Medicom is making Cowboys and Aliens. $190 a pop. Very bad proportions, huge heads.. But - Best Ford likeness I've seen so far on a 12" figure.

Munsters are out! I stopped at TRU today and found two Hermans and a Lily on the pegs. Picked up a Herman, but passed on Lily for now. Looking at the back of the card, it only shows those two plus Grandpa (which they didn't have). Not sure why they didn't just release all five at once.

On the fence about the Munsters figures. Did not grow up with that show, so I have little emotional attachment. On the other hand, we named our cats Herman and Lily. I guess it is going to be an "in the store looking at them" kind of decision.

Well, saw the Munsters at TrU tonight, and the wife decided she wanted those.
Amazing they can put those on the shelf for $15, given their size and huge accessories, while McF wants $20 for figures half that size with only a couple very small accessories.

Now this is what I was talking about when I had mentioned value in the Gremlins thread. 15 bucks for these figures is a great deal given their size and detail.

lol @ the gif. Sums it up nicely, though.
My TrU was littered with the Walking dead figures, with more cases sitting on the top shelf. Curious to see how many of those are going to be sold during the holiday season.

I have a feeling these Walking Dead figs will be warming pegs long after the holidays, unfortunately. I heard the 3rd series of Bioshock 2 figs is supposed to come out this month. Anyone know if these are still coming out, or are out yet? Any sightings?

I have a feeling these Walking Dead figs will be warming pegs long after the holidays, unfortunately. I am kind of torn about these figures. I want them to succeed, because I still do not have any particular ill will towards McFarlane, so for the sake of his company, I hope they sell. On the other hand, I hope they tank in the hope that McF will take some lessons on what collectors are really want. Kind of like a "told you so" in regards to the (in my mind) dumb-ass decisions he made for this line. Undersized figures, shitty paint, shitty articulation on par with Jakks Pacific figures from 1998, unnecessary play features no one cares about after a day or 2, etc. I heard the 3rd series of Bioshock 2 figs is supposed to come out this month. Anyone know if these are still coming out, or are out yet? Any sightings? I know they are not out yet, but I have not heard anything specific on when they are going to be on the shelves. NECA is pulling out al the stops at the moment though.. Gremlins and Terminator are out now Ezio's are starting to show up Predators series 4 this month NOES series 2 this month Predators TrU 2-pack in December Gears of War 3 series 1 any time now Gears of War 3 series 2 in december and more Mogwais, Rocky, Evil Dead and Predators immediately thereafter.

I saw all three Terminators at Toys R Us today; I ordered the Police Shootout one online way before they were in stores and he looked awesome. Now I saw them today in a regular store (including the one I got) and they looked TERRIBLE! Just awful pain jobs! Is this a common thing? Maybe I should pre-order figures more often, because I was completely satisfied with the one I got! Before I had considered buying the battle bamaged Tech Noir one, but once I saw it in person, he had the dirty jacket, but squeaky clean arms! I mean WTF

Hmmm, I picked one up the other day at TrU and I did not see any major issues with really any of them. Maybe a fluke? What exactly was the problem with the ones you saw?

It could have been a fluke, but they had 3 of everyone and they were all terrible! For example- my Police Shootout Arnold that I got online was flawless ( I even put up pics on this board) but the ones there looked sloppy, with arms bent out of whack, and his sunglasses were flat and chalky, while on mine they were sharp and high gloss. The Battle Damaged Tech Noir one had the blackened smokey jacket (like in the promo pic) but his arms were clean, and his bloody eye just looked like a red dot-- his non battle damaged head had eyeballs painted too low-- like practically on his CHEEKS!!
Maybe Toys R Us left their box in the sun too long and they all melted, lol

I've seen a number of police shoot-out T-800 figures with sloppy paint and flat black sunglasses.
