drat, their sculpting just bets better and better, that is an amazing looking figure.

Also, anyone else picking up these Marvel Grab-Zags? They're mystery bagged prizes, but it's pretty easy to at least feel out which ones are figures. The figures are pretty cool, like something usually sold in Japanese vending machines. If anyone else is picking these up I'm up for trading. They have a general Marvel version out now and Avengers hitting the shelves.



Found some today at my Toys r us, grabbed 5, got 2 green goblins, 2 cyclops, and a normal spiderman. Not bad I only wanted spidey and goblin:)

Black Widow is popping up on eBay (at insane scalper prices, of course) and youtube reviews of the figure have indicated that apparently her wave of figures has started to hit retail.

Is that the one with grapple blast?

I'm certainly interested, thanks! :) What store did you find it at, so I can keep my eyes open for the next day or so?

Also is the one you found okay in the paint-apps department? I don't mean to be all anal-retentive, but I hate sloppy paint stuff. I'm talking major stuff, like crossed eyes and poo poo like that.

I found it at a back woods Walmart, One of her eyes is on her chin, is that ok? :haw:

Has anyone had any luck finding the 6" Avengers wal-mart exclusive figures? I have three by me and every single one of them have empty shelves. I really want the Hulk, but it seems like I will never find one.

There is a Walmart by me that has them, I can check tomorrow to see if the Hulk is there if you want.

I love how we're all constantly hating on Mattel. S'kinda funny to a degree.

In other Mattel hate, I picked up 2 of the new Ninja Turtle figures. They are awesome, imo. This may not seem like Mattel hate, but the fact I got TWO fully articulated figures with a buttload of accessories (more than was necessary, really) for UNDER $20 made me REALLY question Mattel's business practices. :confused:

I saw them today and was on the fence, I think I'm going to go back and get Don and Mike. Weren't they coming out with retro ones too? Would love a retro Casey j
Jones and Krang :)

Hey again folks, I'm keeping up with the e-mails and requests. I'll ship the stuff out sometime this week. I'll probably stop the giveaway around Wednesday or so, I'll post another update around then. Thanks for the interest everyone!

What they told me at Toy Fair when I asked that same question is they are testing the waters with Bebop and Rocksteady being super-articulated figures. If it does well they will look into more.

Did they say if they would be available in other stores? Or are they just TRU like the 4 classic turtles were?

I can only hope that this will have huge demand and will cause Toynami to renew production of their 5-6" Futurama line that they've basically cancelled at this point. I don't think demand will affect any decisions at all though. They've reportedly had these box sets pretty much ready for a long time but haven't released them. So it's not like they just recently produced this.

Oh man I wish they would do another line. I loved the first ones, I had to wait almost a year for the full series with the BAF Robot Santa but was it worth it. I am very sad I was never able to get a Zapp Brannigan for the Nixon head. It would rock it there was a Nixon/Agnew box set.

So my buddy found the Ray Stantz and Egon Spengler 12" Ghostbusters 2 pack from MattyCollector at Big Lots tonight, I went and checked my local one and found the same 2 Pack, and a bunch of MOTUC figures like Megator, Orko, and the Skeletor vs. Molarr pack. GB 2 Pack was $30, and each of the MOTUC figures were $10 each. Just thought I'd pass this along cause I couldn't believe it. No sign of the Peter Venkman and Winston Zeddemore pack at either Big Lots.

Thanks for the tip, snag a Orko w/Prince Adam and Man-E-Faces at my Big Lots. They had quite a few different MOTU, but no Ghostbusters sadly. My plans for tomorrow is to drive to ever Big Lots I can find

Went and checked my Big Lots again today, found a whole mess of MOTUC figures, Chief Carnivus, Catra, Sy-Klone, The Faceless One, Icarius, Adora, and Clawful. So they're still coming, keep checking your Big Lots.

From what I read off a He-man board, this is the list of confirmed ones people have seen.

Adora
Battleground Teela
Chief Carnivus
Catra
Clawful
Count Marzo
Faceless One
Icarius
King Grayskull
Leech
Man-E-Faces
Megator
Mo-Larr/Skeletor
Moss Man
Orko with Prince Adam - both standard and color changing versions, color changing being rarer
Snout Spout
Sy-Klone
Thunder Punch He-Man

Roboto is rumored to be floating around also. I hope it's true, I'm looking for him and Snout Spout since they were two of favorite figures as a kid. Also hoping that maybe Trapjaw or Mer-man will pop up.

I don't think anyone from Playmates confirmed or hinted at anything past the movie turtles. From my meetings with them they seem really cautious about the whole "Classics" line.

I would buy the poo poo out of a Classics Slash, Krang(walker or android), and Casey Jones. I'm so hoping to find Rocksteady and Bepop.

Will Target raise or lower prices depending on the area? My local Target has the ASM figures for 14.88, my sister picked up one for me by her job and she was charged 19.99. If it was Carnage I wouldn't mind but drat a 25% difference is nuts.

I ran into the Spider-Man legends figures for the first time last night. It took all of my willpower to resist picking up ASM2, Superior and Carnage. That Carnage figure is really nice, but I was a little upset that he didn't include an axe-hand (if he had, I would've snagged him). One thing I didn't realize was that there is a Julia Carpenter version of Spider-Woman in that wave. I haven't seen much talk about her--how rare is she, and is the figure any good?

Any chance on grabbing that carnage if it's still there?

Finally, action figures I can inject directly into my bloodstream.

Well I found these at Target last night. Micro Muggs single boxed. They were 2.99 each. The box was on the slanted shelf under the new spiderman display.

Man, I didn't know how much I needed another tiny MODOK until right now. Are they blind boxes?

At least when I get tired of these they won't take up near as much storage space as the Mighty Muggs did.

Yeah they are blind box, just like those Iron Man micro Muggs were when the movie came out.

Stopped by a new local shop toy/collectable shop. Kinda small mix of new and old. A lot of stuff you'd find clearanced out a like Target or walmart. After awhile of looking and the clerk asking me if I needed help like 10 times, I felt really awkward and figured I should get somethIng, so I saw a minimates ghostbusters set I didn't have behind the counter. It was reasonably priced, looked at it quick due to small talk with the cashier. I didn't get a receipt, wtf I need that for. I get it home, take it out of the bag and well here ya go.

Went to TRU tonight to look for the Glow in the Dark Mr. Burns, which they didn't have the series 3 figures yet, but I noticed the retro turtles. I know someone said they were out again so re-release. This time they had the foot soldier and Krang in his lil walker. Picked up Krang, he is sweet. Hoping they re-release the foot tall Krang android now.
