DST Solicitations - Black Hole, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Marvel, DC, Bruce Lee and More

Wow... that Bruce Lee managed to look nothing like Bruce Lee... might make a decent MK1 Liu Kang tho.

Wasn’t Storm Collectibles making a fully articulated Bruce Lee or did they only do the fixed pose figure?

The Storm Bruce Lee was one of their last releases with no articulation. After that, they transitioned into figures.

Wow. Definitely getting those Avatar figures, and Rocketeer.

Toonstrack · 07-26-2019, 08:46 AM

Been waiting years for Avatar figures, I ave no idea why all the companies have ignored it as a license but I'm glad at least someone is finally doing them. Hope it extends beyong these three, and we get Ozai, Azula, Sokka and Toph

Morbius looks good. Might pick that up for $50 if I decide to get the spidey statue they showed off at comic con.

But wait, THAT Hulk figure is $500?! How is that face on that worth $500 lol. Plus he looks angry like he's about to destroy the world with the gauntlet.

Double yes to Ozai. An Avatar State Aang wouldn't hurt, either.

Mattel totally fumbled the license by refusing to make female characters...

Can't tell what the artic is for the Black Hole / Rocketeer figs.

Cool. Thanks for clearing that up. I just remember seeing it next to Mike Tyson and Goro a few years ago, then nothing. I knew they made the unarticulated statues, but for some reason I thought one of the Bruce Lees was articulated.

Well, now Storm needs to make an articulated Bruce Lee, along with the 400 other licenses they have. LOL

VashTS · 07-26-2019, 11:41 AM

Wanted Bruce Lee...but not even close. Why diamond? I'm one of their biggest fans and so disappointing. The Rocketeer looks nice butt why use that crotch. Everyone hates the gaping crotch.

I'm not sure if I'll buy anything on this list. Just disappointed. I'm a nice fan of Diamond.

SDCC pics of the quartet here at least show that Maximillian's arms can be positioned pointed down at his sides. An alternate head with a more "glowy" visor is shown as well. The blue effect is removable, and the static blade can be replaced with one that looks like it is spinning. V.I.N.CENT. and Old B.O.B. are in the same poses as here, so hard to say whether they can extend their arms/weapons. (Also hard to say if Maximillian can actually rotate the three-arm assembly at the shoulder as he did in the movie so a different one is at the front, or whether the other two arms on each shoulder have "elbows.")

Rocketeer has removable jetpack, helmet and flame/smoke base, but is shown in same static pose as here.

Why is it no one can get Pennywise's hair right except NECA? it either looks too big, too far back on the head, or in this case, he's got that exaggerated Jimmy Neutron coiff...

Meta · 07-26-2019, 02:59 PM

I hope that Rocketeer is better then the crappy Funko version.

EvilMonkeyPope · 07-26-2019, 04:34 PM

Can they do Legend of Korra too?

whitemocha · 07-26-2019, 04:59 PM

I've wanted collector-oriented, higher-end Avatar figures for years. Was hoping for a line like Figuarts or Figma to do them. My wish has come true... and it's Diamond Select. I knew I shouldn't have made that wish with a monkey's paw.

Nevertheless, beggars can't be choosers, so I'll gladly get them and hope for the best!

BIGGUY007 · 07-26-2019, 09:49 PM

The face sculpt on that Hulk figure looks atrocious!

mort · 07-27-2019, 06:59 AM

And if they're doing an Aang, they should really give us a Samurai Jack.

But... Why?

The original figures sucked and I doubt any Japanese company is going to make any figures for an American anime-inspired series (I've seen a Korra Nendoroid, but nothing like that since). Doesn't have the rabid fanbase of Avatar, probably, but one strong enough to revive it for a 5th season almost 10 years after it last aired. Which makes me think it would sell well and is a venture worth taking up for DST.

Guess I can't disagree with you, just sounded like you thought they were the same license haha

Oh, I see where the confusion came from.

MeLikeJinx · 07-27-2019, 02:59 PM

Damn. That's the nicest OG Katara figure I've seen since... ever maybe. I hope they make a Toph one next.

EvilMonkeyPope · 07-27-2019, 05:42 PM

What does sonic need with a racecar?

Well, that big floating head at the center of the universe already reserved the starship, so....
