Raving Toy Maniac

...with the better articulation we're seeing in the newer figures they are showing? One of my first reactions when I got the Munster figures was "why couldn't they make the Universal Monsters like this?!?!" Now I suddenly see the newer figures ARE made like that, with more articulation like Hermy Baby. Problem is, the big guns like Franky, Wolfy, the Creature, etc., are basically plastic statues with a few movable parts. I've wanted a series of fully posable, Marvel Legends/DCUC style figures of the classic UM monsters for years, with Toy Island's oddly proportioned attempt being the closest to what I hoped for. A Franky with Karloff's head and Herman Munster's body design would basically be the near perfect version of the character.

If there was a chance Diamond was going back to do the originals over with the new style, I'd be hard pressed to turn any of these down. But I stopped getting these figures after the Creature because they are statues, and I'm not jumping into these better made characters if the big names are going to stay as they are. Anyone hear anything about a do-over, or even the possibility of such?

I was curious, in your travels in Singapore (you are in Singapore, correct?) have you seen this motorcycle by any chance?
Just wondering where these are showing up.

Thank you.

The Marvel universe figures are boss. I would love to have a DC line like it. The infinite Heroes line kinda sucked. I like the articulation of Hasbro.

I really want that version. The figure looks cool! Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hey Buzzers,
I thought I would send and email to Mattel in regards what was posted about the Young Justice Line being axed. I totally dont want the line to end. Well here is thier email response to my email

My love for the Play Arts Batman figure has me wanting to read past TPB's that include art with him sporting the ominous, scary long, pointy-eared gear.

Does anyone happen to know which TPB's I should be looking for?

Thanks in advance!

This year will b my 2nd motuc sub with Matty & was just wondering if anybody else with this sub knows if shipping has gone up with ups? Last year i would get charged about 8.70 shipping but this year for a single figure it's a little over 13.00?! I didn't notice until last month when I only received kobra khan & then of course this month with thunder punch he man. Did I miss something?

I want the original M.A.S.K. vehicles reissued the most. I only had one figure and vehicle - Sly Rax and the Piranha - but I always thought the toys were fantastic. =)

Beast Saga figures

It looks interesting.

So I was checking out if there was any new news on the Avengers movie, and it appears that the Toys R Us in Times Square was proudly displaying the alien army (still no clue what these things are) with the Shield Helicarrier.

Make sure you read the post below the pictures because someone states about a find at Target with the Avengers Board Game. And I was just at Target getting the second wave of Redikai figures for $4.98. They will look really cool next to my Ben 10 figures.
