I just got Night Flight E.T. from NECA. Beautiful, beautiful figure. It originally came out a while ago and I missed it then, but apparently it's been reissued and I bumped into it at my local comic shop today. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with the interchangeable neck it had the first time around.

Got some more figures of Downtown (Gaki No Tsukai), these designs are based on their look in the intro to Lincoln, another program of theirs.

Mugi in the middle is amazing.

I picked up the Buildable Lego General Greivous a couple days ago. He's $25 in stores. I blew $65 at the arcade and managed to get enough tickets to win him, but he was worth every penny (or quarter). Oh my god is he beautiful. I wasn't too keen on the buildable figures at first, but Johnny-4-Arms is ripe for the treatment.

My only problem is that he isn't very limited in the leg area, so he falls over quite a bit.

9/10 toy.

July 1st Haul:
Star Wars Galactic Heroes Snowtrooper and Shadowtrooper, Assassin's Creed Connor, Nexo Knights Robin, Lego Elves ship, Lego Ninjago Mech VS Mech set, Hot Wheels Lego figure ride-on and Snoopy car, Nexo Knights Lava vehicle baggie, and a Teach decoration for my classroom
https://c3.staticflickr.com/8/7538/27937438042_42bdb65dfa_z.jpg

The only problem with the Titan Mech Battle set (the Ninjago one) is that Zane's mech (the white one) has no knee joints whilst the possed Samurai Mech (the other one) does.

Also I got Ketar, Creature of Stone from Bionicle yesterday. I did want him but I never asked for him. My mom came home and was like 'HEY SON HAVE A TOY FOR NO REASON!'

Wow, thanks. I didn't even notice that. I have not yet put the set together. I have bought a few Bionicles lately, but they won't be in this haul since I'm limited to just 10 pics on most forums. Look for future hauls for more Bionicles.

These are out already? how are they?
I kind of want some since they basically promised all the teams will be made. I'd like to have a "Once a Ranger" team of my fav. rangers. I'm not sure about the scale and the muslces though. I have a bunch of the SH Figuarts but sadly that line seems dead.

I love MIB collectors since it means I get to open up the toy when I buy it 20 years later :D

Oddly enough I was thinking about Xenoxoic Tales/Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and pondered about re-watching the show again or not the coming weeks. I thought about getting a figure from this line but they're all so ugly, the Cadillac might be the best toy and I hate cars. This is something that needs a revival.

I like those. Star Fox is a part of the line now, and so is Falco and Slippy. I'm guessing most TMNT and video game fans would want those figures, I'm thinking about buying them. Peppy hare is sure to follow, I would guess. It would be unusual not to make an action figure of him, since the rest of the team is available now. If anyone has any pictures of their Star Fox action figures, I'd really like to see them in a group picture.

You can't quite capture the effect in photos but this Star Power Mario is all glittery & iridescent. A friend sent me a package with a bunch of cool little things in it, including this. I'm a sucker for anything metallic, translucent, glitter filled, etc. This one hits all the right spots.

This is from two weeks ago but I might start taking pics and sharing of things I buy.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CqQ4anTUMAA0w-g.jpg

I'm a big fan of the Twilight Zone and I really wanted that figure, love the b/w color and it fits my other 3 3/4" figures well and creepy as he should. I'm not a fan of the "retro" non-articulation but it works.

As I've posted here I became a big fan of Five Nights at Freddy's and wanted a figure, he looks great but his limbs fall if you try to move them, it's annoying. I kind of wanted him to be the singer of my action figure band but I think he'll become an interviewer instead.

The injustice figures I wanted for a while but always found it hard to justify the price but I was afraid they'd just sell out and I'd pay even more so I got them. I loved both the designs of Flash and Raven and they're two of my fav. characters so it made sense. Reviews made it seem like they were terrible but they aren't bad, except for Raven's left leg which falls every time you move it, still, Raven will fit well in my 3 3/4" display.

The two Pokemon figures I'm kind of disappointed in, for one they're too big. I always thought both of them were much smaller. The Jessie figure is excellent but it just takes too much space which I don't have. Misty on the other hand is not that good, I loved that it was a figure based on her Gen I appearance but for the price it's definitely not worth it. The Misty figure from the same line as Jessie's is much better. Oh well, it's still cool but not worth the price.

I really shouldn't have bought these, but I found them for a bit cheaper than elsewhere else at MHToyShop (http://www.mhtoyshop.com/) and couldn't resist... So now I'm the proud owner of the S.H.Figuarts Beerus and Whis!

https://s17.postimg.org/peg52d1v3/whisbeerus.jpg

This little addiction grew quickly. I picked up Goku in Toronto in 2015 as an impulse buy, my wife got me Piccolo as a birthday gift, and then Future Trunks got a re-release and since I'd wanted him forever (and the original release had since become crazy expensive) I didn't want to miss out again.

Ahh, that's tempting too. That's the problem with these guys -- get a few and then you want the whole cast!

I'd like to get a Vegeta, but I kind of prefer the "standard" black-haired forms for merch purposes. It'd be an easy variant to put out a black-haired version of this or the Super Saiyan version. (Also: easy to custom paint them, really!)

Holding out hope that they'll do a re-release of Krillin at some point, too. That one might be a long shot. :twink:

It's a toy problem in general, really. Especially when you've got teams, best friends, that sort of stuff. Most people aren't gonna get one TMNT, one Power Ranger, you need 'em all. Sampling other toy lines is a slippery slope. It's hard enough for me to just keep up with turtles, I can't imagine how the Marvel bugs must bite, for example. Glad I'm not a fan. :tlol:

I strongly considered that, knowing they weren't likely to come about. Then Mega-bloks made two sets, NECA's villains hit the market, some other figures had black & white variations, it's a lost cause. I'm trying to just stick with "adult collector toys" of theirs at this point. Can't resist the Figuarts, or a Henson turtle, etc. Sigh... :tlol:

But yeah, see! That Marvel bug is a real nibbler. I had that problem with Pokemon, you just keep wanting more of the little bastards. I ended up selling my collection off & just keeping my all time favorites, vowing I'd only get more if they were of them. So far so good on that front, at least.

But I've got a specific TMNT display area, and there's juuust enough room for all the NECAs in a fight scene, the four Fugitoid figures (with the original Fugitoid comic behind them), all of my TV series DVDs, with a Nick Leo bust bank and a 2003 Raph plush. So I'll try to abstain from more for my bank account's sake.

Went a little nuts on Marvel Legends/DC Multiverse purchases lately... Mostly on sale, though. Got a bunch on Amazon for more than half off, and TRU had a couple solid sales and I couldn't say no.

https://s24.postimg.org/xq2kd88ol/toys01.jpg

Picked up TV Supergirl recently for half off. Superboy is an older DC Universe Classics that I've had for a while, and All-Star Superman was a Xmas gift. My ideal Super-Family, right here.

https://s24.postimg.org/rnuxmqk8l/toys02.jpg

Ms. Marvel is the only one I paid full price for. Kamala's probably my favourite current comics character, so that was a must.

https://s24.postimg.org/3vh0xgstx/toys03.jpg

X-Women Kitty Pryde, Rogue, and Phoenix were discounted way down on Amazon in late December. So here we are. (Logan and Kurt I've had for ages.)

https://s24.postimg.org/rjwisqpdh/toys04.jpg

Venom from the same Amazon sale. I love this look, way better than the usual "giant fangs and tongue with green slime" look. Just a big, unsettling grin. Glad they made the two heads swappable here.

https://s24.postimg.org/eh0w9gz5h/toys05.jpg

And a Ben Reilly Spider-Man, which was also on sale at TRU last month. I've got a huge soft spot for Ben, and this and the kinda-recent Scarlet Spider figure behind him are both great.

...I definitely need to cut back on spending after all that, but... kinda worth it.

I got a NECA Aliens Mantis Alien and a Marvel Legends Absorbing-Man BAF wave Superior Foes of Spiderman Beetle. I love both of this figures.

The Mantis Alien is a fantastic sculpt, is amazingly painted, and has a really wide range of articulation. It reuses some parts from their Big Chap, mainly in the waist/upper legs area, but it's barely noticeable, and is still pretty good. He only comes with two accessories: a reprint of the original Kenner comic the original toy came with, and a green chestburster. The comic is okay, but the chestburster is a really cool accessory to have. I did have some issues with the figure but they were minor. The figure is really heavy, so it's prone to falling down and getting it into good poses can be difficult, although not impossible. The inner mouth was really hard to get out on mine, thought that's just an issue with the type of plastic used, it's a softer gummy material that gets deshaped, but I was able fix the issue. The main problem I encountered was that out of the packaging, I had a few broken bits on the figure. At first I didn't notice, but after inspecting the figure, I noticed it was missing two spikes on its tail. (Pics of problem are are included) I looked in the packaging, and sure enough there was one of the broken off pieces. (I'll have to glue that back on later). The other bit I still can't even find. I'm pretty sure I didn't break it. I was playing around with (and opened) the figure on one surface, and I checked everywhere on there, and the bit's not there. Other than that, I had no problems with the figure. I LOVE it. It's definitely my favorite Alien in my collection.

I know I've posted about my adoration of Shuma Gorath, but have I mentioned my vested interest in the Beetle? I've been a fan of the Beetle in the many iterations, and this one is no exception. So naturally I'd want her in figure form. I've been waiting for her to go on clearance, and finally I got her at a good price. She was definitely worth the wait. Immediately after opening the figure I fell in love with it. :tlove::tlove::tlove: It's a really beautiful figure that really captures the look and is just soo good. I had a lot of fun playing with her and posing her around, as you can see in the pics. She's my first female figure, and I'm amazed by her. Although female Marvel Legends figures don't have as much articulation as the male ones, I'm surprised at how much she does have, and it just comes off great. The wings are marvelous (no pun intended) and the articulation on them is fantastic. I can't gush about this figure enough; I really do love it. I even like her over the Mantis Alien. The only problem I have is that they could've included some accessories. All she comes with is the BAF piece, and although she doesn't need any (as she's pretty much perfect as she is) some interchangeable hands or a cute unmasked head would've been nice. But that's just being nitpicky. As it stands, this is a fantastic figure, and one of the best in my collection. She gets me really excited for the upcoming classic Abe Jenkins Beetle coming out in a few months. Can't wait!

Also, before I got these guys, my parents took a trip out of country the other week while my Sister and I house/dogsat. We mostly spent that time marathoning shows, including Gravity Falls, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, and Dragon Ball GT. Why am I telling you this? Well, when my parents returned, they said they found something in a random chip bag that I "might like." What did they find?

Got myself that NECA Stalker Predator I've been eyeing up for a while, at a very good price.

This is an amazing figure. The new articulation is great as always, the new sculpted parts look really good, and the Bio-Mask looks fantastic. A great homage to the old Kenner version.

The glow-in-the-dark feature works marvelously. While I didn't do a very good job capturing it in photos, in person it's amazing. This figure looks great accompanied by my Thermal Vision Alien Warrior and I can't wait to pose them together and take pics.

Overall i'm VERY satisfied with my purchase. :D

The stores in my area have started getting the Marvel Legends Spiderman Homecoming wave. And I couldn't be happier. I've been wanting an Abner Jenkins Beetle figure for YEARS, and they finally released him! And he's a fantastic figure. Perfect sculpt and articulation.

I've also completed my "power couple". ♡
I think that the Janice Lincoln Beetle figure and this one look so good together! They make a really cute couple. I can just imagine them going on dates and stuff (like in the last few pictures). I definitely had fun posing them together. :D

These are some great figures. Neomorph looks spot on to how he looked like in the film and although the Xeno isn't as screen-accurate it's still a beautiful design that they implemented perfectly in toy form.
(I'm honestly surprised at how early the sellers there get their figures. They haven't even began to show up around here.)

I also picked this up in Chinatown:

I know it's not actually a toy, but I'm just so happy to have it that I had to share it. It's incredibly hard to find merchandise based of this anime so I was surprised to find it at all. I made sure to take care of it during the entire flight back and I even went and bought this nice frame for it. These were my favorite items and I'm incredibly happy I got them. :D

For a 15 year old figure he holds up surprisingly well.
The articulation is a bit lacking, but what he has works well enough.
What he lacks in articulation though, he makes up in detail. He’s incredibly well sculpted and the paint job in him looks great.
The included base is really cool too.
Definitely worth the $8 I paid.
If only I had some NECA TMNT figures. He’d look great with them.

I finally got a Sega Saturn Nendoroid!! :anime:
I’ve wanted one since forever, and I was actually able to order her online.
Saturn-chan’s astonishingly cute, with the Nendoroid style matching almost exactly with her appearance in the series.
She comes with a lot of interchangeable parts and accessories, my favorite being the mini Saturn system and controller, which I can use with my other figures.
And since Akira and her interacted in the anime, he goes perfect with her.
She’s so much fun to pose and mess around with. I’m really happy that I was finally able to get her.

I got these 4 figures: Bucky is awesome even if the articulation is kind of weird. Bulma is great. Vegeta a bit too loose and don't like his hair, I have no luck with vegeta figures. Raptor is amazing and everything I wanted.

Yeah my Dirty Pair fandom got the better of me. I saw these Kei and Yuri dolls and how can I say no? I got the whole series, TV show, movies and ova on DVD.? Why not add them to the collection.

Its sad. I know. I plan on tracking the comics down lol.

I'm sort of a long-time Indiana Jones collector as well, and finally got an opportunity to add these guys to my collection -

These are being stored in acrylic figure cases, and the white sheets at the bottom are cuts of microchamber paper to absorb any contaminants. With that in there, it's possible that if I ever have to let them go they will leave my care in better shape than they came in. Microchamber paper does miracles after a few years in a comic book, but many people aren't aware that it's great for most stuff.

The LJN TOD Indy as a MOC example is still eluding my grubby lil mitts though....

I have a huge collection of Jakks WWE and Classic Superstars figures.

My wife got these for my Birthday a few weeks ago:

And I picked these up today at a fantastic bundle bargain:

If I kept anything in the package I'd have to live on the roof, so these most likely aren't long for the plastic. Figured I might as well take some photos now while they're still all "un-popped".

Very likely. :lol:

Luckily I live about three minutes away from the best flea market in NJ, which has a gigantic wrestling store inside. They've got just about everything from every line ever made, from mint condition stuff to a flood of loose figures. They do have a "junk bin" but only for really beat-up stuff; most of their loose figures are kept in bags neatly sorted on hooks and in very decent shape. Most of the used ones are still only $5-15, too, depending on condition and rarity.

I do try and get new-ish stuff whenever possible; thankfully they regularly sell MIP figures for far less than the online rate, much of the time. I'm assuming because most people buy several figures at a time and thus offering bundle discounts is good for generating repeat business. It certainly works out that way for me! For example, that guy Crush in the middle often goes for anywhere from $80-150, but they asked me for just $75; Razor often goes for about $30+, and Brian Pillman is also usually at least that much, if not more since he's deceased and they never made a lot of figures for him. In the end, I got those three MIP figures and a loose used one for $95, essentially getting half of it for free.

Definitely very fortunate to have them close by. Cheaper than eBay and no shipping.

I've got all but King Ghidorah & King Caesar, on the fence about them as there are much better JP options. I will probably cave & get Ghidiorah but the glossy accent paint on King Caesar bugs me, not a huge fan of the character in general, either.

Yeah, I'll probably only get a few. I wish they had a little more articulation but they look great on a shelf for the price, and that's really all I need.

Could always repaint it, bruh. :) I spent all day yesterday working on fixing up a 12-inch Aquaman that I got for a song as part of a BvS set a while back. They're all just very basic "poseable statues" and the paint jobs are pretty lousy, but so far Aquaman already looks 100x better, just gotta finish the head. I noticed that a lot of the recent Godzilla toys are in need of some serious repaint work; that's a fun way to keep busy. That's what I'd do.

Not about a "recent purchase", exactly, but I did finally come across the giant box containing the remaining 2/3s of my DC Direct figures that I couldn't find last year when I was going through the stuff in storage. So that's neat.

Most of them are still in near-perfect condition, which is great, but a few of them have some pretty loose joints. That was always a big problem with their stuff, back in the day. I don't have a lot of the newer stuff from them/DC Collectibles, but I remember that they started getting better about that after a while. I've got about 150 figures, most of them from between 2005 and 2008, although I've since picked up a couple here and there that are both older and newer. Hard to believe that they've been coming out with stuff since back in 1998; we take for granted how many toys are out there nowadays, but back then DC Direct was almost your only option if you wanted a DC character based on anyone except Batman. I still remember getting so excited to see a lot of characters getting their first-ever toy from DC Direct, back when they mainly did more obscure characters and only put out Silver Age versions of the "classic" ones like Batman and Superman. It was also neat to see the line evolve and improve over such a long time.

They could definitely be a little more playable and a lot of the women just suck at standing up, but I still mark out for how they represented all the different art styles and all the famous comic book angles. It's neat to have like dozens of Superman figures and so much uniqueness between them.

I really like Mattel's DC stuff, too, but I only have a few of those.

Tons of great stuff out there today. At the flea market I picked up a Kenner "Total Justice" Aquaman, and a Funko "Savage World" Panthro figure. Then at the mall I found a Super7 Filmation Evil-Lyn! :tgrin:

I also got a bunch of stuff for my wife, including the new McFarlane Toys Scorpion and Sub-Zero figures. I think she's gonna be pretty happy with those. We're probably both getting a bunch of wrestling figures for Christmas, too.

Leo656

12-27-2019, 03:08 AM

I actually got one of the best hauls ever for Christmas this year, thanks to my wife and the flea market down the street. Highlights include:

- DC Direct "Silver Age" Batgirl & Joker Two-Pack
- Mattel 1982 "Masters of the Universe" Ram-Man (Loose)
- LJN "Thundercats" Cheetara (Loose)
- Remco AWA Road Warrior Animal (Loose)
- Remco AWA Larry Zbysko (Loose)
- Remco AWA Curt Hennig (Loose)
- Remco AWA Michael Hayes (Loose)
- Remco AWA Buddy Roberts (Loose)
- Remco AWA Terry Gordy (Loose)
- Super7 "ReAction" Jerry Only Misfits figure
- Jakks "WWE Classic Superstars" Bob Backlund
- Jakks "WWE Classic Superstars" 1-2-3 Kid
- Jakks "WWE Classic Superstars" Sycho Sid
- Jakks "WWE Classic Superstars" Canada-Exclusive Early-1980s Hulk Hogan (Blue trunks)
- Mattel "DC Multiverse" Reaper

I'm extremely happy and excited with everything. The Jakks "Ruthless Aggression"-style WWE figures are probably my single largest collection of anything, particularly the "Classic Superstars" line, but I'm still missing a ton and these four were all ones I've been hunting for a while, the Hogan especially. I'm also a huge DC Direct collector so I've had my eye on that Batgirl/Joker set for almost 20 years (although I'm scared to take them out for fear they'll crumble :lol:). Because I'm so invested in DC Direct, I sadly don't have a lot of Mattel DC stuff yet even though I'm a fan; The Reaper is a great-looking figure AND I'm pretty sure this is the first-ever figure for that character, so that's a big deal. I missed both Ram-Man and Cheetara from the original MOTU and Thundercats lines, respectively, so even finding them loose in such good condition counts as a win; I can easily go looking for their weapons etc. down the road somewhere. And I'm not huge on the ReAction stuff but I am a big Misfits fan, so Jerry will go great with my Crimson Ghost figure.

The Remco AWA figures were nice to receive, because somehow I missed that line entirely as a kid. They've become pretty tough to find, even loose, because most of the figures were the first ever (and in some cases only) toy for many of the characters. Also, most of them originally came with soft goods jackets, robes, etc. which are almost impossible to find nowadays; some figures can range from being worth like $20 loose with no accessories, to over $200 loose just for having the original vest or whatever. I'm not gonna be obsessive about stuff like this, I mostly just want the figures themselves in reasonably-good condition, although thankfully there are a few websites that make very good replacement clothing if I do want a more "complete" look for them. Curt Hennig is the most "complete" figure I got; he's missing his Army cap but he's still got his camo pants and jacket, and even that's pretty hard to come by. I always wanted to start collecting the AWA line, so this is a pretty good start. I doubt I'll ever complete it, though, due to how rare some of them are. People online are selling Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty as a set for about $700, LOOSE with no accessories, since it was the first time either one ever had a toy, Michaels became a huge star and Marty rarely ever gets a toy at all. I mean I get it, but that's nuts. So I might end up just settling for the first three Waves since they're all pretty easy to find. Wave 4 (including Shawn and Marty) came out as the series was being cancelled AND included all-new characters, thus making them incredibly hard to find nowadays at reasonable prices, similar to the final WWF Hasbro wave in 1995. I guess you can't have everything.

So yeah, great Christmas for toys! :tgrin: Anybody else get anything cool?

Went to the flea market today and got a pretty awesome deal on a nice haul of figures:

- Remco AWA Ric Flair (loose)
- Jakks WWE "Ruthless Aggression"-style Tommy Dreamer (loose)
- Jakks WWE "Ruthless Aggression"-style Matt Hardy (loose)
- Jakks WWE "Ruthless Aggression"-style Snitsky (loose)
- Playmates "TMNT Classics Collection" Raphael (loose)
- OSFT WCW 4.5"-scale Kevin Nash
- Jakks WWE Classic Superstars Kevin Nash
- Jakks WWE Classic Superstars "Fabulous Freebirds" Three-Pack (Terry Gordy, Buddy Roberts & Michael Hayes)

I paid about $65 for everything; going by the marked prices I under-paid by about $40, so they either really like me or just wanted to clear out a bunch of stuff right before closing. :lol:

The used figures are all in really good shape; most of them hardly even look used. The Ric Flair needs a bit of touch-up paint but other than that, everything looks pretty good. Raphael even has both his sais.

They've got the accompanying Michelangelo still in the package, but I'll pick that one up next paycheck. No Leo or Don, though, so I guess I'll hit the internet for those.

Leo656

01-19-2020, 04:00 PM

Flea market run again today. The place I go to got a big haul of Hulk Hogan figures in this week, and I was able to pick up a few that I desperately needed! Plus some other stuff.

- Mattel "WWE Basic" Series Modern Hulk Hogan (Black pants and red "Hulkamania" Shirt)
- Mattel "WWE Basic" Series "Superstar Entrances" 1980s Hulk Hogan ("Hulk Rules" shirt)
- Mattel "WWE Elite Collection" Modern Hulk Hogan (Black pants w/"Hulk Rules" shirt, "Hulkamania" shirt, and boa)
- Playmates "TMNT Classics Collection" Michelangelo

I missed all but one of the Mattel Hogan figures when they were brand new, which for me is an absolutely intolerable situation (I presently have almost 50 different Hulk Hogan figures, and counting). I ended up paying about $20-25 each for these, which was far less than the stickered price. I've seen people online asking $75 or so just for the Elite figure. I'm still missing a couple of Mattel Hogans, including the "Defining Moments" one that I seriously need to find, but I've got most of them, now. I think there's just the Defining Moments one, a Basic 1980s Hogan with no shirt, a Modern Hogan with a different shirt, and an "American Made" 1980s Hogan with blue trunks that's incredibly rare and expensive. There's also a "Create A Superstar" one and a Zombie one, but they look like crap and I don't care about them at all.

They all look really good and have a great likeness. I really love how the 80s, 90s, and Modern Hogan figures all have completely unique head sculpts; Mattel did a great job capturing all the little differences, not just facial expression but things like his hairline or the shape and color of his mustache. Great, great figures. My only nitpick is that the "Superstar Entrance" Hogan come wearing a shirt but no headband (It's clearly a 1986 Hogan, so he would have had a headband and not a bandanna). It looks like they were trying to mimic the photo on the box, but that was from a photo shoot, and generally speaking Hogan has NEVER been seen wearing the shirt but no headgear, especially during his entrance. Since it's supposed to be based on his entrance, the lack of headband is a very sloppy error. BUT, in the end it's a very minor nitpick and I can probably make something for it that looks presentable, anyway.

Since I picked up the "Classics" Raphael figure loose a couple weeks ago, I decided to splurge on the Michelangelo figure which is still in-package. I definitely want Leo and Donnie, but they don't have them at this place so I'm either gonna have to hope they get them in or suffer the whims of eBay.

Leo656

01-20-2020, 11:38 PM

I was at Walmart and picked up the last DC Multiverse Animated Series Superman that they had. Pretty cool, since I was just browsing and didn't expect to see them there at all. They also had Animated Series Batman and regular Batman, but I'm kinda light after the flea market the other day so I had to just get this one. They didn't have a regular Superman, sadly. Hopefully he'll turn up soon.

The figure comes with an extra set of hands, a bent piece of "scrap metal", a small display base and a collector's card. Not bad for $20. The card and base are attached to the package with plastic, so I haven't bothered with them yet, although the stand will probably be pretty handy since this guy really does not want to stand up. The figure itself is a bit heftier than I expected, which is nice, but the legs are simply too thin to adequately support the wide-shouldered upper body very well. When it does manage to stand, it looks great, but you really have to mess with the legs a lot and it always looks like a stiff breeze will knock it over. Although the stand is very small so I'm not sure how helpful it will really be.

The likeness and sculpting details are great, especially the raised S-shield, and there's some extra sculpted lines on the belt and buckle that are a nice touch. 22 points of articulation, some of them in weird places, but overall it moves pretty well. The joints on mine are very stiff right out of the package; they feel pretty snug but I don't want to try and force the knee and ankle joints. The knees are double-jointed but I can't get the full range of motion, so I'll probably have to heat them up a little. The legs don't go very far forward because of how the trunks are. The arm and shoulder joints are all very snug and don't feel at all flimsy or brittle. There's not a lot of motion in the ab joint, but each hand and foot has two swivels and a ball joint. Some people swear these figures are ugly; I don't agree (This one and the Animated Batman one are really gorgeous up close) but they definitely made some interesting choices with the articulation. One minor bad thing is that there's a toe joint on each foot and the pegs are black, which is very noticeable against the red boots. The S-shield looks better than it ever did in the cartoon, although they cheaped out by excluding the tiny yellow spot at the top of the S, but it doesn't hurt anything really.

The paint is pretty good, there are only a couple of very small rub spots; the worst one is on the back of his leg so it's not visible, the front of the figure is pretty flawless. Like in the cartoon, the cape is fairly short, but it looks good; you can't do anything with it because for some reason the top half of it is glued to the back of his shoulders, so even though it's made of soft plastic the cape is only flexible from about the waist-down.

Aside from the trouble getting it to stand up on its own, this is a great Animated Superman figure, near-perfect. I don't see how anyone would pass it up if they were a fan, I definitely recommend picking it up. And even though I didn't buy it, I can attest that the Animated Batman is also terrific, and they'd look fantastic next to each other on a shelf. Hopefully I can get that one soon.

Leo656

01-22-2020, 02:17 AM

I went back to Walmart and got the Animated Batman to go with my Superman. I'm so weak! :lol:

Same exact everything as what I said about the Superman figure. Some people dislike it because it more resembles the New Batman Adventures version but wearing the TAS costume, but stuff like that is a little nitpicky, it's a great-looking figure regardless. Comes with an extra set of hands, a grappling gun, and a Batarang. I do think the Mattels were better (these feel like a blend of the DC Direct/DC Collectibles and Mattel, leaning more towards the former), but so far these are pretty good, and they'll probably improve as they go on.

I feel like someday I'm going to want those McFarlane DC figs on a shelf somewhere.

As for most recent stuff, I bought these Fight Club figures some time back, but I actually only just opened them last week in my latest rotation to my home theater displays, so in some ways it's like these are brand new for me.

https://i.imgur.com/ODf3mZMl.jpg

I still have a lot of MOC stuff, but more and more lately I've been opening stuff to get more displayable use out of it. It used to be that I'd keep expanding storage to place stuff, but now I keep my collection modular - I rotate themes in out of storage to display and it's much more fun.

I also picked up some used Jakks WWE figures to do customs on, including a loose Barry Windham in fantastic shape who's just begging for a black and silver "Widowmaker"/WCW repaint. I already have a Windham so I specifically bought this one to repaint.

FINALLY picked up this gem at the flea market today after months of "Hopefully it'll still be there next week":

https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/p720x720/86463875_2377926178973694_8792447750319898624_o.jp g?_nc_cat=101&_nc_ohc=_54y-8VDzMAAX8W_pAM&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&_nc_tp=6&oh=1d990e650602270e30a132e9e5cacdc2&oe=5EC47EAC

Jakks Classic Superstars "Hollywood Blonds" Brian Pillman & Stunning Steve Austin set. By far one of the sets I've longed for the most over the years. I'm a huge Pillman fan, and as far as I recall this was the one and only Stunning Steve figure that Jakks ever produced.

I also picked up some loose figures for custom fodder, which I basically got for free. Can't wait to get crackin' on 'em.

Leo656

03-01-2020, 11:10 PM

Picked up some neat stuff at the flea market yesterday.

- WCW Toy Biz The Giant (loose). I've always wanted this figure but never managed to get him when the line started, the only figure in the original Wave which I missed. He was incredibly hard to find at the time because he was literally only a couple of weeks away from his WWF debut as Paul Wight/"Big Show" when the WCW line was released, so everyone snapped up his figure and it's remained one of the more hard to find (although not technically "rare") ones in the series ever since. The "neck brace" variant in a two-pack with Kevin Nash is incredibly common by comparison, but almost nobody wants that one. I generally prefer to get figures in-package whenever possible, but I honestly haven't been fortunate enough to encounter a Giant in this great of shape for a reasonable price in ages, so I said to hell with it. I almost never see him in-package for sale, even online, and I definitely paid less than what a loose one goes for online when you factor in shipping.

I focused on characters in that series, rather than individual figures, since the line was pretty large given how many variants guys like Nash, DDP, Sting etc. each got. So now all I need is Stevie Ray and Miss Elizabeth from the Macho Man two-pack and I'll have at least one of everyone! :tgrin:

- WCW "Ring Masters" Hollywood Hogan. Hogan is a character I make an exception for and try to get every figure they produce. This one somehow slipped through my grasp and I haven't really encountered it very often since. I don't think it was on the shelves for very long; the "Ring Masters" line as a whole was done away with very quickly since some guys like Chris Jericho had left the company and other guys had figures which gave them goofy or crummy gimmicks. This Hogan is wearing a red and white nWo shirt, and the "nWo Elite" angle only ran from January through March of 1999, so this figure was most likely out of date already by the time it hit shelves.

- Jakks TNA "Hulkamania" Ring with bonus Sting and Hogan figures. This was pretty much what I went to the flea market for in the first place. These rings were kind of hard to find as I'm aware and were probably only sold in certain stores. It's also incredibly rare for any wrestler to have a specialty ring produced just for them, although in this case it sort of fits as just before signing with TNA in 2009, Hogan had performed on the "Hulkamania: Let The Battle Begin Tour" in Australia, complete with Hulk- branded ring. This set was released in 2011, but hey, that's TNA for you. :lol: I ended up shooting a video for the YouTube channel about this, as I knew I HAD to open it and put it together without delay. :lol: Not a bad ring, definitely nothing fancy but it's fine. The Hogan and Sting figures are the kinda crummy "discount" figures that Jakks released at pharmacies and dollar stores, with small bodies and limited articulation. The heads are amazingly sculpted, but the outfits lack detail (they pretty much just painted Hogan's entire lower body red and called it a day; Sting at least has some small scorpion details on his legs. :roll:). Not bad for what I paid for it; I'm a huge toy ring mark anyway and in theory I can use the figure heads for customs, because they really are some of the best Hogan and Sting heads ever made.

As usual I also picked up a few random loose figures for custom fodder, because I usually get them for $5 or less per figure and there's always more characters to be made. :tgrin:

On the way home I stopped at Wal-Mart and happened to find the McFarlane Toys Action Comics #1000 Superman figure, which I've been looking for for a while. They only had one left so I had to pick it up even though I'd technically gone past my "toy budget" for this paycheck. It looks pretty awesome and comes with a trading card and figure stand/"flying base" or whatever. For that I say thank goodness, because with this being the third of the McFarlane DC figures I've picked up so far, I'm quickly becoming disgruntled. These things DO NOT STAND UP AT ALL without help, and that's a serious f*cking drag given what they cost. At first I assumed it was simply the Animated Superman and Batman ones, with their gimpy legs and massive upper bodies; made sense, the weak legs can't support the frame, whatever, annoying but semi-expected (and a big reason I never liked the DCAU art style all that much). But THIS guy has even more of a problem standing upright than the others do, and that's just nonsense.

It's all because of the choices they've made regarding articulation and where to stick it, and I personally find these choices questionable. Like who the hell NEEDS there to be ball-jointed ankles on an action figure? Because that right there is like 90% of the problem; "Oh, neat! I can twist Superman's foot around 180 degrees if I want! Too bad he can't, y'know, stand up unless you lean him on something." :roll: The toe joint is also both pointless and a problem, because it kind of prevents the feet from laying flat sometimes, but I find that it's the ankle joint and the feet wanting to roll to any angle except "flat and straight", and the hip joints which constantly try and force the figure to do a split, to be the main problems. Waist-up, the figures are pretty good; belt-down, f*cking mess.

I do like the sculpting and detail, as well as MOST of the articulation, though. I particularly like the raised S-shield and its metallic paint job compared to the matte colors of the costume, it looks great and really stands out. The complete absence of the yellow/golden S on the cape annoys me, though (especially as this is advertised as "Action Comics #1000 Superman" and I'm pretty sure he had the S on his cape in that issue). But bottom line, outside of the packaging, these McFarlane figures aren't so great and I'm already nostalgic for Mattel because pound-for-pound I think they did a better job. I still want to get the Batman figure but after that I don't know if I'm gonna be getting more of these, unless they fix some of the problems. In 2003, I didn't care as much if my $10 toys needed help to stand up; in 2020 at double the price, I expect at least the bare minimum in functionality from these "collectible" action figures. The packaging touts "22 Moving Parts!" but I, personally, would gladly settle for less than that if only a stand or base wasn't a required prerequisite.

Given that it's McFarlane, though, and historically most collectors who buy from that company never take anything out of the plastic to begin with, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. And I guess I'm not entirely. Disappointed, though? Definitely.

My most recent purchases were Funko Pops off Gamestop.com that all came in pristine condition and protective small boxes.

Joker 1989
Catwoman and Penguin from Batman Returns
Two Face and Riddler from Batman Forever
Mr Freeze from Batman and Robin

I bought 2 Jokers hoping for 1 Chase and 1 Common....struck gold and got 2 Chases! This is my first time ever getting a Chase at random let alone 2 in the same order.These are really cool looking and match up well with the Batmans I have from 1989, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin

I've been picking up a lot of cheap used Jakks WWE and TNA figures for customs. Keeping pretty busy with that, working on about a dozen simultaneously which should all be pretty damn good when finished.

In addition to that, I picked up some cool sh*t today:

https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/p720x720/105359954_2646514065448236_7507175377459370730_o.j pg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_sid=110474&_nc_ohc=oJKL8tNfi7kAX_V6BPn&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&_nc_tp=6&oh=3aaab7a6f922ae30831a86cd80be9670&oe=5F15EA9F

https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/p720x720/104841855_2646313078801668_345267392627629781_o.jp g?_nc_cat=106&_nc_sid=110474&_nc_ohc=dhJ1xxvhTK0AX_0iIRu&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&_nc_tp=6&oh=cb57d178d4255de233446564893a2fbb&oe=5F132366

I picked up the "Masters of the WWE Universe" ring a few months ago, but this was the first one of the figures I've picked up. I'm not entirely in love with the McFarlane DC figures but that is an awesome looking Wonder Woman, and I had to have a complete Trinity since I already had Superman and Batman. The picture doesn't really do it justice at all, the gold detailing really, really "pops". Looks incredible in person.

I've been trying to get those two Sting figures for a long time and got a heckuva deal from my buddies at the flea market.

Leo656

07-11-2020, 05:15 AM

Finally added this to the collection after 20+ years:

https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/107799443_2696435007122808_7307660492576947376_o.j pg?_nc_cat=111&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=CX5iqisf3OgAX85OUAF&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=7511d3de58519f89e18395d2443e7850&oe=5F2F1A51

The only WCW figure of Miss Elizabeth and only her second-ever up to that point (out of, I think, three to date), that makes this set kind of hard to come by, Then and Now. But I got a pretty good deal on it; prices are only gonna go up so I figured I'd get while the getting was good. It already doubled from where it was like, two years ago; if I waited any longer it probably would hit triple digits.

I have to check and see, but I *think* I have the entire roster of characters from the WCW Toy Biz line, after picking up Stevie Ray last week and getting this in the mail on Friday. Not all the figures, because they did a lot of variants, but I am pretty sure I have every individual character. If I'm missing anyone, it's Michael Buffer. I *think* I have him but I gotta dig up my WCW box and look to be sure.

I'm gonna start getting some old LJN WWF figures and fixing them up, since the two I already restored were pretty easy. I was gonna hit the flea market today so I'll take a look at what they have and I might pick up a couple that aren't in too bad of shape. "Serious" LJN collectors hate it when you repaint stuff, but it's all only gonna sit on my shelf anyway and I at least want 'em to look nice. Besides, no way I've got the cash to buy those things in "good" shape; some of 'em are like a car payment, or even a mortgage payment. :lol: I'm fine with touching up some "beat" ones, even if it makes them "worthless".

Leo656

07-11-2020, 05:29 AM

I completely forgot to mention it when THIS gem showed up last week! I can't believe myself. One more Hogan crossed off the list!

https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/75429529_2664588053640837_7560309738221422979_o.jp g?_nc_cat=104&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=jjxGJETRvzIAX-Q3GZn&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=94332f9197fac9212f0f93d8d1297715&oe=5F2EEA29

This one was costly, but it's a great likeness of early-80s Hogan with his New Japan gear and robe, a look that nobody ever really captured as an action figure. Been looking for this one for about ten years.

Aside from some of the newer Storm Collectibles Hogan offerings, I'm getting pretty damn close to having one of every Hogan figure. I need the two LJN's with the shirt (red and white shirt variants), a couple WCW figures from OSFT, a couple Jakks TTL and Classic Superstars figures, one or two Jakks TNA ones and one or two Mattels. I definitely own way more than I'm missing, but I think I'm around two dozen or fewer figures before having one of every Hogan.

There's two Hogans that I know are gonna be expensive as hell; one of them came in the Jakks "WrestleMania VI" two-pack with Ultimate Warrior, which regularly goes for a couple hundred dollars. The other one came in a "Championship Belt" set with one of those toy Title belts for kids; there were a few of those produced for different wrestlers and they ALL go for over $200, easy.

So those are probably the two most expensive Hogan figures on my list. The rest are all incredibly reasonable by comparison. I've got people looking around for the Big Two for me, but so far I've only seen them in-person very rarely and someone else always snags 'em first.

Here's what I got this past week. Finally finished up all of wave 1 with Aquaman and Manta, now to wait until I can buy wave 2 stuff at a decent price online or my comic shop carries it (I ain't goin out huntin' in a pandemic!) Picked up Brine King cheap, been wanting that one for a while. Also got Leatherneck from the old Sgt. Rock line. Tough to find any that aren't the Sarge (I already have him) in good prices and condition!

This thing is AWESOME! I've seen pics of it out of the package and I can't wait to get it in my hands, maybe tomorrow. But man, this is on another level. For one thing, there's not a ton of Liger figures that exist, anyway, let alone in this scale with that much articulation - lots of Japanese wrestling figures are of the "rubber statue" variety and thus so are most Liger figures - but this thing's got all the swappable hands and such, and even has his cape and harness. Such a slick piece of work!

About $75, I think, but again, there's hardly any Liger figures, AND he just retired, so there won't be too many more in the near future and ALL of them will be Collector's Items. So this one's a bargain at any price and guaranteed to only skyrocket in price. It's rare I'll spend that much on a non-Hogan figure, especially something brand new like this, but under the circumstances I feel like it's a no-brainer.

They have an awesome Black Costume variant but I'm not made of money. I'd love it, though.

Good day today. Picked up a Jakks TNA Kevin Nash and aClassic Superstars Sunny at the flea market, but the BIG ticket item was a WWF Jakks/LJN "Monster" Ring that I got for under $100!

https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/110336338_2716882378411404_7819204894638394256_o.j pg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=AdBFvr3y2qMAX8rBO1b&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=f064f4f6ffe27782b27b22201f1e1db1&oe=5F373C69

Note that it is marked $100 but I did not pay $100. I get the "In The Rasslin' Business" discount! :tgrin:

It needs some work done obviously but I'm looking forward to fixing it up. I'm a huge ring mark.

Then when I got home, this was in the mail:
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/109692614_2716893425076966_1594145399670822564_o.j pg?_nc_cat=108&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=r8qEfV1gob4AX-g2D4L&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=3c2a03f3221fbc69a02740e9d30849e5&oe=5F389F38

I really loved the Super7 "retro" He-Man figures, and this takes the same idea to the next level! I have a Skeletor on the way, too. It's kinda weird that Mattel did the "Masters of the WWE Universe" wrestling figures first, and THEN these, rather than the other way around, but hey, whatever, it's cool.

Leo656

07-25-2020, 03:17 PM

Some hot, HOT pick-ups and mail drops this week! Multiple huge pics, so Spoiler'ed.

WWE CLASSIC SUPERSTARS HULK HOGAN VS. ULTIMATE WARRIOR WRESTLEMANIA VI TWO-PACK

https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/110278082_2735382526561389_1606798114217592900_o.j pg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=gT1vdb3sPSQAX98HqrO&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=e0c7101b02da27f21e074dfee9fac4ae&oe=5F42AF88

I've been after this for YEARS, finally found a halfway decent (if you can call "under $150" that, doggone razza-frazzin'.... :tgrumble:) deal on it. It keeps getting harder to find and frequently goes for $200 and up, now, so when I found one for less than $150 with low shipping I had to jump. I love the little touches, like Warrior's paint being smudged; they easily could have recycled his C.S. Series 1 figure with no alterations but they went the extra mile. Awesome!

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE "ORIGINS" SKELETOR
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/l/t1.0-9/111466302_2735384703227838_4927385158153450002_o.j pg?_nc_cat=107&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=xes1_pD74moAX-aw7m7&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=a996bea60249a1c0c897d95960a6d1cc&oe=5F42C0A8
Man, do I love these! Such a great blend of the original figures with more modern articulation and poseability. I didn't open this one yet, but I did open the He-Man I got last week and these things are the cat's meow, daddy!

And that brings us to THIS guy:
MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE CLASSICS "REBEL LEADER" HE-MAN
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/109989088_2735386926560949_375501263795281629_o.jp g?_nc_cat=109&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=ishI3aDQ868AX-kw8MZ&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=239818d228f4d7f8f75befde788fbe6f&oe=5F42E852
Dear lord, talk about a figure I never thought would ever even exist, and now it's mine! ALL MINE! I still gotta get Movie Skeletor but Jeebus, what a hot piece!

I am so goddamn hard right now. :lol: Good sh*t, pal!

Not "purchased", but didn't know where else to post about it.

Was cleaning out the screenhouse, re-packing some boxes, and I found a lot of in-package figures I forgot about. The big ones were:

- 2002 Masters of the Universe 20th Anniversary Commemorative Series He-Man and Battle Cat Two-Pack

- 2002 Masters of the Universe 20th Anniversary Commemorative Series 5-Pack

- NECA Mirage TMNT Leonardo

I knew I had at least one of the He-Man sets, but I didn't know it was those specifically! WOW! And I didn't think I had ANY of the NECA TMNT figures, I'unno how that slipped my mind!

But yeah, great finds. It's amazing what you find when you clean.

You might THINK that would be huge in itself, and on a normal day you'd be right! BUT! I then went to Walmart for groceries, and as usual I checked the toy aisle on my way out even though they almost never have anything good lately. But as I turned around, I walked right into the ENTIRE new Hasbro GHOSTBUSTERS wave! I couldn't believe it!!!

TODAY'S MAIL!

Up first, everyone's favorite Thundercat Ho (I'm sorry, it's just TOO easy :lol:), Cheetara! Specifically, the Funko "Savage World" Cheetara from the short-lived line a couple years ago. These are all still really cheap and easy to find. Only need a couple more!

And then the BIG one... MORE than Man... MORE than LIFE... it's the Super7 "Dark Despot" Skeletor from the classic film! :tgrin:

More stuff is coming this week. I thought I was done for the week, BUT apparently the AEW figures hit Walmart tomorrow, so I might need to dig a deeper hole. :ohwell: We'll see.

Someone else please post. I feel like an asshole. :lol:

So there were some deep stains that even repeated soaks in OxiClean and laying out in the sun all day wouldn't pull up, and a few nicks and scratches, but I finally finished restoring my Jakks/LJN WWF ring today! Soaked it, scrubbed it, scraped the old stickers off with an ice scraper, buffed the glue residue off with a wire brush, slapped the new stickers on, strung the new ropes, and DONE! I much prefer the classic PPV logos over the stickers that the 1996 version of this ring came with, and the new ropes are thicker and brighter, too. I love how it came out!

I'm hoping to pick up another Jakks/LJN ring in the near future so I can do a Saturday Night's Main Event ring! I got the stickers from LJN Wrestling Superstars on Facebook. If you have an old ring like this you wanna fix up, they're your go-to! Highest possible recommendation! You can get new stickers and new ropes for about $15 each.

We also filmed some stuff so hopefully it'll be up in a few days.

Whew, today might be my single-best mail drop in history! Truly, truly epic stuff!

First up, we have the Super7 "Ultimate Edition" Filmation He-Man and Skeletor!!!

Holy SH*T, I love these figures! I mean, I love ALL my He-Man and Skeletor figures, but these are easily two of the best ever! They're cartoon-perfect down to the last detail... those alternate heads, those weapons, all the little details... absolutely perfect!

Still on the hunt for the original MattyCollector He-Man and Skeletor figures at a cost I won't regret... and I still need the original Mattel Skeletor from the 80s, which has somehow always eluded me... but I'm really close to caught up on He-Man and Skeletor figures!

Aside from that, we have THESE beauties to add to my Superman collection!

Specifically, we got Mattel DC Multiverse "Justice League" Superman, DC Direct "History of the DC Universe" Superman, Mattel "DC Super-Heroes" Superman (loose), and Mattel "DC Multiverse" Walgreen's Exclusive Bizarro!

That ring looking LIT mate:o:D

08-04-2020, 04:41 AM

Thanks! Ain't it, though? I'm in love with it.

I mean it wasn't in terrible shape to start with, other than the scuffs and the scratched-up stickers, and the dirty, loose ropes. But if given the choice, the 1996-era stickers it came with HAD to go! Vintage-Era all the way! :tgrin:

I've got my eye on the black-colored reissue ring from a year or two later. That would look really, really slick with some old-school logos on it.

My buddies from the flea market might be hooking me up with a vintage LJN ring and cage; that's gonna be a hit but hopefully we can work something out!

Bit the bullet and picked up some high-end items I needed for my collection, as well as a bunch of cheap $10-15 stuff. So next week should be pretty good as well!

08-10-2020, 11:55 PM

I let the mail pile up so I could have a little extra fun. Got some AWESOME stuff this past week!

First up, one I had and one I've been needing my whole life... I picked up a spare DC Direct Superman from the 2005 series, but the real story is the original Kenner "DC Super-Powers Collection" Superman! Believe it or not, this one always slipped through my fingers... until NOW!
https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/117649980_2778943325538642_7391965950265813669_o.j pg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=a6GEAfoUO48AX-AHScl&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=993367aef2c4f280776409dcfc8db28f&oe=5F55EA8A

Next, Hasbro's "DC Super-Heroes" Superman vs. Metallo set! The Metallo figure could ONLY be found in this set from the short-lived Hasbro line!
https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/117768724_2778948388871469_4884334802522029286_o.j pg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=d-V2vWAPPM8AX-2lr8g&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=ae7951ddc496c91a845382216494ebd8&oe=5F55FEA3

Some choice figures from the 1995 Kenner "Superman: The Man of Steel Collection"! This was only the THIRD Lex Luthor figure released between 1985 and 1995, as well as the VERY FIRST long-hair Superman and "Recovery Suit" Superman! I love this line!
https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/117593763_2778952045537770_953204842995573970_o.jp g?_nc_cat=102&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=8tT-6TjJke8AX_ceFpo&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=37e3bf71b9af8a7fb4c55e1b078af9e4&oe=5F58B86C

Next, a little Blast from the Past, with Flash, Riddler and Penguin from the 1989 Toy Biz DC Super-Heroes line! They essentially just re-used the molds from Kenner's "Super-Powers" figures, but I didn't care then and I don't care now! A short-lived but GREAT series of DC figures, the last "real" DC set we'd get for almost 10 years until the "Total Justice" line!
https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/117594481_2778957695537205_4825182313975401058_o.j pg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=5k_oenDfJF4AX-uNoIK&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=b8a2f654a25bde3cd6960cbfa7a98b73&oe=5F57EC41

Lest we forget about the Dark Knight, here's some awesome Batman stuff! Specifically, "Crusader Batman" and "KnightsEnd Batman" from the awesome Kenner "Legends Of Batman" series, AND the FIRST-EVER Tim Drake Robin figure ever from the Kenner "Batman Returns" line! No, Robin wasn't in the movie, but he WAS in the script before they cut him. Tim Drake was HOT at that moment in time, having just debuted shortly before, and every kid wanted his figure, so Kenner fudged a few things and put him in the movie line just to get him out there for the people! You couldn't find these back in the day, everyone had to have it! The Jean-Paul "Azrael" Batman was also hot, as this was his first-ever figure, too! I still don't know why they switched "KnightQuest" and "KnightsEnd" Batman around for the branding of these figures, but whatever, they're great!
https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/117772728_2778962288870079_5820585542518930111_o.j pg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=HOoTI7Py_LIAX96DzMH&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=729be2d820e3e209383604b1364548c0&oe=5F560AF5

Next up, 6-inch Lion-O and 8-inch Tygra from the short-lived 2011 Bandai "Thundercats" series! THe guy screwed up and sent me this Lion-O instead of the 8-inch "Classic" one, but y'know what? It's no big deal because I didn't have this one anyway! I'll take the win!
https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/117635997_2778955368870771_2848661845873462127_o.j pg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=B8CBx8n5T8oAX_eHYry&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=6c46ae7cae5f3dc1139117b37c9f31ac&oe=5F58495A

Last but CERTAINLY not least, three figures I've been DYING to get my hands on. First, the ORIGINAL 1980s Skeletor figure, which somehow eluded me as a kid until I found a great one Loose/Complete with only some minor sword scuffing which I can sand down. But also, after over 10 years of heartbreak and despair, I FINALLY can call the 2008 Mattel "Masters of the Universe Classics" He-Man and Skeletor my very own! Those who know me well know how badly I've wanted these, and no, they were not cheap, but they're finally MINE! "Let the Power RETURN!!!"
https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/117638896_2778973225535652_2775209638800325632_o.j pg?_nc_cat=107&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=kbw2XKTquRgAX-uwjOe&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=70afc17283fdf08be16da737f1c80e26&oe=5F59A56D

F*cking AWESOME! :tgrin: Some huge holes in the collection, FINALLY filled... and more on the way!

The Mcfarlane Johh Stewart Green Lantern fig. I always wanted one of them and it looked so good so I grabbed it from Walmart. I also have the 1984 Wonder Woman and Gold Armor one. I'm not going to collect the whole line but I will try to get just the figures from animated shows and movies...I'm eyeing the non blue Chase Batman Animated one next. I have a Batman/Phantasm 2 Pack but the Mcfarlane Batman looks so good.

I'm on the fence for Green Arrow and Superman since I have 5 Green Arrows from the DC Collecitbles TV line and a Animated Superman/Lois 2 pack.

08-11-2020, 07:41 PM

Ah, that's neat, thanks for sharing! Glad I'm not the only one at the "party" for once. :tgrin:

The regular Wonder Woman looks seriously great, but I haven't opened it yet. Not super interested in the armor one.

I definitely think that if you're even considering the McFarlane animated Superman and/or Batman then you probably should get them. They're pretty good, mine just don't stand up on their own for sh*t, but there's ways around it and other people swear they have better luck with them.

Feel free to share pics, I didn't know they'd done a John Stewart. Kinda behind on newer DC figures since I've been chasing down so many older ones!

Have a ton of stuff piling up. We really gotta try and get the laptop we use for editing stuff running again so I can pop some of 'em for my YouTube gimmick.

Anyways, lots of different stuff this week so far. First up, Racer X from the ReSaurus "Speed Racer" line!
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/117951086_2797844383648536_8006822217883197538_o.j pg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=BaQPdl2mqpoAX9V-UkR&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=aa93f6bfedd565a34070c0a16e7a5f0b&oe=5F618947
This dude's awesome. The only two figures I have from this set are him and Speed, so far. I really need to get the rest of the line! Thankfully it's small and fairly cheap to collect, but I haven't gotten to it just yet. I'm a huge Speed Racer fan; these figures are very simple, but unfortunately they're pretty much still the best we've gotten for Speed. At least they all come with awesome accessories!
--------

Next up, we have Lips and Influence from the Playmates "Dick Tracy" line!
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118004399_2797848116981496_5618814565187002582_o.j pg?_nc_cat=107&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=webGVgGyS-gAX_X1A7-&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=4b693e8b0d1d338515d40632f8452f1b&oe=5F5FD0F5
I'm getting close to finishing this series as best as possible. I only need Flattop, Brow, Mumbles, and The Blank; I know I'll probably never own The Blank, given that I see that one for $1000-3000. BAH! Even the vehicles are fairly cheap to come by but Blank is just ridiculous.
--------

Next, I'm still filling in the remainder of my Kenner "Total Justice" and Kenner/Hasbro "JLA"series. First up, the very first figures ever released of Parallax (Hal Jordan) and Kyle Rayner!
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118199507_2797851090314532_5209120847534144906_o.j pg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=LAEI6zOPqREAX9pu3wv&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=a0101337d6da0e047854df3a8c999a28&oe=5F625CF6
Interestingly, when Hasbro acquired Kenner (and in turn, the DC license), they not only used the "Kenner" name for the first waves of the JLA line, but most of the figures were simply repainted versions of the ones released in the "Total Justice" line. You'll notice that the two Kyle's are very similar, but have some obvious differences. The JLA Kyle has a brighter green color and more of a "clean" white for the chest area, but the earlier version looks pretty cool with its more silver-looking chest, and with the Lantern-inspired figures like Kyle and Parallax, the goofy weapons and armor from "Total Justice" actually make sense! So I feel the earlier Kyle has some advantages, but they're really great either way! And that Parallax is GREAT for the first-ever figure of such an iconic character (Hal had a few earlier figures as Green Lantern, but this was the first Parallax figure). These figures are simple and limited in many ways, but they were INCREDIBLE for the time they came out!
----------

Sticking with Green Lantern, we have two totally different kinds of figures from two totally different lines with essentially the same name! 1990's Toy Biz "DC Comics Super-Heroes" Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), and the Hasbro "DC Super-Heroes" Armored Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner) vs. Dr. Polaris!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118054708_2797855803647394_3111899665623129414_o.j pg?_nc_cat=101&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=sFWvJNI2K-oAX8o13Uh&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=e2a04f2283eaae7d4b7e0e19749fe65f&oe=5F61B34C
The Toy Biz series mostly just borrowed wholesale the sculpts from the famous Kenner "Super-Powers" line, but the accessories do a good job of setting this Hal apart from the earlier one, despite being practically identical otherwise. I just need Hawkman and Aquaman, and I'll have this entire series!

The Hasbro two-packs are interesting and confusing. They were released under the "DC Super-Heroes" branding, which was primarily focused on a very short-lived line of much larger, 7+-inch single-packed figures. These two-packs, which were few in number, were more directly in scale with the cancelled "JLA" line from the year before, and each one contained a resculpt/repaint of an earlier figure, as well as a brand-new one that was never released in the JLA line, Dr. Polaris in this case. I'm not sure why these "JLA"-style figures were released under the "DCSH" branding, unless Hasbro just wanted ALL their DC toys to have one singular title regardless of scale (they also did a short set of 9-inch Mego-inspired figures with cloth costumes. also under the DCSH branding). Sadly, the entire line lasted about a year, with only a few of these two-packs and about six single-packed 7-inch figures. Bummer. At least it's easy to collect them all!

The Kyle in the two-pack LOOKS like mostly a simple repaint with some new parts added, but he's actually a new sculpt from his earlier figure, as his hands, stance, and hair are all very slightly different.
--------

Next up, more Kenner "Total Justice" with The Flash (Wally West) and Green Arrow (Connor Hawke)!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/117911682_2797862743646700_227560286415730974_o.jp g?_nc_cat=101&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=jyUFgklUXD4AX_REa2S&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=705363abf6b980de26e55d74a34d2acf&oe=5F5FF517
There's a TON of first-ever figures in this line! These two fly under the radar and are very cheap to get, but this was the first-ever Connor Hawke figure, and the first Flash to be very clearly based on Wally West. The 1989 Toy Biz figure was probably based on Wally, and I think his character card says so, but he was still wearing Barry's costume and the figure was a re-issue of the "Super-Powers" Barry Allen figure with nothing changed. The angular lightning belt gives it away that this is very obviously Wally as Flash! Like Kyle, these two would be re-released under the "JLA" line with new paint jobs (and the goofy armor/accessories swapped out for a simple "JLA" base stand); I actually like that Flash a little better, as it swaps the yellow paint deco for gold, but I don't have that one yet.
------------

Vintage meets Modern with these next two: Kenner "DC Super Powers" Lex Luthor in the first-ever figure depicting him in his iconic Battle Armor, and the DC Direct "Crisis On Infinite Earths" version from 2007! The evolution is amazing!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118155992_2797859010313740_411096835810854395_o.jp g?_nc_cat=103&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=6fmChL7rdKwAX8F6Za0&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=a6e2835b1832ac521ba26d3c34bab419&oe=5F628FFF
These are actually replacements for two figures I already had; I somehow lost the armor on my vintage Lex a long time ago, and the DC Direct one had a leg snap off. So I found these two fairly cheap and jumped!
---------

Continuing on, I've filled in almost all the holes in my list of characters from the Kenner "Superman: The Man of Steel" Collection! I've got the last of the single-packed villains in Conduit, and the "Cyber-Link" Superman & Batman two-pack!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118076024_2797864246979883_6299839520813404797_o.j pg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=FDotDP8cjqoAX_jEFNw&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=e303133a4bff9b56aa39fc3bb9193d15&oe=5F6074CE
1994-1997 was actually an exciting time to collect DC, albeit in brief spurts, because across several short-lived lines we got a TON of first-ever figures for many characters! That list continues with Conduit, who really to date still hasn't had a lot of figures made; in fact, this first one might be the only one, off the top of my head, but he definitely deserves more.

I'm not very big on variants, but any Superman/Batman two-pack is worth picking up. This was the only one they released in America, but they did three more Superman/Batman sets that only came out in Canada, which included repackaged figures from the "Legends of Batman" line in a neat bit of cross-pollination between DC lines under Kenner.

The only figures I'm missing from this line are variant figures of Superman, Steel, and the Superman/Massacre two-pack. I still need the vehicles they came out with, too, but that'll be in good time. All the non-Batman DC lines in the 90s were very short-lived, but they were all great!
----------

Speaking of the "Legends of Batman" line, we have the only "basic" Joker to come from the mostly-"Elseworlds" themed series. Along with that, there's the first Michelle Pfieffer Catwoman from the Kenner "Batman Returns" line!
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/117882034_2797867003646274_3737300564458187801_o.j pg?_nc_cat=107&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=QtLbSk5dwGMAX8E3rSB&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=b0f4798bfd8441bedd88962661e478e4&oe=5F5F1CF3
I don't have most of the "Batman Returns" line yet, but Catwoman is easy to get and a good "core" figure to pick up.

The Joker figure is "okay", but I don't love the accessories or the hairstyle. Most of this series was variant versions of popular characters, but most of the main cast had at least one totally "iconic" figure of them in their basic look, and this Joker just slightly misses the mark for me. It's fine, just not perfect. It would have to do, as this was the only "basic" Joker in this scale for a very long time.
--------

I'm gonna end up going over the Image limit, so I'll split this here.

Part 2

Speaking of "Iconic" looks in the Kenner "Legends of Batman" series, here we have "KnightQuest Batman" in the red and gold armor, looking uncannily perfect for this period... kind of.
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/117971383_2797867006979607_6297678278574142481_o.j pg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=ssHJUYmtdp8AX_TIjUG&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=6b5cb9e85274da269bc1b6bbb104201f&oe=5F6054A6
...It's only NOT "perfect" because for some reason Kenner switched the proper titles around with their "KnightQuest" and "KnightsEnd" Batman figures. The figures themselves are totally comic-accurate - AND, once again, the first-ever figures released for those versions of the characters - they just got the names reversed somehow. Very annoying, but awesome figures!
--------

You better believe there's more Batman! Specifically, two different takes on the classic "Caped Crusader" blue and gray look: Hasbro's "DC Super-Heroes" and the Kenner/Hasbro "JLA" releases!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118119787_2797869950312646_8241058100981175572_o.j pg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=EmaQkTGHIFsAX_itWq1&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=5f263bfdc155975d36b9307e7949b081&oe=5F621B81
The "JLA" Batman is missing the trunks, but otherwise it's just about perfect for the style. The "DC Super-Heroes" figure is damn close to spot-on! It's too bad the line didn't last longer, they were basic but looked pretty cool, and were some of the first mainstream figures in their size and scale.
----------------

Continuing the VERY short-lived Hasbro "DC Super-Heroes" line, we have two more Big Guns, Superman and the Joker!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/117820919_2797872376979070_7560643668736613101_o.j pg?_nc_cat=103&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=9aX2wof794kAX9ofKEt&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=0c5cdade278652132e0ec50332fae47b&oe=5F60B52E
Both figures are pretty great, and once again it's a real shame the line didn't last longer (SIX figures! SIX!). That is a VERY awesome Joker figure, so far one of my favorites ever. Really great stuff for the late-90s! I really love looking closely at all the evolution in these different series over the years.
---------

Finally, we have some key additions to the He-Man collection! On the "Modern Retro" side of things, we have the vintage-style Super7 "Filmation Masters of the Universe" cartoon versions of Man-At-Arms and She-Ra in the 1980s scale. But then, we have another long-overdue addition to the ORIGINAL Mattel "Masters of the Universe" collection... Mer-Man!
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118175984_2797874213645553_1004548309325428092_o.j pg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=_Rlt11oSpjgAX-2-6rn&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=b962bc16196a3736cfe80468d1a71bc5&oe=5F5FDB46
I love ALL the different He-Man/MOTU series of figures, but I gotta say that I really admire the Super7 Filmation stuff. Obviously the 7-inch scale, multi-articulated figures are "better", but these cartoon-style 5-inch figures? These are the ones I WISHED that I had when I was 5. Don't get me wrong, I had the original Man-At-Arms and loved it to death - I actually have a replacement on the way as my original is pretty beat up - but I always noticed the differences between the toy and cartoon versions of most characters, and I would have gone nuts for these exact figures back then if they'd existed. He looks exactly like the cartoon!

I'm very slightly less in love with the She-Ra, just because they went all-in on the sort of "baby doll" face with sort of puffy cheeks, and I'm not a huge fan since other women in the same line looked better. But she's fine, she fits in alright with both these and the original MOTU figures, flaws and all. So I really can't complain too much. I do have a larger-scale, more cartoon-accurate Super7 She-Ra on the way as well. I'm trying to get the main characters in every available scale and work backwards from there. The 5-inch Filmation line only had about 30 characters and they're all only about $20 each, so again, it's not a hard line to collect and if you already collect the original MOTU line, many of them fill in some huge character gaps in that particular series! I have a couple more on the way of this series as well.

With He-Man/MOTU stuff, right now I'm trying to get one of each or at least most of the different series - Original, MOTU Classics, Super7 7-inch, Super7 5-inch, and the new MOTU "Origins" - as often as possible. I have a few holes in my Original Series set - and most of Series 6 and 7 are just gonna have to be a wish, because they're hundreds of dollars each even loose, most times - but there are about a dozen more figures I need that are in the under-$50 range, at least. Mer-Man is one I somehow missed early on, and I don't think he had a reissue later like He-Man, Skeletor and Faker did. Regardless, he's one I always wished I had, so I'm thrilled to finally have him, and in such great shape!
----------------

I'm pretty close to completing several lines, now: Toy Biz "DC Super-Heroes", Kenner "Man of Steel", Kenner "Total Justice", and Hasbro "DC Super-Heroes", primarily. I don't really go in for variants much, but there really aren't that many in those lines and they're all cheap so I probably will, just to have complete sets.

The only MOTU set I can complete without losing a kidney will probably be the Super7 5-inch Filmation stuff, just because it only had a short run and the figures are so inexpensive. With both the MattyCollector and Super7 7-inch figure sets having lots of them that run almost $200, a lot of those are gonna have to wait a long time. Although I plan to pick up a few less-popular (and cheaper) figures here and there when I can. I'm trying to get in on the ground floor of this new "Origins" series from Mattel, too. I think they're great! My Birthday's coming up and my wife wasn't sure what to get me; I've been hinting about all the new "Origins" figures coming out, and if she just got me a bunch of those I definitely would not complain!

Within the last week I have obtained the Mcfarlane Animated Batman and Superman plus Arrowverse Green Arrow! I keep in box but the paintjobs on these are so eye popping and sharp and I do like the collector cards as a nice bonus.

Wonder Woman 1984 Regular and Golden Armor
Green Arrow
Animated Green Lantern, Batman and Superman

Along as they make more Animated or Live action TV Show or Movies, I will get them. Only interested in those.

And I know there is a blue Cape variant for the animated Batman but it's a no from me. I'm not digging that look lol

Tons of great new stuff this past week!

First up, we get a little closer to finishing the Kenner "Total Justice" series with Darkseid, and I also picked up a replacement Batman from the Kenner "Dark Knight Collection", as I lost the cape from my original one.
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118379162_2811122742320700_7504982993092241758_o.j pg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=UHIoQYpWCioAX-XiDVH&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=108ee073d44b2986f329fdf6a36bd4cf&oe=5F68550B

I can't stand that Darkseid's claw gimmick is a permanent part of his arm. I always loved this Batman as a kid, though, because it was the only "Keaton" Batman that had the colors of his comic book costume!

Moving on, two more additions to the Hasbro "DC Super-Heroes" line, with Captain Marvel/"Shazam" and Superman Blue!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118405294_2811128925653415_5463746984224239032_o.j pg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=ZQaTU9nq5n8AX-J6m6T&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=d50faf3b63dac47d8ac337f8d4439c24&oe=5F685340

These are pretty much the two worst figures in the line. Superman Blue by existing, but if you notice, that whole Captain Marvel figure simply doesn't fit this series at all! The scale is all wrong and there's barely any articulation. Love to know what happened there! Neither is a "terrible" figure but I'm disappointed that Cap doesn't really fit in well. Ah well!

Anyways, I finally picked up the 8-inch Bandai "Thundercats Classics" Lion-O, to go with the Tygra I got a couple weeks ago:
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118397349_2811135755652732_5364142948225132478_o.j pg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=WKILXdL1BMYAX-Ko9H7&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=b842df13fdbd30a10225068d1f25cde2&oe=5F68BA6D
Great-looking figures, but man, what odd choices. Why 8-inch scale? Who does 8-inch scale? They don't fit with like, anything at all. They sure do look great, though. Too bad they're the only two characters.

I stopped by the flea market today and got some great stuff as well. I'm now 99% complete with the Kenner "Total Justice" line after picking up this Batman and Robin - there's still one Batman I need to pick up - and I finally remembered to pick up this DC Direct "Teen Titans" Wonder Girl!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118534575_2811143862318588_6009764856234104207_o.j pg?_nc_cat=108&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=uWPucm7pP2MAX_3ZdT3&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=29003e278b1792786433a5ede0a00d84&oe=5F68CDD0
My urgency for these two "Total justice" figures was very low, because I already have the Robin from the "JLA" series later on, which was identical minus the armor and weapons, and the "Total Justice" Batman figures are just plain hideous. BUT, they were super cheap so I had to grab 'em! All I'm missing are the one Batman and two mail-away figures I don't care much about.

I've been wanting that Wonder Girl for a long time, though. Here's hoping she doesn't crumble when I take her out of the package, as some DC Direct figures are known for doing after many years in plastic!

ALSO from the flea market, I picked up these two gems: DC Direct "Arkham City" Batman in his classic blue-and-gray, and Mattel "DC Universe Classics" New 52 Superman!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118294634_2811153195650988_6587407748077549227_o.j pg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=6IC9FK55SLoAX_xOby2&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=62a1b8e7ec6384193517df7ac24644c0&oe=5F65A473

I'd never seen that Batman variant before! I don't have any of the "Arkham" figures from DC Direct but that one just jumped off the rack at me. I also don't care much for New 52 Superman, but it's a Superman figure I didn't have and it was fairly cheap, so y'know. It's a great figure, it's just not my preferred look.

One more hot pick-up from the flea market, and the whole reason I left the house today: Mattel's "Masters of the Universe Origins" Sky Sled with Prince Adam figure!
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118406104_2811163598983281_7698633922528552818_o.j pg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=VE-BIHAnHykAX-e75MK&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=1794fa527df08e3d1df789a20c83a6c7&oe=5F678560

This thing's sweet! You can swap the head and the deco on the sides, and it's suddenly a vehicle for the bad guys. Neat! I'm in love with MotU Origins so far. Hopefully I can get everything that comes out!

And finally, the last of my mail, with MORE great He-Man stuff! Specifically, Mattel's "Masters of the Universe Classics" He-Ro II (Son of He-Man), Super7 "Club Grayskull" She-Ra, and the original Mattel Man-At-Arms! My old one was missing most of his armor so I snagged this guy pretty cheap. Awesome!
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118297434_2811166272316347_7338846826881193523_o.j pg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=FQ7KXKxzV_YAX_pq--i&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=036457ce53f1864b3c32b523c8baeca3&oe=5F68D058

I'm really blown away by everything about these "Club Grayskull"/"Classics" figures that Super7 put out. Even the packaging is terrific!
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118359967_2811173222315652_7171139591508004002_o.j pg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=zeUu23u2wkAAX8CikHN&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=97471bbe93a42955fcb17533ba809f54&oe=5F666111

F*ck that stupid reboot, man. THAT is the "Princess of Power", in all her glorious majesty.

So yeah, great sh*t this week, more on the way.

Received a few things in the post in the last week.

All 4 Plasma Series Ghostbusters. Really nice little figures, have that feel of a proper solid "toy" about them. Likenesses are great too, especially Egon and Ray. Annoying that I need to get Dana and Zuul (sp?) to complete the terror dog. They might have me on that, I will probably end up getting them...

Also received the GI Joe retro Snake Eyes. Got Storm Shadow on order too. Haven't had any Joe stuff since I was a kid, so looking forward to opening these up when I get a moment.

Also recently got the NECA Jungle Patrol Dutch (no packaging) and also Lt Ellen Ripley (MIB).

To finish off this post I also got a used Transformers Earthrise Wheeljack off eBay.

I was lucky enough to find all six Ghostbusters figures at Walmart, so that was awesome. The only thing killing me, is that only Winston comes with a proton beam for his Neutrona Wand, and that it's not even super-duper accurate (although it does look cool).

I ordered some custom proton beams from a guy off eBay that look pretty cool, they haven't arrived as yet though. But if you're interested, that's a thing that's out there. :)

I wonder/hope if Hasbro might release an accessories pack, with extra proton beams and open and closed traps.

I didn't plan to get Dana and Zuul but now I have the 4 legs of the Terror Dog it seems a shame to waste them :)

Leo656

08-26-2020, 04:10 PM

Oh, that'd be awesome.

In the meantime, the proton streams came today, and they're really neat! They seem like something someone could do themselves at home easily enough with coiled colored wire, but I just can't be bothered. :trazz: They DO look just like the movie, though, and they're slightly extendable which is nice. Like you can very gently extend or retract them for a slightly longer/thinner or shorter/"fatter" stream. That's pretty cool!

I recommend picking them up if you're like me and can't be assed to make your own. They weren't that pricey and they do look very cool.

I got a ton more stuff in the mail this week but I'll get to it later.

08-31-2020, 01:03 AM

Alright, a bunch more stuff this week.

First up... Nothing But Aquaman! Specifically, Toy Biz "DC Super-Heroes", DC Direct "JLA Series 1", and Kenner "Total Justice" Aquaman!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118615398_2834587279974246_697903496188236637_o.jp g?_nc_cat=108&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=XH6U18wc1NgAX9ZOQgd&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=a8802e4b814570bbabf410411ca86d43&oe=5F73C825
These were relatively cheap. I skipped on the original DC Direct JLA single-card figure back in the day because I'd picked up the "JLA Box Set" that came with Hook-Hand Aquaman instead. I already have the Gold Armor variant of "Total Justice" Aquaman and so I wasn't in a hurry to pick up the Black Armor one, BUT it was in a bundle with the Toy Biz Aquaman for a lot less than that single figure usually goes for so it was a bargain.

Next up, more DC Direct, with Superman Series 2 Supergirl (Linda Danvers) and DC Icons Lex Luthor!
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118690778_2834598873306420_3871750851006757594_o.j pg?_nc_cat=111&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=s1KoyrvfmbQAX_b50pj&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=1f5c44c5cf8959f97ce991c7dbdf2ab6&oe=5F727213
I don't know how I ever missed picking up that Supergirl, as I always really, really wanted it. Package was damaged and half-opened so I got it cheap. Figure is in great shape and that's all I ask. Not my favorite version of Lex's Battle Armor, but I've been accumulating Battle Armor Luthor figures lately so I knew I needed that one.

Shifting gears a bit, here we have some more Bandai "Thundercats Classics" Collector's Series figures, with Mumm-Ra and Lion-O in 6-inch scale!
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118356842_2834593483306959_1571850846782152426_o.j pg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=j-girblIiNYAX-i4Mn-&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=495f255351ab960721731585ccba5bd3&oe=5F70DB89
Just like the 8-inch Lion-O and Tygra figures, these were the ONLY two figures in this specific series that Bandai ever released. And that's a real shame because I would have loved to have the main cast at least. Ah well. These have almost the same amount of articulation as the 8-inch figures and are very cool.

Still adding some missing figures to my original series Mattel "Masters of the Universe" collection... Clawful and Beast Man have joined the battle!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118701697_2834601659972808_5669291937151032636_o.j pg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=QQ_sKwnuMzAAX9qVfNs&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=ea57176e2f9a2b36655a88f5a7617494&oe=5F705904
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118704176_2834601576639483_2916874598574519128_o.j pg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=PFdPhMe910kAX_DsuP3&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=3a1413318e766a40ac580cc366473cf2&oe=5F74021F
Beast Man is a little chipped up on the face but I can fix that easy. The real trick was finding him loose/complete with full armor! Not sure how I never got Clawful, but back in the day I did have Beast Man until my sister threw him out a window and we couldn't find him after that. Ah well.

From Classic to "Classic-Inspired", we have some of the awesome Filmation-inspired Super7 "Masters of the Universe" line: Orko, Hordak, and Prince Adam!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118694624_2834605246639116_2536858415225030956_o.j pg?_nc_cat=103&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=PjpZ-ML8rrUAX-42Tsu&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=c53ac75b5ba4919033f273e01e62b95a&oe=5F706EB2
I must say I really love all the little differences between these figures and the 1980s originals, from sculpts to color schemes to accessories. Really awesome.

Still in the same series, Trap Jaw and Mer-Man!
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118700918_2834608966638744_1372258084265678537_o.j pg?_nc_cat=107&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=jfPMOGjH_bgAX9Aa41Y&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=c7475a2eb6825b86b6db71aa5e5df8fd&oe=5F72F9BA

Again, I love all the little differences. For fun, check out the original Mattel Mer-Man side-by-side with his Filmation Super7 counterpart!
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118691264_2834611839971790_2427315428872799352_o.j pg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=SwFwyPLrqeMAX9INLN7&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=1aa7f049c76b642a582182edcead3616&oe=5F72D6E2

Finally, we have two in a more modern scale. Mattel's "Masters of the Universe Classics" Battleground Teela, and Super7 "Club Grayskull" Filmation Prince Adam!
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118699238_2834617223304585_382283417057245440_o.jp g?_nc_cat=105&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=01azmp7x7zoAX-P_b45&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=6a927bbfb812a6f23d121e96608bd5fd&oe=5F70BE41
These are awesome. You can't see but the Adam figure even comes with an alternate "Transforming" Power Sword with lightning and sh*t. Really cool! Admittedly, this was not my first choice of Teela figure for either the "Classics" or "Club Grayskull" lines, but it was the only one I could afford at the moment. The Classics and Filmation Teela both hover between $150-200 generally, so I might have to wait on those for a while, sadly.

That's it for this week!

I got a bunch of stuff this past week at the flea market and in the mail, so let's get to it!

First up, some cool random sh*t I found at the flea market on Saturday:
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118872212_2862642153835425_7183525448370393453_o.j pg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=QlErewTSUS4AX-c0rZ0&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=e35b814718847ffd199a888dbaeaf496&oe=5F7FF91E
- "Swashbuckling" Peter Pan from the Mattel "Hook" series. I liked the movie just fine as a kid, but never bought any of the toys. They seemed to come and go very quickly. This was on the wall at the flea market forever and they had moved it up closer to the register as if they were desperate to be rid of it already, so this was kind of a "Pity Buy". With my discount I probably actually got it for free if we wanna get technical.

- Scott Hall from the very questionable Original San Francisco Toymakers "WCW Monday Nitro" series. One of those infamous "vibrating" figures that nobody can figure out. Awful likeness and the "action feature" is ridiculous, BUT it was the first WCW figure of Scott Hall so it has some historical value. The OSFT WCW line isn't very big so I've gotten back into collecting it. None of the OSFT products were great but there's a certain charm to them anyway. Shockingly, the "vibrate" feature still works like new!

- Mattel "WWE Elite" series Miss Elizabeth! This was the main thing I went in for; I actually don't collect a ton of the Mattel WWE figures, only specific characters I'm after. But to my knowledge this is only the third Liz figure EVER produced by any company (Maybe I'm off by ONE or so) and she's always therefore hard to come by. Great recreation of her in her SummerSlam '88 attire, where she distracted DiBiase and Andre by removing her skirt to reveal her red bikini briefs, allowing Hulk and Macho Man to score a victory. Quite a shocking moment from the normally-demure Miss Liz!

- Kenner's "Legends of Batman" "Laughing Man" Joker. Another sort of "Pity Buy". I mostly have all the LoB figures I care about by now, because most of the line was crappy variants (They don't even have a "plain" Robin!) outside of a few key figures. But this was another one that's been collecting dust for years upon years, and it's honestly one of the less-offensive variants, so I said f*ck it. If I happen upon the other Pirate-themed figures from the set, I might pick them up for the sake of consistency, but otherwise I think I'm done with "Legends of Batman".

Next, another pick-up from the same flea market store...
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118858183_2862645653835075_1095485164449148366_o.j pg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=t9cWK6SyoFcAX_MmMfW&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=d0bf1f15da1378aad659f669b5c7ffb3&oe=5F7E36C6
- LJN WWF Greg "The Hammer" Valentine! Like most places, they always have a ton of beat-up LJN WWF figures for sale. This one needed a little touching up, as they all do, but aside from some chips and rub marks it wasn't in too bad of shape to begin with. I know it's "blasphemous" to some, but I can't stand having dirty or chipped-up figures on display, so I retouch mine. Hot bath, a scrub with some nail polish remover, and some black acrylic paint, and he looks like he just came out of the package!

There's another place at the flea market I started going to as well, since they have a larger selection of DC figures. That's where I picked up this guy:
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118880822_2862643313835309_1423111947883006764_o.j pg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=4XbKU_fCD_EAX8ERZik&_nc_oc=AQmDsz0X4OLLNOrZMmmpKQBVJSzn_6u-nWTvLwAIK2FTOB4qJwtdW7b99kgGoWxaKg4&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=b335c07b3ab1523a8ba885cf9a2604d5&oe=5F7F0094
- Mattel "DC Universe Classics" Superboy Prime! Right off the bat, I gotta say I still prefer the DC Direct version. This one has a weird face and head, his ears stick out too far, he's WAY too tall and lanky and his armor could use more detail. But, it's not a bad figure altogether and as I'm slowly getting into collecting the Mattel DC line he's a good pick.

That's it for stuff I got at the flea market. On to the mail!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/119105418_2862644223835218_7337170777880762375_o.j pg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=7MHgxNBvYV0AX9HoK01&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=a4dc92ce4d4c2a6c0a9770c130b38e5d&oe=5F7E2B32
- The Brow from Playmates "Dick Tracy" series. These are getting harder to collect now that I'm down to the last few I need - Flattop, Mumbles, Rodent, and of course The Blank, who I doubt I'll ever own because I don't think I'm EVER gonna drop two grand on a f*cking action figure. I actually had to buy this one from a seller in Australia, which wasn't TOO bad. Shipping cost more than the figure. I think Flattop is gonna be the hardest to find if the last three, he seems to come and go.

Can't let a week go by without MORE He-Man stuff...
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/119061642_2862648160501491_2570733310320413871_o.j pg?_nc_cat=101&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=QUP3Dngnfi8AX9F3ODM&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=b6803f7ca2ef8c097a46ff3ba391d20c&oe=5F7F253F
- Teela and Beast Man from the Super7 Filmation "Masters of the Universe" line! These are so great. I'm almost done with this whole series now - not counting variants like "Gold Statue" He-Man or "Crystal" Man-At-Arms; I have almost all the characters, though - which kinda makes me sad BUT it's great to finally have the cartoon versions of these characters in my "vintage" 5.5"-scale collection!

Just for fun, here's the original Mattel Beast Man alongside the Super7 Filmation version:
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118802738_2862652497167724_2506579185630500072_o.j pg?_nc_cat=108&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=FoB3RLh1gTQAX-qAmM0&_nc_oc=AQnxozwl7z8SvvRW3NzNs5pO9H_BXm7w9apQbh5kzG1 8efS7rfdRNXsKu-dm1yt6Eqk&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=8026a0fe59c7052dccded8282f21d848&oe=5F7E6076

Next up, some more vintage He-Man stuff...
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118785367_2862650790501228_4609965736651328564_o.j pg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=NbfasJL18cYAX_udxn9&_nc_oc=AQlf9mS-Dbmp2mcdgiq3YBsTovdCHzxasm9S-_zsOSg98odUTsBIiSqMQfhCAxnWapo&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=8b0749c3460249c8af01d97c7b2c6ee2&oe=5F7E6EAA
- Hordak and Whiplash from the original Mattel "Masters of the Universe" line! These are replacements for two figures I already had. Hordak fell apart forever ago and Whiplash must have gotten lost in one of the moves. But these are in GREAT shape!

Again, just for fun, here's Mattel Hordak with the Super7 Filmation version:
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118850506_2862654407167533_8114287714114463994_o.j pg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=7RD86onmNwcAX-OiEo9&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=1f6f87a6af6d5e59f673a8c166d89244&oe=5F7DE4D0

Gotta love it!
-------

There was ONE more awesome thing I got, but I'm about to hit the Image limit so I'll put that in the next post, because it really deserves its own space...

Alright, so FINALLY, after months and months of waiting, it FINALLY came in the mail this past Sunday... Super7 "Thundercats Ultimates" Lion-O!!!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118849947_2862655670500740_592343052867934612_o.jp g?_nc_cat=102&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=tM5pCFP3AokAX92S4kF&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=6bd086df3fec0a0fc518ea34f78ece90&oe=5F7F098A

:o:o:o

Some quick backstory: So a few years ago, Mattel got the license to do Thundercats figures, and released one single Wave in the scale of their "Masters of the Universe Classics" line. They then killed the line and no more characters were produced, leaving many people upset. Thankfully, Super7 entered an agreement with Mattel to continue the line using the existing molds and parts, with the first wave being a re-release of some of the Mattel "Thundercats Classics" figures with more accessories and new paint.

This is a GREAT thing for people like me who never even heard about the Mattel line as it was happening, as well as anyone who still wants to collect the few Mattel figures that came out. Last month, I saw the Mattel Lion-O selling for around $200-250 online, but now that this near-identical (but slightly improved in some ways) Super7 figure is finally in peoples' hands, the Mattel version's price has dropped by about half.

I haven't opened it yet - that's gonna be a video - but I gotta say, as a huge Lion-O fan I LOVE this figure. There is a TINY bit of paint bleed on the belt where the silver got onto the trunks, but it's not a huge deal to me, otherwise it looks incredible (there's nothing wrong with his belt buckle, that's some packing foam on the box window is all).

I love this thing. I'd already pre-ordered Cheetara, but now having this guy in my hands I'm gonna go ahead and get a bunch more of these figures. I know they've announced up through Wave 3, and I think they said they plan to do at least four waves. Probably get Mumm-Ra next and go from there.

FYI, I got this one through BigBadToyStore in case anyone was wondering. So far I've done well by getting lots of He-Man and Thundercats stuff from them, so I recommend them if you're interested in these. Which you should be! :tgrin:

Marvel Legends Movie Deadpool and Negasonic Teenage Warhead. I love the deadpool figure and Negasonic is cool. But I was able to get Wade's desert eagle guns out you have to dunk him in hot water to loosen the guns and now he can pack heat.

Got something nice in the mail today... STRATOS has joined the melee! :tgrin:
https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/119519004_2877280932371547_2763671994992904446_o.j pg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=Y0kRsTYNnrUAX-PywIE&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=f351f33e12cbdeeb447fbb13af68443c&oe=5F8503E6

Yet another one I never had as a kid but thankfully not too hard to find, and he's in GREAT shape!

Zodac is on the way, and after that I only need Blade and Gwildor and I'll have MOST of the vintage He-Man figures I need. Wave 6 is probably gonna stay out of reach since so many of them are so damn expensive, I mean if I ever come across them for a reasonable price that's fine, but I kinda don't feel like dropping a hundred bucks on Ninjor or Mosquitor. I'd LOVE a complete vintage set but I don't need to get them all that badly. It depends.

There are several figures I need weapons and armor for, and a couple that are broken, but not TOO many, thankfully. In some cases just the armor/weapons is only like $10 less than a loose complete figure, so we'll see how it goes.

Either way... getting there! :tgrin:

How... unfortunate. :lol:

Forgot about these I picked up at the flea market: Funko "Savage World: Horror" Michael Myers and Pinhead!
https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/119047418_2874084232691217_1424688041582722113_o.j pg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=aWki4uGV6dsAX9o1NR7&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=c746f06f326ed07b66bfc3f15b0383e3&oe=5F842D0D

I have the entire set of SW: Horror figures, now, as well as all the Mortal Kombat ones. Just need a couple'a Thundercats, a handful of the "DC Primal Age" and the entire Street Fighter II set they did, and I'll have all of Funko's 5.5 "-scale figures! I only need a small number of Super7's Filmation-style 5.5 "Masters of the Universe" figures to complete that series, as well.

It's weird; I prefer larger and more modern figures, but at the same time I can't get enough of this scale. I'd really like to track down all of the 80s knock-off lines from back in the day, as well. Like all the Remco and Sungold and Madison stuff. I love all'a that sh*t.

Got a couple things at the flea market today. First up, a couple of big Jakks WWE Classic Superstars scores, "Genius" Lanny Poffo and Yokozuna! I've been after these two for a while.
https://scontent.fphl2-4.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/119882551_2891222184310755_6771491687398358523_o.j pg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=lWm0YAlsqNUAX8izSXV&_nc_ht=scontent.fphl2-4.fna&oh=bdec8c71e4c37d5bae0645a5db787fa0&oe=5F8D074A

And perhaps an even BIGGER deal, I snagged the Resaurus Mach 5 from their old Speed Racer line! Pretty sure a buddy of mine who works with the flea market passed it along to them so it would in turn come to me. It's used/complete and the box has some wear, but I got it for a steal! Even more so because he apparently threw in a pair of Speed and Racer X figures as well! Not sure if he meant to do that or not, but thanks to that I ended up coming out WAY ahead on this deal!

Vulkro Mattel DC Multiverse figure. Its Amazon exclusive but I was able to get it from a third party seller off their site for 9.99 free shipping which was great for price and it came mint! With that I completed the 5 figure set for the Aquaman movie which includes Aquaman, Mera, Black Manta and Orm and those 4 contain the BAF Trench Creature.

I never got to pick up anything from this line when it was fresh. "Thankfully" it didn't last very long, so it's a small series and everything is fairly cheap, still. I got it in a bundle with a few other things, so I probably paid about $20 for it.

Sort of half-assedly making up for the fact that I never had an original Cat's Lair from the 80s line. :lol:

My new Disney Toybox Mandalorian arrived in the mail today, and I happened to find one lonely Evil-Lyn at Walmart. I was on the fence about her, and had at one point convinced myself to pass on her. I really hate the color! But oh well, she's the first MotU lady I've had a chance to take home. As for Mando, there was never any question. I do hate the beskar armor compared to his original beat-up look, but on this particular figure, I can't deny he still looks pretty great.

Been slowing down on purchases for myself for a few reasons - I've gotten a ton of what I needed from various lines, my wife's Birthday as well as Christmas is coming up, and also just plain want to keep a certain amount of savings in the bank - but I still try to hit the flea market weekly because they always get new awesome stuff in.

In the spirit of the season, I couldn't pass this one up... NECA "A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors" Freddy Kreuger action figure!
https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/121375590_2958208380945468_9179878155073930278_o.j pg?_nc_cat=107&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=oHubpgzJz3wAX-RCR7U&_nc_oc=AQlO-aP2SlI_XEeZ1Buf3tDjn3L_i_gCS-3oMjVIyCQOket6Z24txqA45p-_ghOJJFI&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=0ca23ff50ec9922d37413c91b137907f&oe=5FA995EC

I especially needed to get this because it's the first "proper" Freddy figure I've ever owned and only the second one overall. The first was the Funko "Savage World" 5.5-scale Freddy from a couple years ago, which is very cool for what it is but I needed a "real" Freddy so this was long overdue.

It was between this one and the first movie version, and it was a very tough decision (price was about the same), but in the end I went with this one because it has the more "iconic" look with the green stripes on the sleeves (in the first movie his sleeves were plain red but they switched it for the rest of the series) and also the chest/torso piece. Plus, the sweater on the first movie figure looked very slightly too large. So considering those minor factors this one narrowly took the edge and I may well pick up the other one if it's still there next week.

They also had Tuxedo Freddy but it was a little more expensive and I didn't want to get a variant Freddy before getting a "regular" one. All things in time! :tgrin:

The only ones the stores get around here are the Batman, Golden Armor Wonder Woman, and occasionally the regular and animated Superman figures.
The others turn up at the flea market sometimes but it'd be nice to pay regular price at Walmart for 'em.

So far I only have the first two Supermans, the first two Batmans, and the regular Wonder Woman. I've only seen those and Harley Quinn in person.

I've picked up a few things over the last few weeks but I kept forgetting to post them. So here's a few now.

First up, Hawkman from the 1990 Toy Biz DC Super-Heroes line! It took me a while to find this one at a reasonable price, and I still paid a little more than I wanted to since many of the others in the line are less, but whatever, one step closer to having the complete set!
https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/125185495_3044158772350428_2500307691878187511_o.j pg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=2&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=hdF6mFI3pw8AX9c39n5&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=43a100ee4703d3fb87652b08e632188d&oe=5FD42645
I only need Bob the Goon, Flash with the "Cloud" platform, and a replacement Mr. Freeze (mine has broken guns, like most of the loose ones) and I've have the entire series!

Next up, one of the Mattel Hulk Hogan figures! This one was also a bit up there, since Mattel didn't produce very many and they were all pulled from shelves when Hogan said some not-nice things on the internet a few years ago. But I think I have all of the Mattel Hogan figures, now. Not counting the crappy "Mr. America" create-a-figure because I don't care about that one.
https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/124927941_3044164509016521_3192454464906627242_o.j pg?_nc_cat=111&ccb=2&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=Upx-5UzofyUAX9fQ2d0&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=7553fb174a7f15cc86db74fe8e09c26e&oe=5FD6CBA1

There's only a few Hogan figures I don't own, now! :tgrin: Specifically, two LJN Hogan figures, a couple of OSFT WCW ones, and like 3-to-5 Jakks ones, and I think one or two Jakks TNA ones. Figure less than a dozen altogether. Not too bad!

The other figures I got recently were all He-Man stuff, so I'll post those in the appropriate thread. :)

Leo656

11-19-2020, 01:37 AM

A couple of things came in the mail today. I got a great deal on some cheap figures, as usual. Specifically, some of the WCW figures from Original San Francisco Toymakers, who had the license from 1995 through 1998 before Toy Biz picked it up. Their figures objectively were not fantastic, but they're a fun bit of history and they did get better as they went along. There also aren't that many of them, so I figured I'd start filling in a few holes here and there as the opportunity came up.

First up, one of the few Hogan figures I somehow missed from that line. I really wasn't collecting these all that religiously at the time since as I said, they weren't really stellar, but I always at least try to get every Hogan I come across. I'unno what happened, but anyway, I finally found one at a reasonable price:
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/126063189_3057258871040418_3725101930094347435_o.j pg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=2&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=HbrgiHZpKEYAX9g6GnE&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&oh=7e64d2b6fe3fadc7ef8c902dfb12a30a&oe=5FDC072F
This was from their 6-inch line towards the end. For the first few years they did big rubber figures with no articulation, similar to the old WWF LJN figures from the 80s. Then they did a very short line of figures that had extremely limited articulation, but were more infamous than anything for their bizarre "vibrating" feature. Then they came out with this series, which were a bit smaller, but had a bit more articulation as well as push-button action features. Still not great, but better than what had come before, certainly.

Next up, a set that I completely missed when they were fresh, also from OSFT, the Hollywood Hogan/Scott Steiner two-pack:
https://scontent.fewr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/125867656_3057244987708473_6001139532863995120_o.j pg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=2&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=C16GbMTpnswAX-ctgrg&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-5.fna&oh=b7e1bc184b0d06a8ed8fb51fa388f5b9&oe=5FDAC942

These were in 4-inch scale with limited articulation (but slightly more than the larger figures). I believe all of the characters were released individually, but most if not all of them were also released in these two-packs. Sting and Kevin Nash on single cards were the only ones I had so far from this particular set. They really didn't make very many different characters so it's not a really difficult line to collect.

Wrestling figures have certainly come a long way since 1997. I do look forward to collecting the rest of these, though.

Leo656

11-24-2020, 03:23 AM

Got this in the mail today... Mattel "DC Universe Classics" Green Lantern!
https://scontent.fewr1-6.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p526x296/127451798_3070275679738737_8582423706984459690_o.j pg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=2&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=A4kRtf8V2C0AX_FN799&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-6.fna&tp=6&oh=67efb85ab4ba3bcfb2da8fabd30d1fe4&oe=5FE3299A

Prices on these things are ridiculous considering how easy to find they were; I guess demand is just that high. This one wasn't bad, though. The seller even threw in one of those plastic Green Lantern Power Rings as a bonus. Nice.

I might have to settle for trying to buy most of these Loose/Complete. Not altogether bad, as the Mattels hold up very well and aren't very prone to breakage or whatever. I just prefer to get things in-package as much as possible, for one thing because I want to make sure I have full accessories, and for two, because I just plain like opening packages myself. :trazz:

I also found an okay-priced Silver Age Batman, but that's coming from Canada so it's gonna take a couple weeks.

- Original San Francisco Toymakers DDP and Ric Flair from their WCW 1998 line, Galoob Sid Vicious, and Hasbro Big Boss Man:

Both these guys needed a bit of touching up, I'm already 99% done with fixing them up. Volkoff didn't need much work but Snuka's outfit was almost entirely rubbed off.

And finally, The Man of the Hour, The Tower of Power, Too Sweet To Be Sour, Daddy... SUPERSTAR Billy Graham from the Jakks WWE Classic Superstars line! I've been after this one for a while:

I was pretty broke when this series was coming out, so I missed pretty much the whole thing. Which really pisses me off because they go for ridiculous prices now. I got a good deal on this one because the package is damaged.

This brings my DC Universe Classics collection of action figures up to a whopping Three. :trazz: Hopefully I'll get a couple for Christmas or something, I'unno.

So as mentioned in another thread, my flea market buddies are gonna cut me a (small) break on a couple of the WWF LJNs. I can get Ultimate Warrior and Hogan, but it's gonna cost me a couple hundred. :ohwell: There's only so much they can do, though; this particular set of WWF LJN figures - the final, "black card" wave - saw very limited release and they're pretty much like unicorns, even loose as these are. I mean Haku, Rick Rude, Big Boss Man, Black Singlet Andre... we're talking $100-300 apiece, easily. And these guys are marking them down a bit, too, since they're used and a little scuffed. You NEVER find a Haku.

This is gonna be a big hit - I almost never spend so much at once on just a couple things - but I'm never gonna come across another LJN Warrior figure AND have the money for it at the same time. Sometimes you just gotta take the hit.

At least they're gonna let me split it up. Picking up Warrior this weekend, Hogan next weekend. That's already a nice favor, as the rest of those things are gonna FLY right out the door. If they have any left at all by next Saturday I'll be shocked.

I mean, this is the entire set they got in. LOOK at that sh*t:

That's a few thousand dollars worth of WWF LJNs. I've almost never seen a collection like that in one place outside of hardcore collectors' showcases. I am so goddamn jealous.

I can not BELIEVE I could have bought almost every single one of these for $5-10 each back in the 1980s, but didn't care about them because "They're just statues and don't even move". :roll: Jesus, if I knew Then what I know Now.

Actually, the Warrior and other Black Card series figures were ALWAYS hard to find since LJN was getting out of the toy business to focus on video games. thus they had a ridiculously small production run (compared to the first two waves, which are about as common as sand at the beach). In the U.S. you pretty much had to buy the final wave through mail order for a whopping $19+ shipping each, outrageous by 1989 standards. This is why they're so incredibly rare "in the wild" and so expensive to find now, even loose.

As a kid, once I "smartened up" and started caring about these, I used to stare at those magazine ads and just salivate, wishing I could get them.

Even "just" Warrior and Hogan is still pretty good. I guess you can't have everything. Still... if this popped up back in July, I could've. :ohwell:

Ah well. C'est la vie. Still excited.
