Superman looks exactly as I expected. Can't tell with the black background how well the mullet is executed but I assume well enough. Again, black background, hard to tell, but it looks like the Penguin does have correct hands. Hooray, accuracy! I feel like we are being trolled with these...

I grabbed Scarecrow and Batgirl just now from BBTS. Thankfully they aren't scheduled to arrive until November. This is an expensive week already. Can't wait for Scarecrow, though. Batgirl is "meh", might cancel her, we'll see. But damn, that Scarecrow...... EDIT: Man, 6 minutes in and...

Your post brought it to mind but I've heard "it's an all new sculpt" many times before in defense of high prices. See ML Maximum Series. All new sculpt and BIG mega fig type characters? Sure, of course raise the price. All new sculpt and standard size characters? Invest back into the line...

Can someone remind me when Scarecrow drops?

There was never a defense for the "Collector's Edition" price even before Dr. Midnight. There was nothing in them to warrant the $30 price. The box is bigger. That's it. Then they go and HIKE the price $5 more! That's brazen. But people are still paying. Paying without batting an eyelash...

They've upped the ante on the likenesses of the Bale and the Ledger likenesses. Joker looks pretty awesome. Problem is, do you know how much I'm spending on Batman this week (IF all goes according to plan)? Too much. EDIT: OH, he's not actually shipping until this time next year? Well...

Red Platinums are a mixed bag for me. I've seen Batman Cowardly Lot on many occasions, same with final suit Riddler from Batman Forever. I saw Begins Scarecrow a handful of times. Then there is Cyborg Superman (GameStop) who I've never seen in person and was only able to get online and I'm...

I consider 89 Batman iconic and Batman Returns a masterpiece. It's Batman, but WB let Tim Burton go full Tim Burton. Then WB said they don't want any more Tim Burton because McDonald's toys. Sigh. Still, Returns is one of my favorite movies of all time. Planning my day around getting those...

No, you're right. I think his Joker is just OK and there there are other aspects of the movie that are not flawless. Still, the whole movie, for me, is iconic, warts and all.

Gotta go back to these one more time since I'm at work and both just happen to be in my teacher's nook in my classroom. That WW picture was done by a 4th grader! Had to frame it.

That's exactly what I had from that line, still have them. Added some more as an adult including Wonder Woman. Todd's Invisible Jet really is a great addition if you have her.

I recently got Randor because my wife's friend had a box of old toys he didn't want and Randor and MOTU movie Blade were both in there, got them for free. I've had Sorceress for a while, he leg band was tight enough, but the legs went off in wonky directions, she couldn't stand. Her innards...

I've been replacing MOTU leg binders here and there for a while. Not the fun and straight forward process that replacing a GI Joe O-ring is. Most are a tedious process, one was super easy (King Randor), and one was an absolute nightmare that I never want to do again (Sorceress).

I need to track down a couple of those crossovers, particularly Punisher/Batman. (I love the idea of a Jubilee/Robin romance).

Hell yeah! I hung out with a girl who put my figures in some suggestive poses, she thought it was hilarious. But it was all just in fun. She wasn't sending any hidden signals that I missed out on. Nah. Nah......I'm sure of it......... This was the same girl who, in the early days of AOL...

The conclusion to Hush 2 is pushed back to next year. Jesus. I just need to go trades only. Problem is the LCS I pull my books at doesn't do trades, only singles, and I want to support them. Well.....support them as much as I can, at least, with my pull list of like 3 books a month.

I too feel Nicholson Joker is not completely off the table, but I also know you all are right. It won't just be something you can order on BBTS if you want it. These figures that there is some kind of buzz surrounding are the ones that Todd is going to abuse us with. I knew Schreck was going...

Will the Penguin from the Duck have two flippers? We're jumping through the maximum number of hoops here. If MTS had Schreck, that could be the one-stop-shop, but no. This line would be more fun if not for the ego of the guy in charge. I won't miss him.

For you and everyone else. The most important action figure of the last 25 years. Modern action figure collecting is what it is today because of that figure.

Great shelf. I love Rogue too. I almost pulled the trigger on that Mondo version. I got my 90s Toybiz Rogue at a comic convention in the early 90s. I was 13 or 14, something like that, and I had discovered the art of haggling. But I wasn't smart enough to understand that it doesn't usually...

That's where I'm at. This is what drove me away from Trouble Bubble Tele Viper (and holding out paid off with a 10/10 retro card version). I'm fine with African American/caucasian alt heads, but if you have exposed skin other places it gets problematic. I don't know, I might end up getting...

The purpose of this thread is to post about toys in your collection that you have a special attachment to. Vintage or modern. Whether it's on display or in a box in storage. Whether you've had it for decades or you finally got it last week. Whether it's in mint condition or a beater. Tell...

I might have a bit of a problem here. See, Todd's stuff usually goes up for preorder at 10am central (my time). On Fridays at that time I am taking my 4th graders to all-school Mass. I have little hope that the three standard figures will last the 60 minutes let alone the Schreck red...

If he doesn't run out of time with the license you can bet on Absolute figures.

Honestly, if the hands situation does get completely botched, I'm going to break out the sculpy.. Yeah, better idea to put the neck joint at the base of you HAVE to have one. It broke up the sculpt on the 89 version too badly.
