Raving Toy Maniac

Now with the Mystery Army of Loki being revealed, and since the Black Widow was not part of the first 2 waves, and the Steve Rogers face on the Captain America figure not on the shelf yet, (I am hoping for a Tony Stark head on a Iron Man body to be released) will there be a 3rd wave of Avengers figures going to be released?

I am assuming there will be a maskless Hawkeye figure too...

So will a 3rd wave be release for Christmas? Or will the Marvel Universe take up the rest of the figures for the year, regarless, there are new figures to be added to the collection....wonder if there will be a white/black Fantastic Four Spidey or a Black and Green suit Spidey released for the 3 3/4 scale..

I would imagine they should already be in stores but nothing is on ebay for them. Does anyone have the set street date? I wanna see how well they work for Guy in suit to go with the gi joe figures.

If you caught the first one one I did -- here's another comparison slideshow of stars of various movies and TV shows in comparison to their plastic alter egos! Check 'em out and comment -- which likeness is the best?

I was reading through his awesome Terrax review and I was thinking how easily he could be made out of a JLU Darkseid. Then I saw the picture with Darkseid actually in it and it sealed the deal. 2 days later, here we are:

The colors turned out a little brighter because I just took this quickly with my iPhone rather than actually setting up a nice photo shoot. He's made entirely from a JLU Darkseid with vinyl and sculpting, and his axe is cobbled together from the parts bin, with a paintbrush handle being the main body, a missle tip at the end and Mad Hatter's microphone at the top, and a plastic bubble blade. I really like how he came together!

Thanks a lot Noisy! Any other cool figures you think I should make in Animated style?

I finally did a toy review on my blog for these two awesome pieces of plastic. The language isn't that bad for a change, either (I think I only use the eff-dash-dash-dash word once), so please feel free to peruse my terrible pictures and abide my ramblings here: http://swiftonthefringe.blogspot.com/?zx=10616868a1823c6f

My curiosity has finally gotten the better of me. I want to read about the Sinestro war, Blackest Night, all of the Rainbow Lanterns and Brightest Day. Can you all give me some guidance as to the best TPB's to get to understand everything that has happened and in what order I should read them? Thanks! Oh, just to keep this on topic, Mattel really needs to give us a first appearance/costume Kyle Rayner Green Lantern figure for either the sub or retail line- 6" of course. Thank you everyone!

Here's my review: Review > Farewell to Arms Ash & Deadite Ash (Evil Dead II, NECA)

I just can't get over how badly I wanted something like this when I was a teen. It took twenty years, but finally they're here. Can't wait for Hero Ash and Henrietta. And I have to thank NECA for giving him leg articulation - otherwise these would have been profoundly disappointing.

Is anyone else thinking of taking the plunge? It's pricey, but I guess it's not big deal if you're already used to paying SOC prices for die cast robots. I'm a little hesitant, as it's coming from what appears to be a relatively untested company.

But it sure looks nice.

Hi, I've been away from collecting for a while and I just came back to find that the DCUC as we knew it ended with wave 20. I've done some googling and can't find any recent information about what Mattel has in store for us now with the DC Universe. Can someone please update me on what's going on?

Anyone have a Hasbro toy shop code? Wanted to place an order and didn't know if there was a promo code out there. Thanks!
