New figure alert!!!!
Target in Southaven (Goodman Rd.) has the first wave of clone wars animated figures. The Assajj Ventress looks awesome. Also found General Reeikan Ultra fig and second Imperial Dignitary. This target is loaded so if you're missing anything new, that's where to go. Peace and Merry Chrimus to all!

That's cool, Dale.
So, what have been the major additions to your collection since we saw you last?
The only thing cool I've scored lately is the mint, carded Prince Xixor figure that Rhonda got me for Christmas.

I saw a lot of the new ones at the Target on Colonial off Poplar. No new Batman figures, though...

When you say Batman, Lin, you don't mean, like, Justice League stuff, do ya? Cuz there's a bunch of Justice League merch at our local Wal-Mart here.

Nope, there's another line that looks more like the comics. I've go the Bats/Supes 2-pak, and the zip-line Batman. The ones I'm on the lookout for are The Joker, Mr. Freeze, and Robin. All I keep coming across is stupid ones like underwater Batman or flourescent camo Baman and such. There's some from China I've seen on ebay- but are going for over $20 a piece. They've got Batman, Robin, Joker, and (sigh..) Harley Quinn.
The company that sculpts the ones here is The Four Horsemen (they sculpted the new He-Man figures, too), but I can't remember who's actually making them.
I've got the big JL Batman, and a couple of the small ones and a Superman. I've also got the 12' Batman JL statue. I dig the others, but have kinda been limiting myself to what I pick up these days- space at home and $. I did pick up a few of the Kingdom Come figures...sweeeet!

Hit Target Wednesday and picked up a really cool Green Goblin figure. It's the latest comics version. Still no Mr. Freeze or Joker...

I should actually be praying for more wall space instead of star cases. I'm going to have to down size my computer desk soon to make room. April won't let me hang figures in the living room. She's restricted me to posters only.

Wait a sec, Dale..... I picture rooms whose walls are covered with MIB SW figures..... (just like Sal had at his old apartment).....
You're out of wall space??? That's a buttload of figures you got there! And the wife won't let you branch out into the living room? My suggestion: Start buying 1" thick 4x8 sheets of plexiglass, build a framework using 2x4's on the floor so you have a grid of 4'x4' sections, and then you can start flooring the place with your figures. Just think of how many you could display that way!! This is typical of the crap that I come up with when I can't sleep.
You'll have to get Rhonda to share her pics from her friend's house in Michigan. I think that guy has us all beat.

And the dude is married- and has figures EVERYWHERE!
I'm single and don't let myself have toys diplayed in the living room! There's model kits, snowglobes, statues, comic pages, cels, autographed photos, but no toys- well, one old train car and a couple Pez dispensers...

Hey gang- I posted this in the Memphis Comics Signing thread, but thought I'd try and revive this one.
I was Animax on Summer Ave. (between Highland and Perkins I think- on the south side of the street next to a piano company)this past weekend and picked up an older Watto and metal bikini Leia figures. I also saw some life-sized Pepsi SW standees of Mace, Obi-Wan, and Watto. Watto was around $14.99. Not sure about the others.
Lots of anime'/manga stuffs, too. I got the SW figs, a cool art book, some small pvc manga girls, Batgirl barbie, and a Superman:The Movie Pepsi glass.

I'm glad I found a toy collecting thread to post on. I have a few...just a few figures to collect, and any help would be greatly appreciated!! Anyone have any ideas where to locate the throne room duel Vader and Luke??!!?!?!!? These are 2 of my saga lines I need/want. I'm sure there is no way I can locate any "unleashed" figurines...namely...Anakin, Vader, Mace and Tyrannus?!!? If anyone has any extras or loose ones to sell I'd be much obliged.
I have found "A LOT" of Neo-classic figures for sell at the outlet factory mall in the memorablia store!!! I also have a number to a guy in Hernando who is selling his entire Neo-classic line of figures and vehicles @ very reasonable prices...like 5 a figure...he has tons...if you need the number I be glad to share and tell you who to ask for....just private message me and I'll reply.
