Little worried.

I was just thinking the same thing. I wonder why, I haven't seen a local store that's been able to keep wave 1 in stock.

I've seen that set at retail, but it couldn't justify paying $50 for it. I hate being one of those guys who waits for things to hit clearance...

So my friend ordered the Injustice Superman/Nightwing pack as a birthday present and it should be here within a few days. Any major problem areas I should look out for? I've heard some problems about the little guys (like they can break straight out of the package) and I'd like to avoid something like that if at all possible. Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

If any of the joints seem to be stuck, don't force 'em. Just accept the fact that that part can't move. You could try heating it up with a hairdryer and carefully attempt to pop it loose, but even then it may break.

And keep an eye on the little pouch things on Nightwing's ankles. Mine is missing one, and I have no idea if it came from the factory that way or if it just fell off as I took it out of the box. It's tiny and impossible to find if it hits carpet.

Nice.



This is what I'm most afraid of. Appreciate the tip. Thanks.

Hey guys

I got the new Deathstroke figure and it was so hideous I decided to just salvage the head and web gear to make this.

Ive done a few Slade customs in the past, some more intricate than others but this was definitely the fastest and easiest of them all...and its my favourite! :P

Are the blue armor parts also from the original DS toy? And I'm assuming that's a Snake Eyes sword? It works very well, not only because it's similar to Deathstroke's island sword from Arrow, but the "S" on the hilt could also stand for Slade.

also, any new batman beyond figures coming out for batman's 75th?

In the action figure market, both are trying to find a balance between selling to kids and collectors. Personally, I happen to like the "evergreen" Batman line of 4" figures because of the fact that they're supposed to be played with. For me, that's the charm and appeal -- they're actual child playthings. (I really hope they make a Batmobile for the evergreen 4" Batman.) But we may be entering a time when little boys in the coming years won't be interested in action figures at all (unless they can be interacted with digitally, such as via augmented reality), so it will be up to the adult collector market. Will Mattel be able to step up, that's the question. And this could conflict with DCC's offerings.

Anyway, I just learned that Hot Toys also sold a snap-together 4" pose-able Batman action figure from Batman Begins several years ago, which is near impossible to find for sale now new or assembled. So Hot Toys can also be added to the alternative DC 4" action figure category.

If anyone could manage to collect all the DC 4" figures sold by DCC, Takara (Microman series), Bandai, and MEGO, then you get props by me for being a hard-core collector. :)
