Ergh, I knew I shoulda checked the one over on Cobb in Marietta today.....only checked Hiram. Maybe they will have some tomorrow over there. It's close. Just gotta grab a classic Aquaman and Firestorm before they're gobbled up. Hopefully the rest will be plentiful.

Thanks for the info. Don't feel bad about not finding a Tom Jane Punisher fig. I only saw it at Suncoast video one time and didn't get it. I wish I had though. I do have one of those little wind up thing that Toy Biz put out using the 1/6th sculpts with little bodies. I bought that and the Bullseye one, so I can probably mod those to use as 1/6th figs. Kinda cool they had a Colin Ferrell sculpt that never got used for a full figure.

Where'd you get an iron on skull patch? I'd like to get one for a Punisher kitbash. Looks pretty good, even though I've never liked that headsculpt. I'd probably go with a Jane before the first issue Frank.

I usually check the one on Cobb, near Best Buy. They rarely have anything.....

Which Target? The one next to the closed down Comp USA?

They're actually made by Medicom and released here in the US by Sideshow Toys. It's a company based in Japan, which is why they are so much more expensive. You have to see them in person though to appreciate them. They also did an X3 Wolvierine that looked pretty dead on to Hugh Jackman. Way better than those Marvel Studios 12" figs from a few years ago. Just way more expensive.

Cmdr, what Captain Atom is that? Is that the McG version? Doesn't look too much like it.

I sorta made one using a 12" Gung Ho Joe figure that came out a few years ago. You'd have to look back for it, maybe even eBay. I am actually gonna make a 12" custom someday when I can get around to it. They apparently had one planned because when they released all those motorized "big heads" about a year ago, they had Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Punisher and a Colin Farrell Bullseye! I believe it was designed for a Marvel Studios fig that never got made. I have one and I am gonna stick it on a 12" fig body and "kitbash" the costume together. Shouldn't be difficult because I have tons of gear being a 12" customizer already.

You should probably do a search on evilBay for local sellers selling complete sets of Marvel Legends. You'll probably find them all there. Unless it is a comic shop guy who is doing alot of price tagging right now. I used to be a store manager also for KBtoys back years ago. My former boss used to have a list of dealers in the area to do what everyone else has said. If we got a big Hot Wheels shipment, I was supposed to call these people. I threw that list in the trash. First come, first serve. Unless I knew you were a dealer. Then I ousted the jerks and called security when they got mouthy. One HW scumbag dealer hung around the employee doors eyeballing the boxes we were bringing in from a shipment. We got into it and I ended up throwing him out too. It gave me a little satisfaction getting these guys all hot and bothered when I upper handed them. Probably not too many employees do that. Anyone who doesn't believe they got alot in, they probably got quite a few cases. Don't forget where KBs put all there money......closeouts. Toy Biz is practically giving away all of their Marvel stock so KBs took all of it I am sure. Smart move. Too bad all I need is variant FO2's.

I am about to start on my ideal version of the JLA. It will consist of my favs from the Perez era, and the Hughes era. I am using my HUSH Batman as the centerpiece for scale comparison. I already have the latest Power Girl to go along with him. Now here is my dilemma. I have been looking over the AR Justice Wonder Woman and the JLA boxset Wonder Woman. Which would be more ideal for size? I like the Ross WW, but it looks very out of place. Most of the pics I have seen of everyone's collections, they are using the boxset style WW (I know she was released as a JLA fig too, right?) What is everyone's opinion? Does anyone have straight on comparison shots? Thanks....

I bought it.....couldn't resist. Looks rather cool to me. Here's some comparison pics with some Icons.

Someone had made a custom Mandarin using a TB LOTR Council Elrond body.....that's probably what I'll do, if I can find one still. Elrond's dress was part of the figure, not a separate piece.

When I was there at 5 yesterday there was 2 W/S packs and one P/J pack left. Probably gone by now. That's ok Dreda, I've found variants like 4 times now. I really don't need anymore......lol.

Ah, so you are the one who took all those figs! Haha.....I was there around 5 tonight, and saw all the pilfered boxes. I knew there were variants the way the boxes looked. Thank God a collector got them and not a dealer. Did you grab the FO2s also? I saw the remnants, but no variant IM/Mandarin. None of either version actually. Gonna check my local TRU for them this weekend, hopefully will find at least that one. I don't even care about the rest.....the Punisher fig looked pretty horrible up close. And the S/W set looked bleak. Saves me money.......

I think almost everyone in GA has found those variants now. I wonder if we got all the variants while the other states got none. It seems like it.
