Saturn Girl, Mordru, Superboy, Supergirl, Krypto, Streaky, Brainiac 5, Mon-El, Chameleon Boy, Sun Boy, Star Boy, and Ultra Boy. I cannot wait to get Timber Wolf and Ferro Lad. I am confident that there will be a four-pack female Legionnaires - Phantom Girl, Shadow Lass, Princess Projectra, and Light Lass...then can't wait to get Colossal Boy and Invisible Kid - but one wonders why can't Colossal Boy be bigger and Invisible Kid being invisible? *chuckle* I know I will buy Triplicate Girl THREE of them...

I just picked up another set of these of eBay, unopened with the original price tag still on it. I haven't dug out my painted set yet and can't decided on whether to just leave this one sealed or try my hand again at painting them now that I've had 18 years to practice.

I-kid could have been packaged with an extra, transparent arm, or an all-transparent variant figure. No way around Gim, though. A bigger figure would just cost more.

For figures: Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad, Cosmic Boy, Mordru, Brainiac 5, Mon-El, Ultra Boy, and Chameleon Boy. I have Star Boy and Sun Boy being held at my local comics shop. The deal I have with my wife is that I get a new figure for every 10 pounds I lose. Right not, I have 3 1/2 pounds to go to the next figure (I currently dress out at 279) Originally posted by Mystery Lad:

Actually, I would like to see them in order of joining. I am a tad disappointed that we will be gettting Timber Wolf and Ferro Lad before Phantom Girl and Triplicate Girl. Does DC Direct not have a clue? Don't they realize that we would all buy three of Lu? To be honest however, what I would really like to see is the current, and future, figures released to the same quality as the originalfounders wave.
