Saw Abomination and Grey Hulk yesterday. And I was definitely disappointed with the size of both figures.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series - 2013 Wave 1
« on: September 20, 2013, 04:39 PM »
I think WalMart's decision to not pick up the 6" line has the potential to be really damaging to Hasbro/Star Wars. They are the number 1 toy retailer in the country. But I think that WalMart's still got a bad taste in their mouth from the whole Discover the Force line of 2012. And I think they may play hardball with Hasbro at least until Episode VII comes out.

Agreed. Although it looks like a lot of companies are being very conservative when it comes to licensed product lines. A full range of action figures can be a risky proposition from a financial standpoint.
Still, I'd be very happy if a company like NECA got their hands on this license. They've shown that they can do some amazing work.

It's gotta be a joke because HOLY GOD the MASS GEEK SUICIDES!
Rumor has it that he's doing a sketch for Funny or Die. I'm thinking that script is more than likely related to that.

Somebody just seems obsessed with seeking negative attention, don't you think?

I understand the Igor armor is coming at some point. I haven't seen it in a store yet, though.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Toys R Us Vintage Bigg's X-Wing Fighter
« on: September 9, 2013, 12:51 PM »
I finally saw the Biggs X-Wing in a store this morning. The box looks really sharp. But the $59.99 price tag? Maybe it's a psychological barrier, but the box seemed a little small for that price.

I'm thinking it's probably going to last through 2014. We'll probably have the 3 waves in 2013, and perhaps 6 waves in 2014. After that we'll probably see a preview series for the Episode VII line in early 2015, followed by the full-blown launch of that line in Spring '15.

It looks like a new wave of IM3 Assemblers is making the rounds. And some of the armors look like those from the end sequence of IM3. And I also saw a TRU exclusive 2-pack today that includes a couple of suits of armor that are also in that end sequence.
