I'd buy Reverse Flash if he was on clearance. My DC collection is very modest though.

Can somone help me out. Everything at target walmart tru is on clearance the guy told me so many new toys coming. Is he right? Is a whole new shipment coming of new toys in July. Thanks for the help.

Well, in my experience most retail stores go through summer clearance sales so they can clear their pegs/shelves of stock to make room for new products coming in the fall.

I can say there's a lot of TF merchandise with availability dates from now until September/October. There will probably be more announced at Botcon this weekend that will carry us through the rest of the year (and maybe even the beginning of January).

SDCC will hopefully have some news for other Hasbro lines next month.

Yeah but I haven't truly seen wave 3 of the BH Deluxes out here, they keep restocking wave 2 or 1 depending if it's TRU or Target. And if they did have the latest wave they don't restock it with that, it's back to the older waves. The same can be said for BH voyager's too.

Went MH hunting with my daughter today, found the new Twyla Doll. She was very excited!!! (I sacrificed finding Springer for the 1st time to go with the MH doll instead, because at the end of the day I care more about my kids getting what they want over what I want!!!)

Does yours have Glow in the dark eyes on Twyla??? The instruction sheet says she does, but mine don't glow. Not sure if this is an error or just an idea they dropped before the dolls were made.

It's awesome how you got him to squeeze in there. You left out his other black blaster?

Technically he comes with three guns: the large red blaster and two black "pea-shooters" which mount on the sides of his shoulders. The SDCC version gets an additional red blaster.

Touched up mine a bit. Citadel "Chainmail" grey/silver paint on his face. The helmet's easy enough to remove/replace if anyone else would like a properly painted face akin to the prototype pics. Dabbed a bit on the flip out gun emplacement on the right side of his chest and on the cannons on his helmet for fun.

I also gave the "windows" on his chest button a metallic red paint job in lieu of the decals.

Yea I just did not put the other black gun in his hand. He wont fit in the detolf with the black guns on his shoulders unfortunately, so I just have the other one on the side for now.

Nice paint job to his face...looks great!

Opened this morning:

I saw the others, but was weary these would be like McFarlene stuff

Thanks! You wouldn't happen to know what those two red flip-up pillars are for in his City Mode would you? The ones to the left of the larger helipad.

Under no circumstances must you allow such a thing!

Lots of random awesome for a measly $5 by the way.

I honestly do not know...I just assume they are "towers" for the landing pad. I guess they can be whatever your imagination can come up with. =)
