Target really? I will have to try to find a pack. I saw these somewhere on line. I didn't know they would be at Target. Thanks for the info.

It was a limited selection, a 12 pack and some 3 packs, but they had them up here in Maine.

Haha, wow. Colonel Sanders, Casey Jones, Andre the Giant, Ash, Mr. T., the Dude and tons of other references in those toys. Are they trying to appeal to kids or mid-to-late 20-somethings like me?

I found series 2 of the s.l.u.g. zombies today. I am hooked. I gotta keep getting these. There are over 100 and the characters are awesome!!

I think they are my favorite 3 3/4 inch action figure.
Universal monsters rule. I just need the creature from the black lagoon to complete my set.

you can get series 1 12 pack of S.L.U.G. zombies on the Toys r Us website for $15 with shipping
better then 35-40 on Ebay

I completed series 2 for $18 at Target, you'll end up with 2 doubles… i'm hooked

WHo are the guys on the top right all the way to the back? Close ups?

Those appear to be Voltron bad guys. From the 80s. They're Great figures. I happen to have at least two of those. I love their design. Not much interested in the good guys from the line, but the space baddies characters are quite cool.

EDIT: Man, I forgot all about Crystar! Lovin' that whole shelf.

EDIT AGAIN: SLM, I have the blue crystal dragon from Crystar if you're ever interested in trading. I like him a lot, but there are definitely other pieces I'd like more.

^^How un-broken is your crystal dragon (if broken at all, many of them are broken)?
I might be interested if slm passes.

I have very little interest in Batman toys, but this Dark Knight Returns 6" figure coming out from Mattel early next year will be mine! I always loved the look of that book and seeing The Four Horsemen interpret it is too cool.

not gonna lie that looks perfect must have

it's just too bad that I won't be renewing my subscription for 2013. I refuse to give in to their supposed price hikes.

Nice first post, been fighting the new MOTU line but the new Battle Cat is calling me.

I just liked the shot. My current iPhone background.

Great photo!! I like that your shoe collection shares space with your toy collection!
I think a lot of people feel that way, or at least that's why Matty wants to bump the price.
I never got into collecting these, but the star sisters are pretty rad. Trying to complete the vintage collection is hard enough.

I didn't even know there was a subscription, but that sounds like a very awesome idea. I wouln't have the funds for a year of toys, but there are definitely a lot on your wall I would not mind having at all. Were there a lot of exclusives sold this way then, and how much did it amount to, if you don't mind saying?

Here are some info

Unfortunately, the window for the sub has passed.

MOTUC is something I'd like to get into more, but can't afford it. Draego-man was awesome this year, one of the few I bought: http://www.itsalltrue.net/?p=18866

Thanks for the info guys. Not something I would be able to afford, but as I said, I really like the idea of it. The main thing is it is so hard to get modern toys in this bloody country. Basically any kind of action figure collector is relegated to the after market or getting hookups through the US. I still love the vintage MOTU, but without question I would have bought some of the guys from this series.

Supershallow - Wow. I can imagine it was a tough decision for you, as you obviously adore the line. Love the way you have them displayed by the way. I've often thought of how neat it'd be to have a room where the wall space is completely covered in carded figures or comic books. Hope to do so eventually. Yours looks great!

Silver Lining Man - Are you interested in adding a crystal dragon to that shelf (ha, if it'll fit that is)? PM Me.

Kaijuphotobooth - As far as I can remember, I'm pretttty sure his crystals are all intact (unbroken). If SLM doesn't want him & you do, I'll dig him up if you're Seriously interested. Unfortunately 99.9% of my collection is all packed up, and lovingly so, in a plethora of plastic bins while in a transition situation. But I know I have the dragon & his rider, not sure about the accessories... If so, I'll PM you in a few days if I don't hear anything from silver lining man or he passes.

that would be very awesome.

@boo velvet - thanks for the offer dude! pm sent!

@kaijuphotobooth- the shoes are just the aftermath of my purge quite some years ago. despite the amount I only rotate between a couple of pairs. The day I decided to throw the boxes away, was the most freeing experience haha!

@ultrakaiju Sorry for the late reply, like you said the subscription isn't the cheapest because they make you BUY EVERYTHING they release. They charge shipping and tax. The only way to "save" money would've been to buy multiple subs but you'd only save on shipping. But being international would've hurt either way.

@boo velvet Thanks man! It wasn't the easiest decision especially with some of the figures they previewed at SDCC. But I'll say it again, i refused giving in!!!! Mattel trying to gain sympathy and essentially blackmailing folks into keeping this line alive at a premium does not leave a good taste in your mouth and wallet.

I want this Hasbro masterpiece.. Takara Tomy version is superior, but this is about 1/2 the price.
