It might, we don't know the details of the contract. It could be conventions would be the one loop hole they have.

Either you're the A list or you're not. MU started with three A listers in the first assortment. If it was Hal Jordan I'd give you an A lister but while cool characters K&K are b list at best. (I'd personally put them c list)

I wonder what level of convention they mean? NY comic con? Boston? Philly? I have six guys I can get together wearing DC shirts? doers that count as a con?

It'll be interesting to see what they reveal at SDCC. I'm not going and won't pay scalper prices for these so show me what else is coming and where I have to go to get it. I figure I can make it as far as Washington DC

Help! The damn G4 video won't load on my phone. I wanna see em!

As I understand it, they are SDCC exclusives only. No NYCC or any other con. That may change if there is an announcement made at SDCC. Or they simply could confirm it.

These are a huge improvment but theres no wrist swivel and the hands see, oversized on Kyle.

Still, I'd happily pay $25 for this set- looooove Kyle.
Guy would be better though.

What pisses me off is that this is SUCH scalper-bait- expect Ebay insanity right after SDCC.:rolleyes

They, and DC Direct have been making DC toys for years. Even longer than Mattel. They've never sold to chain retailers, selling instead through Comic shops first, then the Online market when that became a successful outlet in the early 00's.
Pretty sure it's safe to assume they could sell these that way, too. Hard to imagine a reason why they'd be restricted to selling articulated 4" figures exclusively at conventions, but can still sell their 6" figures through their traditional means.

I wouldn't exactly call Punisher or Daredevil a list characters. At all. They're actually about the same level as Guy Gardner, Captain Marvel, Kilowog, and Kyle Rayner.

Well, he did say only three A-list characters were in the first wave of MU (which I assume he meant Spider-Man, Iron Man and Wolverine). I also think there may be some debate as to whether Johnny Storm belongs in that list, or if it's only in conjunction with his team.

As for Kyle and Kilowog, personally I'd split it 50/50. Kyle was the main GL for a time, but I realise he might have taken a back seat these days after Jordan returned. Kilowog, on the other hand, has always been a supporting character within the GL comics (from what I remember of them). For Gardner and Marvel, I put them firmly in the B-list camp.

It still sucks that this two-pack won't at least be available through LCS. On the plus side, I'm hoping these sell out quickly and that Mattel is paying attention when it happens.

Ah. Alright my bad.
My appologies tlasjr, I didn't catch that part. I'd thought you were saying the entire lineup was a list.

No worries. And yes Trebleshot nailed it. And I will give them that that K&K are WORLDS ahead of how Matty started DCIH.

I also would assume the same rules would apply to the contract for the 6" and 4" lines but you can't be sure until you read the contract. I always go back to Star Wars the arcade game. Lucasarts licenese the right to make the Star Wars arcade game to Atari who has to license it to Parker Brothers who releases it on Atari systems.

Punisher and Daredevil both got their own movies, and even people who don't like superheroes like Punisher. He's definitely A-list.

I say Punisher is B+/A- list. DD is becoming A list.

Due to the existence of Ben Affleck and his role as DD, I will never enjoy a Daredevil movie. Same thing happened with Ryan Reynolds and the Green Lantern flick. Hollywood thinks that these talentless dipshits make good heroes, but it doesn't work.

I didn't mind Ben as DD. Would of liked to see Ryan as Kyle Rayner in a supporting cast roll though..

I liked Afleck as DD...

I agree with this.
And would also like to add that I don't think either movie is as bad as they get trashed for being. Though, I'll admit I only ever saw the Directors Cut for Daredevil, and I'm told that's a dramatically better quality movie.

But yeah, Ryan isn't bad, he's just bad for Hal. Him as Kyle would have been a major improvement.

You guys are very kind, because I hated both of their performances. Then again, we can't agree on everything, right?

I saw the DD Directors Cut a few months ago, it was a huge improvement, actually made it one of my favorites. Still not a fan with how they did Bullseye though. When a man with a bullseye on his forehead asks for a fucking costume, you bet give him one!

All I know, is they could of gotten some one worse to play DD... as for GL...couldn't of picked a worse guy to play Hal [although I do like Ryan, got to support the homeboy XD]

He was a great Wade Wilson.

He also would make a great Wally West as well

Horrible that these are convention exclusives.

This conversation about Ben and Ryan is one of the few going on that inspired me to make this thread, Might be best to move this interesting convo there.

Interesting how this started out about good articulated GL figures, and ended up about Ben Afleck and Ryan Renolds as Daredevil and Green Lantern. lol

yeah LXL Guy summed up why this happened. who cares about these figures if we end up having to loose vital organs to find/pay for it

Sorry, my nerd rage kicked in.

Don't appologize! It's a fun conversation!
