Last picture those Super Friends figures, I have wanted all of those for the longest time, they did a fabulous job on them, like right out of the cartoon.

Yeah, that's the Jae Lee one. Really nice figure. The Catwoman from the line is neat, too. I agree! Those are some of my absolute favourites. Of course, I wish the line had twice the amount of figures in it. We're short some very important characters. The thing that is really missing for me, though, is a villain for Flash. Captain Cold would have been perfect. |

Yeah. I knew about the Batman/Superman: Public Enemies and Batman/Superman: Vengeance figures because I have some of those figures, I didn't realize that DC Direct also did JLA Classified figures in his style too.

Nice MOTU pickups, and I love Defenders of the Earth! Have you been picking up the other ones in this line? I totally missed that Garax was announced, thanks to your post I went out and looked up what was new.

From McFarlanestore? Or found them in the wild?
How is that TOYCOLLECTR** magazine? Pretty gutsy to make printed magazine again. I hope they'll do well. I still have my entire run of Toyfare magazines in the basement...somewhere... **(that's the problem with printed materials, you can't correct the typos! Ha ha) |

The idea of a print magazine, though, was more than I could resist. I loved ToyFare! It's actually that magazine's fault I started collecting DC Direct (and ended up with 34 long boxes of comics). I first started collecting McFarlane's Tortured Souls. Slowly moved on to a few other horror type things and started buying toy magazines. Then…I bought the issue of ToyFare with the Jason Todd exclusive figure revealed. I had to find out why in the hell they were making a toy of a dead Robin. So, I started buying comics. And then the toys. I got very hooked on both, (if you can believe it). ToyFare has cost me tens of thousands of dollars! |

I never really saw the appeal of most of the tortured souls line, the only figure from it I can look at without getting nauseous is the “censored” variant of lucidique. |

Tortured Souls, well, pretty much all Clive Barker's stuff, aren't for most people.
As for toys, I blame Toyfare and the internet. Toyfare for making me aware there's such a thing as a "toy collecting community", and the internet for providing a way for me to buy stuff that I otherwise would have no knowledge it existed or ability to acquire. |

Tortured Souls still hold a special place in my heart, though, I can agree they are not for everyone.

Wow that’s a lot of dcd!
I can’t believe how many rare figure I see in those pics, like Stephanie brown batgirl who skyrocketed in price and rarity. |

My Stephanie came with wonky eyes, but I didn't do anything about it. A few years later, I decided to get another one, but saw the prices. Yikes. I'll live with her looking like Marty Feldman, I guess. Last edited by SpasticPlastic; 09-24-2022 at 06:53 PM.. |

I love those Batman Hush figures, I've been meaning to get the rest of them. Right now Riddler is the only one I have and I've had him for a long time. Also, it was a loose Riddler figure I found at Vintage Stock that's missing his hat and cane.

I love them, too. In fact, it was that line that got me into DC Direct.

Yeah. For me, it was the DC Direct Batman/Superman Ed McGinnis lines that introduced me to DC Direct. I like that they're sculpted to match the art style of the artist who drew the comic they're based on. However, I must ask, is it me, or are those early DC Direct figures extremely fragile over the summer I was gluing broken figures back together and I noticed just how many were DC Direct figures. In fact, when I got the Public Enemies Captain Marvel he was a loose figure I found at Vintage Stock and his legs were already glued back on by the previous owner. So I know I'm not the only one to find them fragile. I'm just curious if that's been your experience with DC Direct figures too.

Is that a Batman logo mirror?!?!
That is a HUGE Solomon Grundy! I didn't know they made that. Who is that big brown guy behind him? Last edited by Cyclopswc; 09-26-2022 at 11:51 AM.. |

Sorry! Somehow I missed your question. I haven't had too many problems with breakages. I think some of the older ones used pins/ posts/ pegs that became quite brittle over time, but I rarely move joints around on my figures. I bet if I tried to now some may crumble to dust. When I moved into this house, I had everything crammed into totes (and stayed there for about 7 years), so I had a couple of female figures arms snap off at the elbow and a Man-Bat lost his head. Otherwise, I've had problems with the wrist peg/hinges on the "super-posable" classic Superman (and every figure after that used the same mold) breaking like crazy. Beyond that, I've only had a handful of instances where a figure falls off the shelf and breaks a limb or something.

Ran into some good luck in Target and came home to a zombie on a pony from Gamestop.
