The Beast was in the lot that came into my LCS today, so my collection is one short of what it might have been. Added Iron Fist and Thor, tho. Very nice. Thor is another one you should be careful not to drop on your foot.Passed also on both variants of Captain Marvel and Shadowcat. (Gotta say, the illustration on the cover of the accompanying magazine was, for the latter, totally bugf*cked. ^^***** has completely forgotten who the character is, haven't they?) Looks like Emma Frost should be in the next lot. Not my costume, but a nice sculpt, so I will probably pick it up.

LOL!
Since I moved up to Connecticut I have continued to use my former LCS in NY for my comics needs. They send me my books every other week. I just called them and they carry the Figurines also. I will be having them send me whichever ones I want! Just ordered my Iron Fist and Thor!

I'm also guessing these figs aren't limited. Meaning if they run out of Nightcrawler they'll just make more?

Does anyone have pics or links to the new DC ones this company is putting out? Reaper mentioned it, but I couldn't find it at his page.
I own the Angel and dig it. I want some more.

Possibility guys that the websites for the DC series will be www.dc-figurines.co.uk and/or www.dc-figurines.com as both have been pre-registered.
First images sent to me are below. Unusual that you couldn't find these Frank as they are on my home page www.marvelcustoms.co.uk along with images of upcoming Marvel figs not yet on the Eaglemoss site :)
SPOILER PICS BELOW

I am almost -- but not really -- sad to see DC figures. My collection of DC character figures (in all sizes) is almost literally wall to wall, while most of Marvel's product has been such crap I have only one shelf, about eight feet long, and it is mostly empty. I was hoping (for old time's sake) to see these figurines give the Marvel I know and love a chance to catch up, at least on a head-count basis.I will, of course, be buyng the DC figurines when they become available, so there goes that plan!

DCs got all the best sculptors. Marvel's got the best articulations, the drawback is all their figures are deformed with random proportions and head sizes. I liked their 12 inch rotoscoped figures though. I bought all of the Fantastic Four ones and the Spider Man ones. >__>

Honestly, I think I can live without the DC ones. But I know what you're
saying about DC overall, JB. The only area where the Marvel stuff is better is
the Bowen statues.........and those are primarily responsible for my space
shortage.

I hope you're right, Wayne. But do you really want to take that chance?
Frankly, I love life too much NOT to buy that Green Arrow!
