i wrote to DST after the spidey boxed set came out and my sandman arm broke of from being fused in the pack, i got an email saying " they were hoping to get more figs, from that set, from their overseas factory" a week later i recievd an email that "they were not going to get any, sorry" and that was it i ask for any replacement torso to fix sandman with, no reply. now i just got the avengers wave and Scarlett witches knee broke fresh from the pack i have sent two emails and haven't even recieved a reply.

there are not any "new" figures in the 8 pack strictly repaints, but for he most part complete meaningful repaints that work. cap repainted to us agent red daredevil to his yellow costume fully engulfed in flame human torch to johnny storm iron man to war machine phoenix to dark phoenix movie spidey to comic book red/blue spidey the only two that are unnessesary are thing in blue/black to thing in blue/white and hulk to hulk (the new one being a darker green, and having blue rather than purple pants, so i guess maybe its the movie hulk)

i've been lucky enough to aquire all the Marvel(regular and) variants from series one up to and including the series 16 bearded thor. Santa spidey Mr t John stewart all the variants for BSG including the promo Starbuck and elf cylon FCBD and some of the Wizard and retailer blanks all the C3s except Tactical Bats and the Javelin flash and Manhunter i'd love to find a silver and/or gold spidey( but who wouldnt) but dont hold out much hope. which of these is truly rare i dont know but i love them all! -M

i hadnt even finished reading the story of the listing before i noticed no "Blues brothers", "Animal house" and "Apocalypse now" then a quick scan and no "Scarface" i think there are many more.

Nope, just their various clothing accessories and a puzzle piece stand. -M

to quote Bob from the movie What about Bob? "gimme gimme gimme i need i need i need"

hopefully someone here scored the gold/silver spideys and other goodies.

Not obscure but can we please get a Red skull and Crossbones two pack, kinda obscure how about a Diamond back so Cap isn't lonely. Bucky too, before he was dead and all, Yeah i'm a big Captain America fan,always have been.

what fun, i love this community! Thanks Shanester!

Sweet! Taskmaster is one of my all time favorite characters, and i didnt ever think he would be made in MM form hence my entry into the villian contest

Happy Birthday from me to you, ill take number 72.

like i said no beef with the fig itself it looks good, but its not all that different from series one, besides that fact we're headed down the same spidey/wolerine path they havent even given us legit variations(grey,black, azbat etc) and we get another blue/grey. plenty of other bats and supes characters to "carry" the line for a bit. lets see them first.

YES! LOBO, guess i can scrap the custom i was working on. they look great but do we need yet another batman and flash at this point?

yeah, but i have to admit to being completly anal when it comes to things like this, i will get a new one and use the parts for customs- sick huh?

THANKS! got out my pick set and got it out but it still P!$$e$ me off now i have to replace a mediocre figure -M

Are you sure you can't reattach it? OH YEAH the ball joint is stuck in the arm i cant even get it out with pliers. grrrrrrrr

@#$%&* arm on my power house sandman broke off! anyone have one they want to get rid of?

Batman can hold any of the Marvel accessories, his hands have s lightly larger "grip" than the marvels and on top of that his hands are made of a softer vinyl so there is a little "give" to them. He also has no problem wearing marvel backpacks though the do sit a little lower on his back. i tried bats "gun/batarang launcher" in caps hand and although the handle is slightly larger in diameter than Caps "grip" it fits with a bit of pushing, batman does not come with any sort of backpack so i couldn't try it but the back "peg" on the Marvel figs is slightly wider than that on the Dc figs may need some very subtle trimming to get those Dc backpacks on your spidey and friends figs.

ok heres some some team up pics, we'll find out who the real heroes are: shoulder to shoulder- about the same height caps got a bigger noggin' and hands with a friendlier appearance, bats has more definition. both are jointed at hips, shoulders,elbows, wrists and neck, but bats gets the Nod(literally) with a nice ball jointed neck to caps "can only say NO" swivel neck Bats has some loooooonnng monkey arms may be good for swinging around Gotham but look kind of funny. check out the feet on Cap i guess we know who the real man is. like they say big feet....big super boots! HOLY CHOKING HAZZARD, BATMAN! the two pieces that make up Batmans hands and guantlets come off very easily this could pose a problem for the lil' ones. maybe a recall is in order, those that want one might want to pick it up sooner than later? i may be biased(more of a Marvel fan myself, although i do love Batman) but i think the Marvel "spidey and friends" figures are better, my 5 year old son agrees!

Exactly! ill get a comparison pic up asap.

so i've been collecting spidey and friends figures for my sons since the beginning, not all of them(like fireman spidey or beach hulk) but the "comic accurate" ones ala captain america, regular spidey, wolverine etc..., and was very excited when i heard about DCs take on them as adding Batman and superman to the play would be cool, now i picked up a Batman only to find that they are smaller than their Marvel counterparts a little tip to Dc/ Mattel or whomever when you try to rip off or cash in on another companies idea at least follow through and make them as close to the same as possible, not bigger to show your characters are tougher and definately not smaller, especially in a kid oriented line sheesh!

Thanks Jeff, my sons actually had some of the recalled ones! -M

Those are the "spiedy and friends" style DC figs i mentioned, i have found nothing about "super hero squad" style DC figs.

i don't mind helping you out Titan, ill pm you -M
