    No Monkeyman?

    Whats up with Hasbro's Monkeyman and OBrian Heros line? I read somewhere that the line got cancelled but Ive heard from a few people they saw a brief run in stores.

    What am I going to do with that one monkeyman leg that came with Judge Death? Sigh* Into the custom bits box I guess.
    Lo there do I see my Father.
    Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
    Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
    Lo they do call me.
    They bid me take my place among them.
    In the halls of Valhalla where the brave may live forever.

      First off, its not hasbro's line, its Marvel Toys. I've seen plenty of both series at Walmart.

        I work at walmart. Nothings come through my store. A friend at another WM only had one case come through. Haven't seen anything on site to store.

        If you could the next time you go and see them could you copy the UPC code off one so I can check the sytem.

        Junes 2008 Toyfare magazine Pg 6 said the line has been killed

          Yep, the line is dead. I think the Toybiz/marvel Toys head was hired away by hasbro, putting him back with Marvel legends.

            I've seen them peg warming at a few walmarts. Why they don't drop the price, I'll never know.

              The two packs are really clogging the pegs here. I wish they would cut the price, that BodyBags guy has some parts that would work for customs.

                  The whole line just sat here, meanwhile I can't get a new JLU or DCU figure to save my life.

                    Toyroom, Since I know where Rome NY is and I don't know where Punkin or Palitoys pants are. LOL

                    Your peg warmers in Walmarts or other stores too ? Do they have enough to finish The BAF Monkey man where you are? I dont know if any figs were short packed.

                    The series didnt wow me, but I liked Marv and I did have a few MM and OB Comics in the day.

                      Why Wal-Mart took a risk on a bunch of unknown comic characters (to the general public) I'll never know. Conan is known, but to the public is a dead property from an old Ah-nuld movie. Judge Dredd's flick pretty much bombed and is forgotten. Meanwhile Wallyworld won't carry a figure line with Batman and the Penguin in it. Huh?

                      The good news is, Wallyworld WILL pick up DCU in the future.

                      The Legendary Comic Book Heroes line did look nice though...

                        Walmart's even getting an exclusive wave of DCU.

                          Just Wal-Mart...I'm not sure what's required to finish the Monkey Man BAF but I know they had the Body Bags 2-Pack and the Conan 2-Pack clogging the shelves still. And probably Judge Death.

                            I wonder if the Wal-Mart buyers were mis-led....when they first came out I distinctly remember the price tags on the peg hooks calling them "Marvel Legends".
