Raving Toy Maniac

These publications have long served as my "virtual collection" of items outside my budget. Both mags seem to have gone dormant. Anyone know what is going on?

I don't see myself purchasing anything other than the new TMNT figures (maybe the regular basic figures, but definitely the ones based off the the original cartoon), MP Soundwave and Buzzsaw, and eight or nine or so McFarlane Sportspicks (mostly older figures).

What are you most looking forward to in the second half of '12? =)

Not a JoeCon exclusive? Not an SDCC exclusive? Really?

Then, this weekend at the JoeCon panel, Hasbro tells fans to voice their desire for Kwinn if they want him. Hasn't that happened for almost a year now?

Sort of feels like something else is going on, at this point.

Anyone able to find Mr Freeze and Two-face or know the load out or these ?? also this is a kids toy not adult collector but I don't get why there making them hard to find...I found both of them at walmart but they only had one of each and they held it for me, talked to the employee and said it was the first of them he seen....

All the Walmarts that received this assortment within driving distance have been sitting on a mountain of Iron Mans & Captain Americas. I'm still trying to find Hulk & Hawkeye. I was hoping Walmart would have posted these on their website, but I don't think their exclusives have been solicited online outside of DCUC.

Anyone else picked up this figure yet? I have to say I absolutely love this guy, Not 100 percent into marvel but I came across him at barns and noble which seems to be the new hot spot for finding action figures.... I couldn't say no!! the sculpt and paint apps are just over the top !! I don't get why this quality cant make its way to all the other figures out there, he is a must have !!!

After months of searching, today I finally completed my ML W-2 set.
Target Commerce had a full pegging of the W-2 figures. I latched onto
the Masked Wolverine and Green Suit Spider-Man. There remains a
Green Wrecking Crew, 2 Cap America, Gold Mask Madame, Fantomex,
A Drax, and a Blue suit Iron Man. 14.99. Great thing was that none of
these new ones had any creasing or dents, which is unusual around
these parts.........we still have the Haggerty Bender striking once and
while on "new" figures

I feared that the 3rd series of Bioshock Figures would never hit retail but atleast the Brute Slicer did. Great addition to the Bioshock Line, and at only $15.99. There is still 2 more shown figures to be released..come on Spider Slicer....

I snagged a set of the Batman through a trade and would like to get a set to open.

Any see or hear anything?

Thx
