  1. So what's gonna happen with the Cyborg Superman that's shown on the side of the packaging? I'd guess that since he's made trouble in more than just the Return of Superman storyline, he isn't 'story specific' anymore. Since he's a member of the Superman family of characters, he's fair game.
  2. Flash, WW, Cyborg & Manhunter don't fall under the Batman/Superman licenses. Those are the only characters Mattel is allowed to make (so far) in the DCSH line. Hopefully that changes - because I really want to see the entire DCU done by the 4Horsemen.
  3. Cornboy is talking over at a certain Raving site - he said not everything that's done was shown (obviously). He thinks Mattel is saving DCSH for SDCC.
  4. I suspect this is only a fraction of what Mattel will be offering from DCSH this year gang. Notice how Manbat is the ONLY Batman related fig? I'm pretty confident that I'm right when I say that there's more coming. That said, that Bizarro repaint is AWESOME!! (Glad I've held off purchasing him!) The Batman? Meh. I'm done. Scale is crazy, repaints all suck and a Batmobile transfomer? No thanks.
  5. I know for a fact that Mattel has been working on getting these OK'd by DC for at least 3 years. I thought they'd be shown at Toy Fair '06, but apparently something caused a delay. Glad they're finally going to get 'em out!
  6. It is spam. I've seen the exact same post & exact same name, on about 7 different forums this past week. The forums are totally unrelated - some are big forums like this one, others are small local sports radio boards. Too much of a coincidence IMO.
  7. Please. We're all sitting behind a computer screen. We all have real jobs and real lives. This is a written forum. Any 'tone' that you're detecting is in your own mind - nothing implied by me or anyone else here. Then please stay on topic and discuss the ToyBiz line. If you want to talk Shocker start a new thread. (One last suggestion on the Shocker topic - if you're going to do business with Shocker do some research on the company - what product they've put out, what product they've said they were going to put out and didn't, who they've p!ssed off, etc. Good luck with your characters - the designs look pretty decent.) Synch - I don't think Archie figures are even remote possibilities. There were some Betty & Veronica Barbies released a couple of years ago - they didn't sell well IIRC. That's probably about as close as you're gonna get. Groo (and Cerebus) would be great pack ins - similar to Howard the Duck and Impossible Man. Unfortunately I don't think Dave Sim is interested in doing any figures of Cerebus. @grumpy@
  8. Great. That's where your post should have ended. Actually, they were in the making at about the same time and, FYI, it's not a unique concept. Aren't those the things that were supposed to ride on kids' shoulders? To be honest, they're most famous for spam on forums such as this one (they've got a long history of doing so here...) and for making bold claims about characters they're making and then not coming thru. So, for fans fo these characters, its a good thing that ToyBiz stepped in and will actually put the figures on shelves for fans to buy. Andrew - don't get me wrong - you could have the greatest thing since sliced bread but lining up behind Shocker is not a good thing. Just ask the people from AC Comics, Bucky O'hare, Toxic Crusader, etc, etc. As far as GWAR, since you brought it up - they were supposed to be out by now. I wonder why they're still in the prototype stage?
  9. Potential, yes. In Shocker's hands, no. Shocker has had options on characters in the past and dropped the ball EVERY time. Just to name a few: 2000AD characters (such as Judge Dredd and Rogue Trooper), Bucky O'Hare and AC Comics (ie Femforce). All of which are better known than the vast majority of the characters Shocker supposedly has contracts with currently. I'll believe Shocker is capable of pulling this off when I see the toys on the shelf. Until then, the best bet for the indy characters you all want is Toy Biz. Need more proof? Look at the Shadowhawk proto (or the Gwar protos) vs the Pitt proto. HUGE difference.
  10. Based on the mock up I saw back in December, no. They're the same figs.
  11. I just got the email on this. It's so frickin' COOL!! Batman LEGO Comic Con Exclusive news If anyone can get one for me, I'll happily pay you for it. PM me to work something out!!

  13. Really sorry to hear that VH. Been there, done that. It sucks. If you ever need to chat, feel free to pm me.
  14. Glad to see someone else using my Aliens playset idea to display their 'mates! Nice display Diesel!
