So after weeks and months of looking, I finally broke down and bought a Movie Masters Ras al Ghul for $30 shipped, which isn't a bad deal considering I want my drat bat signal to be finished. Now, I just need a goggles-up Catwoman, and then a Bane and Batman--which shouldn't give me too much of a problem...

That's Voodoo of the Wildcats. Since when are there JLU Wildcats?

Rhyno posted:Well that's cool and explains much. It would have been $38 and change with Matty's ripoff shipping and handling charges. If you really want a little Guy Gardner figure but don't necessarily care or collect JLU, just get the DC Infinite Heroes version. They're slightly shorter than JLU, but have more articulation and somewhat more realistic sculpts. Plus there are DC Direct, DC Universe Classics, Action League, Minimates, and HeroClix versions you can get. EDIT: And that Mego-style one, and the Eaglemoss lead figurine (those things are awesome).

Did they ever get around to making a JLU golden age Sandman, or did they just stick with Sandy?

Sadly he broke off his base and I never got around to fixing him. My Pocket Hero Guy has an arm that falls out but he was free! I even have the crappy clear Infinite Heroes figure.

How are the 6-inch Marvel Classic Legends figures? I've been eyeballing the Iron Man and Hope Summers the last few times I've been at the store, but I haven't pulled the trigger on them yet.

My Pocket Hero Guy has an arm that falls out but he was free! I even have the crappy clear Infinite Heroes figure. Search eBay for seller taomr6007. He is selling a loose JLU Guy without the vinyl jacket piece for $3.99 plus 99 cents shipping from China. I've bought four figures from him before; all good quality. EDIT: My Vandal Savage that I ordered from him arrived today, so this is my collection as it stands:

I really wasn't too interested in the Matty Collector Voltron. I just didn't think that "GIANT loving ROBOT!" was enough of a selling point for me anymore. Then I saw Peaugh's review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCfQXswOSyA and I gotta admit, he starts Forming Voltron Force, I was slightly tempted. But instead, I dicked around with YouTubeDoubler and gave you all this http://youtubedoubler.com/5Evk

 So my old Footloose figure, sitting untouched in a display case, spontaneously combusted. The bad part is that his back screw is both rusted and stripped. Solution? I ordered a new torso. When it arrives, I'll use a hammer and a screwdriver to crack open the stripped-screw torso.

I'd rather practice on a cheaper figure like Footloose than an '85 Snake Eyes. So, I bought a Footloose torso on eBay, which arrived today. So instead of a hammer and screwdriver, I just used a pair of pliers, squeezing at the bottom of the torso to pop it open.  It came apart pretty easily, and I realized the problem was that whoever owned the figure before me drove the screw too deep - past the screw opening in the back.  This was super easy, and Footloose is like new.

Bonus points if you can find desktop speakers to sit at the sides of the castle, other MOTUC figures to sit in 'stands' like fans outside the castle, and Grayskullman wearing a little HULKAMANIA shirt, with a hand to his ear. And some firecrackers for pyrotechnics.

Wondering if I'm just having bad luck finding him Marvel Universe (and Hasbro in general, I guess) has the shittiest distribution I've ever seen. Depending on what part of the country you live in there may be months before you get stocked with the new product that's been widely released in other parts of the country. When you factor in that, scalpers and the cost of gas to drive around and look for these things it's totally worth it to me to just buy that poo poo from an online toy store for a bit more and be done with the hassle.

The CIE Uncle Sam (with Dollman!) and Constantine figures arrived yesterday. They're decent but not really anything new from other figures wearing suits (Joker) or trenchcoats (Question), though John's open shirt and loose tie are a nice touch. Interestingly they do have some slightly different joints than I've seen on previous DCUC figures, something I noticed on last month's Poison Ivy as well; it's weird little t-joints or something for their shoulders, and in Ivy's case her hips only swivel forward and backwards and she lost her ab crunch. Just odd that they'd switch to new pieces at this stage in the game. Question for any Hellblazer readers: John's got a big scar across his left eye that I was unaware he had, and I can't find anything online that explicitly details how he actually acquired that; can anyone enlighten me?
