Yep he's a minimate,from Art Asylum's music line,they did Alice Cooper,werewolf Ozzy,mummy Eddie,and Rob Zombie,he's BIG though,he measures 3.25inches in height. Did they start out that big and were shrunk down to the current size?? Or were these done that big just for the music line?? I know absolutely nothing about it,i was given it by a friend a good few years ago now,he picked it up on clearance from a Virgin Megastore....

Picked these up last night: MU Series 3 Cyclops, DOTM Fireburst Prime, PCC Skyhammer w/Airlift. Not sure if I already mentioned these, but also recently got G.I.Joe Renegades Ripcord and a complete set of Series 2 Marvel MegaBloks.

I cant find a walmart or target that will stock this new fm wave,I only want freakin maul,the funny thing is NONE of this "new" wave is that spectacular,its amazing how hype drives people to pick EVERY single figure up because its "new" and the movie is coming out,hell 3 months ago maul was all but forgotten,now he's the new "in" thing,laughable.

on a side note,I only want the maul figure for the improved horns and that hood for fodder.

trebleshot · 01-30-2012, 10:57 AM

I find it even funnier that Walmart is feeding the beast by adorning the pegs with signs that say "New!" on them.

Personally, I have yet to own a Maul figure of any kind. So I might as well snag the VC version and get Sidious while I'm at it. Anakin and Darth are kind of lonely on the Sith side of my SW shelf. I mean, the General's beside himself.

Latest additions. The new marvel legends.

D00MTR0N · 01-30-2012, 12:57 PM

a little off topic but another thing that drives me nuts about the new star wars stuff is why not release the armored savage opress for the new 2012 clone wars line rather then the shirtless one,we all know the shirtless one was easy to find yet armored is at this point vhtf anywhere for most of us,hell I only saw him 1 time and I am usually in target or walmart every other day for something so that speaks to how rare he is,no instead repackedge the easy to find figure,this whole line so far is very sub par in product selection and marketing.

That Ghost Rider is terrible...hate that style. Surprised Iron Man looks so flipping awesome.

atomicsmurf · 01-30-2012, 02:12 PM

Ghostrider and Hope look great! Can't wait for them to turn up here. Think I'll pass on the rest.

Symbiote · 01-30-2012, 02:57 PM

Ghost Rider is the rare one. One per case. There is a variant case, orange flames on ghost rider, clear shield for rogers, and stealth armor color for extremis.

I'm not a huge fan of the outfit but compairing it to what the comic reference is based from it's pretty damn accurate, if you haven't already check out solidsnakeinmypants's review on him, 1 part of the review he swaps the head out for a shield agent and the figure takes on a whole nether level of awesome imo, it just looks badass, but there could be a better sculpt to replace with. sadly u want the baf u have to buy him or shell out the $ for the part. I see a lot of sellers, selling the figures either moc, loose missing baf part so they can sell a complete baf, or by the case.

Umm, they are all one per case except Iron Man, which there are 2 of.

Jason Abbadon · 01-30-2012, 03:53 PM

Lets see Iron Man broke free from that plastic prison already! I want to see him in fighting poses!

D00MTR0N · 01-30-2012, 05:46 PM
