I'm always tempted to pick up more effects like it, but I haven't found a reasonably cheap way to pick them up. B&N only ever seems to have the red flames. I'll probably have to do an Amazon order or something.

Yeah, I might have to swing by my local B&N and see if they have them. If I could get them for a decent price, I'd snag them for new ML Phoenix and old ML Phoenix/old ML Dark Phoenix. FLAMES EVERYWHERE.

Vegastar posted:Apart from the mind boggling material used for Iceman, these are loving great. I'd assume his plastic is different because he's translucent. I've always found that to be the case, that clear plastic feels gummier. I actually like the look of him, but he's aggravating to get into any pose because of how rubbery he feels.

A little while back someone posted in the panel thread some TMNT stuff (Mutanimals) I liked and that spiraled into me reading a bunch of Ninja Turtles comics. And then me preordering this:![]() I saw the preview stuff of Krang on toyark and hopefully I'll be off this trip by the time that hits.

Local TRU showed the civil war three pack available for in store pickup so I drove over. Of course it was not on the shelf, no place for it at all. They had the 12" captain America though who looked goofy. So I came home and bought the three pack for I. Store pickup and will go by and grab it tomorrow. Weird that they do it that way but at least I got home.

I can't imagine any of you would remember, but I've been trying to find a cheap DC Universe Classics Captain Cold for a while, just because I've always liked the character, it seemed like the best version out there, and my DC collection (a combination of DCUC and pre-2011 DC Direct) is pretty much complete except for him. Don't get me wrong -- I'm not a completist -- I just collect characters I really like, who I have some kind of long-standing attachment to. Well, my $10 figure finally arrived, and... I'm glad I didn't pay more than $10. I was well aware of the figure's flaws, but they became so much more striking to me after handling my first DCUC figure in over a year, since all of mine just stand on display, collecting dust. Plus, I have become spoiled by the quality of Marvel Select. It was hard getting Snart to stand up on his own. Each leg has a thigh swivel, and the ankles have a forward/backward hinge, but there were no cuts at the boot line, nor "ankle rockers," which have totally become a necessary point of articulation, even in Transformers. I knew about his permanent scowl, when I think of Snart/Cold as a smirking, smug, "too cool for school" kind of bad guy thanks to the great Wentworth Miller. But his hand barely holds his cold gun, to the point where I wish it was just permanently sculpted into his grip. And all the white areas on his costume -- fur lining around the hood, the icicle-looking "shawl" around his neck and shoulders (a separate rubbery piece), the boots, and gloves -- are all a dirty gray rather than what colorists have always presented as gleaming, clean, clinical white, making him look like some kind of snarling hobo in dirty pajamas. Am I disappointed? A little. Am I surprised? No. If this figure was awesome, I would have bought it back when it came out. But I'm a fan, and I own almost all my other favorite characters, so I guess I had to take the plunge. If the DCC Icons Cold blows it away (if they ever show it), maybe I'll upgrade a year from now, or whenever it comes out. But even Mattel could do a much better job than this all those years ago -- their DCUC Beetle and Booster were fine, and their Starmen, Question, Captain Atom, Deadshot, and Captain Boomerang were the definitive versions.

From the pictures online, his only downside appeared to be his holster - it just looked out of place, like it was blowing in the wind for no reason. I like Lenny, and I was happy with having his retro Mego-style figure.

There's another Hong Kong toy show starting up today, should be a few reveals there. Already pictures of Hot Toys Dr. Strange out, CW Spidey is likely, and ROTJ Luke. Probably more. Edit: They're supposed to have Rogue One stuff too. Edit 2: The guy got some wires crossed I guess. What they have are the actual Rogue One costumes on display, not figures.

Found a nick fury and two black panthers at TRU today. (They were stocking yesterday when I picked up my civil war 3 pack so I thought I'd stop back by in case they had put out the xmen wave). Finally I can have dirk anger in plastic form!

My store probably won't ever get that wave as we have ten Cap Wolves alone! Man that Red Onslaught wave was a failure.

Shame it got canceled. That figure was amazing. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Hogan comes back soon. That Zombie line has a lot of potential just sucks with the exception of that Hogan figure they are all so tame.

Ha, I don't know if you're joking here or not, but these figures are sort-of based on photo galleries they've posted on WWE.com every Halloween of a bunch of wrestlers photoshopped into zombies and the recurring joke most years is that there's a normal photo of Undertaker thrown in there.

Finally after looking for what seems like an eternity I found a World of Nintendo Metroid for $14.99 at Toys r Us. They had Ganondorf there as well. And on the subject of WWE toys, I also saw a bunch of Network Spotlight Austin figures in his Ringmaster gimmick. Looked gloriously goofy.

New World of Nintendo 4" figures are showing up in Wal-Marts, either near the Yo-kai Watch stuff or in the aisle over near the nerf stuff:![]() As always, appreciate if somebody would grab them for me if they see them, specifically Zelda, Skull Kid, Red Toad and Slippy. I have a 6" Metroid up for trade if anybody finds them.

Man, I finally had time to hit up Tradesmart (the hastings spin off place) for it's going out of business sale, hoping to score a Chappie on the cheap. But no Chappie. Chappie gone. Those gently caress mothers. Tons of three zero Heisenbergs though. Almost got one, but I wasn't feeling it. Really wanted that Chappie. Ah well.
