They're not nice....I bought the Captain Atom (as he was Steve Trevor's war buddy in Perez continuity....so I needed him for the WW collection). Dude's arms look like stubby little flippers. Overall nasty piece of shit, that.
I passed on this wave myself. I'm pretty much Superman/Batmanned out & the others just didn't interest me. I'm looking forward to the JSA Atom 2pack & the Huntress fig from the Crisis waves.
Quote: Beardguy57 said: Love to have a COMPLETE JSA set!
Same here. For me a complete set would include Mr. Terrific, Johnny Thunder, Star-spangled Kid & Hawkgirl from the gold/silver ages. That makes for a crowded shelf so I'll probably pass on the modern age JSA figs even though they look pretty snazzy.

Best Wonder Woman from DCD:
I like this WW but it's pretty much a statue (a tippy one at that). The FA WW is the one I use on the JSA shelf.
Quote: thedoctor said: What do you expect? It's based on crapass Ed McGuinness art.
Fixed your post for you.
They're both terrible. I just confused the crapass Superman/Batman line with the crapass Identity Crisis line that DCD put out recenlty. Both are absolutely shit-tastic sculpts.
Yeah, better yet it's the one from Jim Shooter's classic run on Avengers. That would pretty much complete the lineup for my bookcase cept Jocasta. It's been fun seeing characters that you would never figured being made in stores right & left.

I always liked Jocasta. Her being a robot was rather unique. Too bad they destroyed her. Damn....
That's pretty cool. I'll have to do some searching for that in the near future.
Now, let's play a game called "DC Direct vs. (Mattel) DC Superheroes." I'll post pictures of figures as made by both companies and you judge whose kicks more ass.
Let's get started with some side-by-side comparisons starring the figures from DC Superheroes wave 4:
DC Direct (DCD) Crisis on Infinite Earths Brainiac(left), DC Super Heroes (DCSH) Brainiac (right)
Quote: Beardguy57 said: Klinton - Here is a MY LITTLE PONY episode for you..and no, it is not APOCALYPSE PONY again.
Thanks, Beardy...but I really didn't like those ones. That's from the 'Pony Tales' series that ran long after I outgrew ponies (only to re-connect with them in my late 20's... ).
It's all about the original pilot episode in my head actually ('Escape From Midnight Castle' or 'Firefly's Adventure')...everything that's come since is complete shit.
Quote: klinton said: You can read a fun review of the episode here.
That was indeed a fun review, Klinton! I now have a much better understanding of MY LITTLE PONY...and why you might like it :
It is a metaphor for gay and lesbian life. We just want to be left alone to do our thing, and it seems there's always someone out there who, one way or another, wants to fuck with us.
MEM, I'm still pissed at DCD for shutting down the SA Legion figures with only 12 more LSH members to go..they'd have had them ALL out by now! And that represents MOST of the girl members..and my FAV LSH member of ALL time..Karate Kid.
You might try finding a Colossal Boy from the SA set, though..I have one. I also have a custom Wilfdire, too! I am rather certain Wildfire is the first new member to join the LSH since Chemical King and Timber Wolf.

Actually that was an old pic before there was a SA Colossal Boy & Ferro Lad. When DCD released them I picked them up & Ferro Lad was redone into a respectable looking Wildfire. Dream Girl is actually one of my poorest looking customs. The Supergirl from the first Supes wave made a good base for Triplicate Girl, Phantom Girl & Shadow Lass.

Cool that you have a Wildfire!
Could you post updated pics of your collection soon? Would love to see!
But why aren't there any building block play sets? They made Batman building block play sets. They even made one of Superman fighting Darkseid. But they haven't made any for Marvel.
No, the Mini-Mates. The company made a bunch of Batman playsets. They made a Batmobile, and Batwing, the cave, a Catwoman cycle with Batglider, a mini Batmobile with Batman and Robin, a Batman and Joker toxic chemical scene, a Nightwing set, and a Superman vs. Darkseid set. I purchased the first three as gifts for some friends when Toys R Us had them on clearance.
There's a big controversy about this statue. It's been covered in Newsarama and SuicideGirls. Apparently, continuity says that Spidey uses a different fabric softener.
The Young Justice figures look good except Clark does not look like Tom Welling; I have a really good Clark - Tom Welling figure that is dead on in resemblence.
I like the Jonah Hex - Batgirl - Superman figures.
I personally think the "DC Direct" Silver Age Superman from a few years back looked more like a Curt Swan drawing than this one does.
I know it is a matter of taste but I disagree with you on that call,G.. although the one on Ebay you posted the link to is not bad looking.
My favorite Superman figure is the 12" one I own, based on how he looked in the 1997 WB cartoon.
Love to see a Superman figure based on the 1966 Superman cartoon. He looked awesome in that cartoon... more "Curt Swan - ish "than in anything else I've ever seen.
Sculpted by Jonathan Matthews FIRST IN A SERIES OF STATUES FEATURING BATTLES BETWEEN NOTORIOUS NEMESES!
Featuring work by some of DC Direct’s premiere sculptors, this new line of statues featuring classic confrontations begins with a battle between notorious enemies Batman and The Joker.
Sure to be two of the most talked about characters this year, Batman and The Joker are depicted here in a classic scenario: Batman fights to prevent The Joker from escaping Arkham Asylum!
BATMAN VS. THE JOKER is a limited-edition, hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain statue measuring approximately 14" tall x 7" wide x 8" deep. It includes a Certificate of Authenticity and is packaged in a 4-color box. This limited edition statue is manufactured to order.

I received both my 25th Anniversary Shipwreck and Cobra Legions today.
The fucking jackass I ordered 25th Anniversary Shipwreck from through Amazon crammed it in a fucking envelope instead of a box. When it had arrived, it's card was damaged.
The 25th Anniversary Cobra Legions were depressing as well. They were made of a cheaper plastic than the rest of the 25th Anniversary line.
Yeah, I ordered the red suit one. I like how the brown almost looks like leather on the yellow one. However, I just felt it wouldn't quite be Daredevil for me if I didn't just go standard red.
I might try and get the yellow statue one day. Then, I can use them for bookends!
Not the BEST sculpt, but I saw it at the store and ...his accessory is a crowbar. I fucking HAD to get it, just for that fact. No giant neon yellow flag-spear-shooting clusterfuck; a wee little crowbar. Fucking hilarious. I need a Jason Todd figure next, so I can paint his up all bloody at Joker's feet. With a crowbar.

If you do that would you please, please post a pic? That would be so awesome.
From the pages of the Incredible Hulk comes this Marvel Select action figure featuring the jade giant himself! This massive eight-inch behemoth may have finished his rampage through the Marvel Universe, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg for Bruce Banner!
Superman TAS and JLU had a good representation of Sinestro's costume, this one is alright; certainly less gay. I just can't stand the Sinestro Corps logo is all, dunno why, it just bugs me.

Yeah, I likes it too...alas from afar. It's the only one going for $150 or more on eBay. I was broke when that one came out so I had to pass it up at the time. NOw, I'm not broke but, I just can't see spending that kinda coin on this thing.
One day, it will be mine. Just not soon...
My faves of the ones I have are the Bisley, Risso and Wagner.
Just got the Paul Pope one in the mail today...
The story it was based on was (as I recall) a bit shitty but the stat is cool. I should get the Kubert in a couple of days.
Today I also piocked up the Batman and Joker figs from The Batman and Son wave. Uschi said the sculpt was shitty but I think it's OK.
Looks like Christmas came early in the Bastard household!!!

I'm sorry to hear that, basty!
It's a real pisser when you miss out on something and it becomes more expensive, unless you're Rob and it's the animated Batman statue - Then that's funny as fuck!
I got lucky because when that was released, I was at Wizard World! I managed to pick that and the Risso and Bolland one up at the same time!
This year, I got the Wagner and Ross versions!
Next year, it'll be the Miller, Adams and Lee versions!
I have only been buying the ones I really like - for both monetary and space reasons!
My old roomie wants one of these for Christmas...I'm debating if that's too much to spend on her. Then again, her mother spoiled us during the summer, so I don't think it's too bad. I just don't want to give the impression that I'm trying to outdo her in the 'look-how-much-I-spent-on-you' contest.
But I do like pushing his little buttons and making him talk.
One of my nephews is getting that next week for his birthday. I'm hatefully jealous of him.
That just means you'll have to get him something that comes in a big box. That way while he's distracted with the box you can play around with the Bumblebee. It's the perfect plan, reax.
Since it's an Iron Man figure, with Robert Downey Jr portaying the Armored Avenger, and Tony Stark as well, the figure ought to come with accessories such as:
What Doctor was Davison supposed to be? Because he wasn't playing the fifth Doctor!
No kidding.
Well, after a decade of doing Big Finish audios as Number Five, Davison has morphed his portrayal along the lines of how he pretty much would have always played the character. Naturally, TPTB back in the day had other ideas, and we're left with the vulnerable 5th Doc.
And, tits to all of you. Charity or not, Time Crash was some awesomeness...
All about this product: New action figures inspired by the stunning story that redefined evil! This collector set features newly sculpted versions of legendary foes Batman and The Joker as they appear in this classic story, as well as the 48-page Prestige Format Special, written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Brian Bolland! It's everything Killing Joke fans could want perfect to go alongside the 20th anniversary special hardcover edition of The Killing Joke. Packaged in a 4-color window box.
Joker looks pretty good. Batman not so much, especially the use of the damn "Superman blue" color for the cape and cowl (not to mention trunks, gloves and boots).
The use of this blue is especially egregious for a KJ Batman figure, in my opinion, given that Bollard drew the cape and cowl as black with blue highlights. As such, the figure hardly captures the character's look in the book.
The use of this blue is especially egregious for a KJ Batman figure, in my opinion, given that Bollard drew the cape and cowl as black with blue highlights.
While in shadow, yes. But when Batman was in the light, it was clearly the blue cape and cowl.

Good point, doc. I had forgotten about that sequence.
Still, the coloring of the blue was a lot deeper than what's seen on the tie. If DC insists on painting Batman blue I wish they'd at least use a midnight or navy blue, instead of that light color they tend to use.

So if G-Man keeps it in the closet with him, the cowl will be the appropriate color for him...
I was hoping DCD would come out with that version Supergirl!
Nice Cold and Supergirl! Is this the Alex Ross line?
new wave of Justice figures and probably the best one yet. I actually read the trades recently. it's a good story.
The Justice line kind of stumbled by doing armorred versions in the last couple of waves. Hopefully this line still has legs & we can see some other silver aged figures that wouldn't get made otherwise. (Metal Men, Doom Patrol, Legion & a Giganta figure)
the armored versions are teh suxors. But DCD was scraping the barrel of the JUSTICE series there... the 70's Supergirl and Batgirl AF's were inspired by Ross' doorsized posters, not the mini.
And Ross is a fan of the Cockrum Legion, not SA; see the highend Legion print he did, and the Legion page in JUSTICE #12. I would LOVE figures of them in this line BTW...
no, but I read the first part of Annihilation last night. you'll dig the hell out of that. it's very similar to the way you describe Battlestar.
Booster Gold, worth your time. It's very much in the vein of the current Brave and Bold series. Just fun. Plus, Dan Jurgens is back to doing what he does best: draw.
Is Annihilation out as a complete book yet? Or, is it split into multiple volumes? I've been wanting to try this since Jefferson Glacier posted about it awhile back.

I would like a set of those Cockrum Legion figures, too!
Am still pissed that DC Direct quit the SA set, and they were more than halfway through it... only 12 more LSH figures to go.
That's because they're so close together. What happens when he swings down and takes off Canary's skull...or when he swings up and blows straight through Batman's ribcage?
As noted earlier, I'm usually not a fan of the "light blue" Batman toys. However, this "Silver Age" Batman figure sort of appeals to me, given it's resemblance to the Captain Action and Mego dolls of my boyhood:
I just grabbed the new set of WW figs (Diana, Circe, and Diana in her civies....passed on Donna)...and far and away the best money I've spent on DCD product in a long while. They not only look spot on, they're sturdily constructed and don't break at the joints simply being removed from the bubble.
This is one of the " Gay Billy" series of 12" tall dolls released by Totem, INC., in 1995 for an Aids Benefit. Original cost: $275.00, but I paid less than a third of that.
This figure is named "Tyson", and is not connected in any way, shape, or form with Mike Tyson.
Tyson is anatomically correct, and, ah, as the promo reads for the figure, is larger than life..
Totem, INC., is now defunct, which means these figures are rare.
As for articulation... does the junk have a joint? I mean, if he has a wang, it might as well fit into Gay Doll #2's poop chute...
I dunno about that one, but it was a gay man who created the doll, so, it might be possible that one could pose the figures in obscene poses, though my Tyson figure will remain clothed as he will be on display on my desk..
However, my 12" Worf figure might take a liking to him... hehe!
Nah.. Worf is tired of falling for women who die, leave him for another man, or who get a new body, and a new life which forbids being involved with a previous lover or husband...

Ahhh! I totally remember these - they were all over the Village back in the day. I remember asking a store owner which one was the most popular and he said the Latino version always sold out...
I got my Tyson doll today. He is anatomically correct. He looked kinda slutty in his army guy uniform, so I put a Jedi outfit on him from Qui Gonn Junn, and painted his gotee black and made it fuller. He looks pretty good:
And, I am all OVER that Deathstroke and Solomon Grundy!! Fuck Yeah!!
Yes, the Grundy is the best of that bunch.
I checked out a new shop today, but they just had collectibles (toys, statues, mugs, etc). I was a bit disappointed, but they did have a motherload of Doctor Who crap. Including this:
Jeremy....I swear to god...if I PM Rob and get my Modship back for this forum, I'm going to Uschi-the-hell out of every one of your posts. DO YOU HEAR ME?!!!!!!
Saber grip left Saber grip right Force Push left Pistol Grip right Severed hand stump 12-Inch Figure Display Base with Star Wars logo
This arrived in the mail today. It's fantastic!
The display stand is pretty cool; it's black and thus looks less obvious than a bright white stand would, and, as the ad says, it has the Star Wars logo on it.
I highly recommend this figure, but warning! Don't try to put his laser pistol in the holster - it won't go in, and you might rip the holster.
If they make a Sideshow 12" Bespin Darth Vader, I would buy that!
Jeremy....I swear to god...if I PM Rob and get my Modship back for this forum, I'm going to Uschi-the-hell out of every one of your posts. DO YOU HEAR ME?!!!!!!

She and I discussed the inability to have them still fresh by the time you would get them in the mail. Seriously! We were talking about you and JD, and she was saying how she would make some and mail them to you. I explained the reality of what you would actually receive in the mail. Thus, the only option is for you two to move to Greenville...

what the hell happened to Parasite? I haven't really seen him since that Stuporman run where he kept growing and went to space and destroyed the space station and stuff...
Ironically, if Superman HAD ridden a cybernetic velociraptor in a movie, it still would have been truer to the character than Superman Returns was.
And at least a few posters would be writing long missives about how riding a robot dinosaur was a "natural progression" for the character and that anyone who disagrees is "stuck in the silver age."
I forgot where I put my camera (when I find it, I'll post pics), buit I grabbed that stomach-joint Batman and was right -- PERFECT for j.o. and fellatio poses.
Aye...the DCU figs are looking amazing. I might have to go back and start grabbing these! The upcoming WW pretty much blows away most of DCD's offerings (save the Dodson inspired WW/Diana Prince we recently got):
Not the best face sculpt. Looks a little too much like Joan Crawford or Faye Dunaway and the character is usually drawn with a rounder face.
I dunno - it works for me... if there was a thing I would be fangirlish about, it would be the length of the "ears" on her cowl...bit too long, but otherwise I totally dig this version...

Adapted from the legendary comic strip,WILL EISNER'S THE SPIRIT is a classic action-adventure-romance told by genre-twister Frank Miller (creator of 300 and SIN CITY.) It is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the SPIRIT (Gabriel Macht) to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, the OCTOPUS (Samuel L. Jackson) has a different mission: he's going to wipe out Spirit's beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality. The Spirit tracks this cold-hearted killer from Central City's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront … all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill our masked crusader.

I'll pick up Ice from the JLI wave. The face isn't quite right but always liked the character. Black Canary actually looks good in a costume I never cared for. They definitley captured the Bats from the JLI period.
1) does Elektra turn into a skrull when you stab her?
2) when did the Rock become a SHIELD agent?
3) did we really need figures of Bi-Beast, Cap. Iron Man, Scarlet Spider, and red Hulk?
4) who thought Marvel Transformers was an idea that needed to be brought back? hey, when remember the Hulk turned into a tank? that was so coooooolllll. . .
5) why do they make Superhero Squad figures of Deadpool, Punisher, Elektra, etc? this is the line for little kids, right? wtf?
6) finally, a real DD figure!
7) Nova looks like he can't see out of his helmet.
8) Ult. GA Cap looks decent.
9) Spiral's ok, but could be better. they should take a page from DC Direct and have Art Adams design her.
10) that new Green Goblin design is GOBAWFUL! stop making figures of it!
haha! I was at the con yesterday and saw all of these and had multiple nerdgasms. I spent a shitload of money too, but the geek in me had so much fun that the tears I will shed when I get my credit card bill will be worth it. The Watchmen figures were especially cool. The whole thing was teh awesome.
I was so ticked off that Fin Fang Foom wasn't wearing his shorts that I was going to have Jeremy raped by sharks. Lucky for him, the picture of iron man in a car that says "Iron Man" on the door was funny as hell. But the sharks are waiting Jeremy. Waiting for you to slip up so they can rape you.
Wow....there be a bunch of interesting Wondy stuff comming. Giganta (in any incarnation) is looong overdue. The Artemis looks a little off, but hopefully that is corrected by actual production. And the Ares in the background there looks fantastic!
Remember you said that...I can still drink you under the table. I am not above taking advangage of a fine-ass, drunk 'rican...especially if that's my only option..
Too bad the effort can't be placed towards the JLU line, with the Target exclusive and all. Still Piggie may like them cause they're in scale with his Joe collection. I'll buy some at WW this year. Damn, that's going to be an expensive weekend.
Nah...I'm the same way. If it's Batman/Joker related I have to buy it. I haven't gotten the statue yet...still waiting for my damn stimulus check...but it wil be mine soon.
You'd think she'd have enough with that statue she got.
It lives in my arse!
But this one fails. While the arms are deliciously posed in as "i'm about to get outta this" way, there's no crotch strap and that's just poor research. Without a crotch strap, a baby could get out.
Just a heads up if anyone here is interested, DC universe Infinite Heroes were at my local taget. Captain Marvel, Adam Strange, Reverse Flash & Guy Gardner look much much better than advance pics. I think I'm going to like this line but hope they do classic versions of some of the b-listers. While the new Atom costume is OK it's not really the Atom I want.
I'll have to hit up Target and check them out. I won't consider buying any until better ones come out.
Are you referring to character selection? It does seem like an odd first wave. No A list heroes except for maybe Captain Marvel.
Yeah, DC better have something good up their sleeves. Have you seen the Superman Red and Blue figures from the DCU Classics line? Those are pretty bad ass.
In the spirit of Christmas and giving my fiancee told me I cannot put any of my GI Joes in her precious Christmas Village.
What could be more Christmasy than the Duke & Snake Eyes rescuing the wee baby Jesus from the evil machinations of COBRA? She probably objects to putting Optimus Prime as one of the 3 Wise Men, too....
In the spirit of Christmas and giving my fiancee told me I cannot put any of my GI Joes in her precious Christmas Village....
Break it off now. If she's already ruining Christmas before the wedding you can't imagine how badly she'll be busting your balls over the holidays AFTER she's got the piece of paper.
You know, that kinda looks like the post-apocaliptic Lego village where my Lego Pirates and my Lego Space Cops live in harmony after the great Pirate/Space Cop War of '97 (after which 90% of my Legos were thrown to the garbage or given away to poor kids or some fag shit like that).
