I got Modern with clothes and want classic nude.

I'm too awake for this to be a nightmare


It was the same with Negative Man. Amazon doesn't know the difference between the variants. I wanted classic, but got the variant. I was going to trade it, but then realized that the variant's entire face is removable to reveal a really creepy skull underneath. So I just sculpted the bandages onto the face, because I don't think the regular version has a removable face.




I also picked up the new Jail Cell Joker the other day. The face sculpt is a lot better than the first Joker, the shirt's colored correctly, and the best is sculpted really well. The face was still terribly painted, but once painted well, it's pretty good.

We had this one at my store but she was wearing pants and a top. So I guess there are three versions of Cheetah.

Anyway, we had a guy buy a case of figures and return the ones he didn't want so I picked up Blue Beetle, Superboy, and Donna Troy. Pretty sweet, I guess.

Yeah okay what is your email? Mine is metalgear AT gmail.com

If I can trouble you just to email me a picture of the toy with your username in it?

I'll slip you a buck more to include tracking on the sucker too.

You shouldn't have a naked modern cheetah at all. They aren't released, and Amazon should definitely not have them.

If you have one, it's worth a whole lot more than 20 bucks.

Those are very, very rare and are not supposed to be available at retail at all.

Didn't he have some kind of association with Mattel? He told us that Gentleman Ghost would be widely available before he found out they were short packed if I remember correctly.

Edit: this guy seems to have sold quite a few of them on ebay for 30 bucks:

I'm careful about what I say here because I'm not speaking officially, but I know for a fact that those figures are not available normally. Occasionally someone working at Mattel's production plant will sell items that are not supposed to be available on auction cites, and Mattel has a very enthusiastic internal investigation force that tracks them down and arrests them eventually.

Mattel's aware of the Ebay sales, but there shouldn't be any available legitimately.

For the past 2 weeks, one Wal-Mart has had 2 Mark VIs sitting on the pegs, and the other has 3 empty pegs, so I've given up hope.
Checked today, they had the same 9 mkVIs warming the pegs.

So is it just the naked ones that aren't supposed to be out or the whole wave? And other than being the variant is there a reason she's so rare?

Edit: oh poo poo the modern figure is supposed to be clothed.

Yeah, the naked figure wasn't supposed to be available for retail sale. Obviously some were made, but the clothed modern one was the final product.

I'll take a look for you, but the last time I was at Wal-Mart they only had Iron Man mkVI and no War Machines left. Even when I (finally) got mine a couple weeks ago, they only had 3 War Machines and about a dozen mkVIs.

I found one last night, thanks for volunteering to keep an eye out!

Found wave 13 of DCUC at my local Wal-Mart tonight. I was there with my wife and I felt like a little kid when she told me I could only have 1 figure. Picked up Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle and its amazing. Neither one of the Cheetahs were really outstanding to me, but I'll probably wander back down tomorrow for Superboy and Donna Troy.

I've seen some of G-Gundam, but not all of it, and knew of the more bizarre mobile fighters from it, like Tequila Gundam. No one ever told me there was a Sailor Gundam.
