I am interested in that wave SN... but right now I cant buy it.. no money. Im on a buying freeze until I can get some personal issues situated.

My ToysRUs got in the new Green Lantern figures. The 3 3/4" figures have what appears to be 5 points of articulation. FIVE. Seriously Mattel? Is this the best you could do in the year 2011? That terrible A-Team line and Tron legacy line of figures had almost double that! There are McDonalds toys with more joints in them!! How is this acceptable by today's standards? In 1993, when I was playing with my Jurassic Park figures, it was acceptable.

Maybe they spent all of their budget on digitizing Ryan Reynolds' glowing green abs instead of investing in a half decent toyline.

Anyway, sorry for the rant, just thought I'd share that. And hopefully you will think of this when you see these figures in the store.

Dude, I've seen these two, and the only thing that looks cool at all is the parallaz figure, which could be turned into a giant bioviper mutant. Everything else I've seen sucks.

I really wanted to collect some of the DC infinite heroes line. Same issue....same articulation as 1985. Its sad when you see them next to the Marvel line.

Yeah, and I suppose some of the DC animated universe figures were designed like that to sort of fit in with the rest of the 90s figures, but if you're going to release a new line of movie-accurate related product, you could at least make them look good!

Also, to be fair- I looked at the figures again last week and it seems like I missed the camouflaged waist joint on the human figures, so that's a whopping 6 joints, not 5..

I got my GIJCC exclusive bagged Dial-Tone on Saturday, did anyone else get theirs as well? Check your mailboxes this week.

He appears to be identical in every way to my carded version, at least I couldn't spot any noticeable difference.

Got mine on Sat also, no differences other than one came in a little baggie and one came carded and cost a heck of a lot more.

I found one in a Marshalls, good luck, mines been opened and put on active duty, in the toy box.

damn. If anyone sees one, grab it for me. I need one badly for a customer. I had four and as I was working out a trade, I sold all four of them. Didn't get the email until it was too late.
