The piece is in Toyfare #138 february 2009. it's a great resd, theres alot of perspective on the line. theres a really good Q&A bit in there with alot of interesting questions and some pretty straight forward answers. it's cool to look back on it and see whats come true and what hasn't.

i want kate bishop now

what crap! I checked hasblow in the morning and nothing. now everything is gone. never understood how a company can sell out of a product that's not exclusive so damn fast and an exclusive is still there 3 weeks later...

2-pack Modern Hawkeye and Kate Bishop with the dog

Figures, only Nova wave figs they have left are the ones I already have.

See, this just makes sense...is buy two of these

Thanks Kylactus,ill check that out :) nice pics guys.
LOL,agreed Mgtaj archangel is a beauty.i have a question regarding the new DC two packs,i picked up the grundy 2 pack yesterday,and while i love the grundy figure,ive been hearing that wonder woman has been breaking when people take her out of the packaging,i would not know because i left her as is,especially after hearing that rumour,can any one confirm if thats true,the last figure i had that broke was Jubilee,and i know several arkers had the same issue.

He does look nice wish I could have snagged one

I managed to take my wonder woman out of the package and work her joints very carefully without breaking her

Amazing stuff, I have the doom and I am supposed to be getting an Archangel and Fury, just waiting on the go ahead to send payments stateside

Good to hear that you had no issues with breakage.im just hoping mine is okay,but ill try taking the figure out tomorrow.also im loving grundys scale next to MU figures,fits in perfectly :)

Are these available this side of the pond, lad? Or did you import them? I'm not sure what inner packaging the DC packs have but surely you could cut most of it with scisssors carefully to minimise the risk?

I sadly didn't even get the chance to do that :( Her arm split in three as soon as I pulled the plastic tray out of the box.

Got grundy in the bigbang,mate.arrived last week.FP have the arrow/deathstroke pack but have no idea when the grundy set will arrive.
as for the packaging?pretty much like the MU 3 packs,but with binds also.
the 2 things i like about the grundy fig is that it is highly detailed and stands taller than the large MU figs.i think that if DC correct the breakage issue,they can sure as hell steal MU's 3/75" crown.

Well, cut the plastic from behind the figure and just watch where the blades are to not scratch the paint.
I think MU is too far ahead, numbers wise for that claim to be made anytime soon lad but who knows what the future holds. Perhaps DC can create their version of solid vision and release it?

every time I look at the wonder woman in mine I know she'll break if I take her out. luckily i'm a mib collector. as far as dc taking mu's crown, they first need to make classic figures and get rid of the high prices to do that...

I dont think its a marvel vs DC issue, I've just never been really impressed by any DC figures. I love the charactures but the figs are usualy poorly articulated or really weird representations of the characture, or just generaly poor quality. this new series looks great but I'd like to see if the scale is comprable to MU.

^ Brutal, but I like it, haha

ill leave her be for the time been,numbers means nothing,how many MU,s use the same features over and over again?i think DC has the numbers,just look at the lantern corps alone,how many characters are there?
hahaha the only way im getting a solid vision is by making a pact with the devil XD

Yeah, don't bother. The devil wants eBay prices for a solid vision. He even wants his shipping cost even tho he has it with him right there at the crossroads...

You guys kill me with your lack of acknowledgement of a secondary market. If a figure is routinely selling for $175 why would anyone take less than market value?
I had someone offer me $10 for a MOC Death's Head Archangel once and they were serious. I think it's ridiculous if someone actually thinks they will get an expensive figure like the 2 mentioned above for anything less than market value.

exactly! and if they wanna go all out and give us a three pack, there's a version of Natasha, Bobbi or Jessica out of costume I will take.
