The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

The only other high-ranking, easily recognizable heroine in the Star Wars Saga is Padmé, but your display is clearly OT-oriented, so it'd make no sense to slip Natalie Portman's character into the mix.

I mean, there's Rebel Alliance leader Mon Mothma....but who aside from the more hardcore Star Wars nerds knows or even cares who Mon Mothma even is?

Not to mention that Sideshow has yet to make a figure or either Padme or Mon Mothma. Looking, back I really should have made Loki the Emperor, but it wouldn't have been as visually interesting.

The Vintage Collection Ewok Assault Catapult set (Kmart exclusive) has just hit!

Retail for the two figures, catapult weapon and Vintage packaging is $20.99.

Aw!

 

[Roshi]

Aaaand finally a Red Spartan!!!

 

[cooleddie74]

Glorious.

Blood Gulch would be proud to host such a magnificent armored warrior.

Love those HALO figures. I don't have many, only about four of the 5.5-inch line, but they're cool to both play with and display, IMO.

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

McFarlane's Halo figures are just great. It proves that they're still capable of fantastic work. Makes me wonder what the heck happened with the Walking Dead line.

Picked up the DCC Joker from Death of the Family. Man, this figure is great. The detail is gruesome, as it should be. It perfectly captures the look of the Joker from this story. It's also a nice break from the purple suit after purple suit that Joker figures tend to be.

-Torynn Farr
-Snowtrooper Commander
-another Darth Vader of an as-yet-unknown theme and film

[Admiral_Young]

Faceless Joker will be mine....also Sarge!!!!


Is this the tease of the cardback design?

Earth 2 GL and Wonder Woman look great. Black Cat and Superior Spidey are must buys for me. i may not be so fond of the comic, but i do dig the Superior Spidey suit.

Some NYCC Hasbro Night pics of four of the brand new, upcoming Black Series 3.75" figures in the waves following Darth Plagueis.

While this new Yoda might be a smidge too tall as somebody else pointed out, he looks like he might be the all-time best action figure of the original Frank Oz puppet from Empire.

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

I'm really not a fan of the Earth-2 redesigns, so I guess I'll be passing on those. Also, Wonder Woman seems an odd choice. Wasn't she killed off in the first issue? Why not Hawkgirl instead? The cartoony War figures don't appeal to me, either. Yeesh, I'm a downer, aren't I?

i like Alan's redesign fine. but Flash...not so much. it is odd having Earth 2 WW in that line...but i like that version of her costume so i'll get it too. maybe the new Earth 2 Batman. not sure. and yeah, Hawkgirl or Dr. Fate would have been better choices than WW.

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

Yeah, Jay's costume is certainly the one I've had the hardest time getting used to. I also don't like that he and Alan are no longer contemporaries. Green Lantern and Flash must be best friends no matter the generation or universe.

 

[cooleddie74]

The upcoming Toryn Farr action figure in the Black Series looks eerily accurate. I always thought Toryn Farr in Echo Base has a resemblance to Helen Hunt or Leelee Sobieski and her first action figure does have a Helen or Leelee vibe to it with those facial features.

Finally - those of you who wanted to reenact scenes from Mad About You or Deep Impact have the customizing fodder you need.

 

[Admiral_Young]

First look at the "Justice League: War" figures and I guess they're designs in the DTV as well for that matter.

http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/dc-collectibles-takes-nycc13/

Not sure how I feel about them.

A close look at the upcoming 6" Han Solo from the Black Series, based on his classic appearance in A New Hope.

OMG! From NY Comic-Con (cue John Williams music):

KNEEL BEFORE (4-inch) ZOD!

And there's some Batman/Batman Returns stuff too:

Gallery at Toy News International

All are part of the 4-inch DC Comics Multiverse line, which also includes figures of characters from the Arkham games.
