If not for the blind box crap, I would have already ordered them. I’d love to see international characters from NECA, but, regardless of price, I don’t know where I’d put a bunch of Big Birds.

Super 7 Flocked Big Bird, 50% off, if anyone is interested. Can’t speak for the reliability of the retailer, this is my first order with them. https://www.boxlunch.com/product/super7-sesame-street-reaction-fuzzy-big-bird-figure---boxlunch-exclusive/34592374.html

I have mine displayed in my kitchen, so isn’t impacting my display space. It was the only playset I didn’t buy when the line was originally out and one of the first things I bought when I moved into my current home (back when prices on eBay were still reasonable),

I don’t remember if there was more to the story, but it resulted in Johns designing this thing, named after Neitlich: https://www.figurerealm.com/actionfigure?action=actionfigure&id=31051

I’m also a huge Green Lantern fan, so it worked out for me (in the short-term) and I bought it all, but I’m not going to disagree that they went too far and the movie flopping definitely did not help. Sadly, by the time the animated series came out, no one wanted to have anything to do with...

Thanks, I appreciate the insight. It was mainly a question of curiosity, it was so long ago and Neitlich is long gone, so it doesn't really matter at this point. I know corporations tend to repeat the same mistakes over and over, but hopefully they've learned enough since then to not to let...

Is the ending of DCUC due to Rainbiw Lanterns and/ Super Powers figures a factual thing, or assumptions? My assumption was DCUC line ended because DC/WB decided New 52 only and wanted products to mirror this shift. The New 52 launched September 2011, DCUC ended 2012 and DCD drastically...

Hey, no issues. I figured that is what was going on. I just used the "Insert Image" button with your URLs, the ones specifically pointing to an image. Some of your URLs were pointing to the image host page rather than the image itself.

Hey, @The Batman Professor, not sure why you keep posting pics to the thread and then deleting them, but they are cool pics! FYI, everytime you post, anyone who watches by email receives a notification with the content.

FYI... Mezco's policy is to only charge for preorders up to 20 business days prior to shipping, unless you are using PayPal, where you are basically paying upfront. This would be a big red flag from me. Make sure they don't try to charge you again when the product does release...

DCD already existed when Mattel got the license and WB was likely motivated to keep DCD going. Mattel may have also been competing with Hasbro at the point (assuming they didn’t already jump ship to Marvel), so the WB may have had more leverage. Yeah, the NECA thing was weird, we got the...

Look at the bigger picture... Let's assume WB (they handle the licensing) wants as much money for the license as they can get. In that case, their options are Mattel and who else? Hasbro is unlikely to want to piss off Disney by acquiring a product that competes directly with Marvel (assuming...

The BBTS listing says “…over 10 inches tall.”

If this was a done deal, Todd probably would have already said so. Instead comments from him have included that they are negotiating and that they have the license until the end of the year. None of us knows anything about how the DCD brand works with the overall license that McFarlane has...

Snuffleupagus is a must, the problem is he is as tall and as deep as Big Bird. Maybe they can do him in two half’s like the actual puppet, Snuffy BAF. 😀

NECA's done other 10-inch figures as deluxes (TMNT Cartoon Chrome Dome comes to mind - AI lists a few others), not at quarter scale pricing. Of course, that was before tariffs, so who knows...

You know, there is this weird thing where I genuinely hate math, but when it comes to calculating scale and size of figures, I suddenly become interested enough to muddle through it. Perhaps if they taught math in school with action figures, I wouldn't have hated it so much. In any case, I...

I was just reading an email from NECA that said something like "new year, new releases," and it's just a bunch of horror stuff, and I'm thinking to myself, where the hell is Sesame Street? This shows up about 5 minutes later. It's about time! Looks awesome. I think I'm getting two to use...

I took a quick snap of a couple of my Mezco shelves. A lot of the figures here are using the COB stands. I also use it in various other displays. There is a smaller version that I’ve used with Mafex figures that aren’t flying/jumping, since that one is much smaller than the standard Mafex base...

Try the Mezco arm with bases offered by canofbeams.com. You get the great arm and almost the same stability without the huge footprint. https://canofbeams.com/products/m-base-5?_pos=2&_sid=bb97a1cdf&_ss=r

He’s a muppet of a man.

I’m in the same boat, I have Kamandi and Warlord and every other character DCD and Mattel made. If Mattel makes versions that are better or look better than what I already have I’ll buy them, but what I want from Mattel is new characters (or improvements) for the collection I already have...

Count me among those that never watched Tiger Sharks, so no interest in this line by Super 7 or anyone else. I know Super 7 is overpriced and sucks, but I don’t see anyone else offering Thundercats, and especially SilverHawks. I’m basically done with Thundercats (have all the characters I...

Comic book wise, I’m a DC guy, but I collect both DC (since Super Powers) and Marvel (since Toy Biz began in 1990). I have a huge DC Direct and Mattel collection. On the ML side, I’m more selective (sticking to characters I know from TV and movies), but have been there since Spidey Classics...

I just found this thread and read it from beginning to end. Wow, what an emotional roll coaster. I was on RTM from the beginning when Eric G. Myers and Jason Geyer (aka Toy Otter) created and ran it. I came over from the rec.toys.misc and rec.toys.action-figures usenet groups. I was actually...
