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

Here is a Q&A from Mattel about its plans for the DU Multiverse now that they have the license for everything. Other stuff is covered as well. I would also point out that there is a survey for what figures people would like to see made . Mattel has a rep watching and will be answering some of the questions asked in this thread as well. The more 'comic book geeks' rather than 'action figure freaks' that participate may sway Mattel and DC to explore more of the DCM with their DCSH line.

Pics coming in from San Diego (I guess):

Wizard Universe Fantastic Four action figures

That Johnny Storm says 'Sun Boy' to me-- if the '4' is painted on, rather than sculpted, I'm going to buy two and slop some red on that boy.

It's a good lookin' Thing, too (ha!)

Invisible Girl- still doesn't look like Sue Storm Richards, to me. This might be good Crystal fodder, though. Hmmmm.

Wizard Universe Marvel Legends Series 4

Black Bolt! Black Bolt! Hoorah! He looks good, too. Nova-- a little slender, but good head sculpt. I like the FA Daredevil, but the neck's sort of funny. Even Astonishing Beast looks good- and I'm not fond of this form for Hank McCoy. And TIGRA! Imprrrressive! I wasn't sure about her-- though she doesn't look furry, just orange-skinned.

Marvel Legends are kicking DC's butt in character selection, aren't they?

Gotta have that Black Bolt. Not a big Marvel collector outside the Classic lead figures but I'll got a huntin' for BB.

And I agree on that Johnny sculp. Would make a great Dirk.

Except for the Bradstreet Punisher and BAF choice, HML Series 4 is awesome-- I'm even excited for the AXM Cat Beast; With the upcoming Astonishing Cyclops and the AXM Kitty, Wolverine and Diamond Emma I already have, that just leaves an updated Colossus needed to complete the Astonishing team!

Nitpick-- why's it take 8 figures for the FF Wave to build Ronan, but <strike>Holocaust</strike> err, Nemesis :rolleyes: only requires 6?

DC comes through:

Action Figure Insider-- DC Direct near top, Marvel Wal-Mart Face-Offs further down

Jericho! Sanding off those sideburns could yield a good Element Lad head-sculpt.

And an adult Dick! (Ahem) Lookin' good.

CANNONBALL! All that's left for Marvel guys that I *really* want are Northstar and maybe Sunspot. Hmm. Jamie Madrox and Rictor, I guess.

The Slade looks like a new headsculpt on the Deathstroke from the DCD Contemporary Titans Series 1. Terra and Jericho look suhWEET. And I can use the College-age Robin... I'll have all my Nightwings give him a beatdown.

I'll probably get the Marvel Girl/Cable 2-pack just to have that version of Jean, and try to recreate the cover to UNCANNY 137 with the Sentinel Series Cyclops. {geek!}

the TRU-exclusive Black Queen?

I wasn't interested in Marvel's Legendary Heroes, ML-style indie AF's... until I actually -saw- them:

Series 1



The Pitt BAF looks MASSIVE.



Series 2



I'm less interested in this wave, though tha Monkeyman (BAF) & O'Brien would nice to have as a set. The best news is I have -zero- interest in any of the variants(2 per wave). The BAF's are 7 pieces, so we get some neat bonuses... Madman is packed with Timmy from the Pitt (Though, technically part of the overall Pitt BAF), and The Darkness comes with two Dark Minions instead of a Monkeyman piece.

Finally got back to the store tonight. They only had the series with the Green Lantern 3-pack. No Obsidian or Sand in sight. But I'll keep an eye open.

Try both of them, Scooter.

Better depth perception. )

You are not far from wrong with my eye sight.

Hey has anyone seen Marvel Legends 1 (Hasbro) "Planet Hulk" Incredible Hulk and Ultimate Iron Man? I found the other four last night. Didn't get them because of the missing two. But that's the closest I've seen to a full set for the "build-a-figures" in this area.

Oh, and if anyone is interested those Superhero Squad figures were all over the place, including the oversize Sentinel with Wolverine and Galactus with Human Torch.

Too kiddie looking for me but if anyone sees the two-pack with Gambit would you grab it for me? I think Caroline would love it.

HML Series 1 has been and gone here, Scott. The only figures I'm getting from Series 2 are She-Hulk and Quicksilver(x2-- I wanna try and customize a Daimon Hellstrom ), but Walmart.com has all 8 figures listed online, with fluxuating availability for Thor and She-Hulk.

The Superhero Squad seem to be in good supply at my Wal, I'll check for you next time I'm there.

I love how the HML S2 Thor comes with a honkin' big Battle Axe... and THE HEAD OF THE BLOB.

Bri, did you already order this?

I had to pass. I've been bad enough...

my god.....just got a KC (Kingdom Come) Blue Beetle and now I have to tell you guys and gals....this action figure is now one of my favorite ever! beautiful color and wings and nice job! KC Blue Beetle definitely #1 now beating out many figures including Hawkman(s), Monitor, Superboy, KC Green Lantern, KC Jade, and others.

That's why I was asking.

Oh, now you're just starting trouble... trying to talk me into a bigger bill than you this month...

Well I did spend about $150 less than last month. Only because I didn't get Caroline that new Willow statue though.

I'm thinkin' about it... We'll see how heavy comics are this month.

I know it's the line for kids... but why is the Sentinel smiling...?!

Cause he's happy to see his friend Logan.

I figured he was just laughing at Logan's hair.

PS, I still need to stop by the Wal and check for that SHS Gambit 2-pack, I haven't forgotten. I've just been on the sidelines from my steroids last week. I think I'm getting too much; while it's probably not actually hurting me, it inflames me to the point I don't even feel like getting out of bed.

Wah, wah, boohoo, I'll get over it. The doc's cutting back the dosage for next month, and we're trying doubling my Neurontin(pain med).

DCD's launching a line of action figures based on the Showcase Presents collections! Of the first wave I definitely want:
