Well the Total Heroes line has not been very successful for them. I will not be surprised if the line ends buy 2015. Making the deluxe figures online exclusives was the first problem. Believing that simple cheep figures is the way to go is the next, and so on. Every time I look at the Hero Mashers ALL OVER the place and hardly ever see more than a couple TH on the pegs tells me that stores are just not ordering them. The Mashers have regular, deluxe, 2 packs, Vehicle packs, and an array of characters already and they have even spread to Transformers. (I think even a GI Joe line of Hero Mashers could be fun). Mattel has just dropped the ball with DC. I am going to hope that we will see a reboot of the DC Classics in a couple years now that Mattel sees how to do it correctly now that Hasbro and Marvel Legends have done all the leg work.

small haul from a local toy show:

i'm already over Hero Mashers. I thought they were cool, but those elbows pop-off too easily

It would be nice. Hopefully DC's upcoming films do not bomb which will help get DC characters out to the general public awareness. Marvel's films have undoubtedly helped the sale of anything with their name, including action figures. Market recognition helps keep lines alive.

It would be awesome to see a really great DC line survive.

Found Rattrap and the Strafe Walmart exclusive here in San Antonio, TX. I also found a new GOTG shirt as well. But I can't upload the picture for some reason.

This was an interesting day of discovery for me at my local Wal-Mart during lunch.

First, I found this NECA Godzilla figure. I was surprised at finding this as I’d never seen any NECA items at Wal-Mart before today. The packaging was a bit on the trashed side but the figure itself looked ok.

I also found these Funko X Super 7 Re-Action Alien figures. Oddly enough, these were located near the express checkout instead of the toy aisle. It looks as though they went heavy with the Alien figure itself in the case but the other figures were 1 each. I picked up the entire set of 5 figures.

Not pictured: Star Wars Black Series 6" Stormtrooper.

Nice! I couldn't wait for Hasbro to bring the Masterpieces over, so I got mine from Hong Kong back in November of last year. I know how big Masterpiece Prowl is, so I was surprised to see such a huge box for the U.S. TRU version. Is it mostly empty spaces in that box?!?

Actually the box isn't that big, it looks big pictured, but in hand it's a good size for him. They did a pretty good job with the spacing and packaging of him in it. Granted it's almost twice the size as Takara but I do like box for this one.

Latest Haul:
Star Wars 12" Storm Trooper...his upper body looks too tiny

Found these today. Looked all over for the last one but did not have any luck

I'm pretty happy to get this. Supernatural was my favorite show for years, but it went downhill during season 3 with the Heaven vs Hell nonsense. Finally stopped watching after season 6, it was just awful. I'll always love that car, though.

Sky-Byte is now in stores !!! Looks like I'll be waking up early tomorrow to do a little hunting :)

Picked up a couple of these little figures. They are pretty cool looking. Only because they were on sale though. Not worth the original price of $8, but they were marked down to $3. Can't really go wrong at that point...
