No figuring at all, he looks a lot like Nite Owl. The original Owlman looked much more like the old school blue and grey Batman and he had a mask like Hawkman's.

You cannot go wrong with the Watchmen, I think I'm going to watch Justice League Crisis on Two Earths (comic book movie) tomorrow. One of my favorites. I am sure you have seen, if not, WATCH IT.

It's actually the BAF Gaint-Man. Hank Pym is the coolest character ever :P

Oh, I never collected ML so I'll be waiting for them to make an MU Giant Man. I've already decided that I'll no longer be buying any closely scaled ML figures. They're way too expensive to risk getting a double of like the ML Galactus that I have now.

Well, if you already have one, why by another? I don't have any doubles, yet I don't have a single Legends BAF completed. I'd love to have a MU Goliath figure, but he just doesn't sit anywhere for me, I'd have to go Giant-Man or Yellowjacket. IF I had to get a Goliath because I'm poor as shit, I'd put my mediocre customizing skills to work to make a Yellerjacket :P.

Still pissed Wal-Mart Canada doesn't carry DCUC....

Nah, what I mean is I have a Galactus, and when I found out they were doing an MU Galactus, I was like "Oh crap.". Thankfully I didn't get the ML Sentinel because I've seen him at the flea markets and I prefer the MU one to it big time. I also didn't get Fin Fang Foom or any other BAFs except MODOK who I'm happy with (for now). Right now DCUC is getting my money mainly. I don't have every DCUC (And I'm fine with that). Just getting the figures that I like. I hate the Wave 18 BAF, though... Mainly because I want it but I don't want Captain Boomerang or Bronze Tiger.

Tiberius · 09-05-2011, 01:16 AM

Hahaha I wan't Captain Boomerang and Bronze Tiger...I'd buy the wave FOR Boomerang. Funds are drying fast due to my drug habits though [BUYING TOYS]. I need to get myself a Captain Cold MOC..

thechris · 09-05-2011, 01:27 AM

Why do you need Captain Cold MOC? If you want Captain Boomerang, I'd happily sell him for half of whatever I pay for him plus shipping. LOL. I only need the Apache Chief parts.

Tiberius · 09-05-2011, 01:28 AM

Atom Smasher piece. I really want to finish him to make Justice League All-Stars. I'm getting a Citizen Steel figure from a fellow arker, not sure when that is yet though. and Wave 19...gotta save!

Oh crap, talk about aiming high. They never made about 30% of the figures needed to assemble that team, unfortunately.

Tiberius · 09-05-2011, 01:37 AM

Well all I really care about is Citizen Steel, Star Girl. STRIPE, and Atom Smasher. Thats DC's version of Fantastic 4. hahaha. Also Captain Cold is a bonus for Renegades =3

I'd rather they gave me an old school Vigilante, Shining Knight and Crimson Avenger so I could reenact the hilarious scene on Justice League Unlimited where a mutated Eiling attacks the non-superpowered members of the Justice League.

Tiberius · 09-05-2011, 01:47 AM

Oh what I would do for tha DCUC modern Vigilante. There are a lot of figures I want, but find it really hard to spend the money to buy them, 19.99 is a lot at canadian retail, toss in shipping costs and your looking at a pretty penny for a toy -.-.

DogFashionDisco · 09-05-2011, 12:26 PM

I just picked up this set with a really good paint job, they look really cool out of the package (especially Owl Man).

Are you still parting with the rest as originally planned or did you fall in love with the other 4?

I'd be surprised if he didn't fall inlove with the other 4, and rather disappointed...

DogFashionDisco · 09-05-2011, 04:23 PM

Every figure in this set turned out great, and the pissed off look on Ultra Man's face is classic. I really dig them, Mattel did a pretty good job this time.

thechris · 09-05-2011, 04:25 PM

Baaahhahahahaha, I knew you'd cave in.

Do Boy · 09-05-2011, 05:02 PM

Man seeing these guys out of packaging makes me want them... come on Christmas sale clearance!!!!

Tiberius · 09-05-2011, 08:04 PM

So I am currently watching "Justice League: Crisis on 2 Earths". With that being said, it is not helping me want to pay a STUPID amount of money on this set.

DogFashionDisco · 09-05-2011, 08:25 PM

I decided that since I was able to use a giftcard to buy this set, that I should list it online and let it go to someone who wants it more than me. I like them, but this way they'll end up with a good home. I listed them on eBay with a starting bid of $20, so I hope it goes to someone who wants them, but can't justify paying $75.

Oh, and I set it up to accommodate those damn Canadians out there (just kidding).

I have it on watch, I got a feeling you will get your 75 bucks back +. I may even bid on it if the money is right.

Don't get carried away man, I can always find another set for you down the road. I've seen at least five of these recently.

Tiberius · 09-05-2011, 08:37 PM

Thanks dude, but as I said, if the price is right. I have a limit on what I am willing to spend on these guys.

masishadow · 09-05-2011, 10:38 PM

Just found a walmart near me that has 5 CSA packs...now to play the waiting game. Also found out it's a walmart that likes to clearance. Got their remaining GL classics for $5 a pop.
