Being a KO doesn't mean a toy is automatically bad but it does mean that you can't turn to anyone for help if something is wrong, my only huge hangup and major turning off point with buying a KO is the chance of lead paints that would be monitored by a licensed production. It's not even something that I've actually heard of happening often but it could happen all the same and that's a scary idea.

To be fair, while they have gotten a little better, NECA was notorious for QC issues like that, especially during that time period. I can't even begin to tell you how many Predators I have run into that have had unattached limbs, two left feet, duplicate or missing accessories, or no accessories at all during my days of hunting them in the wild.

You might be able to remove and re-install those gauntlet blades if your careful. I remember seeing a YouTube video fix for issues like that back in the day, but I cannot remember the link for the life of me.

Very happy with my finds today

Super happy I found this plastic Boba helmet from 2007

And last but not least after being jealous of some of you for finding Jango Fetts, tonight when I went to my target hiding behind tie fighter boxes was this, it might not be 10 dollars but there was no way I was leaving him

Yeah, I'm going to try and fix the blades.
As far as lead goes, I can buy test strips as I have in the past with other things.

I do appreciate the concerns though and feedback :)

I found a Universal Monsters Creature From The Black Lagoon at my LCS.

I've liked watching these films many times over the years, especially the riff from MST3K on the second installment, so finding this figure was a real treat.

yours looks almost exactly like this one..

New Predator Series 7 Big Red 7" Scale Action Figure | eBay

if it is a KO it's pretty lame that it's not listed as such. i have no problem with knock-off's in general. but what bothers me is the deception. as long as it's made clear that it's a knock-off, i'm fine with it. but when you try and play it off as the real thing, that's when i have a problem.

it's possible it could be a factory reject.

Found some new Multiverse this week. Earth 23 Superman and Reverse Flash from TRU. Case looks to be 2 R-Flash, 2-E23 Supes, and 4 Year Zero Batman.

Also got Aquaman and Nightmare Bats from Wal Mart. Case was 2 Aqua, 3 Nightmare Bats, 1 reg Bats, 1 Armored Bats, and 1 Superman.
Have they revealed the last figure yet?? The outline shadow looks like Superman, but I hope that is just a place holder.

All but the TIE Interceptor are trades from a local Aussie collector.

Well, sorry for everyone that wanted to complete the Grapnel Gun BAF, since it seems like Mattel would rather pack in pegwarmers than the prison jumpsuit Luthor :P

Oh yeah totally agree with you there that's why I don't support KO...and yes who knows what other chemicals are in the KO besides lead.

I went shopping this afternoon. It has been a very loooong time since I purchased this many figures at once. Sorry no pics...
-ML Mockingbird. Finally found her at a somewhat decent price at the Disney store.
-ML Boomerang. Not a character I ever wanted, but for €5, I can probably found a little place for him on my shelf.
-Neca's NES Batman & NES Jason Vorhees. My 2 firsts in the line, most certainly not the lasts.
-Titan series Black Widow. I love the costume & it was cheap, so why not!?

If someone is interested in the Onslaught BAF part, PM me.

I saw a video review of the Superman statue from this line the other day and the reviewer mentioned that these were down to around $25 on Amazon. I have seen them in a few local shops but I think they were originally $60 to $80 each, but I could be wrong. I don't think they were selling too well, but I thought they would be well worth the $25.

I have a few Kotobukiya peices and I couldn't be happier with them. The sculpting is really nice and paints are as good as I've seen on any higher end collectibles. The cape on the Batman figure is especially nice too. I don't know if I'll pick up any more of these Super Powers homage statues but that's just because they have a limited selection of characters.

the green lantern looks kinda cool

Finally got my hacks in the mail:

I truly did get "hacked". I was so excited to open the package and I wound up slicing my finger pretty good and it started bleeding.

I thought that the Prison Lex, was part of the next series that has the New 52 Doomsday BAF??

Prison lex was shown with the doomsday BAF. Has anyone seen lex in the suit yet? I'm guessing he will be in the next wave with the figure that's blacked out. It does look like another Supes. Not sure why they wouldn't just show it though.

sry about your finger, but what do you think of those figures?

I saw this on Amazon for $29 the other day and ordered it because it looked kind of cool (not to mention it wasn't a model kit).

I love how posseable he is, but the armor does limit the ability to have him aim his gun like on the show. Sadly, since it has been so long since I've seen Zeta, I don't remember how everything works on him (which will be fixed soon if my damn BDs ever show up). As is though, he was well worth the price and I'm looking forward to picking up the Quebeley when it comes out.

Pickups from the last week or so. Had to replace Scourge since I cannibalized some of his gear for my Punisher custom I am SLOWLY working on. Meijer had a buy one get one 50% off so I snagged 2 of the last 3 I need for the Absorbing Man wave and an extra Reilly for the heck of it. Shockingly Jack was one of the only two figures missing from the peg. A quick walk to electronics on the same trip netted the last of the Infinity figures I wanted for $15 instead of $35.

Grabbed Minato off of Amazon to add to my Figurats Naruto collection. I almost hate to open him but Figuarts are just too damn cool to leave in their plastic prisons.

No, I think it was just shown off at the same time haha

I don't want to say Jackpot! or anything , but I hit a super deal this weekend at Vintage Stock with their Easter sale (33% off all marked price on used toys).
Giganta for 10$, Grundy, Grodd, Kalibak, and Marvel Select Emma Frost for 15$ each plus discount. And an assortment of others reallly cheep. Someone did not know what these were. Just another figure to them I guess.
Selling these will help fund a good amount that is coming out soon.

How do you like that knightmare batman figure? I've been thinking of getting one, i've just been on the fence about getting any of these mattel figures
