SDCC Exclusives go on sale on matty today

I think what hurt Swamp Thing is the figure is huge. I've read people mentioning that ST could alter his size but obviously people didn't really want the big version of ST and most wanted a figure more in scale with the rest of the DC Universe figures.

Not a problem for me. Like I said, I don't collect the DCU scale, or even the DC Direct figures. I would be picking this one up purely as an old Swampy fan.

I did nab a Ghoulia.

For collectors of the DC Universe line though it was kind of a problem. Seriously, the figure is huge.

Check it out here. Batman is I think six foot two and Swampy is supposed to be seven feet tall. That's some serious scale issues for collectors of the line.

I did nab a Ghoulia.

I can understand that. Ghoulia is awesome.

Swamp Thing was the only thing I stood in line for at San Diego this year, and since I'm not a collector of the DC line I was quite pleased and surprised by the size of the damn thing. I bought three (one for me, one each for two pals) and had to check a bag on the way home (free, thanks delta) because the three figures in box took up the same amount of space as a rolling travel bag. I kid you not.

Also, the limit per piece for the different exclusives at the show was 6 per person and the Stay Puftt was sold out by Friday night from what I saw.

I never bought Swampy today.
I have Damn near every DCU To Date.
However, ... I just have absolutely No Interest in the Character.... and Don't need him ...at all... atleast not for 30 bucks Chief. I have about as much love for him ..., as I do Starman and His Cosmic Rod.

Crap....I didn't even know there was a size descrepancy with Swamp Thing....Doh!

[Earth 2 Chris]

Swamp Thing's scale kind of put me off on him too. Not sure I would have bitten, but with him being huge, it turned me off.

I did get Cindy a Carol Ferris Barbie and a Ghoulia. It took me a half an hour too.

Swampie was supposed to be comparable to the build-a-figures... How does he look standing next to them?

I've heard a great deal of concern over figures that are rubber covered armatures. Apparently high end 12" figures that are less than ten years old are cracking and crumbling

[darkmonkeygod]

Anyone find a website where they've skinned a Swamp Thing yet?

[BlackKnight]

I seriously doubt that the size of Swamp Thing is discouraging the Majority of the potential Sales of the Character. Build a Figures ...

I didn't know that, about his size ... now it interests me somewhat.

I bought Swamp Thing at SDCC and he is awesome!
he has a slimy-feeling sticky skin.
He's as tall as the Build-A-Figures.
and his face looks like Boris Karloff.

true story.

I'm starting to think I may need to get one of these Swampys.

[TrueDave]

Swamp Thing and the Horror and War guys are all that intrest me.

I dont think this looks much like Wrightson. A lot bissette.

Wrigtsons Swampy was muck and slime. No flowers or Halucinogenic pods growing.

If he's sticky, will tear, cant hold a pose etc.
Then i dont want him.

I wouldnt buy a dull knife, a toaster that didnt toast so I dont want a Swamp Thing I cant play with.

"A toy I cant play with"
Another reason I didslike toys becoming a adult hobby.

[Nostalgiabuff]

totally forgot about this sale. i was able to get right in and order 2 Ghoulias. one for each of my daughters. site says almost sold out too

[GlobalObserver]

I really want a Swamp Thing, but like a lot of folks, I'm concerned with the rubber skin deteriorating and the oily/sticky feel of the skin.

[Mego Milk]

swamp thing is cool.
