The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

^That's not a bad idea, actually. Generally Hasbro has been pretty good about including small versions of Ant-Man and Wasp as pack-ins too. I suppose the Marvel Legends Giant Man could work as a bigger version for Marvel Universe displays, too.

 

Here are a couple of pics. Forgot about the mini Elastigirl, and I seem to be missing an Antman, which is not as surprising as it should be. Also included my custom Giant Man I did about 20 years ago.

McFarlane is doing Game of Thrones construction sets. I passed up their Walking Dead line, but I may not be able to pass these up.

 

Just nine weeks left to go until the official retail launch of toys and other merchandise from The Force Awakens. San Diego Comic-Con is just a couple of weeks away so we should be getting our very first looks at some of those toys later this month.

 

I think McFarlane does better set pieces than figures. He does not comprehend the need for a variety of poses.

Got my hands on a Funko mini bobblehead Black Widow!



She and mini Hawkeye are so cute.

 

Didn't see this posted yet...but our first look at "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" figures. Typical Mattel IMO, still will be getting them but not really that impressed. Nice interior box art though for the two pack. The Barbie Wonder Woman looks fantastic as does the Hot Wheels Batmobile which will be mine.

Yeah, I would say typical Mattel mentality, nothing in 4" scale.

Re-posting from last year- Captain America is a little too patriotic. Poor Captain Britain!





I'll have a new Shelf Avengers Fourth of July celebration up tonight!

 

Cap and Hawk gonna be singing "skyrockets in flight?" I can hear Natasha now. "Has anyone seen Brian and Dane?"

The Shelf Avengers have a barbecue to celebrate the Fourth of July and Captain America's birthday!

 

i bought my first Star Wars Black Series 6 inch figure. Clone Trooper with red stripe. he's pretty neat.

Congratulations! I'm glad you like him.

I have yet to find the 6" Clone Trooper Captain myself. The newest wave assortments aren't exactly hitting in large numbers around here but I'm still looking for the ones I haven't yet found.

 

Uh oh. Shelf Avengers+Alcohol is typically a dangerous mix!

I found some more Star Wars Black Series.


Palpatine's soft good cloak looks better than I expected it to. It really bugs me that his cane is too short to reach the ground even with his arm fully extended. I would have liked some for Force Lightning bits too, but oh well. Han and Luke are pretty decent for what are essentially pre-existing heads slapped on a pre-existing body. Black Series scale has been a bit wonky, but it's nice that they paid attention in an area where it really counts. Luke is indeed a little short for a Stormtrooper.

 

I've found the Stormtrooper Han but have yet to track down either the Luke or the new Emperor. Congratulations!

 

I saw them at my local store but I'm not sure if you live in the area (Poconos)

 

Me? No, I'm down in Virginia.

 

Oh ok. I haven't been there in a while!

I was thinking of opening some of my 6 inch Black series figures.

 

Which ones? Post some pics of your figures if you do decide to open and display some of them!

 

Yep. Poor Black Knight lost an arm and was too smashed to find it again.
