I could swear that there was a whole series tho.. oh well
there might have been a tv series in the 90s when I grew up(Im only 25, i basically missed out on the 80s:(). If somebody wants to check out imdb, thatd probably solve anyones question.

And the Quality Control issues?? My Scarlet spidey's leg FELL OFF the minute i opened the blister!!! My (first) Juggernaut had two right arms!!not to mention all the improperly fitted together arm/leg joints,and deformed legs iv seen due to shoddy worksmanship in the packing factory,so yes Joes are pricier than MU,but you DO get a much better standard of figure for the extra cost...
Wonder why Joe's have better QC than Marvel since they're the same company...must be in different factories and so forth...

$9 is getting rough for these little guys (MU is there now too), but if they either come with the slew of accessories that Joes do, or have the articulation of a Marvel Universe Cable/Cyclops/Dr. Strange, then I'm ok with it.

..and I don't have enough Joes to really say, but my small experience with them is that they're pretty high quality in terms of paint, detail, and consistency. I like them.

About the only thing I got this week were two new Marvel MegaBloks minifigs (Series 2 Thor and Loki). Pics tomorrow, hopefully.

I also "got" HFTD Windcharger from Amazon, but it's currently sitting at my in-laws house waiting for me. Once I have that, I will finally have a complete set of ROTF/HFTD Scouts. Can't wait to finally check that off my list.

Different divisions, too. MU, SW, TF and Joes are all separate divisions of Hasbro with their own designers, marketing and production schedules.

Well, at least we got a pretty funny "Weird Al" parody out of it.

Strange. The stores around me still have them at $6.97 each. Still haven't gotten the Zombie Viper wave, but the price hasn't jumped either. And MUs are still $7.99-$8.78 at most places around as well. Again, not much selection at the moment.

You would think though that they would want the QA to be all across the board the same...

They do, but different factories and production schedules make that difficult to maintain all the time. And it's not like they have inter-department meetings or share design teams. But I'll be the first to admit I wish they would when it comes to Joes.

IDK...New merch I want in stores but more expensive or same old price but nothing I would want to buy...

Don't think I posted the second. I'm not sure if anybody knows about this or not on toyark, but I'm trying to figure out the differences between the two batmobiles other than the different cards, like is the card thing a variant or something? I just got both of them because I just like batmobiles

So Symbiote grabbed Heavy Load for me for my birthday knowing damn well that it would open pandora's box for me because I'd have to get the rest. I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUT OF THE TRANSFORMERS GAME!

lol, but seriously, if anything was going to be worth getting back to transformers it was definitely these guys. Have the last two on order and just waiting TFsource to receive them from the supplier so they can ship.

Haha that's so awesome, saw these over on the TFW2005 board as well. Like I said on there, if these were Hasbro made I would be all of them! You would think they would get these in the Generation lines...

These are very well made. I was very impressed with these guys. I just hope the same company does a "Not" Predaking next!

Snowflakian 01-19-2012 04:51 AM
Picked up minimates Dante vs Deadpool. Thinking about going back and getting the Minimates Zero vs Magneto.

After that, the only other ones I want are Viewtiful Joe, and then the Felicia vs X-23 pack.

They're a little more than Encore Dev... like $500 more. Each Con is $100. Definitely a killer looking set though.

I'd be all over it if I had the bankroll for something like that. Sadly it'd wipe out my marvel and transformer figure budget for an entire year.

I love me some minimates, but I'm trying to keep my purchases at a minimum of them. Only armored guys and X-Force plus anything X-23... Then it grew because of capcom. I can't pass up Darkstalkers or Megaman minimates!

Magneto I don't really want... But considering how my collection focuses on armored heroes like Ironmna, warmachine, dynamo, titanium man, and armored cap, magneto seems like the perfect villian choice for that display. xD

zero/magneto is a great set. Zero is just so well done and magneto has awesome accessories. I have the iron man arthur one as well. I can't figure out wtf to do with his giant cannon. I'd have gotten haggar and hulk, but the hulk looked awful. I got the hulk from the pack with ironman first appearance

Ooh Predaking would be awesome, as well as all the other Transformers that merge into a big A$$ Transformer.

Yes, they're neat looking, only going to get X-23 as well...

The 2 packs are usually 8 while the 4 packs can vary from 15-20.

I was going to collect that whole line as well, but way too many to collect:P So I sold off my own collection and just going to concentrate on X-23.
They can get pretty spendy, and are almost the cost of a MU figure, so that's why I stopped getting these guys. They do have a great variety though, almost better than the MU line.

tgbobafett 01-19-2012 10:24 AM
Got these today. Went ahead and broke down and bought the Renegade Cobra Trooper and bought the new VC Quinlan Voss......I don't remember him in the Phantom Menace though.

The same can be said about a lot of SW characters... :)

Nothing different about the cars themselves, just the cardback is different. Some stores use a more compact peg/board system than Walmart and Target (the smaller grocery stores/chains in my area are like this) and the smaller backs let them put more product in the same amount of space.

If you count differences in packaging as variants, then yes it's a variant. But only some HW collectors seem to be interested in the half-cards. Or at least that's been my experience. In fact, I've heard that some complain about it, since they doesn't match the majority of HW releases.

All that aside, I have one opened on my desk at work right next to my TAS and '66 Batmobiles. I'm a sucker for any 1/64" HW Batmobile. :D

QFT.

I actually got both of those batmobiles at the same toys r us. My BTTF hot wheels car is on the tiny card, I want the normal size version. When you hang it up it kinda flies forward. I don't like it. I saw a weird 2 pack at a walmart the other day. It was a 1989 movie style batmobile paired up with a batman-esque monster truck. I should have gotten it. My son would have loved the monster truck. No idea why I passed. Haven't seen that pack since


You'll see one guy in one frame of a movie for a fraction of a second, six months later he's THE guy to get.

trebleshot 01-19-2012 11:48 AM
I've got an MOC BTTF car on a regular card, if you're interested. Shoot me a PM.

As for the nanosecond cameos in SW and the instant fandom that erupts around them, I blame the novels/comics. They tend to take any character that Lucas didn't explicitly cover in the films and fill in all kinds of backstory. It's why Dengar went from some fatass mummy wannabe in ESB to a bad-ass bounty hunter that ends up saving Boba Fett's life (Tales of the Bounty Hunters collection).
