I just got the Wolverine / Silver Samurai 2-pack today from BBTS today and the Wolverine is missing one of his claws on his left hand, and it's not in the box. Super bummed because I've been waiting with great anticipation for this set to arrive. If that damned claw had just been loose in the...

Saying that Mattel will start out playing it safe with all the usual suspects may not be entirely accurate. If you remember they actually started out the original DCUC line with a first wave of some pretty not all A-list characters. They had only on A-list hero and villain, classic blue and gray...

I was trying to think of a comic book superhero universe Todd could take on after the DC license expires, and I realized that no one has ever done classic Valiant Comics figures. I would personally be so down for that. Back in the 90's Valiant was right up there with Marvel and DC in popularity...

I am so glad I don't buy movie figures. I don't think I could do this again tomorrow.

Wow! That Scarecrow was the most difficult pre-order I ever had to deal with for a McFarlane DC figure. Right at noon I went to BBTS and the site was super slow. But I finally got in and put Scarecrow in my cart. Everything is already set-up for payment and such so I clicked the submit order...

I am a big fan (and staunch defender) of McFarlane's DC figures, but $34.99 for Dr. Midnight is ridiculous. He's a regular sized figure that comes with 4 extra hands and an owl. While Silver-Age Batman came with 4 extra hands, a bat-a-rang and Ace The Bat-Hound for $22.99 just a few months ago...

Some pretty awesome reveals. The gray suit Black Widow is the winner for me. I still remember when that look was introduced during Frank MIller's run on DD. Speaking of which the track suit Daredevil is another one I would like to grab. That mini-series was great and was a big influence on the...

It looks like the big upcoming pre-order dates are Sep. 17th and 18th. Right now it looks like all I'll be picking up are Scarecrow and Dr. Midnight. I like the new Batgirl head sculpt, but not enough to pay for her again since it's basically the exact same figure as 3-Jokers with lighter gray...

A new classic Cockrum / Byrne style Cyclops has been my number one Marvel Legends want for some time now. So I was ready and waiting at 2pm and I pre-ordered 2 of them. I tell you, now that that's coming out I am hard pressed to think of any Marvel characters that I still really want that...

I tried to log into my EE account and it wouldn't let me. So I clicked the "forgot my password" button and I got an email saying that my account was no longer active and I'd have to start over and create a new one. So I just went with BBTS. I haven't really ordered much from EE, (which is...

What about big retailers like Amazon? I could be wrong, but from what I understand Amazon is absorbing at least some (if not all) of the tariff charges. And if not, at least you know what you're paying up front and can decide if it's worth it or not. If you buy from an overseas seller, it's...

Aren't these going to be available everywhere, like Amazon, GameStop, BBTS, and Entertainment Earth, etc.? So why deal with an overseas seller and have to guess at what kind of tariff you might get hit with?

What time do SH Figuarts figures usually go up for pre-order? Is there a specific time they go live? Or is it random?

I always wanted that animated Batcave did but it's just too big. And once you take it out and put it all together there's probably no way to get back in its box. The Batcave set-up I have now is one that can break down and put away when I'm not using it. So, I'll probably have to pass on the...

I went for the bundle too, and with the 10% off code the figure was basically free. But $100 for the Batmobile is about $20 more than I thought it would be. Plus the cheapest shipping option was $24. Man, I don't think I could afford to stay in this hobby if McFarlane kept the DC license.
