I am really loving the DC Bombshells line. I already have Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn and have Black Canary pre-ordered but today I saw Zatanna revealed



She may be the best one of the line yet

Goddammit, now I really want Harley, but the wife would absolutely kill me if I dropped hundreds of dollars on a figure.

Well it's a statue, but if she retailed for $100, I can't imagine the eBay prices now.

After actively trying to think of a flaw (any excuse to not buy it because ow, my wallet), literally the only thing I can think of is a lack of green transparent rods for the proton beams. God, this set is pretty much perfect :rodimus:

Already picked up a new Metalbeard and a used Lunar Limo off of Bricklink this week... this hobby's gonna be the death of me.

You could probably buy a bunch online and mod em with little string or wire for the extra bits around the beam.

Well I wasn't going to be surprised, I've had a dozen people ask if we'll part out the boxed set so they can just get Catwoman.

In my own toy news, I've dipped into the new TMNT line and really dig them. Enough to start looking at older TMNT lines. I always regretted not getting the NECA line and looked for them on ebay to see them going for crazy prices. But there were also sets for $50 from China. Turns out there's some incredibly high quality knock offs available so I pulled the trigger on one. Will report on them when they arrive.

Yours come yet? Just got mine and they are pretty sweet. Some weapons don't fit that great in the hands and Don's staff is kinda flimsy. I almost broke it. Joint stiffness varied from figure to figure but none are in danger of falling over. Overall I am happy with these. Mine were $55 shipped from China.

Found the Marvel Legends Spider-Man revision case today at my TRU, so I snagged Toxin, Spider-Girl, and Boomerang. No sign of the X-Men 5 pack yet, and still no Legacy Dragonzord, but they did have the Legacy Green/White Ranger Morpher, and the Legacy diecast Dragon Dagger, which I was super surprised at how good it looked and how much that fucker weighed. At $80 though that'll have to be a maybe purchase.

A local collectible convention here in Southern California called "Frank and Sons". They usually get in the figures a few weeks before others get them in.

lovely cellphone pic, but Samus and I agree--the Metroid Figma is loving amazing. Hand swaps were incredibly easy, too, compared to some older Figmas and other random figures I have sitting around.


EDIT: Add me to the list of people looking to buy Carnage and Spider-Woman if anyone finds extras (preferably not at TRU prices).

I got the Link Figma figure a week or so back and really want to pick up that Samus too but I have that old 7" SNES Samus that came out years ago. The Link figure is phenomenal too, I really hope they continue to make more high profile Nintendo characters.

I never liked those Turtle action figures because the bandanas were all the same color. My TMNT knowledge is from the 80's TV show and the live action movies - were the bandanas all red in the original comic or something?

The original comic series had red-only bandanas.

The cartoon and movies had individually colored bandanas.

Well you can get the Neca style figures with the different style headbands. I posted a picture of the group on Facebook and my friend asked "Why are they all Raphael?"

I have no real attachment to the comics but I love the red bandanna on all four turtles. Never understood why people got so upset the comic based figures were like that.

Toy Faire offering from Funko.

The Fantastic Mr.Fox figures are out of nowhere for myself - can't wait to scoop that set up. Hopefully they arrive locally as shipping to Canada is a bitch.

Their POP! line is loving insane - it's like EVERYTHING EVER. Guardians of the Galaxy, Ghostbusters, Arrested Development, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Goonies, Buffy. How the gently caress did they get all these licenses?!

This is the first I'm seeing of the Mystery Minis line and I really like some of those. The POP! stuff never did anything for me, though.

I was so excited to find him earlier this week but was super disappointed to see that he didn't have any liquid in him. Half the fun of 80s Mutagen Man was seeing the bubbles in his tank, made it more realistic.

Holy crap that is a lot. My girlfriend and I got each other White Walker Pop figures for Christmas a couple years ago, but I might have to pick at least that Slimer.

I wish Sloth was better in the Goonies line. Groot is pretty drat cool. Tobias Funke as a Blue Man? Hmmm, I just saw Blue Man Group in Chicago last week and hated it and love Arrested Development. I might have to get that. Judge Doom from Roger Rabbit with the crazy eyes looks interesting as well.

You can and should! Please note that it is not watertight, however, and if your cat knocks it over it'll slowly leak all over your deck while you're at work. Hypothetically.

My TMNT NECA knock offs are awesome but all of them except Raph have their feet switched around! I've never repaired a figure and these ankle joints look weird. I'm not sure if the "boil and pop" method will work.

Today we went to check out awesome local toystore Intergalactic Toys's new store and it was excellent and my buddy bought me this as a birthday present
