Iceman was an immediate preorder, but as much as I want to like the Punisher, there are just too many issues for me to overlook…and this is coming from someone whose preferred look for the Punisher IS the Mike Zeck version. They went overboard with the paint around the eyes on the sculpts, the...

About the only negative critique I have of Psylocke so far is that the flesh paint coverage could be better on the molded blue upper and lower torsos. It’s not egregious and doesn’t ruin what is otherwise a very good figure or anything like that, but I wouldn’t call it a nitpick either. The...

I think the general lack of availability/FOMO contributes to that a bit. I also think it benefits by comparison to the average ML female figure. It’s a good figure that I’m happy to have in my collection, but it hasn’t made my Revoltech or Mafex Psylockes expendable.

Ah, the best laid plans of mice and senior management. “We’ll get store exclusive collectors items, they will be part of out summer planogram, we’ll have a street date so that we can have them on hand in every Target store across the nation, and on that street date, we will roll out our brand...

I think there will definitely be opportunities for those who missed out today to pick up a set, but it will require a bit of due diligence and follow up.

Alan Scott Green Lantern. For me, that figure was the full realization of the line’s potential. The Spectre is a close second.

If memory serves, they usually restock at least once when it comes to Target Hasbro exclusives. I seem to remember an environment very similar to this one surrounding the Storm/Thunderbird two pack several years ago where each Target in my area had one case initially and then got two more cases...

I should be so excited that I found a set, not to mention grateful given how many of you are still in the hunt, but this whole experience has left a really bad taste in my mouth. I know it’s me, because none of this is new. Maybe it’s my advancing age, or maybe it’s just burnout after over...

The Psylocke/Thanos set was my fourth Marvel Legends purchase this year, and my fifth overall counting my She-Hulk preorder. We’re 2/3 of the way through July. That used to be a month’s worth of Marvel Legends purchases for me, and a slow one at that. Unfortunately, it just so happens that...

I’ve always been a big proponent of “letting your fingers do the walking”. (I’m showing my age here.) However, I got caught up in the “Gotta be there when the doors open!” self imposed frenzy this time, so I was already out and about. Great advice in general, though. The scenario you...

I was able to get a set at the second Target I went to. So all’s well that ends well? No. First, too many other collectors like Reno haven’t been able to get a set, and I’m not one to celebrate while others are still having trouble finding a set. Second, they say “Don’t hate the playa, hate...

I wasn’t so lucky. I stayed up half the night waiting for it to show up online to no avail then went to my local Target this morning and was told that they’re completely out of stock.

Sometimes they don’t come online until well after 2:00 am EST. It’s 2:08 as I type this.

It can take awhile to appear. I’m up now and checking periodically. I successfully did this with Warbird last year. I wish I could find a time stamp on when I placed that order, but the online receipt only shows what time I picked it up. It’s ridiculous to have to jump through these hoops...

Yeah, the last McFarlane figure I picked up was Hawkgirl (Kendra), and in my eyes, she’s near flawless. When I start paring down my McFarlane collection next year to just the figures that I’m truly happy with, regardless of character choice, I should be left with an eclectic, but satisfying...

I have no problem with McFarlane continuing with the DC license in some way, shape or form. It will make a lot of collectors that enjoy the line happy and certainly won’t hurt anyone who doesn’t enjoy the line, so why not? My hope would be that if McFarlane does continue with the DC license...

I’m at the stage of the game where I would rather pay a premium for a BAF on eBay than be stuck with more unwanted figures to unload. I’m pushing 60, so as others have said, Mattel is going to really have to bring it to get me to invest long term in another line. Honestly, I’d probably be...

I’ve been buying a lot of McFarlane DC Multiverse figures this year. I have to be careful, because that usually ends with me making purchases I regret, but so far, so good with: Wildcat, Orion, Rebirth Batman (digital), Power Girl (reg and plat), Guy Gardner (reg), Captain Cold (reg), Adam...

I saw them at my local Walmart this morning, so hopefully your order will go through.

I accidentally put a small tear near the point of Hourman’s hood, so I decided I might as well experiment a bit. It’s not an ideal solution, but it sure looks a lot more like Hourman than it did before.

Yeah, I didn’t hear about it until last night, but either way, it seems I really miscalculated on Jade’s (in)availability. Or maybe I just wanted an excuse to be fiscally irresponsible for once and scratch that itch.

A classic mask/head (with long red hair) would have made the platinum a must buy. As is, the platinum is an easy pass.

I’m buying more DC Multiverse figures than ever which is kind of funny. What’s not funny is my PERCEPTION that… 1). Some figures will be very difficult to find in the wild, at least for me. I can’t stop at multiple stores multiple days of the week hoping to be in the right place at the right...

Marvel Legends Marrow and DC Multiverse Adam Strange (standard version) are shipping from BBTS today. Digital Dr. Fate is on preorder from BBTS as is Storm Collectibles KOF 98 Kim Kaphwan and Bishoujo Star Trek Command Officer. Mafex Rogue is on preorder from Hobby Link Japan. I think that’s...

I’ve always wondered what percentage of DC and Marvel action figure collectors still actively read contemporary comics. I’m old school. I liked the days when bad guys either robbed banks or wanted to rule the world as opposed to stuffing mutilated girlfriends into refrigerators or repeatedly...
