Some cool stuff there.

Cyber Units - Intrigued, but I'm not liking that it's part of the Spawn line.

S29 - All over it.

Simpsons - May get the couch set, probably not the other one. Will still be interesting to see though.

W&G - Is this a second 6-inch assortment, or is the first line pushed back?

Napoleon Dynamite - Can't decide if I want to get into this line or not.

Dracula Boxed Set - Mine in a second.

Elvis - Jailhouse Rock for me, Peeker will be excited about Aloha.

Billy Idol - I'll probably get it.

Dragons - Mine.

Military 3 - Mine.

I can't wait to see these new spawn characters.

If the board was up, you'd see that I already called "Disciple" before anyone had even mentioned the comic. [img]wink.gif[/img]

WTF is a LED ZEP 3D album cover supposed to mean?
October 27th, 2005, 12:45 AM
-megalithanod

SnB - I figure it is going to be like what they did for Kiss Love Gun and Oxxy Bark at the Moon - take the cover artwork and turn it into a 3D sculpture

I really hope that the W&G listed isn't the first wave pushed back...I really do

Is the McFarlane's Cyber units an in-house line seperate from spawn or is it like Nitro Riders-a spawn line that deosn't really represent spaen at all?

-megalithanod

Jon had alluded to a third in house line from McFarlane along the lines of Military and Dragons - I wonder with the 001 after the end of each one if it was just listed incorrectly (big jump I know, but I can hope), and it is along the lines of the "Clan" designations of the dragons line

... obviously, with a movie called "Robots" out, they didn't want any cross brand confusion... so they're calling them "Cyber Units". [img]wink.gif[/img]

Sounds like some good stuff coming down....and if I hear from one person that MF doesnt make enough diverse stuff, I'm gonna whack them upside the head!

Cool news there!

Dragons 2 & 3 a month apart! [img]eek.gif[/img] My poor wallet!

The Cyber Units have my attention. Maybe this will be one added to the short list.....

I pretty much come to the point where Spawn isn't doing it for me collecting wise anymore, and the majority of the other lines I collect non-McFarlane have reached a point where I am just not seeing anything really catching my attention.

I have pretty much got it down to the music figures I listen(ed) to, Dragons and single figure here or there with Spider-man/ML if they pull something out of the classic era for me.

That is only the repainted Eternal Duluxe set - not the whole line. The second line is due out the end of this year. So more than a couple of month at least [img]wink.gif[/img]

Looking not too bad. Series 29 looks like it could be very interesting. I wonder if the 3" Spawn figs are going to have the same articulation as the originals? Military 3 looks very promising. Wonder if Redeployed 2 will be R3 versions of series 2, or series 2 & 3 combined?

Is it me or are they just waiting for existing players to switch teams so they can do repaints and offer them as a new NHL series?

The only hockey figure on my list is Don Cherry. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

SOme more info on items in the list - atleast for the Wallace and Grommit figures.

Jon posted this over in a thread on the white board:

Quote:

There does indeed need to be some clarification here.

Our first wave of Wallace & Gromit figures will be in store sometime in early November (in the next couple of weeks or so).

The figures mentioned in yesterday's NEWS story simply represent a re-release of these same figures early next year to coincide with the DVD release.

No Conan 3? I need my Conan fix.
October 27th, 2005, 05:45 PM
-megalithanod

Atleast not for the first half of the year.

Although I wonder if a Conan 3 is really giong to happen. They always say they will do lines unless they stop selling well. Iron Maiden figures was a casuality of that, and the second wave didn't do so good, especially since Zenobia was automatically censored for all shipments and not just a Mass market line.

I wouldn't be surprised if Conan 2 was the last

I have no inside information - I just am going by the amount of the line that is still out there on the pegs sitting even at discount.

Same thing happened with the Anime and Game based lines and where are they? Sad to think on it, but like I said - I wouldn't be surprised.
October 27th, 2005, 06:13 PM
KillerKanuck

I hear ya. I don't like it, but it makes sense.
Just one more series would make me happy - actually, just one more box set would make me happy - an armoured Conan on horseback, with enough articulation that he could either hold the greatsword or be drawing a bow.
October 27th, 2005, 07:14 PM
Third

The poses are what's killing the line IMO. I mean both from series one were weak and then series 2 has him jumping with a pole up his ass and another of him sitting half asleep on a throne.
