RazorbladeKiss87 Posted December 13, 2024 Posted December 13, 2024 Oh yeah, that set was a big factor in me not collecting any others haha. I remember that we bought a box and after a few packs I'd lost all enthusiasm and traded the rest to my cousin for Magic cards.

twiztor Posted January 30 Posted January 30 preordered it the day it became available! good lookin out tho!! rumor has it that there was going to be a 3rd AoA wave, so hopefully Gambit is only the first of more coming soon 1
twiztor Posted February 19 Posted February 19 found my HOLY GRAIL of collecting. This is a copy of Wonder Comics #1, from May 1939. It features and first and only appearance of Wonder Man. Created by WIll Eisner, this character was promptly sued out of existance by National (DC) Comics, for being too similar to Superman. A Wonder Man story was prepped for Wonder Comics #2 but would never see print. This is a comic i've been searching for, for 15-20 years. i have seen FOUR come up for sale in that time, all of which were out of my price range. This was also the only non-slabbed copy, so i actually got to read this one too! i proceeded to encase it in a "slab it at home" kit from comicskin. Here you can see it displayed with a custom Wonder Man figure i had made a few years ago (thanks for the hookup OSJ!) 2 4

I recognised the figure straight away as OSJ hooked you up where to go. 1
twiztor Posted March 20 Posted March 20 my AoA Gambit fig showed up in the mail yesterday! sorry, no pic(s). now i'm feeling the pull again to track down a Storm fig that fits thematically (since they never released an AoA Storm, and TBH her outfit isn't that great in the storyline anyway). I will probably just break down and grab a DOFP Storm or something eventually. 2
The Natural Posted March 27 Posted March 27 There was a Batman: The Animated Series Kenner figures lot on eBay last year made up of nearly every figure and I forgot about it. Still haunting me.
Casey Posted March 27 Posted March 27 This reminds me that eventually I'll need to pull the trigger on a MAFEX Sensational Spider-Man.

I go on eBay every now and then to look for it along with other Batman: The Animated Series figures/Funko POP! Combat Belt Batman goes for a lot of money and you only see a few available. Two weeks ago I went on eBay by chance to find the bidding for one was closing in seven hours. I bid and I won! I got it for a great price and now it's the crown jewel of my Batman collection!

I didn't have to beat 15 bidders like I had Combat Belt Batman, just had to pay the set price. I have Batman/The Joker from Batman: The Animated Series by Kenner. I seek Batman: The Animated Series merchandise more than anything else as it's the best Batman ever. I got my holy grail Combat Belt Batman two years ago and I'm adding more of the original Kenner figures to my collection. I have: Combat Belt Batman. The Joker. The Phantasm. The Scarecrow. Catwoman. Poison Ivy. Mr. Freeze. I'm wanting to get The Riddler and Two-Face. Maybe Bane. Not fussed about Robin, Clayface, Man-Bat and Killer Croc. https://www.figurerealm.com/actionfigure?action=seriesitemlist&id=457&ssid=-1&series=batmananimatedseries https://toyzinger.com/en/dc-comics/checklist-batman-animated-series/ I liked The New Batman Adventures but don't like it as I do Batman: The Animated Series so I've never got anything of it.

I'd say 75-80% of the Kenner Batman figures particularly Batman: The Animated Series, Batman and Robin figures are missing their capes. 1
Casey Posted Friday at 02:58 PM Posted Friday at 02:58 PM A Power Rangers fan on BlueSky alerted everyone that the MMPR: The Movie Funko Pops had been restocked on their website so I waited a week, used my Disney+ Funko perk coupon, and got all six for like $80. Hell yeah. And Entertainment Earth has the CM Punk pipebomb Funko up for preorder so I grabbed that too. I’m still on the lookout for a deal on the old one he had when they first got the licensing deal with Funko, it regularly lists on eBay for hundreds of dollars. TLDR: I bought a shitload of Funko Pops for my birthday lmao 2
