I wouldn't. They'll probably be mattycollector.com exclusive and if they sell like the MOTU stuff the only way you're getting one after the initial offering is ebay scalpers.

Which is even worse because they'll be $19.99 + $8.00 shipping each time.

The Punisher Mighty Muggs are out in full force in Illinois. He was actually the first Mugg that I ever bought, I mean, you just can't pass him up; he's got alot of charm.

Hey, anybody who has the Watchmen figures, there's this little piece that comes with Rorschach (and maybe the others, haven't opened them yet) that looks like a 2 cm long parallelogram and I can't figure out what the hell it's for. It must have something to do with the base that he comes with, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. Help?

I think it's for attaching all of the bases together.

Wildcat and Mantis are the ones with varients. It seems their BAFs are 6 pieces now (probably made the head a separate piece from the body), and the one A list hero (Green Arrow) will come with a display base.

Also, holy poo poo, look at that 30" anti monitor figure. Looks to be some sort of mail away promotion.

And this guy is too awesome. I don't care for half of the characters in that set, but I may get them just for Chemo



Oh man DCUC 9 looks like the best wave since Grundy. Also re: the display bases, a lot of the core DC superheroes are getting re-released with display bases instead of the BAF parts, from series 1 Batman to the Flash that's not even out yet. afaik they're being mixed in with cases of new DCUC lines so they'll always be a recognizable superhero on the shelves.

Alrighty.. gonna buy the poo poo out the Gi Joe sized Iron Man and Captain Umerica.. and the Spidey and Friends 3-Pack.







Also which ones are YOU going to vote for?

I'm gonna vote for as many half naked chicks as possible so we can get a set which will be dubbed "Tit Wave"

Moonstone, Psylocke, Dagger, Stepford Trio.. heeeh... and Paper Bag Spidey? :/

I might adopt the smaller scale if they look decent in person, as I have been disappointed with the hasbro ML offerings and not collecting anything is boring. Especially if I can get a good psylocke, blink, or dagger character out of this stupid poll.

I would love a Domino in the 3.75 scale. ( Really all of the new X-Force.) Batroc, however, better not make it.

I like the characters that always have a poo poo-load of weaponry; I can't wait to make a little weapon cache display for Punisher and Deadpool. I've always wanted to do that with the 6" line, but it's nigh-on impossible to find weapons in that size.

In 3.75, however, those things are super easy/cheap to find.

Also, I'll be able to more feasibly make an Iron Man armory. Always wanted to do that, too, but the size was somewhat of an issue. (Also I'm kinda lazy about it.)

The chances of that are about as slim as having your balls ripped out and force feed back to you by a monkey.

I just got a chance to look at that picture of the Pick-A-Hero for the first time on a real screen and not on my iPod, and I would kill for a Hood figure. I'd also really like a good Mary Jane, as the one I have from the first Spider-Man movie series is just so-so.

Are the ones on that poster the ones people that can be voted for? Because Blink isn't even on that list :colbert:.

Well I got some info today from someone that is connected that "the 4" line is a way to test market the reaction for some of these 6" figures. I think Toy Fair should have more 6"ers".

I am still not holding my breath. I am not going to say who said it but the person would have no reason to lie but I am not sure if he should have said anything to me and I don't want to get him into trouble.
