Yeah for new figures!
Awww for Target exclusives!
Awww for a Apokolips-heavy assortment of lesser known characters!
Yeah for The Question!

[Earth 2 Chris]

Mixed blessing there. I guess if Target wasn't carrying them, the line would be dead. But there are only 2 Targets near me, and both are heavily scalped.

Mattel's packouts killed this line at most retailers. How else can you explain Wal-Mart still carrying much higher priced Marvel Legends of super-obscure characters no kid ever heard of, and NOT carrying JLU which is still airing on Boomerang?

[BlackKnight]

Yes, it is a bit dissapointing that these are only at Target now,.. however to be honest, its the only place out here I even see them anymore, so I think perhaps it was going on for a while, I don't think any other stores were ordering them.

I look forward in hopefully getting a Question. But have still yet to find a Single carded Hawkman, or a Miracle,.. are they even out there ? Last Month I finally scored a Blue Devil. I have scene a Vixen, a time or 2, but her face paint is always screwed up.. just looking for a better painted head, because I do not remove these from package.

On a side note with the link that was provided , & being the Huge Star Wars Fan that I am,.. they revealed the new packaging for Clone Wars. I think its just too dang cool. :grin:

The whole line is going Target exclusive. Hopefully Target will tell Mattel they don't want twenty Batman and Superman figures hanging from the pegs anymore.

I'm a good hour from any Target, so I'll be depending on the fine members of this board to help me fill in the holes in my JLU collection. I really don't want to have to use ebay to get these.

I've seen and passed one every one of THE Batman JLA members. They look worse than the Bats from that line.

there is an open petition to have them release him on the emeralddawn.com website

[palitoy]

I just got the latest Toyfar and it pictures the Bug, Lasher and Mantis figures.

While I like the New Gods characters, an overproliferation of them in one spurt like this isn't really exciting. It reminds me of that wave of Superpowers that I didn't enjoy.

I got Hawkman last year when he was showing up at Big Lots. Haven't seen him since.

[thunderbolt]

Hawkman is actually the last one I picked up at Target.

[The Toyroom]

The last I picked up at Target were Supes/WW/The Demon...

[starsky]

if you guys spot the hawkman, please remember me!!

thanks

[BlackKnight]

So is Hawkman Singled then,.. or just in the 3 pack ?

[starsky]

i've personally only seen him in 3 pack.. but not sure if he's packed single nowadays.

I have only seen GRODD in a Target 6 pack with recolors of original JL series figs (and I an not playing the recolor game with this line unless it is a show appearance recolor like Luthor or Huntress)

BTW does anyone know of a comprehensive website with the JL/JLU figures released (preferably one with pics)

[Earth 2 Chris]

I got mine in a 3-pack. I can't remember who with though...
