Mysterious Stranger

Just waiting on one more recipient confirmation then I'll start dishing out Feedback for everyone.

Sweet!

Those LED lights are nice and exactly what I was wanting, I just haven't seen any with a flat lens like that, they're usually a little curved. I'll have to check Home Depot for them.

I love how these translucent and clear figures come out. I'm thinking of getting a small artist lightbox to use as a pedestal to display them on.

I just opened the figures I got from MisterPL and I'm mostly impressed with them. Old Man Logan is a great variant of the character. Iron Man will fit right in with the other armors I have in the Hall of Armor. I got Miles because I really like his Ultimate series and I needed him for my small Ultimate Comics collection. X-23 Wolverine is a nicely designed figure with one big issue - the yellow on her torso and arms isn't heavy enough to cover the blue block its printed on. This wouldn't be an issue except that her hip piece, legs and mask all have a nice vibrant yellow. One or the other would be great but the mix between the two is distracting. I can forgive the color of the stripe on the arms, its not as noticeable, but the big torso tampo, front and back, really stands out. Its a shame too because this is a solid design. Over all, I'm happy with these four. They are really the only ones I wanted from this wave and I'm glad I got them.

I haven't had the best of luck buying through the TRU ebay store. Especially with something like this where there are multiple items under the same shelf tag.

I think Onyx_6 has me covered. Thanks though.

I spotted both the DD and JJ sets when I was out yesterday. After I already bought them online.

Struck out on these at the local TRU. Not even a peg for them. If anyone has access to a Astral Strange set I'd appreciate one.

Wave 75 is all Toad.

The Lost Tribe from Predator 2 includes - Elder, Shaman, Warrior (which we've already gotten) Boar, Snake, Stalker, Lost, Guardian, and Scout. So that's 3 2-packs. Anna, Isabelle and Hanzo make 1 1/2 more 2-packs. Throw in Poncho and Lambert, the Tracker from Predators and his Hound and I can see the breakdown being something like this... Specialty Boar / Snake Lost / Hound Poncho / Anna Isabelle / Stalker TRU Hanzo / Tracker Scout / Hound Lambert / Guardian

An armybuilder?! I'm intrigued. Predator hounds perhaps? And I think you've run out of Dutch variants. Unless you get into different facial expressions.

Go on...

Looks like most everyone has received their gifts. I'm waiting on a couple more confirmations then we can put this one on the shelf until next year.

I'd love a set of 80's 'toon Turtles. I'd also love to get the 90's movie versions. I get that Nick is pushing their cartoon, and rightly so. But Playmates and Megabloks have put out "classic" style toys alongside the new Nick designs and it seems to be working well for them. If DST could do that too I'd be a happy camper.

Crap. I forgot about Fish and Zsasz. Those two with Lucius and Butch would be a great set. Jerome is a must have as well, both in Arkham stripes and a suit. We've got at least 2 more good box sets here, maybe three. I just hope they continue to sell well enough to justify making more.

Yeah that footage was just a mashup of the various films already released.

So, Box Set #5 - any ideas? I'm thinking Tetch, Butch, a Talon and new Nygma.

A new Happy makes me happy!

Looking forward to the 4th box set. I needs me some Donal Logue and Morena Baccarin.

Yeah, that's the only downside to going direct through them - you have to pay upfront. Their preorders usually go for a while but I'm not sure how long this one will be up.

Yeah comic shop exclusive just means those are the specialty wave exclusives as opposed to TRU exclusive. Luke, BBTS, etc will be able to get them.

That's part of the reason why I got a couple extra of the Blizzard sets (besides armybuilding the Mandroid). I wanted those ice effects for Iceman.

My stocking prize showed up today and it was LOADED with awesome! Here are a few quick cellphone pics I took here in my office. Apologies for the quality, had to do these on the DL else the boss might walk in and make me share with the whole department. Stocking contents Bonus goodies in the box Here's what was in the stocking: Candy Grumpy Cat stickers (fitting now that we have our own version of Grumpy Cat at home, more of a Whiney Cat though) 2 mini Batman figures (totally cool, loves me some Batman) Mini Hagrid and Fang (the wife and I have become big Potter fans this year) 3 different blind bags all with cool goodies in them Mario blind box Daredevil Hot Wheels car (LOVE the idea of a blind guy with his own car) Minimates - Squirrel Girl (going to the wife), Alice from the new series, NBX Sally, NBX Santa (needed for my custom Santa bash), NBX Unraveled Oogie Boogie, TMNT Space Mikey, Berserker Predator, 2x Shaman Predator (all good for customs) and the last GL I needed to complete my Minimate GL collection, Salaak! And the box had some cat toys which the cats LOVE and a DC Icons accessory pack with the Green Lantern parts, one of the squirrel GLs (B'dg I think, they both look alike) and some other great dio parts. HUGE thanks again to pk13 for doing this all year. It was a blast!
