    I really disliked the painted socks but that new Toto basket thing was deal breaker for me.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      Yes, the approach to the new Toto and basket really bothers me.

        Quality and strange decisions are what worry me most about this relaunch.

        Bad likenesses, corner cutting, etc. is bad business, especially for a toy line that, while historically, made sure things were cost effective, still made sure the sculpts were good, and the characters were properly outfitted.

        Poor character selection, eliminating key wardrobe, poor licensing choices, and badly made accessories are not wise in the long run.

        That said, this is, ostensibly a new company, and growing pains happen. I'm willing, in the short term, to forgive some production mishaps, or poor predictions, so long as those issues don't remain endemic down the road.

        That said, the Joker's coat, to me, is a problem. It is an iconic, and in my opinion, necessary part of the character's overall look. Omitting it, in my opinion, is on par with cutting Batman's cape.
        Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figures

          A dearth? Or an abundance ?

            Took the words right out of my mouth! Also wondering how much the Munchkins were selling for.

              Yeah, I probably should have phrased that better.

                I've seen them going for $75 plus for a loose example in fair condition....a MIB flower girl $150 easily.
