Yes she's from the DC Comics. I think the figure looks great. In fact, I like the headsculpt a little more than the actual one. It looks a lot prettier, in my opinion.

It does, might pick her up.

Hope we can at least get a 2002-esque head sculpt at some point. So bad ass.

How long did the DC books last? Are the characters as goody too shoes as in the toon?

Been a while since I read them but I'd say they're like Conan Lite. There's still a clear idea of who's good and who's bad, where as Conan comics usually just had you root for the title character even when he was doing VERY questionable things but it was definitely not goody good and infact, very few of the FILMATION/Toy characters actually appeared in the comic. DC later did a run that was closer to the FILMATION cartoon as did Marvel.

First, I want to say that I'm very impressed that everyone showed some restraint with this comment. So many jokes popped into my head after I read it.

Second, the Sorceress is a Stratos fangirl. She hopes to attract him with her beautiful...plumage.

True story.

Speaking of Stratos and bird babes, anyone remember his babe sister Delora? I'd be pleased as pie (baked with four and twenty blackbirds) if Mattel did a bonus figure of her at some point.

I'm not impressed. I set up a perfect alley-oop, but no one dunked it. Someone could've taken off from the foul line with that one.

Wow, what the fuzz. I got my order in from Matty today that I ordered nearly a month after my previous order and if I remember correctly, this is the one I placed the day before you did, Tiberius, so expect your stuff soon.

So does it take a long time for the processing or the shipping? Or is it Canadian/American customs? I got a package from a buddy of mine from Canada and it took about a month.

No, it's the process that Digital River goes through for International orders. They have this courier who comes pick up the item and then brings it to USPS. This courier that they use takes forever and a day to get it over to USPS, then USPS gets it over to us. If only Digital River skipped this weird process and just brought it over to USPS themselves, it wouldn't take this long. I think half the time, the courier just sits on the orders until they get enough of them to make it feel worthwhile for them to drive them over to USPS which would explain why sometimes I get things in three weeks, sometimes it takes two months.

[Tiberius]

Maybe tomorrow haha. I am hoping for next week though or I am honestly going to be pissed.

[thechris]

Haha, I'm pretty sure I ordered Demo-man and Battle Armor Skeletor on the day before you placed your order. I remember adding 5 Teelas to my cart just in case any Arkers didn't get a chance to get her and still needed her and then cancelling it after I realized most people probably wouldn't want to wait 2 1/2 months for Matty to get her to me and then get her shipped out again. LOL. Guess in hindsight, it may not have been such a bad idea.

[Tiberius]

YA MAN I WOULDA TRADED/BOUGHT A TEELA FROM YA!

I also got Leech and She Ra coming from an Arker, hehehe.

Leech is great, though I do think they could've gone a step further and gave us swappable hands to replace his suction cup hands. In the FILMATION cartoon, he often had normal hands until he transformed them into energy suction mode and sandwiched an unknowing rebel's head in between them.

Grizzlor is lonely, and needs more Horde Buddies. Been thinking of getting a Catra, but I could get a loose Tri Klops for around the same price. Hmmm Hmm Hmmmmm

Definitely complete the Evil Warriors first. Catra is great, but she's more of a POP character than a true mainstream Horde character. Yes, she was a Horde force captain in the FILMATION series but in the toyline, the Horde were MOTU villains, not POP villains. You're definitely on the right track with Grizzlor and Leech. I'd say as far as Horde members, Catra and Shadow Weaver are secondary as far as the toys go, but for POP fans (like myself LOL), they somewhat bleed into primary. I'm still reeling from buying Shadow Weaver sans subscription. I don't know how I'm going to bring myself to cutting the blister on such a pricey figure.

Eyeing that neon Grizzly and a few others maybe soon.

Same here. Hoping to find some cool stuff. I'm still into DCUC, too. Hopefully find some cool stuff for that as well and DogFashionDisco just sold me two Sideshow Universal Monsters and I'm getting into that now. LOL. Going to need to hunt me down a Boris Karloff Mummy, Boris Karloff Frankenstein's Monster and Bela Lugosi Dracula. Other than that, I'm pretty good for MOTUC but wouldn't mind more Eternian Palace Guards and Shadow Beasts.

[Tiberius]

I found a seller on eBay that sells some DCUC at a decent price. Don't know who I really need though... Kind of want Animal Man..

Have fun at the toy fair, I hope you find something bad ass! Both of you!!
Oh, and I want a Mummy figure too, they're amazing but impossible to track down. I'd focus on getting Dracula, and if you can't find a Karloff Frankenstein I'll help you out. You're going to love these figures, they're incredible in person.

Yeah, Animal Man is a great figure. Same with B'wana Beast. To be honest, I have every DCUC figure now except the masked Batman Beyond figure. wb hooked me up with Bronze Tiger and Wave 20 and he's shipping soon.

Thanks man! Haha, yeah, I want both the Mummy and Ardeth Bey figures portrayed by Boris Karloff but see that they're around $250. Yikes.
