Super Collector Newsletter Discussion Thread

Good stuff. I haven't gotten any of the Presidents before, but that Biden head has a lot of custom potential, methinks. Nice neutral expression, good features for an older character, high forehead allowing a lot of hair re-sculpt possibilities. Also looks like the head for Green Arrow isn't just the same one from the Longbow Hunters version size-wise. It definitely looks bigger, especially as we've heard the new 50th figure bodies are in scale with the old type 2s, and this definitely looks proportionate to the body. THe outfit looks just like I remember it, even down to the velour-ish shoulders and gloves. I'm really chomping at the bit for these to come out.

I would have gone with the night shot of the Bog monster...

Great newsletter.

I like the 50th anniversary Green Arrow, I really hope my local Walmarts get these in.
Some very cool looking customs this week too.

I miss Presidential Monsters. As a son/grandson of a schoolteachers I can see the need for the regular Presidents figures in 3d format. As a monster collector I loved the idea of combining them and extending the collection.

The Flash head is perfect IMO. Love the Oompa-Loompa, too.

When I find some Oompa-Loompas I will redo my Wonka vs werewolf scene.

I came close to calling my monster cousin to Monster Inc Sully.

Which Flash head is the one being released? I hope it's the one on the left but all the pics I've seen of the figure have the blobby paint job of the one of the right.

The one on the left looks more like it was actually cast in red, it has the matte finish I've seen on the three figure currently out, the flesh tone is right, and it is slightly smaller (plastic shrinks as it cools), so I'm thinking that's the production model?

One on the right is the paint master me thinks.

Love those skeletons!!!

Love those skeletons!!!

Yeah, I'm going to make many dead versions of things, especially astronauts, so many astronauts....

[ODBJBG]

The skeletons look cool. I'll need to see some reviews. I kinda like the more cartoony looks of the old FTC skeletons and the cheap Walmart (and other place) 8 inch poseable skeletons that have hit in recent years around Halloween. Those feel more like what a Mego skeleton would look like, but these might win out if they're affordable, poseable and can stand up well.

I like the skeletons, but I have a couple of negative observations. I like the double jointed knee, because it gives the look of a patella. I do not like the double jointed elbows. They really messed up the hip joint, in my opinion. Ball and socket? Yes! Ball on the pelvis and socket on the femur? No!!! They could have switched that and it would have been awesome. Ball on the femur and socket in the pelvis, this would have made the figure way more accurate and it would have looked so much better! What in the world were they thinking? The elbow is very forgivable, due to articulation, but the hip is just so wrong!
