    Getting out of the JLU line

    As I've stated before, I've been frustrated with this line for some time. When they raised the price of single-carded figures, I tried to stick with multi-packs. But there are just too many repackaged figures to make those worthwhile anymore either, plus they didn't come with accessories. On top of that, I can't get the really cool sets because they're MattyCollector or convention exclusives. I'm done. I have plenty of other toys, especially DC superheroes, and a serious lack of space.
    I'm going through my boxes of figures, putting them in groups, and customizing some characters as well. Once that is done, they'll be listed on eBay. If anyone is looking for a specific character(custom or released), let me know and I'll see if I have it so we can make a deal.

    I'd also welcome suggestions for the best way to break up teams.

        They're mostly loose. I know I have Super Woman on a single card, and at least one of those large 6-packs I never opened.

          I have the 6-pack that included Mr Terrific and Hourman, as well as the one that had Gentleman Ghost, still in their boxes. I also have Gold Amazo. I'll have a more complete list once I find them all. Still open to custom suggestions!

            I missed the 6-packs with the Atomic Skull et. all and the one with Superman that came out at the same time. I forget who else was in it. Do you have any from Mattycollector?

              Carson Pillard is the Best Animated Customizer ever.
              He was making characters back before the JLU ..., and before the JL series.
              It's really difficult to even think of a group to customize in the Animated scale to spice up 1's collection, that Hasn't been done, Unless you go for something like the rest of the 7 Soldiers,... The Rest of the Secret Six ...., maybe some JSA characters, like Liberty Bell/ Jessie Quick Damage, Starman, Sandman, Magog ..., or a Judus Contrat set ... DeathStroke, Disco NightWing, StarFire, WonderGirl, BeastBoy ...., Or really tapped into all the Green Lantern Stuff. Or I guess just Flipped them Completely, and made Marvel Custom's with them. I seen these 1 time ...., Neat stuff.

                What is Carson's screen name or online alias? That name sounds familiar. Maybe I've seen his work on Raving Toy Maniac or even Fwoosh.
                BK, some of the teams you've mentioned are ones I'm thinking of, like filling in holes in the JSA and Titans family.

                  I think he used the Name Casmir...., or something.
                  I know you have seen his work, if you went to those sites.
                  I think he has is own too.
                  Most times He gives a Tutorial, or something on a How-Too of a Figure as well.

                    Ah yes, I know Casmir's work well. I do like his animated customs quite a bit. It's not my favorite format to work in, but I've made several as gifts that turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself. This is mostly to see if I can get rid of some of the more common figures and see what they go for.

                      I guess I'm interested in the custom scene regarding a few characters
                      ---someone like KILLER FROST... I mean... she was in a couple episodes
                      I really liked and it would be kinda bad if I never had one to display.

                          The only Matty Collector set I have is the one with Hal Jordan in the orange flight suit, Sinestro in the GL Corp outfit, and Abin Sur. I definitely don't have Grundy.

                              Ok, here's the list. I included the Bandai Teen Titans line as well. Unless otherwise noted, there are no accessories, as I bought most of these as multi-packs. If I find the accessories, I will add them to the list. I know that I have other figures somewhere, but I may not see them for a long time. I seriously have that many toys sitting in what is supposed to be our collection/display room - it's evolved into a storage room. It's driving me nuts, having all this stuff and not being able to display it. Anything not purchased here will be divided into lots and listed on eBay, and I will probably be going through several other lines to sell also.
