Not sure if he'll be in my Top Ten of 2017, but he's a nice, solid figure in his own right.

dying to get the movie version but rite now im on a "forced" mini break from collecting

Walgreens Torch, that's my next shot at getting a new figure unless I luck into that X-Force Deadpool somehow. Anyone seen it hit Walgreens yet?

Nyet, tovarisch. Should be soon, though. Shartimus posted up his review on MarvelousNews.

If you refer back a page it was discussed it it the Walking Dead Bike that came with daryl you can probably get more detailed info there.

How many action figures do you have out in the open/on display, RIGHT NOW.
Meaning they are in plain sight and not stored away.
Anything that has at least ONE POA can be included.
Rough estimates are fine.

OK, here goes:

Articulated Icons: 3
12 inch Marvel Legends: 1
Marvel Legends: 47
DC Icons: 2
Mezco: 7
Black Series: 24
Marvel Select: 1
Transformers: between 68 and 76, depending on whether you count combiners as single figures or as many as their components
Mega Bloks/Construx Halo: 49
Figuarts: 1 (very soon to be 6)
LEGO Minifigs: at least 116, and that's just those I can see
Figma: 1
Bandai Star Wars Model Kit: 1
NECA: 5
Mattel Halo: 2
G.I. Joe: 4
Star Wars 3.75 inch: 26

So, not counting the LEGO or Mega Bloks/Construx, I have 193 figures. Pretty impressive considering I haven't had a real job lasting more than 2 months until now (and I didn't have many at all prior to this one).

not yet. usually once it hits this forum, it should come out within 1 month in my area. i noticed that pattern. ive seen one member post a torch fig but he lives in canada so it doesnt count. the up side is that walgreens figs tend to come out faster versus TRU figs

donmeca2020 · 09-22-2017, 05:15 AM

Someone already posted a torch on the "look what i got thread". So it must be available in some parts.

Nostalgic · 09-22-2017, 02:01 PM

I really hope it comes out around here in the next two weeks before I leave for vacation and can’t look for a couple weeks. Very excited for this figure (although more excited to see what they do with the Thing.)

Augustus_Cole · 09-23-2017, 03:51 AM

Hey you buncha dingleberries....

if you want Human Torch......
and don't wanna wait..
he's up on the Walgreens website now..

for the me 5.99 in shipping is well worth me NOT having to call around/drive around looking for this thing.
Even though i'm sure at some point... it'll be warming those shelves..
*edit* from the look of all the pics...might be a super warmer in the long run...

i like that breakdown, though it would be unrealistic and time consuming, it would have been cool if everyone had breakdowns like that.. you really get a better feel for what someone collects.
speaking of which...damn, i didn't think anyone else was even interested in AI figures.
which one's do you have??
i wanted to start a thread but was like..meh...it'll never get added to.

oh they are definitely out there...saw a pick yesterday of a guy who bought 6 of them (to share with collectors)
another guy posted the figure and the receipt from Walgreens downtown NY. I immediately called when i saw it but they were gone already...and none were in the immediate area.

This is just a rough guess, but I'll try…

NECA-400
DC Direct/ Collectibles-900
Mezco-25
McFarlane-300
Super 7-5
Diamond Select-50
Funko (including mystery minis)-75
Mattel-1
Misc Companies-20

With the Walgreens Human Torch figure up on their website, I went ahead and just ordered one. Most stores are so packed with other Legends that I did not want to drive all over and hope they had room to get some out.

Found it this morning in the stores. I live in New England so anyone else looking, they are out there in this area now.

I have Shinobi, Shibito, and Fumetsu. I would have gotten more, but I didn't have quite enough extra money at the time the original pre-order period ended.

JCarterVA · 09-23-2017, 04:34 PM

If anyone in NOVA is lookin for the TRU exclusive Aforce set, the TRU at Fair Lakes had 3 of them after I bought mine. Great set. Never thought I would see this set at retail.

Glad to hear!! Started giving up hope on the set, too.

i don't have any of those. I only have basic red, basic black and Solitaire. Cant wait for them to go on sale again. I'd like to get Shibito, and Seijun. and of course..more ninjas of varying colors.

did you take any pics of them..i'm really thinking of staring a thread.

donmeca2020 · 09-24-2017, 05:08 AM

So i finally said screw it... i ordered colossus on Amazon and a set of kaiser stands. Gonna give them a try. As for colossus, i have never ever saw him in the wild nor for a reasonable price anywhere. $18.49 won't kill me.

I was shocked to see it. Wasn't planning to stop there but had some time to kill before starting my weekend part time job. I have found the Cyclops Dark Phoenix 2 pk at that store before. Can't find single new ML figures but hard to find sets no problem.

Spyne98 · 09-24-2017, 08:11 AM

My friend said he found me a Human Torch down in Jersey yesterday, Cherry Hill area I believe. I can't wait to get him!

lol...of course. I just ordered it, then, less than a day later, it hits the region. Meh, I'll own two when it's all said and done if I see it locally before my order is filled. I did the same with Namor. I ordered out of impatience/urgency, then I saw the fig as it was being shipped. My thinking at the time was: I love the character, I dig the fig, and I want this Walgreens to continue to order these exclusives - doing 'my part' became easier at that point.

Are you down near Cherry Hill? I have a few friends down there so I swing by every so often.

No, man. When I said 'region,' I meant the NY/NJ/CT tri-state area. I live in CT...roughly 30 minutes out of NY.
