...I will personally fuck anyone who scores a Thor and is willing to sell him to me (at cost).
That may not sound promising, but believe me, a personal fucking by DA is an experience you will always cherish and never forget...thanks to the permanent incontinence.

If you look in the lower left corner of the back of the card, you should be able to see a letter stamped/embossed into the cardboard. The letter is not printed, so you may have to wiggle the card around until the light catches the embossing just right. Compare the letter to the codes listed below to learn which character is inside the mystery packaging:
The codes for Figure Factory Series 1 are:
A. Unmasked Spider-Man
B. Doc Ock with Lab Coat
C. Grey Hulk
D. Unmasked Wolvie
E. Unmasked Venom
F. Captain America
G. Red Daredevil
H. Yellow Daredevil
I. Human Torch (regular)
K. Unmasked Human Torch
L. Storm (white)
M. Storm (Mohawk, black)
The codes for Figure Factory Series 2 are:
A. Unmasked Dr. Doom
B. Ghost Rider
C. Mr. Fantastic
D. Spider-Man (half-masked)
E. Blade with disintegrating zombie
F. Cyclops
G. Nightcrawler with sword
H. Phoenix
I. Rhino
J. Thor
K. Namor

And DA....the odds of you being nearby my butt.....let's just say.....FAT CHANCE !!!
[img]tongue.gif[/img]
Well, I got a chance to test out the code list over the weekend, and it appears to be accurate. I picked up a Series 2C and a Series 2I. The C did have a Mr. Fantastic w/ regular hands and the I did have a Rhino, ironically enough with only one hand. [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
Leave it to me to get a mystery figure with missing parts.
Oh well, I'll be calling Toybiz today to see how I can get it replaced, hopefully it won't be too hard...
I also now own:
Ghost Rider
Iron Man
Thing
Dr. Doom
Mr. Fantastic
Nightcrawler
and a one armed Rhino
I had also purchases a Dr. Octopus, but he had one of the holes for his tentalces missing so I returned it to the store.
Appreantly quality control is a little lacking on these guys... [img]confused.gif[/img]
If I could find any of the damn things.. They used to have them at walmart here and poof, they're gone.
The only places here that would remotely sell them would be wally world and/or toysrus, and both places won't probably have any.. It may end up being I get some next time we go to Universal, but god knows when that is.
Well at first they were TRU exclusives (I believe), then Wal-MArt starting carrying. However, it appears Wal-Mart has dropped them in favor of Marvel Showdown (which was also a TRU exclusive). Since then both Target and K-Mart have begun selling them. They're starting to show up more than before, but it's still a task to really find them...
Damn, just heard back from Toybiz and it looks like I'm stuck with a one armed Rhino.
They do not carry replacement parts for the Figure Factory toys, which makes absolutely no sense to me, if any toy line ever needed replacement parts it would be one like this...
They suggested I return it to the store and get a new one, which wouldn't be so bad if this wasn't a mystery figure and there were any still left on the pegs here [img]mad.gif[/img] -or- I can send it to them and they'll send me a new figure, however they just send one at random. I could send them a Rhino and get back a Spider-Man [img]eek.gif[/img]
Hopefully during my toy hunts I'll come across another Rhino, but it seems rather unlikely... [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
A few days into collecting the line and I'm already disappointed. [img]frown.gif[/img]
On a side note, Doc Ock is the hardest figure to put together and it doesn't look so great... unless you're a hardcore Doc Ock fan, I would totally pass on this one.... [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img]
The only ones I'd be interested in are Ghost Rider, Wolverine, Venom (unmasked on either of those last two), cyclops, blade, or phoenix and S1 Spiderman.
Well Cyclops and Ghost Rider are all over the place so those shouldn't be too hard to get, Blade is a little harder, why I don't know, but he is in Series 2 so the chances are good at finding one. As for the S1 figures, those are harder to come by, and both Wolvie and Venom were popular, which makes them even harder to get. Phoenix will be hard, but only because all the mystery figures are bought up by scalpers and the like to sell on e-bay, you just need to score some mystery figs and look for the "H".
Should I come across any of the harder to find one during my hunts, I'll let you know.
