[What's your favorite Batmobile? Ever.]

[My first thought was to say the Superfriends version, but this one is so awesome lit up at nite!

 

 

Found a pic of it:

[Does anyone have the problem with DCUC stands that I do?]

I forgot who I was using it with, maybe Starfire, but it seemed like the foot was rejecting the pegs and working its way off of it.

[DCUC Questions??]

ok, bit of a stupid question. I cant find my tape measure or ruler and I am wondering, what are the packages dimensions?

 

Wave 13 Cheetahs card is 10 inches tall, 7.5 inches wide, and the blister is 3 inches deep.

[Jonah Hex Trailer]

I have Weird Western Tales but I never read them. I have the Blackest Night Hex issue and it was pretty kool.

 

The trailer looks pretty sweet, but I can never understand why movie companies can't just do era-appropriate weapons?

[I hate the C&C or BAF concept!!!!!]

Just ignore the rant. Obviously Xorr doesn't get it.

 

I calculate the Collect & Connect part cost is factored into the cost of each figure in a given wave.

 

I both buy figure I do not want to get the part and buy loose parts.

 

What is really upsetting are the plain blue stands. Figure with stands are the same price as one with C&C parts. You know they just toss in stands that didn't sell on Matty Collector in there.

 

Now aside from their "anime" look Public Enemies figures were:

 

#1 an exclusive

#2 cheaper

#3 had both a stand and C&C part.

 

A far better deal, but again "forced" you buy extra Batmans or Supermans. Not me. I traded for the pelvis and I still need the right arm.

 

But you gotta do what is right for you.

[DC FIGURES IN ACTION]

The story is progressing nicely. One criticism though. I do not like Mantis going from organic to robotic. Maybe a human into Man-Bat, a Joker thug into Clayface, or something would be better?

[Aquaman / "Blue" Manta WalMart Exclusives: When do they arrive?]

Soon, I hope. I'm looking forward to getting the box.

[How to fix Mattel's quality control screw-ups?]

Tell me something here: has there been a toy company/toy line in the last 50 years that has NOT had quality control issues?

 

I don't recall ever really having an issue with TOY-BIZ MARVEL figures in the mid-to-late 90's.

 

However, when they released MARVEL LEGENDS, that was a different story altogether.

 

This is a lie! It sometimes took forever to find a figure with a good paint job. I finally gave up on a Tarantula and finally just quit because the Marvel figures were evolving into 5 1/2-6 inch scale.

 

I never gave Legends a chance because the over articulation and horrid paint jobs turned me off.

[DC FIGURES IN ACTION]

Pooda <-- awesome stuff! @notworthy@

 

Ironspiderman <-- Great story, and action. I dunno what the dimesional machine was or was made from but it is simple and I like it, even the clear vortex. Good job for what you were working with! @peace@

[Which Cobra Commander is the best]

The light blue Cobra issue helmet only rested on the silver "true" helmet, so when he hit the cypress branch it only knocked off kilter.

Issue #24 is wher he told Duke about the shaped plastique.

 

Back in the day, I only used the hooded version.

I felt it matched the darker blue of the Cobra troops better.

Later in Battle Corps, I switched to the black hooded version.

Even later than that, I used the black mask crew cut Star Brigade head on the black hood body.

 

Now I only collect 25th style, I use a darker blue battle helmet version, because the choices on hooded is either too light or too dark.

 

The 1987 Battle Armor Commander has its own use as an armored soldier. It would have been perfct if they did a masked trooper head with the removable armored helmet, like the 25th CP version did.

[Who iss their pants first Rick Jones vs. Jimmy Olsen?]

For whatever reason, It didn't accept "Who'd piss their pants first Rick Jones vs. Jimmy Olsen?

 

Anyways, it was a goof thread, mocking the others.

[Who iss their pants first Rick Jones vs. Jimmy Olsen?]

Inspired by the total train derailments of the other "who would win...." threads.

Just totally abandon this idea. You are ruining your bots, unless you are starting a kitbash.

[Ideas for the lantern corps in DCUC]

Anyways...back on topic.

 

What has the possibility of being made by mixing parts and repaints:

 

Sinestro Corps Amon Sur (repaint Abin Sur)

Sinestro Corps Lyssa Drax ( Karu Sil body with a Starfire head & hair)

Sinestro Corps Scarecrow

Green Lantern Tomar Tu

Blue Lantern Flash

Orange Lantern Luthor

[The Better Specter]

The Glow in the Dark is a cool feature and in the dark that one is the better choice, but IMO the regular figure, for just normal appearances is the better looking figure.

 

Exactly how I feel.

[clear eradicator goggles]

Yeah, I got 2 (or 3, I forget) of those if it was the same guy, and traded one to CA. They aren't that great though, because the resin stays tacky long after they come out of the mold, and there were some air bubbles. And on mine, the yellow coloring bled all over. And the caster says it's not cost effective to cast them and sell them even at $5 each.

 

I accidentally destroyed mine as well, when attempting to clean them.

 

As for Riddler, the only complaint I saw was that there were no q-marks on his arms. You'd think they could fix that, but NOOOOOOOO...

 

 

yup!...same guy. as for riddler, im glad they didnt fix him. i dont wanna buy another set just for him.

 

But deep down, you know you want it.

[My Neal Adams Batman]

WOW! Amazing.

[Cobra N.A.T. (Night Attack Team)]

looks good except the missile mount is backwards.

["OH GOD!! We need a Medi-Viper now!"]
