Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Action Figures, Minibusts, Statues, Whizkid, etc... the STUFF thread

Hey Scott, I actually looked for these in London last year and couldn't find them. They actually look really well posed (better than most of the Diamond Direct stuff).

Have you heard about the Corgi USA Marvel figures? They're really cool looking and metallicy but comparatively quite expensive:

And on the JLU front, Miracle Man and Hawkman!!!

Ooh, I wish you hadn't shown me those Corgis Kev. I gotta have that Phoenix one now. But $70.00.

Of the CMFC I managed to get #11 (Jean Grey), #12 (Iron Man), #40 (Dr. Strange), #41 (Invisible Woman) and the Juggernaut special from DCBS for only $9.00 each ($15.00 for the special). I thought I'd splurge one month and see what they are like. And I went ahead and grabbed a Gambit off eBay for $12.00 for Caroline.

I'm gonna be on the hunt for these:

They're so deformed and cuuuuuute!

Alright. I picked some of these up on eBay and wound up with an extra of the first two issues/figures; Spider-Man and Wolverine. They were in different lots of multiples so it was worth it in order to get the other figures.

So, anyone else want to start another obsession? I'm willing to ship them if you pay for shipping only.

NIGHTWING 13 INCH DELUXE FIGURE

(see here at DCBS)

NIGHTWING is the newest addition to DC Direct's line of realistically proportioned, super-heroic 1:6 scale figures! This deluxe collector figure comes clothed in an authentically detailed fabric costume and includes two escrima sticks and a display stand. Packaged in a deluxe 4-color window box with a 5th panel. Includes alternate mask. Advance-solicited; on sale September 19, 2007 • Collector figure• $69.99 US

Your Price: $45.49

Now I just need an SA Batgirl in this line...

Sorry POV but I just cant support DCD's 1:6 scale line. the figures are WAY out of scale (13" instead of 12") with anything else being made so they display poorly on the shelf. The body design is almost as bad as the Hasbro GI Joe body, years behind the engineering curve for 1:6 scale figures. The costumes are badly assembled and their is an amazing lack of accessories and posed hands. If the figures in this line were $15.00 I'd buy them for a child but these are no where near collector quality and not, IMO, worth the ~$50.00 asking price.

I've picked these up over the last few weeks:

Donna Troy-- a beautiful figure, with the exception of ugly, ugly elbows. She's *tall*, though, and limited in poseability (suprise, surprise-- this is DCD). I'm complaining, but really, when I look at this figure I'm quite happy. I think she may have the prettiest face on any female figure I've seen.

Quicksilver-- Nice figure... a bit small. I'm wondering if I should keep an eye out for the green variant that's supposed to come out. Too bad there's no decent Scarlet Witch to display with him. The hair's a little off...

Kingdom Come Aquaman-- One of the few times I've bought a figure I didn't *really* want until I saw it. (Ares, being another.) You can call him King Arthur instead of Aquaman, if you want.

Animal Man-- Whoo-hoo! *nothing* to complain about with this one! I think this is a great representation of Buddy Baker! AND it's one of the figures I've most wanted!

Anyone know anything about the Mattel JLU sets with Obsidian and Sand and The Ray? Aren't they overdue by now?

Wish list: DC-- ELEMENT LAD, UMBRA, TRICKSTER, OBSIDIAN, SAND(man), BLACK ORCHID, GA HARLEQUIN... MARVEL-- POLARIS, CRYSTAL, VALKYRIE, BLACK BOLT, NORTHSTAR, MAGMA, CANNONBALL

It was announced last night that the Mattel JLU 3-pack with Hawkgirl, John Stewart and The Ray would be convention exclusives at San Diego and Wizard World Chicago.

Anyone here going to one of those? If so, can I bribe you to pick one of these up for me?

For a complete (as of this week) list of SDCC exclusives you can check out Go! Figure . I will continue to keep the page up to date as more companies send me their information.

Danged Bowen Designs knows I'm a sucker for Kitty Pryde & Lockheed:



-- I had to rearrange some of my pewter dragons in the curio case-- so far, I've got the K&L bust from earlier in this thread, the Astonishing Kitty bust, the ML Kitty action figure, now this one.

These finally started arriving from DCBS this week. Got Iron Man now and next week should get Dr. Strange, Invisible Woman, Phoenix and the Juggernaut special edition.

I saw those in Midtown's e-mail list of stuff due out this week.

Guess that means I've got awhile before I get my Shadowcat and Thanos special CMFC's...

Can or will anyone take me up on this? Pretty please?

Nobody's going to one of the cons?

Oh, well. I won't hold it against you guys.

Seen these pics yet?

TNI forums

Doc Samson? Can't wait! But freakin' VALKYRIE!!
I am *excited* about this one. She looks great! (though I miss the hair over one eye... a la Veronica Lake)

Any suggestions for an in-scale horse to turn into Aragorn? It'd be too much to ask for one with wings, wouldn't it?

No pics for these, but supposedly there's a FF set that's going to include BLACK BOLT!!! And speedo-clad Namor. And a comics-accurate Invisible Girl!

With the recent release of Quicksilver, that's almost half my most-wanted Marvel list! Crystal w/ Lockjaw, Polaris, Cannonball and Northstar would complete it!

DC Direct and Mattel's new line had better step it up!

T, you might wanna ask on the SDCC '07 thread in the MMB... the few of us confirmed for this year might not necessarily see this thread.

Valkyrie -does- look good, doesn't she? And we're getting the Black Knight before her... I was going to use Hawkeye's Atomic Steed for Dane, but I'd KILL for a set of flying horses for him and Val-- Aragorn and Dane's black, batwinged horse from the Avengers #220- or 230-something. Call 'em Marvel's (Li'l) Legend Ponies...

I want a Patsy AF now! Maybe if they call her "Patsy Walker" or "The Cat", because a HELLcat is highly unlikely to ever get made... Don't even think about getting a Daimon figure out of Hasbro!

I'd actually post a request in the con thread . I think only three or four of us really pay attention to this one.

Thanks for the advice POV and LL-- I'll do that.

As for Hellcat- I dunno, I think Walmart *might* stock a Hellcat. After all, they used that in movie titles in the 1940's and '50's. That's about where their corporate sensibility resides. (At least in terms of what they'll present to their shoppers, anyway).

I agree about Damon Hellstrom, though. *No* way that guy'll ever get released as a figure primarily available in mainstream outlets!

By the way, has anyone seen the Mattel JLU three-packs with Obsidian and/or Sand in them?

They've been out for weeks in some places, but this area hasn't seen nary a one!

I thought I saw the one with Sand at K-Mart last week, week before. You need one? No problem going back to check.

Wow- K-Mart's here have even older waves than TRU or Target!

If you happen to see one there, I would like to have one, LL.

Don't go out of your way, though. I'm probably being a bit impatient-- the way these things usually work, you give up on them and start looking for something else and then the former quarry appears en masse.

Um...Teeds, Lash, and everyone else...

Check this out!

OMG, I am SO getting that!

AND this one.

I'm glad also that DC dropped the Pocket Heroes in favor of the Minimates! Now I just hope they update the Legion...

Edit for POST # 247!! WOOHOO!!

Coolness

Kinda OT:

Anyone know any good resources for customizing action figures? I plan on asking at Julius' AFI.com...

I'm pretty certain Daimon Hellstrom, Son of Satan will not see action figure form. I want to customize a Quicksilver, maybe swap a hand with a spare Dr. Strange and add Namor's trident with some tweaks. Any ideas which figure I could borrow a cape from? Strange's is too cumbersome and would need alot of work...
