karamazov80 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 So, is this DC's answer to the Mighty Muggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbpanizzi Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) No those are a series they had planned already they did a batman first. They are more like the vinyl toys that are becoming more popular now. Marvel did a few also called subcast from sideshow.

karamazov80 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hmm, I thought they were a bit too pricey, but still trying to tap into the "urban collector" market or whatever. I've seen some of those Marvel ones before, but forgot about them. DC should really exploit the popularity of the Muggs by doing their own thinly veiled knock-offs, in my opinion. I saw little mini-WWE Muggs-type figures at Wal-Mart the other day. They seemed to be about 3 inches tall or so, but costed $10 each!

Dio Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 If you want to get into that market, collect Kidrobot D: Everything is super limited and expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsomedevil Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I FINALLY tracked down a "topless" Darth Maul and a Darth Revan! Unfortunately the boxes look like they've taken a beating. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battlecat Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks for the link MiniFiend, that Wicket looks wicked, but the red guard I wish had legs instead of the dress thing... so I guess that wave 8 Are-Jay got, with Teebo etc, is wave 9 or something?

Twisted Two-Face Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Wow. They really are going all-out for these! qui-gon looks great, and the likeness is spot-on; I love that bone-meat thing that Wampa has; The Guards are okay...;I NEED WICKETS!! Seriously, this may be the first time i have an Are-Jay experience. I need a Wicket army; they're so cute with those eyes and little spears...

battlecat Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Isn't that part of the Target exclusive wave? I hope not, since we have no such store north of the border, but I can always eBay it. In that other thread I thought people were just saying the Shock Trooper was a Target exclusive, and the rest were a regular wave, but I don't know...

Trekker 42 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 WAMPA!!!! Subtract Qui Gon, and this is my favorite wave yet. Why the Qui-Gon hate? He was one of the coolest characters in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 You know, I just had a thought. If they do Darth Malak, he would make a great Trap Jaw custom if they do his jaw. I want more KOTOR!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in-person views can tell, i guess. So far i'm buying her anyway, because i'm probably this boards biggst Jean Grey fan EVER. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I love how the box art covers up her facial expression. Maybe it will help sell the figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
