“I don’t know what to name this one, but in the Toys R Us in Emeryville, CA, there were three Wolverine/She-Hulk 2-packs, and all three had the She-Hulk removed.
…Somebody really likes She-Hulk.”N
Had a lot going on lately behind the scenes, but believe it or not I will be slowly getting back into the swing of things – particularly because, for the first time in two years, I will be going to Toy Fair next month.
In the meantime, in case you missed it last week, Topless Robot posted another list of mine:
The Ten Most Bizarre McFarlane Figures of All Time
This list reminded me how frigging bizarre some of McFarlane’s stuff was. The Tormentor especially – what was the thought process there? What was with Todd’s “one giant boot” fetish? That kind of creeps me out.
Hey folks, Corey from DASH here again. We’ve always been a little formal with our communication in the past, but I decided it’s time to “get real” and let you know there are actually real people and people who care about action figures behind our site. I’ve finally got a platform to talk toys to my heart’s content, and that’s what we’re updating you on today.
Things haven’t always been perfect at Collector-ActionFigures, but I genuinely think we already have the internet’s best action figure values, the world’s biggest action figure catalog, and a great place to buy action figures. And now we’ve added something to bring it all together. We call it DASH Flash, and it’s your brand new platform for action figure reviews, news, previews, articles, features, and pretty much anything else I can think about writing.
So visit DASH Flash, and then please let me know what you think about everything. Collector-ActionFigures is built for the community, and this is your new blog as much or more than it is mine. We want to see your vision for it, want to hear your ideas, and want to exceed your expectations in every way. That’s my goal anyway. I’ve done this in the past, but this is my newest baby, and the opportunities for it are far greater than ever before.
If you could take a minute to leave a comment right here with your thoughts or desires, I’ll be reading. Leave a comment on any of the current DASH Flash articles and I’ll be watching (creepy, right?). Even feel free to send me an email at Corey@Collector-ActionFigures.com and I’ll take your suggestions to heart.
This is a great time for Collector-ActionFigures, and I want you to be a big part of it every step of the way.
So here’s what’s on the menu today:
Just a reminder, subscribers only have Early Access to items from the same line (i.e., MOTUC subscribers don’t have early access to Rorschach).
It should also be noted that the “My Subscriptions” function is finally active, albeit it still appears to have some problems according to early reports. I had to use it myself – despite making a new credit card my default credit card for Mattycollector, I still needed to change the card specifically used for my subscription.

“Saw these at Toys R Us and for a split second thought there was a variant speeder bike. Lol. I guess someone wanted to army build some biker scouts?”
This is what Topless Robot would call an Impressive Act of Nerdery. It’s the entire movie, folks. Yes, one could make negative comments about why anyone would do this and whether it’s a waste of time, but it looks to me like way too much fun was had here to care about that. I admire the commitment and the DIY cleverness.
Thanks to PrfktTear for the tip!
