Re: Post your Action Figure hauls!

Grabbed a DCUC Raven because... Like the character enough, figure's not 100% perfect, I mean look at that cape, but she's still great.

Anybody need a leg for whoever the slag the BAF is supposed to be, my DC Knowledge is bare minimum at best and I have no intention of buying up the entire wave to build this wierdo since, aside from MM I probably don't want any other figures from the wave. (Wave 15 that is folks.)

Re: Post your Action Figure hauls!

Color me unimpressed. Found an Air Assault Drone from Marvel's Iron Man 2 toyline at Marshalls and was thrilled to pick him up. Until I cracked him open and discovered a few glaring flaws with him. For starters while the figure was obviously meant for the wrists to have articulation (at least according to Hasbro's Card Back) they are made of such soft plastic they will not turn and in fact I almost tore the damn things clean off trying to get them to move.

Secondly, one elbow joint is screwed up badly, it refuses to turn properly. The ball and socket pin joint is angled incorrectly meaning that you can bend it, but it looks like a floppy broken mess, especially with the wrist stuck facing the wrong way.

Seriously a cool looking action figure bogged down by poor QC, I've heard you can soften joints up by warming them a little, I've never done it before so wouldn't know where to begin. All I know is, while the figure is nice to own finally, the lack of full range of motion from a figure that was actually engineered with all the proper joints makes for a dismal looking display piece on my shelf.

Oh well, live and learn, not all figures will look great coming straight out of the packaging. Also forgive the double post, thought someone else would have reported a new haul by now.

Re: Post your Action Figure hauls!

picked up wave 2 of the blindpack kre-o Gi Joes, TF Springer, and Batman Legacy DKR Batman and since they were $6 ea, the multi-colored Bats as well.

Mail wise, my matty order of DCUC Huntress and MOTUC Sky High and Jet Sled came in, love the vehicle, hoping for a battle ram soon but definately not looking forward for the cost

GI Joe Retaliation Wave 3.5 Movie Figures!

Here is my haul video:

I only ordered one case of these figures from my local comic book store. After seeing the figures, I should have ordered 2 cases instead of one.
