Heatwave- 12-25-2006
We all have wish lists, and we all have upcoming toys we want to get our hands on...

But what previously released toy or statue or prop has eluded you so far?
You can either name one toy or make a list. The only qualification is that the toy must already be available on the market somewhere.

Here are mine:

DC Direct: Flash Mark Wieringo Statue and Flash VS Captain Cold Statue

Marvel Legends: FF Classics Super Skrull and Kang.

JLU: Doomsday and Hal Jordan

Muppets: Rainbow Connection Kermit, Penguins and Dream Date Gonzo

Others: Star Wars Unleashed Storm Trooper and WWF Backstage Mayhem Playset

Mattel DC: Azrael

I'm glad you didn't limit it to just one item as that would simply be too difficult for any of us smile.gif

The ones on my list that are really near-impossible to get hold of (primarily because of the price) include:

- the cancelled 5th series of the 1990s Iron Man figures by ToyBiz. This series includes Dark Aegis, Radiation Armor IM, Lava Armor IM, Living Laser and Magnetic Armor IM. A few pre-release final products did make their way to some people and some even got listed on eBay over the past few years.

- Mego Superman, Jor-El, Luthor and General Zod - these are the 12-inch figures which were released around the same time the first Christopher Reeve movie was first shown.

- Mego Batman w/ removable cowl - simply because it's Batman.

- the entire Super Powers line - given that I'm a person obsessed with completing the currently running JL/JLU toys, wanting to have SP seems like a natural tendency.

I do have a lot more to list but they are mostly antiques so I'll just stick with those that are still in the realm of possibilities.

As the great philosopher Wayne Campbell once said, "It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine...." wink.gif

Still looking for that elusive Tomar Re to complete my Green Lantern Corps.

And I am quite tempted to get the GL Power Battery prop to serve as the backdrop for my GL Corps as OA's main Power Battery.

On my Avengers, I'm currently waiting for ML15 to finally get Captain Marvel.

Nope, I think Doom, RWOS and the archer will be the hardest to get... Hopefully, they won't release a lot of good stuff next year... biggrin.gif
