There's gonna be an X-Men Movie Twin Pack Asst. 2 which will include 8 brand new, carded action figure twin packs: 3x Kitty Pride and Logan, 3x Rogue and Bobby Drake (Ice Man), 2x Storm and Pyro. These are listed to start shipping this month.
So there'll be a Kitty, Bobby, and St. John figure so all of us will think they're cool! I already do!!

Hmmm...shipping this month in the same way the Evolution figures were supposed to ship in November? We may see them by the sequal if it's the same company.
http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/mad.gif Grr..I'm still miffed about those Evo figures. I've checked everywhere here, Toys 'r' Us, KayBee Toys, F.A.O. Schwartz...nobody has 'em. Not even the comic shops. GRRRR!!! eBay is the only avenue I have left...grrrr... http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/mad.gif
Did you get those ones on eBay, Knighty?
Not yet, Slarti...I'm still holdin' out for one around here somewhere...hopefully somseday they'll ACTUALLY BE RELEASED IN STORES. I think the people on Ebay all bought cases from somewhere and are breaking them up for a profit. And as much as I want a Nightkiddo, I'm just not willing to pay $16 for a $7 figure that should only cost $5. Of course, I'm a cheap little stingy bastard who still thinks that the price of He-Men in the 80s should stand today...especially if the figures are still of about that same quality, which the better part of Toy Biz's are. I'm willing to pay $8 for a McFarlane figure because they hire people who CAN ACTUALLY SCULPT!!!! I'm somewhat of an Action figure connoisseur, I guess...I really like them, and my stomach will agree that I spend too much (food) money on them. I think Toy Biz should stop marketing on name power and character recognition only, and should start putting some effort into their product...maybe start a tradition of quality that has never been present, ever since Secret Wars...and wasn't that like '86??
okay...enough ranting and grumbling, especillay since I don't think any of you are as into toys as I am.

I'm a big toy freak. I finally got my Nightkiddo about a week ago after 2 weeks of searching. I dont wanna open him cuz he was such'a hard find but man.. he's just screaming to be played with. Usually I only keep the cool figs in the packages unless I have an extra. I wanna get a 3rd Light-Up 'Crawler so's I can take him out of the package.. he looks so friggin' cool. I wanna see if he can go down in a pounce pose, ya know.. all hunched down and stuff. Same w/ Nightkiddo. But I think Kid's tail would get in the way. And his gloves are like, green. What's up w/ that?

Grrr...you got a Nightkiddo! You lucky Grrl. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
Hey, I got a lil' car in me Cheerios...VROOM!!! Hehe...I'm easily amused.
Ya notice it's the girls that are fessing up to being toy collectors? Yup, me too. I collect Star Wars figures. Old ones. Yessirree. No comics figures, but I'm thinking about accumilating some NC's. Starting with the elusive NIGHTKIDDO. So rare, it is never seen in the wild.
KC, I saw those Spidey figures at the comic shop this week. They are really cool! I'd recommend them to any Webhead or toy collector.

Hey, KC, thanks for the info! You can believe that if I see a Kitty figure, I'll buy it on the spot. I have a few figures too. I bought the Kitty figure they made a while back b/c it was the only figure of her anyone had produced. Yeah, it was too expensive, but I'm a devoted fan. I also bought the Nightcrawler figure (the old one with suction cups) on e-bay. The find I'm most proud of is my Magik figure. I found her at Kay-Bee for less than $2!! She even came with Lockheed!! (He's worth the $2 by himself!) I haven't taken Magik out of her box, but Kurt stays out of his. He's actually in my car now! I've taken Kit out of her plastic too but put her back so she won't get messed up. I figure the only reason for not taking them out is if you want them to be worth money in the future. Since, I'm never going to sell the figures anyway, I take them out and play like a 5-year-old!
I looked in Kay-Bee for Nightkiddo. I didn't see him but did see a big Evo Wolverine and motorcycle set. Maybe that means they'll be getting more Evo toys. If I see more than one Nightkiddo fig, I'll pick it up for one of you who can't find one. We can work out a reimbursement details or whatever later!
Hey Grrlwndr, I got a Nightkiddo too. He doesn't bend much at the hips, so he can't crouch. but he's still very cool. I like to pose him on my window sill and just study him. The paint on the gloves is glow-in-the-dark. I'm not really into action figures. When my brother saw it, he looked at me like I was crazy. But this is such a cool and sexy little doll I just had to have one. Come to think of it, maybe I'm am crazy to think of a little plastic doll as sexy.

Gargoyles? I've never seen any of those at your house. Are you trying to hide something? http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif

This is screaming for a comment but I can't think of anything.
My action figures are the same as my comics. Refugees from the bargain bin. The only exceptions are the Toad from the X-Men movie that Biscuit gave me, the Storm that a different friend gave me and the Captain America I found at the park. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif Y'know, on the box the Toad figure came in, it says he's supposed to have "amazing jumping abilities" and it goes on to explain how you bend his knees and ankles then, "let go and watch him hop!" Well, I don't know if my entire family is just completely incompetent as far as set up goes, but we spent an entertaining evening setting him up on the table, bending his knees and placing his feet flat, letting him go and watching him twitch and fall on his back...

I'm sure if I ever get one, I'll think he's hot too. *pats Spat's hand* It's alright.

I found a Nightkiddo at Toys R Us about three weeks ago. He was the only one they had, but they had a ton of all the other characters. I snatched Nighty up and brought his home. The little missile on the set is really fun, too.

Glow in the dark?! Keen-o-rific!
Oh! Nightkiddo story! I work at Taco Bell, big manager-type gal, and there's this lady who's kinda.. well.. ditsy who comes through the driv-thru a lot and she works at TRU. She always orders the same thing and her order popped up on the screen one night and I made a comment outloud that I'd buy her dinner's for a month if she'd snag me a Nightcrawler figure. And she called me up Saturday night sayin' she was on the look out for me and when the new shipment comes in this week, she'd get me another Nightkiddo! Which.. is kinda cool but.. I almost feel bad about havin' someone on the inside hoarding figures for me.
And what's this about figures for the students in the movie? No way. Man, first one's on my list are St. John and Bobby. Woo hoo!

Re: still not being able to find a Nightkiddo action figure...

BAMF!
I'm in the same boat, BAMF! I was out of town last night and looked at Kay-Bee and Toys 'R Us to no avail. I saw Evo Toad and 'Tooth at TRU but no Nighty. I'm going to try to check the TRU closer to where I live this week and ask when they're getting a shipment in. I can just see us, all in our respective parts of the world, hunting down NK figures! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
BTW, where are the movie figures supposed to be offered? Video stores? Toy stores?

Hehe...this screams for a comment too, Fasheem. Sounds like something I'd do. VROOOM!!
http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
Grrl, now I know where all the Nightkiddos are! I knew there was something fishy about Taco Bell. They've got an underground Nightkiddo laundering operation. Hey...psst...I'll give ya a Nacho Bellgrande and three light-up Storm backpack clips for a Nightkiddo...
http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif
I feel your pain, Bamfie... http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/frown.gif
~ever searching for her Nightkiddo in glowing plastic...~
Today I went back to the store where I found mine. They only had Cyclops and Sabertooth. Guess nobody likes them.
heh heh
If I see any more Nightkiddo toys I'll buy 'em and let people know.

Danke, BLUEELFEARS!
WHISK, SLARTI the empathy is appreciated! At least I'm not suffering alone. (ie: it's nice to have buds who understand!)
BAMF!
I confess to being a toy freak.
Although, i've slowed down over the years.
I REALLY want a Nightkiddo figure! Every week i check the local Toys R Us's and Kaybee's.
The only Evolution toys i've seen so far are the remote controlled Sabretooth and Wolverine Motorcycles...
