Raving Toy Maniac

Has anyone bought any of these base figures & costume sets yet? The costumes look (very) well made, but...

The character masks make the proportions of these unfortunate figures truly comical, IMO. HUGE noggins. Some have suggested that some third party can make a fortune designing (smaller) masked heads to swap out with the factory Captain Action heads & masks. But I'm not holding my breath!

These new base Cap Action figures are a bit undersized anyway. Perhaps I could find a larger, beefier 12" body that would look more in proportion to the Cap Action Head and, for instance, the Captain America mask? I have a spare, Deluxe Max Steele body laying around...remember him? The deluxe figures were pretty well articulated and buff.

Thoughts?

Supposedly, everything that DCC will sell in stores will also be available on the web ... 'directly' .

They're opening up the website in May with a few exclusives, including a Flashpoint Box set (with the unreleased Emperor Aquaman).

Not such much these days, but I was a big Peanuts & Snoopy fan as a kid.

These new vinyl UDF figures look very nice...even if they are a bit smallish for my old eyes to appreciate...

Toys on clearance at TRU. Show abandoned. Over before either could really start.

What happened...?

Looking at my collection of Packers I was just thinking how much I'd like a Mason Crosby and was wondering about the chances of that.

Since the relaunch, I have never seen these in a brick and mortar store but for an occasional multipack (Fantastic Four or something like that). I'm interested in picking up (once he's released) a few of the Avengers movie Loki and (already released) Hope Summers for LOTR customs, but several trips to the stores have left me, well, without Hope. Does Target, TRU, etc. even carry these in their retail outlets? Thank you,

I know there are limitless possibilities...here's a few cool ideas...

DCUC Samurai sword to ML Nightcrawlwer (soul sword)-Awesome!
ROML Bucky Cap desert eagle pistol to ML Forge or LCSB Judge Dredd
ROML Madame Hydra green needle gun to DCUC Green Lantern (construct)
DCUC Bronze Tiger sword (also Deathstroke sword) to DCUC EL Dorado
DCUC Bronze Tiger staff (also Deathstoke staff) to ML Gambit
ROML Bucky Cap shield to ML Winter Soldier
ML Dr. Doom Luger to ML Face-off Red Skull

Got any idea's folks?

How would you do it in a storyline? You have Marvel Universe and DC Infinite heroes which could easily go together in one universe but how would you fit in Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Terminator Salvation and GI Joe? Basically I am asking some of you to come up with a way all could be in one storyline. GI Joe I was thinking could be headed up by Nick Fury as a part of Shield. Terminator Salvation could be advanced Sentinels etc. The Jedi could be a group of humans and mutants that join together to learn a common religion type thing.

While the news that Young Justice is being discontinued is very disappointing and the future of DCU figures in general from Mattel at retail seems to be in doubt, at least we got some good news today:

DC Direct solicited DCnU Flash and Parademon today.

Hey, at least it's something.

MP-11 Masterpiece Starscream is awesome. Finally makes up for the all the changes (color & sculpt) made between the prototype pics and what we finally got w/ MP-3 (Greenscream). Now I want the rest of the seekers in this mold (although, not at this . Bring on Sideswipe!
