GAAAAH!

WAL*MART ML EXCLUSIVES WAVE SIGHTED IN KENTUCKY!

Check it out at fwoosh.net, if you can get in... very heavy traffic.

finally Helena Wayne !!!!! Huntress of Earth 2 yes!!!!

The giant Marvel Walmart wave is starting to arrive. I found a display here in Knoxville. The sets were both there, but the only 'singles' left were THOR, SABRETOOTH and ANT-MAN. Which is okay, since I promised myself I'd only buy two at a time-- and THOR was at the head of my list. So, I also picked up ANT-MAN.

The YOUNG AVENGERS set looks terrific-- I'd ordered one through my cbs, though, so I passed on it.

Oh, yeah- there were some of those two-packs with a hero and a villain. I couldn't really look at them though, since a rather... large family was having a reunion on that side of the display (which was nowhere near the action figure aisle, in case you go looking).

Anyone got a spare $500 they can loan me ? This puts all those LoTR chess sets to shame and I'm not even the biggest Spidey fan. This would look so cool on my desk.

Those BASTARDS! Why $500!

My guess is because the figures are all pewter (colored pewter at that) and the three-dimensional board. It is about the same as the non-colored pewter LoTR sets I've seen but this board beats them all. And from looking at the SOTA Toys site , this is just the first in a series of Marvel boards. If they get a DC license, I'll be selling a kidney for the Legion one.

You and me both, Scott.

then who will King, Queen, Bishop, etc if the Legion set is to be unveiled?

I would chose Cosmic Boy as the King, Saturn Girl as the Queen, Lightning Lad as the Knight....Pawns? Bouncing Boy, Colossal Boy, Star Boy, Ultra Boy, Timber Wolf.....Mon-EL would be the Rook, Wildfire as the Rook, Brainiac 5 as Bishop, Karate Kid as Bishop, hmmm....Light Lass as another Knight...(twin siblings, get it?)...hmmm not much female legionniares???

Oh, good heavens...



Also solicited were the next wave of JSA action figures, including the GA Atom two-pack, and a nifty Barry Allen Flash from DCD's 13" Deluxe line...

From an Adam Hughes second print cover IIRC. Nice rendering, but er... not quite appropriate for my mantle.

I did get quite a chuckle out of seeing the "Power Girl Bust" solicited.

And FINALLY the Golden Age Atom, along with modern JSA members. About time they finished the original JSA lineup. The original JSA feels complete, even though I know Johnny Thunder and Mister Terrific are missing, and likely to remain so. Atom felt like a gaping hole.

great!!!! I am gonna buy them all! We need Star Spangled Kid/Stargirl, STRIPESY, Jakeem Thunder/Thunderbolt, AtomSmasher, Jade, Obsidian, and many more real soon to complete the JSA Roster! I will get Earth 2 Huntress soon! can't wait.

Sizzling Statues! There's an Action Figures Museum in Oklahoma.

Too bad they don't have any online exhibits.

The interactive exhibits for kids sounds neat, though... wonder if I can pass for 12 if I shave...

Hey, Beagz! It's 5 hours from your place! When I ever visit... ROAD TRIP!

Oh. My. GOD.



From Bowen Designs, a full-sized Classic 70's Warlock statue!

There's also a matching "Modern" Warlock, the Perez Infinity Gauntlet design. But I really can't justify buying them both.

Hmm.



or



Tough choice, but if I could afford either, I'd have to go with the Starlin original.

I've gotta stop searching when I fill out my DCBS orders...

That modern Warlock -is- really nice, but yeah, I have to have the classic Starlin figure. Just wish I could swing both of them, but DCBS only gives a 25% discount on the Bowen stuff. Still a good deal, but not good enough where I can justify buying both of them.

Maybe next month, if they're still offering it...

How much many can you get for donating blood/non-vital organs?

I don't know how official it is, but here's some pics of apparent upcoming figures by Mattel (in the JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED style):

Action Figure Insider

OBSIDIAN! SAND! I've wanted figures of these two since I started buying action figures! STAR-SPANGLED GIRL! DEADSHOT! NEMESIS! LIGHTRAY! And more! Mattel's character selection makes DC Direct look like a decided also-ran.

Even so, I wish DC Direct or the less cartoony Mattel line could or would make some of these characters.

I wonder-- if the JLU characters sell, will that induce DCDirect to maybe release heroes or villains they've been passing up?

Wizkids finally started selling the Giants to the public. On eBay sellers want at least $55 with double-digit shipping for a full set of seven or around $15 apiece + shipping for individual clix. I got my set in the mail from Wizkids yesterday and it only cost me about $45. That's $7.50 a figure which isn't too bad. Now I have a Validus and Colossal Boy to display.

Not sure, though, what I'm going to do with the other five figures as I don't play anymore.

Scott Beatty, who has written some stories for The Batman Strikes and upcoming JSA Classified (according to Comics Continuum }, is also writing The DC Comics Action Figure Archive due to be published in 2007.

Sounds like it will be a must have for action figure collectors and Legion AR collectors.

Why am I just now hearing about this ? The Classic Marvel Figurine Collection. Sure, the company, Eaglemoss, is in the UK but that usually doesn't stop me from smaller collectible figures like these. DCBS had four issues including the Juggernaut special on their order list this month so I ordered them all.

I'm really surprised I hadn't seen them mentioned before now. Now I have to hit eBay to find the Gambit one for Caroline.

So I go to my comic shop and what do I see figures of...?

A QWARDIAN THUNDERER.

Let me get this straight...there are fewer people buying Legion figures than will buy a QWARDIAN THUNDERER???

Are consumers crazy, or is DCD?

it's Green Lantern fans who will buy anything related to GL so Qwardian Thunderers are the enemies of GL Corps...beat me! I don't know why they decided to have them over any Legionnaires...???
Maybe you can bring it up at the SD comics Convention and ask them why? and how? and what?
