  1. Sweet, Chopz. I went to my Target and they had bubkiss. I'll try another one tomorrow.
  2. As far as Fwoosh's size, which isn't really that relevant, their forum says the most people online at the same time was 182, back in July of 2008. While their members may post a lot, that doesn't seem like an outlet reasonably calculated by Mattel to make amends to the people who felt ripped off by not getting the Gleek they thought they were getting. I would have been mighty pissed if I had gotten that set. And remember, some people had other people waiting in line to hook them up with the set. The person buying the set might not have had any idea about the significance of Gleek. The whole Gleek thing seems to have irritated a lot of fans from start to finish. Presumbably that would be the opposite of good marketing. Mattel really dropped the ball.
  3. So here's the question - when Mattel ran out of the monkies, did they lower the $40 price? 2-packs are usually $25 on Matty, right? Then that's $15 for the monkey. A little steep. You'd think they would have lowered the price if the set was no longer going to include this very rare, and therefore valuable, pack-in.
  4. Just to let everyone know, the GI Joe panel is going to be at 11:30 today. Check the main Toy News page for the live updates. Toy News coverage will begin shortly after the panel starts and new info will be added continuously, so remember to hit refresh.
  5. So far I haven't been too psyched for these toys but at that price I might give it a shot.
  6. This better not be it for 2010, 6 new MLs. I guess we'll know more in a couple of weeks.
  7. I was thinking the same thing. Marvel said they didn't want spoil their movie star characters by giving people/parents the image of them as felsh-eating zombie. I guess someone decided ticket sales wouldn't be compromised. I mean if fans aren't boycotting Spider-Man movies over Brand New Day or the Clone Saga, why would Spider-Man zombie do it?
  8. Warpath does look great. I like the Maddrox, too. Lady Bullseye looks really good and I'd be happy to get her, though she's never been on my want list. There are a lot of characters I'd rather get first.
  9. I wanted to be on board with IH when I first heard about it, but the character designs are just not exciting. It looks like a so-so kids toy, which is fine, but that means it's not meant for me, an adult collector who wants more. I like detailing and a reasonable amount of poseability. T-crotch's are going to be a deal break. I also want a head that tilts back for flying poses. I'm happy for Mattel if the kids are buying the line, but I want more.
  10. I liked it alot, too. Very interesting alternate future for the characters. I've read it a few times now. There's sequels, too, though they aren't as good. I particularly liked the handling of Captain Marvel.
  11. Clutch. He's a driver, he chews gum, he hits on chicks. What's not to like?
  12. That was a nice custom. It's not a Nazi uniform though, which maybe why Hasbro chose that over a more scale compatible figure from Joe. They obviously have no problem borrowing molds from the Joe department based on what was released in the Hulk movie line.
  13. I bet it's a scam. I bet they only offered like 10 pieces of the new 2 pack just so they could say they sold out, making everyone think they're a hot item and thereby boost future sales. The symbol on Ultraman looks odd and clunky,limiting my interest in getting him.
  14. 1. What item(s) have you bought or tried to buy from Mattel/MattyCollector.com I bought the Starfire and Adam Strange 2-pack. Starfire was an acceptable figure but I was really pleased with Strange. I didn't know much about the characted and would not have bought the figure in a single pack, but I really am impressed with him and glad I have him. I tried to buy the Hordak but he was sold out. 2. Are you in the United States or a International customer USA! USA! USA! 3. What overall grade do you give Mattel/Mattycollector.com in regards to your experience with them; A, B, C, D or F. A- for quality C- for availability B average
  15. That's a good idea. I wonder if a head swap with Invaders set RS will look good on that body?
