I was thinking "what the heck is he talking about?" until I clicked the link. Cabela's is a retail chain! These are also found at Walmart. They are much cheaper there. I forget what the brand is called.

The gals and the dog would be nice for customs but I don't "do" vehicles. Muh. If they had multi-packs of just figs I'd get those.

Who the fuck would have all that pink in the wilderness anyway? Attention-drawing eyesores, they are.

They also had these types of sets at Menards during Xmas.

"Echo echo"

Anyone notice target website has nightwing vs croc listed but "out of stock" and "not sold in store"... Does this mean they had some online and sold out right away or they're getting ready and we will be getting it soon?

[Maverick]

I'm guessing it's still on the way. They had the other packs up for awhile before they hit too.

[tlasjr]

So I had two of the Injustice Wonder Woman figures and the left arm broke off each one within min. I swore off it. Then i was reading this thread and saw that while there were probems with the line it seemed everyone elses problems were more limited in scope. So I come across a loose Wonder Woman on ebay....It arrived yesterday. I noticed the left knee seemed looseand tested it. Loose but okay. Next I tried the left arm. And it broke at the joint with ZERO resistance. Nosnapping. No pop. Just seperation.
Three of the same figure. Exact same problem on all three.
Thats too exact to be a random anomaly.

[snake5289]

Wow that is messed up. Perhaps the figure is just cursed?

Mine did as well. Right out of the box. Just touched and it fell apart.

Crazy. Must be lucky, then. I keep mine in a drawer all piled up on one another (there is just no room anymore!). Was playing with them all in the floor while my wife watched the Bachelor (pure torture) and everything is still solid. Only breakage was Catwoman. Might've been the left arm.

[vindowviper]

I bought the same wonder woman, which broke, so I returned her, and the left arm on the replacement figure came cracked again on the shoulder joint in the same spot. I haven't tried to fix it yet, but how can quality control not catch this!? (There probably is none.)

Seems like only the Grundy and Clayface boxes made it to retail thus far... I'm up in Canada and even though Target is closing up shop, leaving the country and liquidating all of the stock, those two items showed up on shelves very recently, weeks after the announced closings...

[TomsToyChest]

I haven't seen the Nightwing vs. Killer Croc set in my area either, but that's not surprising as distribution is generally pretty poor around here.

I was able to get the Clayface set earlier to go with my Solomon Grundy set. I like the Batman figure in this set and Clayface doesn't look too bad either.

Well they finally did catch it.
In their last Q&A they said they were changing the plastic on new figures. It doesn't help the old figures though.

They adressed the animated series figures not the Injustice figures. I think the Injustice line has breathed its last anyways. Much like the similarly plauged green lantern line.

[snake5289]

Well maybe we'll get an Injustice 2 line.

[vindowviper]

I'd like to see a well articulated new 52 3.75" line (I'm a dreamer, I know), maybe a gift set for the JL. I've never really been happy with the injustice costume designs.

Like you I'm not a huge fan of the costumes, but even worse is how frail the sculpts seem compared to their DC Multiverse cousins and especially the comparable Marvel stuff... in-scale and yet not.

[snake5289]

Eh I like them fine but if I could I'd change how Superman's cape comes all the way down to the symbol. It's just me being nitpicky but it always throws me off a bit.

[tlasjr]

So thinking about what I'd like to see from Multiverse or a new DCC line adult targeted line:

1. Durability

2. 1/18th scale. I dont feel the need to match Marvel Universe and the 7 foot wolverines but aiming for pegging them t 3.75" makes them all 5'6". There's no excuse for this with tech today. Scan a due in a batman suit and have a computer make it 1/18th the size. There are people on this forum that can do this. Mattel can't?

3. Better character selection. This is my biggie. Figures that have NEVER in 40 years now received a 3.75" figure:
The Riddler, Poison Ivy, cheetah , Black manta, Captain cold, Braniac, hawkgirl, zatana, Clark Kent, Lois lane, and Alfred pennyworth to name a few.

4. better wave selection. for the last three initial waves I would grade the character selection as: Multiverse B-, Inustice B, Infinite Heroes F.

[thewriteguy]

At this point, I predict that the closest we'll get to the first 3.75/4" scale figures of Riddler, Poison Ivy and Alfred will be their younger versions from the Gotham series by ReAction.

Captain Cold, the Flash TV version, will be released by ReAction.

I'll keep my customs over the funko figures. The Alien series made sense. It was based on molds from 1979, the rest look ridiculous. No interest at all.

[snake5289]

I don't know I could see Riddler and Poison Ivy showing up in the Multiverse line someday. It'll probably be the Arkham version though.
