Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

The other thread hit critical mass, so I thought I'd start a new one. For those unfamiliar, here is where we post about toys. Glorious toys.
I just managed to pick up a Galactus Mugg, which is pretty fucking sweet. Here's a checklist, since everyone's into these damn things:

I say "I/anjin" because I bought it so he couldn't because I'm a dick
My comic places don't even carry the Mattel line. They carry DC Direct stuff, an then Marvel Legends stuff.
I think I might venture to a Mattel store nearby.
Well you've got this:
Expensive though.
There's also this Marvel Legends action figure
Also, can anyone tell me why there are red variants of the above statue and the one I just mentioned? Has Iron Fist worn a red costume, at some point?

'At one time, right before Power Man & Iron Fist was cancelled, IF was dying of radiation poisoning. So they went to K'un L'un to get him cured. He was replaced by a plant person (a H'ylthri if you want to get technical), and it wore this costume. It was killed by a boy who transformed into "Captain Hero (too long a story to get into; though the funny part is at the time, Power Man was suspected)." So you have the evil imposter Iron Fist!'
It was around the time of Secret Wars II, apparently.
It is like this everywhere. With Marvel Legends now officially at double the price they started at, more and more people are flocking to the cheaper and superior-in-quality DCUC figures. Combine that with Mattel's generally crappy distribution and complete lack of understanding in the action figure market these days, and you've got a perfect storm for scalpers. There are stores around here with pegs for the DC line that i have literally not seen get a single figure since the line started.
I've managed to score the first three waves so far with a TON of hunting, with the exception of Aquaman and Harley Quinn, which i'm pretty sure were both released directly to ebay.

Every month, I cross my fingers as I flip through Previews
Hoping for a Marvel Select Iron Fist to go with my Moon Knight and eventually Ghost Rider
Hope you enjoy a long wait then. We've still got Iron Man, new Captain America, Captain Marvel and Anti-Venom coming before anything else. The delay didn't help either, it was 16 months between the Skrull/Brood two-pack and Thor. Hopefully things will pick up again, but unless Iron Fist has a big part to play in a crossover or another medium, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Still, the ML one isn't that bad, I think.
There's the Bowen Designs one that was previously mentioned. Let me know if they screw up the hotlink.
Edit: I'm pretty sure the Iron Fist effect is photoshopped in. I saw this statue just yesterday and it didn't have the glowing hand.
Edit: Ah, it has switchable hands.

Awesome! I don't like the mask as much as I like the traditional Kerberos mask, but it looks really damn cool.
Too lazy to take better pics. I have to admit to being a little disappointed in HT Bats; he's got a paunch that bothers the fuck out of me, and is pretty fragile (each gauntlet lost one spike, which needed to be reglued in, and some of the hands are pretty difficult to get on the pegs). I do like how poseable he is even with the rubber suit, though.
I need another Detolf pretty badly, but eh ... it won't be for a while. So I have a crowded Detolf for now.
If I had to choose one, I'd probably still stick with Takara Bats, though.
man, that shit is money.

but seriously, how else would you want them sculpted?
I dig this figure, good and clean looking sculpt.
403 forbidden
That is an excellently crafted figure, but it really exposes the awfulness of that costume design in 3 dimensions.
My bad.
It's The Rhino figure from the new series of Spectacular Spider-Man toys.
a.) mad
b.) divinely inspired?
