I definitely regret not simply buying a case back then. :\

Kubricks / Re: 2009 Medicom Collectors Box Set

I think the general belief is that he's a typo version of R2-B1:
* http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/R2-B1
There are an understandably huge number of R2 units, so it's possible that that's wrong. But it would be a pretty logical conclusion to draw.

Got my box from NSC: no chases. I love that the Landspeeder is to scale-ish.

I'm going to be very tempted by the Galactus, but at the same time I think I like the scale of the 18" Marvel Legends Galactus more.
I *love* the pics of the MiniMate Galactus though - that's really great design.
EDIT: I take that back: upon further review, I found that that's a statue, not a figure. That sucks. =\

I've been building up a pretty full list of Kubricks, and I've decided to make it available on the web for reference/correction:
* http://zachd.com/kubricks.html
Right now, it's a text-only list organized by line. I'm *thinking* about adding in links to pictures, but that will obviously take a loooong time. I had been trying to figure out what Kubricks were available at what point, and accidentally started building up this list in order to have an English-language list.
If this helps people, awesome. If you want to help out, I'd appreciate it. Generally stuff that I know I don't know is marked with a '?'.

Yeah, the 'classic' Daredevil and the Punisher in Trench Coat make the Spidey pack fairly tempting. I see we've got most of the same Marvel figs, except that you've got Scarlet Spidey and Morph too. I must admit that the suction cups with the Spideys were a nice touch - I like attaching them to things around my office. And I'm jealous of the Batman movie collection with the missile-firing penguin hidden in the background. I've got a crush on that, and that's my next purchase when the price heads down.
Where's the Supergirl/Superman from? I don't think I've ever seen that nor heard of it (I've been building a checklist)... a little retro, but nice.
Pics of the FF Movie Thing and Invisible Woman:
(1st pick a simple line-up with Sugar Pon, 2nd pic w/ Marvel Legends Galactus wielding Silver Surfer and Sugar Pon's oddly in scale gun.)
I've been contemplating getting the movie Mr. Fantastic for the darker/matching suit, but I don't like the mostly-human Torch as much.

Other Toy Lines / Re: Micronauts

FWIW, the Japanese Microman releases in the past couple years (2003-04?) were pretty incredible. I've got the transforming water bottle(?), and have been lusting after the transforming Playstation 2 base set for a while now. It's definitely not what most American Micronauts fans are used to, but it does nicely tie back in the Micronauts/Transformers connection.

The box sets also used alternate colors for the characters that to me just didn't look right. I liked the X-Men box set a little better (even with the glossy purple Magnus), but the sheen on the Batman figures just was not appealing to me.
Gregorbian: The Halo 2 Kubrick was an exclusive/hard to get, which is why it's so high. They're slowly dropping down in price some (used to be about $200, I got mine at ~$45). They're very cool - I'd be tempted to army-build if they were cheaper.
The first shot is obviously just on the shelf, the second a close-up so you can see the body better. The Gingerbread Man is holding his alternate gun.
EDIT: Even better pics of the Halo 2 Kubrick.

Congrats, Matt! That's sad about the helmet, though... I liked the idea of them being in active disguise.
The idea of vehicles is pretty great. I really like my lightcycles, the "Great Escape" motorcycle and the various bikes are great. I think I'd buy any good "riding" vehicle or anything that showed them off. The Special Forces van is kind of cool, but ... it wouldn't be nearly as cool as a landspeeder (where you could seem them hanging out) or even (fond wish) one of the basic ships like the A or X Wings.
There's several Indy's (and Master Chiefs and 3 Beakers...?) on eBay right now, FWIW. I might try to pick up one of these at last.
Has anybody compiled a full list of *all* the Kubricks out there? I've actually made a fairly complete list of what I've seen to date, but I'm curious as to whether there's any other public lists that I should check out and try to merge with before putting this on the web. (No pictures at this point, mind you.)

Anyhow, now I am being murdered on eBay for mislabeling my auctions as "Series4" instead of "Series 4." But hey, I can sleep at night.OOOOOO!
*proceeds to army-build on the lovely 2 Trooper auctions* Thumbs up! Thanks - I almost missed those.

I've lurked for a while and thought I'd say hi and give a thanks for all the info and links around here. I'll be on eBay trying to round out the "main" Star Wars cast bidding as 'zachd'.
I'm still waiting for stuff like Indy and the Max Rebo sets to come down... *sigh*.
And I must say that those custom Kubricks are quite impressive - nice work.
