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

And maybe we can hope for more SA Legionnaires... Dare we? :beg :grovel:

I was grocery shopping this morning and discovered that the Superfriends line is out. Of course, three stores later (luckily, the frozen food didn't thaw out since it's pretty cool out today), nobody had Aquaman (or Flash, but I only want Aquaman).

Anyone run across one?

Is that the DC equivalent of the "Spidey&Friends" Line, Seymour? I've only seen the Batman and Superman figs online... I'll have to keep my eyes open next time I'm out. What grocery store did you see them in?

Yeah, it's a cute, blocky kids line. For some reason, I thought they were coming out in September. Meijer (a local superstore chain) had the best selection: Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and Lex Luthor. Kmart had a single Batman left, and Target had three empty pegs for them.

I've heard Meijer's mentioned on various toy-related MB's. Too bad they're only in 5 states in the midwest--Michigan , Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.

I've got a SuperWal right next to me, and a Target, K-Mart and a couple regular Wals within 30-40 minutes. It'd be fun to have a kid's-style JLA.

Well, I just stopped at Toys R Us while I was out. They had a ton of Batmen (in three variations, plus the one that comes with the Batcycle), and a couple Supermen but not anybody else. Oh, well, I'm sure I'll find him eventually.

Try Big Lots. They seem to be getting lots of Mattel DC action figures lately.

Woohoo! A Kirby New Gods wave from DCDirect!!!



And lookit... Kirby "squiggles" sculpted into the thighs!!!

Finally, an artist and a line that *deserves* an art-specific sculpt...

I'm just hoping Orion comes with his harness...

Not sure about the harness, but I believe he does come with an alternate "Son of Darkseid" head.

That'll be cool, but c'mon! The Mike Turner Batman got an Astro-glider harness, fer Pete's sake! Not giving the Kirby Orion one would be as bad as making a Metron without a Mobius Chair! I'll have to petition Georg and the DCD gang... maybe those could be build-a-figure type pack-ins, especially the Mobius Chair if/when this series gets a second wave... I'm thinking Metron, Kalibak, Highfather and a Parademon.

If they buy that, I want Forever People line with them and Infinity Man(?) with the parts to their vehicle packed in.

Just in time to say goodbye to the lot of them.

Jeesh, yeah. :rolleyes:

So close! They had a bunch. They even had Flash (which I almost bought to sell on eBay but decided to leave for an actual kid, hopefully), but no Aquaman.

Speaking of leaving for kids, I was talking about it at work when I got there, and my friend Rob said when he sees figures he knows are a bit more rare but he doesn't want to buy, he'll bend up the card to discourage anal MOC collectors so it's more likely to end up in the hands of a kid.

You should the guys on the toy boards b!tch about that, SS... :rolleyes: Some guys were going on about a conspiracy at Target with the "McQuarry Star Wars" figures, whatever -they- are, and how all the cards on the pegs had been bent. I buy my toys to open. Although I wish now I'd left my EXP Blaster Batgirl on the card... she doesn't display well.

I was talking to the toy guy at Target about this being my first time being a toy stalker (went to Big Lots and two Targets this morning before work), and he said there are regulars in there every day when they open. At his store, they're mostly Hot Wheels collectors.

Rob calls himself a toy vigilante.

Good for him! And hopefully, the kids!

Since I wasn't having any luck with these at my local Super*Wal, I ordered this and She-Hulk from Walmart.com. Have to say, as much as I miss the comics, I like the quality of the Hasbro figures. Hope they can tighten up the hip joints, though; the legs spread when I stand them. Not to the point of doin' splits, but enough to make posing difficult.

Now, I just need to sit Blob's head in some ketchup, and put some on the big blade of Thor's axe...

DCBS has 'em for $40 and change this month...WooT!

$21.75 for the Classic Marvel Collectors Mag special figure this month. Galactus. Got to have it though. I'm bound and determined to get the whole series.

And I ordered Caroline the Elvis in Vegas McFarlane figure. Looks pretty good though I wish he was in his black outfit from the TV special instead.

I checked the marvel-figurines.co.uk homepage, and they didn't have the Big G pictured- have you seen it anywhere? As an aside, I got my Kitty and Lockheed... how careful should I be handling it? I wanna open the bag and put the figure and poster book in my curio... Should I just wash my hands after and throw out the bag in the regular garbage?

That should be good enough. I haven't opened any of mine yet but I think the quality of these is better than the old lead figures I had growing up (for DnD) and those didn't kill my little brother, no matter how hard I tried.

Haven't seen G yet. This was the first I'd heard of him being released. Most expensive one yet. Just wish that DCBS would learn the difference between ' and " for feet and inches. If I believed the description, he's five feet tall.

Found a pic.

Looks nice-- doing the conversion, he's 127mm... 34mm taller than the Silver Surfer figurine. Seems Galactus should be bigger...

And only 17mm taller than the subscriber-only Spidey on rooftop.

Look what I found. EagleMoss, makers of the CMF series, is starting a DC set. No release date or any other info but here's a look at two figures.
