GH has a little report up on the Q and A, more to come later hopefully.  Some interesting bits though...."Four waves of figures will transition us between the end of OTC and the beginning of Episode III. A Naboo Wave  will bring us Padme Celebration and Handmaiden Rabe from The Phantom Menace. A Cantina Wave will bring us Feltipern Trevagg (the Goatal), Dannik Jerriko, and Myo (the Cyclops) from A New Hope. A Coruscant Wave will bring us Sly Moore, Pablo Jill, and Wookie Senator Yarua. Finally, there will be a Sneak Preview Wave."

Also news on Animated Clone Wars, Galactic Heroes, Unleashed...check it all out HERE

TNI has now added to their coverage with pictures of 2-ups of Black Panther and Bullseye.  Two more much requested figures coming down the pipe at some point!  Cool.  Sounds like this will be it for new stuff from ML for the weekend, at least according to JayC over at the TNI forums.

Black Panther

Bullseye

There are more pics in their main coverage page.

Maybe not exactly a Super Hero/Comic Book movie, but I thought I'd post it here anyways.  It sounds like the Transformers movie is a definite go, with Steven Spielberg on board to Executive Produce!

I'm getting awfully tempted by these as well, and it sounds like they're "wee" so they wouldn't take up a whole heck of a lot of room to display either (which is a major + with me).  I guess it depends how difficult they are going to be to collect...where they will be available, etc.  I always wanted to get into GG's mini-bust line, but can't really afford it, so this might be a nice alternative.  I'm going to have to go check out some of the pics from the show and see what they all look like.

Middle Earth / Re: LOTR Trilogy Figures

Yeah, it has been quite slow around here for awhile too Brent.  I saw the KOTD/Merry/Morgul Lord come and go a few times, but the pegs have been somewhat bare other than that.  The two Wal-Marts in town have had zero figs for about a month now (one doesn't even have a space for LOTR, for some strange reason).  Target usually have some figures, mostly consisting of King Aragorn, Eomer, 8" Treebeard, and the occasional Ringwraith.  TRU is stocked FULL of Gollums, in the old packaging, and the occasional trilogy Frodo repack.  Not much going on in that area of the action figure aisle lately though, which is strange, because I agree with you Brent...those things sell, and sell quickly around here.

The TRU here in town received the VOTC shipment, which I came across yesterday.  I'm still working on the Mrs. to get two sets of all of these, but for now I settled on picking up another Han.  I finally have my first VOTC figure opened up now  :P.  Getting a closer inspection, this is really one amazing figure.

Is it just me or is TB already heading into Hasbro territory?  Bilbo transfixed?  That had less screen time than B'Omarr Monk.  Interesting and important point in the movie, but yikes.

I kind of felt the same way when I saw that Brent, seems like they are running out of ideas.  Then again, I know there are some people that really like each and every version of each and every character, and that's cool too.  They do all look very well done, I'll say that.  I haven't bought much in this line for a little while either, and probably won't get a whole lot more.  Waiting out for the SP Aragorn and Frodo, then I'll probably try to pick up a Sam and the Merry in Armor and be done with it....I think. :)

A few new LOTR figures, pictures courtesy Action-Figure.com.  Figures included are Bilbo (transfixed), "ring possessed" Galadriel, and a 2-up of the Pellenor Fields Orc (i don't remember his name, sorry).  They look nice, but I guess nothing that I'm overly interested in.  Then again, I'm not as big collecting this line as many others either ;)

I've been looking forward to this Q and A session, and hope that we do get some news out of it.  When it was first mentioned on StarWars.com, they said "and there might be a surprise or two".  I hope that actually means something.  I would like to hear if they have any future plans for VOTC, or VOTC style figures.  I'd also like to hear what the post-OTC plans are, what we can expect for late 2004 and the first part of 2005.  I just hope we get some tidbits here and there, and not just "we've looked at this, it is a possibility" or "no comment" type of answers.  Its toys guys, not national security, just let us know  ;).  Anyways, I hope we see a full report somewhere on the net here in a couple of hours.

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: OTC Carry Cases?
« on: July 23, 2004, 09:55 AM »
I will probably pick at least one of these up as well.  I always wanted one as a kid, but never had one (probably one of the few, I know).  I had the Falcon and the Chewie Bandolier that I used to haul my figures/weapons around.  I know I often read/hear that the Vader case was a dime a dozen in the vintage days, and it didn't even hold the figures all that well, but for some reason I just thought it was cool.  Anyways, I'll probably try to pick the Vader one up for sure, maybe both, we'll see.

I was disappointed in the articulation on this figure as well.  I would have been happy with just articulated knees added in though.  I will admit, looking through some of the coverage pictures, the sculpt looks very, very good.  Too bad it wasn't a little better articulated though.

It looks like Action-Figure.com has some more pics up of Doctor Strange.  It also mentions that the rest of series 9 won't be announced until Toy Fair of 2005.  He was also told (by Jesse Falcon) that the line will see a "revamp" at that time as well.  I wonder what that means.  Anyways, here's the article and PICS

Edit:  A few more pictures available here, of series 7 and 8.  You can see the Mohawk Storm variant, as well as what looks like modified tentacles for Doc Ock.  That figure looks great.  Too bad these are so far off, Series 6 hasn't even been showing up yet :).  Here's the Other Pics

Pictures still trickling in....but I also spy Sandman!  This is one figure I've been hoping they would make.  Woo hoo.
