I have to admit that Buzz-Off has been flying completely under my radar. I’ve barely thought about him what with everything else that’s been going on lately. Still, he looks pretty neat, and goofy name aside, he was always one of my favorite MOTU figures. This is definitely a case where the 200X figure is superior (cue lamenting DMW comment), but I’m still looking forward to the MOTUC version. (more…)

Remember how Poe stopped collecting DCUC? Well, I always made the exception that I’d continue to collect Bat-characters, and therefore I’m pretty damned excited about Wave 16. I’ve already pre-ordered the wave (gotta get that Bane, and Jonah Hex has so much original sculpting I’ll probably hang on to him–but Mercury will be hitting the trade list).
Mattel released carded pics of the wave on their Facebook page, and I’ve posted them after the jump. (more…)
Batman’s latest costume
Before we go any further, let me clarify: this is a rumor. I think it’s much too early to begin venting one’s spleen as if this were fact. I want no aneurysms as a result of my posting this, got it? (more…)
I was digging out some of the DCUC and Movie Masters figures the other day and found several of them–particularly Deathstroke, Nightwing and Movie Masters Batman Begins Batman–were covered with that oily, misty substance. There was a lot of discussion of this after DCUC Wave 3–apparently the worst offender for this issue–and in doing some research, I came across this informative Fwoosh post by user BigGuido. (more…)

I just have to ask–who is having trouble finding a regular Superman? I don’t think this troll understands how this works.
I guess he may have returned the package after buying it (or swapped the figure at the store), so he got the Superman for free, which is trollish, but on the other hand, he may have paid for the Cyborg Superman…so…huh. I don’t know how mad am I about this. Kinda, for sure. But not as much as usual.

1.) You recently announced that the Winston w/ Slime Blower was delayed. Is there any chance the delay is because you’re adding the “football pads” part of his outfit?
He is delayed to make him more accurate to the film. He will have the full vest and pads when released. (more…)

1.) FakeEyes 22 asks: Any idea if/when we’ll see a new DCUC All-Star Assortment and are there plans to include Hawkgirl? She’s ideal as the first release was a tough find and she was heavily featured in the JLA/JLU series.
All-Star figures will continue to ship all year, with at least one All-Star in each case pack. No plans right now for Hawkgirl as a single, but she will be back in a Wal-Mart two-pack later this year! (more…)
