Thanks for the corrections Steve !

This is a great site, thanks to keep us informed ! And tell Eaglemoss that if they don't release Sasquatch, I will kick their ass !

Anyway, JB's list was interesting, even if I don't know all the characters (who is Pink Pearl  ?), but Lockjaw and Attuma would be great !

Richard "who is Pink Pearl?"

She's a large (or to be less politcally correct - obese) Canadian super villain-ess created by JB, first appearing in AF #22? I think she'd have to be special edition!

I second your threat to kick Eaglemoss asses if they don't do Sasquatch!

OK all, glad that's sorted :-)

 

I too agree with JB's additional figs, however too many may lead to divorce!

 

 

mmmnn just had a thought, divorce means I will be able to get a single bed which means more space for the collections...plus if the kids leave too that frees up another two rooms......

And who says these are not addictive. :-)

What do you mean guys, have you trouble with your wifes with your addiction to comic books characters ?

My wife is pretty cool with that, she admitted a long time ago that getting married and having children and being more than 35 years old would not prevent me from still being 12 in my head ! The only trouble I have right now is with my 2 kids who want TO PLAY (argh !!!) with my collection, which led me to by some of Spider-man and Friends action figure (Hulk, Iron Man, Spidey, the thing, ...)

Omigosh !!!  Pink Pearl, of course, I had forgotten her (sorry JB, no offense !)

Eaglemoss would have to release her in a "built-a-figure" sort of way, you know, with each part sold separately with another figure ...

Anyway, what kind of paint do you use to repaint/customize your characters ? Doctor Doom got his first "scars" yesterday, thanks to my little boy (hell, what did I have in mind to let him grab Doom and Ghost Rider in the first place ...)

Sidebar. In my first studio in my former house, there was a fireplace with
a wide mantle. I set my Super Powers action figures in a line along this
shelf (in alphabetical order, which hardly anyone ever seemed to pick up
on!)

One afternoon, during one of my summer parties, I wandered into the
studio to find a small clutch of my fellow professionals had gathered in
there. One of these was a good friend, who had brought with him his
wife and small daughter (maybe three years old). I walked in to find her
sitting on the floor playing with my Aquaman figure. "She was bored,"
said my friend, "so I gave her Aquaman to play with. He doesn't matter."

His exact words, burned into my brain. I took the toy from the child* and
replaced it on the shelf. "Does to me," I said.


*Don't swing at the easy ones.

Why do I think that story would have had a totally different outcome if he
had said "she loves Aquaman and wanted to play with him. Hope
that's alright..."

Nice to see an updated and confirmed list up!  Most excited to see:

Guardian, of course; Absorbing Man; Black Widow (redhead, please); Crystal; Falcon; Hercules (the preview pic was PERFECT); Impossible Man; Kang; Mole Man; Ms Marvel; Quicksilver; Scorpion; Wonder Man (safari jacket, please); Rhino.  Gladiator falls in the X-Men category, which I'm not collecting, but thanks to JB, I can fit him in with the FF.  Yea!

We must have a Special of Sasquatch.  JB's.  Not the pink one.  Not some other bastardized crap.  JB's.
