  1. Horrendous. To think I was hyped for these listings months ago. I supported what he did in 2021-22 but it's now easy to walk away, like I did 20+ years ago. Fortunately I have plenty to be excited over and this helps my budget quite a bit. But still......what could have been!
  2. Like I said above I really wanted a Bjorns Barends piece and this is HALF that. I hate it when fans are like "I'll wait for a sale" and I wonder if that's why we're getting such lazy stuff now. I guess I can see Todd's perspective there, but Damn. Now I will be the fan waiting for a sale. Throne Spawn was underwhelming so not happy that's what this is essentially, with some accessories and it's $50?? And the @##@@ wings again - seriously! It's taking advantage of fans. It costs him support I think. How's that Kickstarter coming?? It's just not fun. However I think the newly tooled torso and arm look fantastic honestly. If they had done likewise with the leg pouches I would be singing a different tune. So I will have to mod him accordingly even though I shouldn't have to. I will wait for a sale.
  3. Same here my friend, I was so "ugh" when I saw this yesterday. The Medieval Spawn was exact to the Bjorns Barends cover and I wanted that here. He did a cover with "minions." Redo the leg pouches and such. I'm pretty aggravated with Todd. Especially after that Batman 2 pack. That said, I'm now looking at GI Joe custom fodder to make him what I want and like the new arm and textures. So I could give it a shot. But I want cooler stuff in 2024. How about a retro wave.
  4. Love the sound of it. He has his misses, but so much of his stuff is awesome. I think he is getting "in front" of leaks...a couple days late. Rumor is First Appearance figures for Superman, Green Lantern and Abyss are Wave 1. More high end. I'm hoping we see him revisit some Spawn characters and designs from the 90s as well. I'm happy paying more for more - it wouldn't be an insane number of purchases anyhow.
  5. Look closer this is all new. Maybe shares some CAD files, but the details are different. Similar to MK Spawn. If he was gonna make an all new Spawn then why not make it look like the current art? I guess if you liked MK Spawn but wanted a comic styled variant then here you go! I will modify the leg bags at least. Anyway he looks great and very stoked for 2022 in the Spawnverse!
  6. Love it all - hope I can get an extra Gunslinger now without difficulty. I wanted Soulcrusher back when I saw Todd reveal his artwork way back in 2016 or early 2017 - he looks amazing!! By the way, Overtkill is the MegaFigure in the wave after this one for the poster who mentioned it. Each big figure might be getting cooler and cooler
  7. What makes you say that?? Listings show we've got Reivers, GeneStealers and Deluxe Orks coming. I'm stoked, his Space Marine might be my fave figure right now.
  8. Yeah I want Series 3 and 2 for that matter as well. But history seems to show these guys as being con-artists rater than legit businessmen. Or they just cannot bring figures to market. I'm not expecting these series unfortunately.
  9. That's interesting. I know Shocker Toys was mad, but the fact is that creators went with Toy Biz and they actually got figures. I don't think a lawsuit would hold up to be honest. As I said before, part of the problem was that Toy Biz planned on or needed for LCBH to pick up right where Marvel Legends left off and that couldn't happen. I love Image and think they have a strong fololowing, but our culture is very superficial. If it's not a movie or cartoon or on a t-shirt (most of which is stupid) then people overlook it b/c they are dumb. The truth hurts, there are good things out there if you look. I really wanted Aphrodite IX, Grendel and Vanguard. Would've loved more Cyberforce and for Diehard and Badrock to finally get made. It'd be cool if they still held the license and did some type of 'creator-choice' exclusive line.
  10. I know, it's killing me too! I just hope ToyFair next month sheds more light on them. I want commitment from Playmates as I really want these figures. Fall could be end of summer too....so maybe like 7-8 months, please!?
  11. This news was given at the Fall ToyFair, right?? I really, really want the Classic Comic Turtles. Wanted that since the 90s from Playmates. Question, does Fall 2010 possibly mean Summer? I don't feel like waiting a year. And are they REALLY coming this time? We saw these pictured a while ago. I don't need my hopes dashed again. Any answers from those who are in the know would be great
  12. I think a lot of people of bought these, but they were overordered. Sales not meeting projections for dumbass Walmart doesn't mean they sucked. The truth is that oil and The American Dollar were a real problem and Marvel, evildoers that they've become, decided to close it all down. That's the word. The company shut down, LCBH was in the wrong place at the wrong time. However I'd love to see a McFarlane Image United line someday soon. More of a direct type line. A few years ago he made figures of shortlived new characters like Disciple, Thamuz, New Spawn etc. Now, we have a real new Spawn, Haunt a new Kirkman character, Al Simmons as a bad guy and Image United as a big story w/ new status quo. If there was ever an Image line deserving to be made, that would be it. Shocker is a total joke. I hope they don't get any more licenses. The idea behind the line is great, but they just blow. 1 series in 3 years and lotsa excuses. No signs of Wave 2. Great.
  13. YESSS!!! I agree. Wave 3 was sweet, but waves 10 and 11 are outstanding!! I hlope hunting isn't too frustrating. The stuff they are putting out right now is so good that I'd go the online route to get them fast even though I rarely do that.
  14. I've kinda ignored these posts until it seems like lately the sky is falling with the price increase..... hopefully Mattel rushes out as many new figures and sculpts as possible before it's too late. For me, it'd have to be: Dr. Midnite Hourman Sandman Allan Scott Wally West Raven Guy Gardner Kyle Rayner Heat Wave Metal Men I think most of them are a shoe-in, but right now all bets are off.
  15. Fine I'll stop reading. I'm not defending Shocker and I'm not a fan of generalizations b/c there is likely an exception, but I don't see anything constructive in just bitching about a guy and essentially not having anything new to say. I would think at this point people might be positive, but we have resolute negativity and that's a loss. So you carry on with whatever your issue about Shocker and while it's not identical to every other scathing post there is a common denomnator there. I don't even own these, but I don't get how someone can hate a toy maker like he was Hitler or Mengel or someone. I'm not sure why the hell I'm on these boards so much any way.
