I figured most of the people that hit the general discussion don't care about toys, so I thought it'd be nice to have a general toy thread here, especially for toy lines that take a lot from the TMNT like Toxic Crusaders, Ghostbusters, Biker Mice, Bucky O'hare, Earthworm Jim, etc... Or toy lines that TMNT took elements from like Masters of the Universe, GI Joe, etc...

Just to talk about random toys in general including random bits from the Ninja Turtle line as well as long as it doesn't fall under something in the stickied topics, or Post your finds/buys, and take pics of random toys in your collection. If the mods think this is a bad idea then feel free to close the thread.... but you'll make baby Jesus cry :cry:

Thought I'd post this to start it out:

Random Toy thread ehh...hmmm well here we go.

G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO.(Hasbro, 1982-1994.)

It had it all. Complex and unique characters who's back-stories leaped off the package at you with the help of the greatly written "File Cards"(written by Joe Comic writer Larry Hama). Cool heroes, awsome villains, packed with accessories, impressive poseability, 12 points on 3 3/4-inch figures!, Ninjas! The action figures alone were enough to keep you playing for hours, but the inclusion of realistic military vehicles from tanks to jeeps, and some never thought of with great detail, firing missiles, etc, playsets were a whole nother story, the two greatest, The U.S.S FLAGG for the Joes and the Terror Drome for the baddies, both giant bases that fit more figures then many kids had, with a crap load of different features that blew kids minds. It's one of the greatest toy lines of all time and a personal favorite and brought out one of the coolest characters ever, "Snake-Eyes".

Is this along the lines of whats supposed to be in this thread? :-?

Yeah totally. Just talk about random toys. Post sightings that you thought were awesome, favorite figures, pics of your collections, whatever.

I too love GI Joe. They were awesome because of the size and price point you could build a plastic army that didn't suck unlike those green non poseable army men. I have a decent size collection, mostly of the older stuff, though I like the JvC,Spytroopers,VvV,DTC stuff too.

I saw this awesome Gremlins Mohawk figure from Neca's cult classics the other day, it rocks!

Neca's cult classics line rocks, wave 3 is going to include DIE HARD: JOHN MCCLANE! I've waited for a figure of Bruce Willis from that movie for what seems like ever. Finally getting one, I hope it does't suck.

I've been buying a lot of Star Wars ROTS figures, anyone else get caught up in that line with all the hype around it?

11-18-2005, 10:27 PM

NECA is sweet, the cult classics line is really cool, love the detail put into the figures so much.

As for ROTS figures, I didn't go after everyone, but one of them that I did make sure I got was this one.

Yeah I have that figure, best Obi Wan figure probably ever. I really like the ball joint hip. I don't like the boots though, you can see the problem in that pic. The join that movies the feet isn't colored and looks tan whereas the rest of the boot is brown. It just looks funky. Otherwise he's great, and probbaly the best figure to come out of ROTS.

I also liked the VOTC line because that had more memorable characters like Luke, Han, Chewie, Lando, Leia, Darth, the droids, etc...

I have the one on the left. That new venom looks too upper body bulky, and seems to have a lot of garbage detailing whereas the one on the far right is nice and smooth. Unfortunately that one looks too much like Sabretooth, otherwise it's the best venom.

My favorite figure from Marvel Legends is still the first wave Iron Man. Anyone else notice how after wave 1 or 2 they started using ball joints for the hips, whereas the Ironman and Captain america have a different type of joint there that looks more normal?

Anyone remember Gargoyles? That toon/toyline needs a revival already. Done in the new action cartoon animation style (TMNT, The Batman, etc...) It could be really awesome. I just want super poseable Gargoyles, that would be sweet!

11-21-2005, 05:18 PM

I remember Gargoyles. Those figures were really well done for their time. I remember wheh I was real little and I had this guardian type of person (think childcare but at someone's house) and there was this other kid there and he brought his Gargoyles action figures whenever he could. We spent hours playin' with 'em and spendin' time together. Too bad I only have one Gargoyle figure. The Goliath one with the armor and the projectile gauntlets. I don't remeber the exact name of him.

Anyone remeber the X-Men figures from the '90s? I really enjoyed playin' with those figures especially the variants and the robot fighter ones. Those figures were great when they came out. Today I'm still lookin' around for a couple of the figures I've seen on websites that look really appealin' to me. I bought Weapon X Wolverine (1992) from the last toy show I went to. He was cheap and I'm glad some of the more intrestin' figures are still out there.

Yep, I had every X-Men, didn't get many of the "other" characters except for Cable and Deadpool, etc, I had the Blackbird jet, Wolverines jeep, the 13 in. Sentinel, The HQ playset. The figures were pretty good for the day, nice detail and articulation. Major part of my toy play in the early 90's.

As were the Spider-man Animated Series toy's, I had all them too.

BigApple3AM

11-21-2005, 09:45 PM

I had a CRAPload of the 90's x-men figures, still do somewhere probably. I boughty 3 of them at a convention not too long ago. Wolverine (red and orange), Deadpool, and pre x-men tas and ironman tas Ironman with removable armor. This brought back a lot of memories, thanks for the reminder. I need to go back and get some more of my childhood figures.

I've actually never owned a Gargoyles figure, I used to loathe them because I thought they were too much like Turtles, but eventually I got into the show a bit. I remember bringing over my newly bought Metal Armor Leonardo to this kids house and we watched Gargoyles.

Didn't have as many Spider-man TAS figures, but I did have my fair share. Shocker was and still is my favorite of the line.

BigApple3AM

11-21-2005, 11:31 PM

I haven't cross-connected figures in battles, in fact the only toy I've "played with" recently are 3.75 inch GI joe figures. Those things are awesome to throw around and just have a blast. Unfortunately I keep breaking them so I gotta chill from playing with any toys.

Haven't played with TMNT since I was a kid. The new toys are just not "play" friendly, or I just don't care about them, and the old toys are stashed away in boxes. I do push Toon Leo's button every friggin day to make his eyes pop out. I love that action feature to this day.

I still think that playing with toys is no worse than playing a video game or an RPG or writing a fanfic or something. Nothing wrong with it, stimulates the imagination. I bet Lucas was playing with some toys and was like "hmm I should give my toys names and give them a universe" and thus star wars was born ;) (kidding, I don't know where star wars came from, probably a mushroom or lsd or something)

11-22-2005, 06:03 PM

Here's a question, did anyone else ever have a giant battle with all your figures, I remember I had TMNT Vs. G.I. Joe Vs. X-Men Vs. Power Rangers Vs. Spider-man Vs. STAR WARS, heroes and villain in an all out war in the basement. If I remember right I think I actually had the Villains from each property join together, then the corresponding heroes joined forces with each other, the heroes won, but there were a lot of casualties that day, I think I had all the Power Rangers die, TMNT suffered the lowest loss of men, god it was so much fun.

I've done somethin' like that before. I had my good guy Marvel Legends team up with Master Chief, Spider-Men, and the Turtles. They fought Magneto, Doc Ock, Cameron Hodge, Spiral, Mojo, Venom, Kraven, Hobgoblin, and Sabertooth. I took pics of it but my digital camera doesn't work any more so I can't share 'em.

BigApple3AM

Yeah I paid a bit more for him, but the condition looks so great that I splurged. I never had this figure, the earliest cobra commander I ever had was the hooded mail away from '83, and that I got from Yahoo Auctions back when people used to actually use that site. This one is most definitely my favorite, I love the sky blue, the helmet, and just everything about him. Doesn't hurt that this was the most prominent suit the commander used in the cartoon.

They really REALLY need to reissue this guy so I can have one to fiddle with and put on display. This one is most definitely going in the storage box to never be touched or looked at, which is a shame, but I'm just glad to know I have it.

I remember being on the technodrome before the new revival and we literally had nothing, no new toys, comics, cartoons, ANYTHING and when I saw this it was the first toy I really couldn't wait to have, but wait I did as it was almost a year before it came out. The finished product I think looks better overall, but this would have been perfect for old school mirage customs.

I remember going to KB because I was calling around stores asking if they got TMNT toys yet, and they said they only had the new 12" figures. I drove out an hour away from my house, and bought a case of the 4 figures (they even gave me the box) and got an extra Leo. Them was awesome times.

Barnyard Commandos

In the heartland of America, the reminants of a secret military experiment have been burried for many years. This was soon to change. One day, strange things started happening down on the farm. Farmer Bob's latest crop of grain had an odd glow to it. After eating some of the grain the Pigs and Sheep started acting kindof funny. Some started driving the tractors around like tanks, others started digging trenches. Soon after an all out war erupted, between the Barnyard Commandos!!!

It's basically the same body but with a different more mirage old school head sculpt, similar to what we got with the statue. I too would buy it only because the chances of us getting that head sculpt are zip to none.

BARNYARD COMMANDOS! I love those guys, a similar toyline put out at about the same time by Mattel called Food Fighter was awesome too. It was like hamburgers and cookies vs hot dogs and tacos. They had arms and legs and guns like GI Joe almost.

Anyone remember Mighty Max the cartoon? I didn't like the toys but the cartoon ROCKED!

I don't remember Mighty Max a whole lot but I have one of the playsets from it. I have the triceratops one and it's missin' most of the pieces. I also got some of the little playsets from McDonald's and some of 'em at garage sales.

Is that head sculpt a variant? I'd like to see a Mikey one like that. I'd buy him even if he was hard to find.

Real Ghostbusters.

Based off the cool cartoon which was based from the first hit movie, the toy line gave us the four Busters them selves Egon, Ray, Peter, and Winston, and few ghosts, but the line was bombarded by endless repaints and figures with "Frightened" action features which made the guy's seem like scaredy cats which was not cool, also many cool ghosts from the cartoon like "The Boogyman", "The Sandman", and "The Headless Horseman" didn't get figures. the line was saved by the two story Firehouse HQ and the Ecto-1 vehicle. They could have used a little more articulation too.

Made in 1988 by Mattel, Food Fighters were an army of hot dogs, french fries, pancakes, pizzas, hamburgers and other leftovers.

I finally picked up Gen today at Target, only one they had, last figure I needed for the tmnt 2k3 line.

I saw all the new Transformers: Cybertron, but honestly I wasn't impressed, they looked neat but the Alternators are where it's really at. Anything cybertron just pales in comparison unfortunately.

Finally picked up the GI Joe TRU exclusive 6 pack: The arctic mission force pack with snake eyes, frostbite, mirage, stalker, backblast, and one other dude who's name escapes me. I think it's a pretty decent set actually. It snowed today, first REAL snow we've had this year so it was ironic that I picked up the arctic set right before it snowed.

Picked up the turtle tracker, the zanramon cruiser, and some turtle pez (leo and don). I got the two vehicles at half off so it was $20 for both of them, a sweet score I thought.

My best pick up of black friday (today) is the laptop I'm posting on, IT ROCKS!

"Marvel Super Heroes"

Made by Toy Biz in 1990-94.

Althoguh detail and poseability were minimal, the wide variety of characters in the line were "Marvel Legends" in their own right. It saw the first toy appearence of big stars like "The Punisher", "Venom", and "The Silver Surfer", as well as nobodies like Annihilus, Deathlok, and U.S. Agent. They also had cool action features. The Hulk bent steel, Punisher fired caps all over the place, and Daredevil shook his cane with utter fearlessness. The lines 22 different characters beat out Mego and Mattels previous Marvel assortments by a wide margin. There were also vehicles and playsets.

"C.O.P.S. N Crooks"

Enter a future time where crime is rampant. A national cartel headed by the ever elusive Big Boss is responsible for much of the activity. He has enlisted some of the nations most notorious criminals to do his bidding. They are known to be involved in armed robbery, interstate transportation of stolen goods, extortion, racketeering, counterfeiting schemes, and loan sharking amongst other offenses. The Police were unable to stop the ever increasing crime wave. Thus, the Central Organization of Police Specialists (C.O.P.S. for short) was formed. They work to put the Big Boss and his minions behind bars for good.

Rroduced by Hasbro in 1988, they tied into the cartoon of the same name and characters.

Hasbro's genius idea was to combine cap guns and action figures. Most figures came with a ton of accessories, at least one of which fired caps, and some incorporated the tiny red noisemakers in really cool ways, like Sgt. Mace's cap-firing bazooka or Dr. Badvibes cap-shooting robot. It was the perfect way to capture the action packed mayhem portrayed on the tv series. In addition, each figure was highly poseable(16 points!!!!) in a time when articulated wrists were few and far between. The line also featured a ton of vehicles, both big and small.

On the bad side, many important characters from the cartoon went unmade, including all of the female characters(Sorry Ms. Demeanor.). Additionally, the line had sparse paint apps.

some C.O.P.S and Crooks:

Sgt. Mace, Highway, Longarm, Bowzer and Blitz

C.O.P.S. was probably the coolest toyline second only to the extremely varied G.I. Joe. Every one of those figures had some cool accessory and the line prompted you to buy the vehicles because you could only get a lot of the characters that way.

I have yet to see any mention of Army Ants, GUTS, Air Raiders, Starcom, Dino Riders, or Battle Beasts.

Chef: those are actually pretty cool. I'm surprised at how detailed they are for a toy that's smaller than an inch. Does Mighty max have painted eye balls?! That's insanely detailed for such a small toy. Could you imagine someone trying to make those by hand :D

Weapon: I have Bullet Proof sitting on my shelf, he's one of the 6 toys that are in my room (my toy collection has been moved to the basement). From left to right it's He-man (vintage), Mystic Fury Leo, Vintage Soft Head Leo, Toon Leo (with mystic fury leo's swords), and Bullet Proof. Underneath that shelf is 20th Anniversary Prime, and then the 2 statues I have are in my closet (Leo + Mikey + the first print TMNT #1 I bought for $500....ouch).

They're actually releasing a cops n crooks box set on dvd coming up I think next month. That show really reminds me of the old TMNT show, probably because both shows had episodes written by the same dude... David Wise! I think David was the most prominent writer for the old Turtles toon (my favorite cartoon of all time) and I know 100% he did some COPS episodes too (Case of the Big Frame Up, he's not credited on imdb or tv.com for writing cops, but I have the episode and sure enough in the front it says written by David Wise).

This ones easy, the toy's were based of the cartoon that was based off the extremely gory(and funny) B-movie Toxic Avenger, none of the other characters besides Toxie were in the movie, only the cartoon, they had the basic articulation(same as TMNT), featured pretty good sculpting and paint apps, TMNT vehicle molds were re-used for the line as well.

On a different note, Hasbro is really pissing me off this weekend. I bought a frankenpunker (from a line called xevoz) and when I opened him up and put him together he had two right feet, and no left foot so he's basically missing a foot.

Then today I finally opened the Wraith pirate ship from pirates of dark water, it was one of my favorite toys as a kid, and it ends up having the same problem. I had bought it off eBay recently and it was sealed when I got it, it's a factory error. They gave me two right pieces and no left, so basically I can't build the ship, and I spent over $50+ for this thing.

Barnyard Commandos

In the heartland of America, the reminants of a secret military experiment have been burried for many years. This was soon to change. One day, strange things started happening down on the farm. Farmer Bob's latest crop of grain had an odd glow to it. After eating some of the grain the Pigs and Sheep started acting kindof funny. Some started driving the tractors around like tanks, others started digging trenches. Soon after an all out war erupted, between the Barnyard Commandos!!!

Man, I haven't seen those in years! I used to have a bunch of them, they were pretty cool toys for being non poseable pieces of rubber. Good to see Barnyard Commandos haven't totally forgotten, like Snailiens have.

Hasbro, '88-'89

Mission:
When the sun goes down, the GI JOE NIGHT FORCE squad is ready for action! NIGHT FORCE is a covert team specializing in nighttime surveillance and defensive operations. Missions conducted in the darkness have special problems, which the NIGHT FORCE squad has overcome with enhanced skills, sophisticated hardware and advanced technology. They use the element of surprise to vanquish the enemy, striking under cover of darkness and disappearing into the night, mission accomplished!

Another excuse by Hasbro to re-paint existing characters like Crazylegs, Lt. Falcon, Outback, Psyche-Out, Sneak Peek, and Tunnel Rat. It wasn't that bad of an idea though, and the figures came out rather well in the "Night Vision" deco, plus the re-painted vehicles were as cool as they were originally and they looked great too.

I'm wonderin' if anyone remembers the Big Trouble in Little China action figures that came out in 2002. I'm tryin' to find Jack Burton and the figures are ten dollars a piece and I've seen the set of all six figures go for as much as $150.00. These figures are really rare so the price has to do with it. If anyone has any of 'em, can you post pics? That would be great. I learned about these figures in a while ago when I was in a book store with a friend and I looked through a toy magazine. It showed Jack Burton and it said he can go for as much as forty-five dollars or whatever.

Those are expensive, I've never seen the movie though I'm familiar with it, Kurt Russell correct? I like that movie poster because it's totally 80's. Back when they used to paint the movie posters instead of just photoshopping pictures.

11-27-2005, 04:43 PM

Yes, Kurt Russell played Jack Burton. The movie was on Fox Movie Channel yesterday on Directv. I think that's the network that shows it the most. I have the movie on DVD and I recommend you check it out. I just want Jack Burton; not the whole set. He's the character that Casey Jones was based off of.

Hasbro '92-'93

Mission:
These swift and silent commandos are the true elite forces for G.I.Joe and Cobra! Each Ninja warrior is fully capable of neutralizing an adversary in milliseconds with his spring-action, martial arts moves and lethal weapons!

So the Joe's plan was to get local ninja's Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, and a bunch of new ninja recruits to battle Cobra ninja baddies like Dice and Slice. The figures from series one kept the "o-ring" style waist construction, as did everyone in series two except Snake Eyes and Scarlett, which made them look rather stupid/cheap. Ohhh yeah and each had the "Spring-action" arm, which was kinda useless, but fit the bill.

Most people can't even give ninja force away, eBay probably has moc figures going for about 2 bucks if you find the right auction. I personally like them as they remind me of good times, but most of the earlier joe collectors ('82-on) don't give a crap.

If you want recent ninja joes I highly suggest the sigma six snake eyes and storm shadow, they're 8" ninjas with tons of gear and accessories. If you like the 4" figures more then Toys R Us should still have the updated slice and dice 2 pack from the Valor Vs. Venom line. They changed the name to slice and slash, but they're still cool looking ninjas (sorta). Most stores (except Wal-Mart and Target) should stil have the Ninja Battles 5 pack that comes with a playset and DVD for $20. Kb has it on sale for $10 I think. The best ninja is the latest Snake Eyes from Valor Vs. Venom, comes with a swamp rat. He is one of the coolest figures of Snake Eyes, EVER.

Here are links to all of the figures I'm talking about:

Hope those help, you might find something cool.

Thanks for the recommendations, y'all. Those firgures are somethin' that I'll keep an eye out for. The Sigma 6 figures never really appealed to me cuz I don't watch the show and I'm particulary fond of the 3.75 inchers. I found that G.I. Joe vs. Cobra 3.75" Ninja Battles Figure Set on toysrus.com for $7.98. Not a bad price for five figures, a diorama, a comic book and a DVD. I saw the set at Toys R Us a few months ago but I only had enough money for three TMNT figures. I got a third one free so technically I only paid for two figures. I'll be gettin' the set with some of my Christmas money besides some of the newest Marvel Legends.

I have at least fifteen of the 2001-2002 Joes. I took most of 'em apart cuz I got inspired and made some custom ninja figures. Somethin' that I'll regret doin' is that I painted at least four parts with model paint so they'd look more like ninjas. I sorta wish I didn't do that but oh well. I hafta live with it. I'm tryin' to get 'em all back together so the parts aren't mixed up. I made this really rad ninja that has Snake Eyes' head, Nunchaku's chest and arms, Shipwreck's waist, Cobra B.AT.'S thighs, and Dusty's calves. Dusty's calves are painted a reddish color. The weapons he has are: a katana, Storm Shadow's swords, Snake's back sheath, two knives, a sniper rifle, and some gun I dunno the name of. I wish I could post pics of this figure. He came out real nice.

I had a good time at the toy show yesterday. I only spent twenty-two bucks and I walked out with twenty-nine dollars in my pocket. They had losta G.I Joes, Marvel Legends, Star Wars, TMNT, and vintage X-Men/ Spider-Man figures. The figures I bought were cheap and I got four of 'em. The figures I bought are Bebop 1988 (soft head), First Appearance Grey Hulk from Marvel Legends, Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe Ninja Force, and Movie Maniacs Evil Ash from Army of Darkness. All my figures except for Bebop (the plastic on his card was smashed and the card has some wear on it) were MOCs.

Dunno bout VHS but I got the DVD at Borders for $8, and saw the same DVD at Bestbuy for the same price. It's not the best quality transfer as it's done by Troma studios and not a real DVD transfer company, but it's not terrible either. The show is funny because it's a LOT like the old Turtles cartoon, even the end credits share the same text font and style of season 4 turtles episodes (y'know the ending with leo and the turtles going down a rope, not the ending with the turtles and april standing underground where the technodrome was).

The animation is a little worse than the ninja turtle's animation, but overall it's worth the $8 for 4 episodes.

Yeah Troma did the DVDs, they're the ones that own the show and the movie it's based off of (Toxic Avenger) they're a B-rate movie studio (maybe even C rate lol) so it's not like they really were in demand, it's just Troma looking to cash in on a couple bucks.

Still it's a worthy series. I wrote a review for the show on www.tv.com and to sum it up basically it's a total satire cartoon making fun of its own genre, just not done properly enough that it got canned in one season. I think the Mask cartoon is very similar to this one but with better direction.

Looks pretty cool, the archangel looks the same as the one from the last x-men line though.

I'm sorta sick of marvel legends, they ball joint shoulders and hips are starting to really get to me after someone pointed them out, before that I was fine with the toys.

Actually the first wave Ironman is probably the best imo, I don't know why they got rid of those types of hips as they were far better. I used to be all for super articulated, now I'm only for it if it looks good and doesn't compromise the sculpt too much.

On a somewhat related note I picked up my first (and probably only) King Kong action figure, it's the one that says superposeable on it, I figured since it was the last one and it was on sale I'd go for it. The King Kong playset actually looks pretty decent.

I'm gald this figure doesn't have a plastic waist cape and neck cape. It's good that Hasbro tried somethin' new. I got tired of the plastic capes after a while. The Vader that I bought has a nylon waist and neck cape. Plus, this figure has great attention to detail and textures on his suit. I like his lightsaber attack action feature. Too bad the Darth Vaders with action feartures are few and far between. He's one of my favorite Vader figures besides the Bespin Duel one.

I saw this guy at a toy show I was at, and he was only $3, he had all his stuff and was fairly mint condition, I should have grabbed him. Would be something nostalgic and rare to have.

Heres one of the enemies, "Moltar":

Anyone remember Bucky O'hare and or Pirates of Dark Water?
Yes!

If I remember right, Bucky had a lot of unproduced toy's including the main female character "Jenny", it's too bad really, it didn't have much of an impact.

Crystar is what made me a fan of translucent toys. Most of it was made with flimsy plastic but it looked friggin awesome. Moltar stood out weirdly since he was solid and you couldn't see through him. Even the dragons and castle were translucent if I remember correctly.

As far as MSIA go, I stopped collecting a little bit after the G Gundam came out. I mostly collected the villains so it was much easier on the wallet. Since I started on SD Gundam. THat line is like toy crack to me. I think i have oodles of that stuff. I think I'm up to 32 zakos and 29 leos as well as numerous Cobramarus to paint into the Ningun. I just really wish they would have released those Dogas. Those were my favorite SD designs.

Bucky O'Hare did have a lot of unreleased stuff. Here's a athread i created over at actionfigureinsider that has lots of links to unreleased stuff, Bucky O' Hare included.

I went to Toys R Us today and I bought the G.I. Joe Ninja Battles Playset along with Marvel Legends Logan from the Legendary Riders Series. The Ninja Battles Playset was cheap cuz it was $3.48 which is a good deal. That's cheaper than I saw it for on the web site. I dunno how long that deal will be goin' on. Glad I got back to buyin' G.I. Joes. Version two of Shipwreck is a vintage figure I'm keepin' an eye out for. I shoulda bought him at the last toy show I went to, but I decided to spend a limited amount and I didn't wanna spend over twenty-two dollars. Maybe he'll be at the next toy show in March.

Cool thread Starscream, though the majority of the figures I was interested in I've already heard about except the predator figures. I would KILL for human figures from the first movie.

Crystar was before my time, but when I saw the figures in an issue of Toyfare I thought they were really cool. I have a couple comics but no figures. I almost broke down and got Crystar (the only one I really want) at wizard world but when I went back to get him he was gone.

I'm currently watching Pirates of Dark Water and I have no idea why it was cancelled. It's a very interesting cartoon, though it doesn't have the same charm that cartoons like TMNT have. Still it should have lasted more than 2 seasons. I read on www.piratesofdarkwater.net that it's due to poor handeling of the cartoon overseas that caused bad ratings (there was almost a year inbetween the airdates for the first part of season 2 and the second part). I still remember unwrapping the huge box under the Christmas tree and get the awesome Wraith pirate ship. I used to use it for Lego pirates and turtles and other misc. action figures.

Weapon X

Nice web site for Pirates of Dark water, I had isssue two and three of the comic, and the SNES game. I never had any of the toy's, not sure why, I don't even remember ever seeing them, but a flee market out here, theres a building and one of the sections has a bunch of action figures(no TMNT), and they have every Pirates figure MOC.

That wal-mart wave isn't out already is it? That guy already has the figures!

I can't believe that's a wal-mart exclusive wave? That's insane! Not just one figure but a whole wave, of all brand new sculpts? Man this is spectacular.

What are those vs. pics figures? Are they 6" or super hero showdown? I'm hoping regular size! That Hulk looks amazing, and KINGPIN!!!

I still think the young avengers boxset looks ridiculously bad.

I think I better buy some stock in toybiz as they're getting all my $$ next year anyway.

Yes and no. Jesse Falcon, one of the heads of the line posted the explaination of these figures over at the RTM Buzz board.

"Ok I wanted to check with out HK office before I posted this because I saw the images of the W-M wave last night on line and the person who posted states that they were found in the states. Apparently there was a sales meeting where 1 pallet (or) 5 of what's referred to as a PDQ were rushed to make this sales meeting and were not intended to be turned around to be sold at retail! I'm Not sure why this was done but that very limited amount of product is now at retail in that one state and probably at that one store.

What's really frustrating is that this lines not in production yet and that product that was rushed together ONLY for that sales meeting and does not represent the final working product. The deco articulation and function and fit of the product is NOT finished.

You will all see the FINAL product and much more on Sunday.

Best,

Jesse Falcon"

Taken from www.fantofan.jp where it is up for preorder.

It's cool but not $50 cool, especially since it's the size of a microman/gi joe figure. But die cast parts and accessories make me really want it for some reason.

Still I'm 1 figure behind on the Alternators, Swerve. Just got Rollbar and Ricochet yesterday. Waiting for Prime and Mirage even if Prime is going to suck as a Dodge Ram.

I had all the sigma six figures up until they released the variants of Duke and Snake Eyes (and now Storm Shadow has a variant as well). Skipped Long Range but got Cobra Commander. I liked them but the price was insane so I've dropped it.

Nice score with the tac ops trooper, it's one of the very few I need as well. Never saw it, ever. I did get Scorch the other day, last one and it was on the floor at Wal-Mart, in great condition which was weird since it was on the floor. What made it really cool is that they had just put up the end cap of SW figures, and they had all been picked clean of Codys and clones, and then I walk into the aisle and whoever took all the good stuff must have somehow missed Scorch. I just want Cody and VOTC 2 and I'm done with SW. Although I really do want those animated OTC statues.

I've seen X-Men 2 and Spidey 17 for quite a while, almost a month. I got Spider-hulk and Goblin but haven't seen Hydroman. Skipped on wave 2, though I do want Angel, a little bit, not enough to buy him.

Other than that I'm trying to keep up with Turtles, still need the last 2 statues (Raph/Don), not looking forward to dropping the $250 for them though.

I hate toys, they make me miss $$ :(

I'm really surprised you haven't seen the VTSC figures yet. I got a set early from a friend who works at Target, he pulled them from the back for me. But I've found huge displays of them at a couple of Wal-Marts for much, much cheaper than the Target ones I bought. They seem to be everywhere now, even the Biker Scouts that everyone thought would be hard to find. I'm patiently waiting for Mos Eisley now, and killing time trying to find that new Marvel Legends Thor which hasn't materialized yet around here.

I dunno, the only reason I bought Scorch was because I lucked out and saw him one day. I would never have searched for him, he's a pretty lame toy compared to most of ROTS, he just has that shortpacked rarity to him that makes people want him. Now Cody on the other hand is the only one I really want and of course he's the only one I can't find.

Well, I'm probably gonna go to Wal-Mart or Toys R Us tomorrow and look for a few of those Saga Collection figures. I'm tryin' to get Boba Fett and Han Solo in Carbonite. I'm also out the look out for the Firespeerder Pilot from the same line. He only had three seconds of screen time in Episode 3, but that doesn't bother me. I saw an ad for him in a Boba Fett comic and I thought he looked pretty cool. The Firespeeder Pilot in the movie had to douse the flames on Grievous' flagship and rescue the Jedi heroes. I'm thinkin' about scannin' the ad if anyone's curious about it.

BigApple3AM

04-28-2006, 11:11 PM

Yeah the firespeeder pilot is a tough one to find still, so good luck with him. I forgot about him, him and Cody are the ones I need. Han in carbonite is generally available, and he's a great figure, but if I were you I'd pass on Boba Fett. It's got a lame quick draw action feature, and the figure has been released like 8 times now. I think other releases came with more accessories too. (someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm right).

Look for the VOTC one on eBay if it's still at a decent price. That was by far the best Boba Fett ever made. had ball joint everything (but hips).

If you're on a budget though that Boba might not be so bad, still just a quick eBay search for VOTC boba fett wouldn't hurt.

That Matt Guy

04-29-2006, 06:53 AM

The Firespeeder Pilot is a huge pegwarmer in my neck of the woods. I really haven't had a problem finding anything from this series, as compared to ROTS which had figures that were damn near impossible to find in stores (only saw the red guard maybe once at retail.) Most of the scalpers around here only buy Ultimate Galactic Hunt figures, and leave the rest alone. I also wouldn't buy that Boba Fett either it's not a great figure, unless you leave him MOC.

Toy Biz is doing a remarkable job of pushing out product in their final year. I haven't found the Walmart wave or 2 packs yet. (Actually I ended up preordering the Giant Man figures through Canada so I wouldn't have to buy them from Walmart.) But I did pick up a few of the X-men series 2 figures. I picked up Wolverine to go with the House of M box set due out this year as well as Angel and Juggernaut. The latter two aren't bad, but I still prefer the Marvel Legends version of both characters that have already been released.

The collectibles store gets a lot of action figures earlier than places like Target and they also have lots of vintage stuff.

I wasn't gonna let the Firespeeder Pilot fall in the hands of a careless child whose mom buys if for 'em for their birthday.

From the reports I've read, stores that received the end cap displays like this store will not get the pallet display as well. It's little lose to me. That store isn't local to me. It is about a 60 mile round trip for me. I'll wait for them to show up locally.

There were a few 2 packs, King Pin vs. Daredevil and Hulk vs. Leader. I got the Hulk as I've been waiting for this figure since Marvel Legends started. Sure there was a pretty good one in the first wave, but I only got him out of boredom because he just wasn't as cool as the first wave Cap or Iron man. I finally have a 70's comic book version of the Hulk in all his fully poseable goodness. I passed on Kingpin and Daredevil, because even though Kingpin the character is awesome, and the Daredevil wasn't that bad looking, some figures just don't look good in the Marvel Legend style. In fact, I dislike most Marvel Legends figures even though I have 98% of them. I really hate the ball hips, in fact that's the first thing I notice on a figure. How well they could have looked if they used the hips that the first series Iron Man and Captain America had + the third series Ghost Rider, and very few others from then on. It just looks more natural even if it doesn't get as much range.

Anyway, I also snagged a DC Superheroes Superman, and even though Supes isn't my favorite of all time, this toy kicks ass! I'm so impressed that Mattel did something right, I like this guy more than most Marvel Legends it's so good. The only problem was the $10 price tag. He comes with no accessories and only a comic book. Marvel Legends are a far better deal unfortunately.

Still Supe's sculpt is awesome, is it 4horsemen because it REALLY looks like it. He'll fit right in with my Motu figures.

Today was an awesome toy day, even though I went for something else, I'm just glad I made it before everything was gone. I did see the 4 packs and wow do the monsters look awful. The young avengers weren't bad, but not $30 good.

I think these wal-mart exclusives will die down eventually, it'll be like the Elvis doll by Hasbro in the early 90's. It sold so well in the first few weeks that retailers were selling out, but after the second shipment arrived it became a huge peg warmer because all the evlis fans got one and no one else had interest in them. After all the scalpers hog them from other people (bastards) Wal-Mart will order a ton more because it's their exclusive, and all the collectors will be able to pick and choose what they want rather than have to hunt down figures only to get 1 or 2 or none at all.

These are some pretty cool figures. It's too bad that they make you buy 10 figures just to complete Giant Man. Of course then I went and bought the eleventh figure any way. So maybe I don't have strong grounds to complain.

TMNTman, I read your review on the newest Marvel Legends. I found it quite helpful and it really cleared things up for me. I'm glad I can rely on your reviews for when I know whether or not to buy a particular action figure. The only thing I have a question about is if the two Weapon X figures are shipped at the same ratio. I'll probably build the Giant Man figure, but I'm not sure what the shipping ratio for the variant is. Is he as common as the regular Weapon X? Well, lemme know and thanks in advance.

I can't say they are shipping in exactly equal numbers, especially since these seem to be shipping in three different style cases (regular case, PDQ display case, and pallet display) But neith variant is a case figure. The Weapon X variant is shipping at least one per case. The Sentry variant is also fairly common, but there are reports that the pallet cases did not contain the Sentry variant. I've never seen the pallet so I can't confirm or deny that.

So the only Star Wars figure I need now is Commander Cody. I hate to ask for help, but is there anyone that could go out of their way and pick me up one if they're stores have extras? I've never seen one around here. Saw the VTSC for the first time today, and passed. $10 a pop is just too much, and they didn't have the scout trooper which is what I really want.

Ended up getting the firespeeder pilot, Juggernaut, another Karai, and a Cybertron Soundwave. I think I'll open this Karai as the last one I bought I left MOC.

I got DC Super Heroes Super Man and Super Girl today.:) They are both great figures. The sculpts and articualtion are very good. These action figures are as good as Marvel Legends to me.:)

I also got the Star Wars VSC Sand Person action figure today. A few days ago I got the Greedo figure too. If I get all of them I will be able to mail in for the George Lucas Storm Trooper figure.

I plan on buying all the vtsc at one point, and even though I'll open all the figures, there's no way I'm mailing in for the george lucas figure. What a waste of a storm trooper mold.

I really like the DCSH Superman I got. Very well done figure, better than most Marvel Legends in my opinion.

05-19-2006, 06:51 AM

I went ahead and sent off for a Lucas Stormtrooper early in April, might as well since I had all of the stickers. I do agree, it's not that great of an exclusive.

Ecto- I'll keep an eye out for a Cody. Too bad you didn't ask earlier, I saw two of em' last week.

05-19-2006, 01:21 PM

Thanks man, after like a month of searching it gets annoying when you see the case he's packed in several times and he's not there. Is there anything you need an eye peeled for to return the favor?

Edit: Wow this is ridiculous. I found cody today! He was stashed at wal-mart and I lucked into him. That's how it always is though, whenever I ask someone to get it for me I find it the next day.

Toonami Tom

05-19-2006, 05:46 PM

Glad you found Cody. I found mine at Target a few weeks ago. It was the last one, it was like they only put him out on the shelf among the other figures I had seen days ago. Most likely they sold everyone else.

BigApple3AM

05-19-2006, 06:39 PM

Yeah a very similar thing happened to me with Scorch, all the figures were obviously picked through by collectors/scalpers/whatever and the SW figures were just like a big pile of mess, and I ended up finding Scorch on the ground. This time it looked like everything was there except Scorch, there were firespeeder pilots, regular orange clones, and one cody.

Has anyone bought that massive jedi with the boots? I see him a lot now, and I love my Jedis so it's very tempting.

Toonami Tom

05-19-2006, 06:51 PM

He's cool, but he can't hold his lightsaber. I mean it 'fits', but it takes a balancing act for it to work. He really can't hold it. He's a cool figure though, I'm glad I bought him. I also reccomend Sora Bulq, he's a cool jedi also.

That Matt Guy

05-20-2006, 06:26 AM

Glad you found a Cody, Ecto! I went looking around yesterday and didn't see one, but I did find a ton of other crap.

Foul Moudama is a good figure if you want more Jedis, but like Turtle_in_the_Shell said, he can't hold the saber.

BigApple3AM

05-20-2006, 11:45 PM

Thanks man, I really appreciate you keeping an eye out for me.

On a completely different subject, I was running accross one guys eBay feedback (yeah it's a guilty habit of mine, I love to see what people who are bidding on something I'm interested in have previously bought) and the guy had won like half a dozen Predator figures from the early 90's. I didn't realize how much I really loved those old Alien and Predator figures made by Kenner. Even though they're outdated compared to the McFarlane versions, they still have awesome detail and are way more play friendly which is something me and my friends to great advantage of.

Well, I bought himw cuz he was really the only new figure Target had and he was also the last one. He's that Mos Eisley-based spy in Episode IV who trails C-3PO and R2-D2. The figure looks pretty cool and his cloak is made of cloth. Anyways, some figures I'm looking for are: Momaw Nadon, R5-D4, Hem Dazon, and the Sandtrooper.

I think you might be one of the first to get that guy. He's from the upcoming wave which I guess is now starting to hit stores. Sucks because I had just caught up with Star Wars heh.

Although I still need a tac ops trooper, I heard he was going to be part of the ROTS reissues, I've seen tons of reissues but no tac ops (tac ops = blue tank gunner clone).

Firefly is Cobra in the original line, but looks like he's a GI Joe Sigma Six member now. I actually like the new line pretty well, I just get the feeling they aren't doing so well. I've noticed the net exclusive 3 and 3/4 inch line popping up at TRU in place of Sigma 6 :|

I don't see the 3 3/4 in figures extending any father than a TRU exclusive. I don't know if it's a great seller but I certainly don't think the Sigma Six line warms pegs. I figure we'll at least get to see Zartan in the future.

BigApple3AM

07-01-2006, 03:47 PM

Actually I started the thread with a Masters pic, I was showing the high similarities between masters figures and turtles figures. I really think that Playmates aped the masters line, as turtles was their first boys toys line they had to look somewhere for inspiration. Masters and GI Joe are what I think Playmates styled the turtles figures after. GI Joe because the filecards and all the accessories, masters for the style of the figures themselves.

Great collection, I have tons of masters stuff, but unfortunately I keep all my stuff in boxes. Just a heads up but to those who want the Masters DVDs cheap, the original cartoon's season one (60+ episodes) is only $40 at sams club, $40 was the price for just one half the of the season, so you're getting like a buy one get one free, and the masters dvds sets are AMAZINGLY well done.

Hopefully your day is still going good screamer, because the pics totally ruined it for me. Looks like I'll have a surplus of cash next year (okay that's not true at all) but most of the toys shown at SDCC (besides the DCSH) looked craptacular.

Marvel Legends - Wow a big disappointment, I'll continue just because I loved the past few years so much, but this wave looks like SH*T!

Spidey stuff - Crap. Reissued Crap. And more Crap.

8" Dolls - WOW THESE SUCK SO MUCH! Worse than famous covers, worse than the 70's MEGO dolls!

Transformers - I have a bad taste in my mouth due to me not being able to get a Nemesis Prime. REALLY pissed right now. As I have all the alternators, even swerve.

Classics - Doesn't look bad, but really plasticy and kiddy like. My excitedness keeps dropping.

Titanium - Wow do these look to be getting worse. Hopefully Jetfire and 'cracker will turn out okay still.

Cybertron - Repaints galore. Lost interest in this line pretty fast.

Masterpiece Screamer - Awful paint colors. Cancelled the pre order. Hasbro is losing me on ALL their toy lines. To be fair this was Takara.

Star Wars - Reissue crap? What was I supposed to expect from hasbro, the worst company in existance as of today. When Mattel makes better toys than Hasbro, it's a sad sad day.

DSCH - thank goodness something to feel good about! And from MATTEL?!?! I'm not even a DC fan, and these just blew me away. Can't wait for Batman, Supergirl 2, STEEL!!!!, and all the others. I don't even know who the parasite is, and I'm still happy to get him over some of my favorite characters in the Marvel Legends line.

My little brother, who is 13 and has never been an action figure fan, bought all of the avatar toys as well as an extra fire soldier. He loves them I guess, I've never seen the show but they are pretty articulated, ML style. They're too cartoony for me though.

Anyone collect Halo action figures? They are great, and they are close to being in scale with 8" GI Joe Sigma 6. The reason it's not exact scale with Sigma 6 is because I think Master Chief and the Spartans should probably stand alittle taller compared to Duke and the others.

Mick Bock I want your street sharksssssssss.

Anyone know where to get a normal, im not sure of the name, but Ripster? the leader? Maybe not normal, but close to normal? Not a ton of special junk, but the jeans, boots, etc.?

I've got a large bag full of misc weapons and I know that many of them are Street Sharks, but the problem is that I don't know which ones belong to what toy lines....

Sweet! I remember Street Sharks. They were great, and the plastic, twisted cage packaging was fun. I wish they would bring back the Street Sharks.

Black cc-one figure you need to get even if you have the eairlier version is CC first off his black not the useal cobra blue,the action gimmick is gone and he comes with a battle helmet,all good stuff his weapons are a flamey ax wrist blade and a big bazooka weapon(that i gave to my custom scrap-iron)
oh an be one the look out for a sliver cape version

zartan-this is the one even the most visous sigma hater will be looking for,this zartan does everthing the orginal/comic pack version of him better hood is sculpted to the head tha paint is cresp this maybe the best zartan figure if not best cobra in this line the only drawback is his weapons a WWII styled wrist gun a crossbow that looks like some thing from doom (but i like'em) and a wierd roped kunai laugher but pound for pound the best cobra yet

Saw the new Hasbro Marvel Legends in person for the first time today... :(

It's some sad times when the packaging looks better than the actual figure.

Today the Spider-Man 3 toys were released. I bought 2 figures, supermetal finish black costume Spider-Man and Venom with capture web. I think they are great figures and very fun.

Someone should sticky this thread.:)

Yeah, I saw the black costume Spidey at the toy show I went to yesterday, but I wasn't gonna pay 15 bucks for him. I think I'll look around to get him for a cheaper price.

Don't buy Rumbling Thing from the new Fantastic 4 movie line. The figure has been ruined by his action feature. His arms can not move upward. On top of this problem, mine broke when I tried moving the waist all the way around. I heard a crack noise, and now his worthless action feature doesn't work. All and all a crap figure.:x $7.99 down the drain basically, that is unless I decide to take him back to the Target store I bought him from. I wish I would have bought Battle Stretch Mr. Fantastic instead. I'm waiting for another version of movie Thing to be released.

On a good note, I really like the Lightning Attack Dr. Doom figure.:)
