I saw those as well...looks kinda like a firing effect coming out the end of the gun. Not necessary to have those pieces to complete the gun.

Man, new sculpts and the articulation is completely outdated. Come on Mattel, Killer Croc is made of entirely new parts. Why doesn't he have double joined knees and elbows? NOr ankle rockers? Same goes for Supergirl. Oh, and that Joker looks even worse in toy form than he does in the trailers.

I wish the party wagon had the orange bomb things.

The line ran for 4 years with 20 waves at retail. Three more years a subscription line. Multiple spin-offs, multipacks, and exclusives. That's not really a failure. http://i1.wp.com/thefwoosh.com/wp-co...U-Logo-MED.jpg http://www.toyark.com/attachments/26...8376666-83.jpg |
I may be getting rid of the line thanks to the Icons, but Mattel did give us an incredible line. It's just that they kind of ruined the fun when they went to the Matty stuff and their quality control is outrageous. I forgot how bad a lot of my figures actually are from a quality stand point. Wally's legs are super loose. I have several figures with loose ankles so it is hard for them to stand up. Giant characters being too small and regular sized characters are too big. Then they started to give only a selected few figures double jointed knees and elbows. Other figures, like Robin and Mercury, are fragile. Then we have weird hands on certain figures (like huge fists for Constantine and Uncle Sam, fists on Flash instead of running hands, etc). Frozen joints. Finally, I never realized how bad their T crotch was until I started collecting the Legends and Icons.

GI Joe is in serious need a complete overhaul. They need to just do a six inch based on the original Marvel Comic. I would so buy a first appearance Cobra Commander.

I can't understand why anyone would defend Mattel,they are simply cheap,and don't care about collectors!

They re-used Bane's coat from TDKR movie masters.....shameless.
But they all look really good otherwise. My wallet's going to be hurting. |

Even STar Wars Black and Marvel Legends have seen their articulation modified/reduced due to cost concerns. Quote:
To me, the BvS core movie line is ASTONISHING in regards to how Mattel has traditionally handled a Batman line (and Unlimited has shown significant strides as well). I mean, the first wave had FOUR distinct characters, not to mention a LexBot and probably a Doomsday as well. That's a FAR cry from how TDKR was handled, where Catwoman didn't even get a 4" figure, or TDK where characters not Batman or Joker were limited to the poorly distributed tail end of line. And that's not even addressing the articulation, which will still not super articulated (and you're not apt to get that for $10), it's still a solid range of joints for a 6" $10 action figure. Of course, we'll see these steps forward this year and another year or two at best, then Mattel will go back to their same old shenanigans |
Catwoman did get a 4 inch figure it was just in a pack with other figures.

It isn't just that mattel don't give a damn about the collectors, they don't even care for the children! We all know that "curvy" barbie nonsense wasn't made for little girls in first mind, but to certain small group of people who have an impact on the media. Now in the toyfair, they announce about collaboration between monster high and feminist foundation established by celebrity. In other words, mattel pushed politics into children toys! I think it's very inappropriate. Even though, there is a few toys from mattel that I still like, I am actually considering to boycott them because of this and I hope parents would stop buy mattel toys for their children. |
