I got my marvel select Cap but his shield is bent

run it under hot water. Gungir (odin's spear) that came with Loki Select was bent too. Hot water fixed it. lol

Nice collection Ipodman!! I'm not too big into Transformers (cartoon figures) but the movie ones are cool. I like the way you have them displayed, nice and neat. The Aliens vs Predator figure pack is my favorite in your collection. t:

Finally got the Superman figure i've wanted for awhile. It looked the best and didn't have all the exaggerated muscles of some figures.

Articulation is limited and I think the one I bought is loop sided or that's the way it was meant to look.


The \S/ isn't straight on the chest

Here's someone elses

Shoulder's are level and \S/ is straight

 

[BizarroAids]

Is that the All Star Superman?

 

[Goldenage Batman]

Yes

You know, I'll never understand why people like something other people don't. I mean to me that Superman figure is horrible in every possible way, but clearly others like it and thats fine, I'm not attacking them for it. It's just something I've always wondered about, why we're drawn to one thing over another, with action figures especially.

Anyhow, that Superman is squint.

Same here, it looks terrible to me. Looks like he has a gorilla body.

 

[Goldenage Batman]

Well I myself would buy that Superman toy only because its based off my favorite Superman story of all time. All Star Superman was nothing short of amazing.

That's just the way we are. We all have preferences.

-I think it has a nice normal facial expression. It's not angry or looks old.
-Decent muscle definition. I never liked roided out action figures.

Maybe there's a better Superman figure out there that I don't know about(with more articulation) but this one just caught my eye.

I just spoke with the ebay seller I bought it from. He's had THREE and they all have a uneven shoulder issue.

Hello,

I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the figure. I have had three different All-Star Superman figures and they all have had the shoulder issue.

The first one I had broke at the right shoulder (take extra caution as the shoulder joints are not ball joints, but seem to be cut joints, as I learned the hard way).

The second one is the one you now have in your possession.

The third one, the one I currently have, is from the box set. I bought this one to replace the other because I liked the shades of red and blue better than the carded release.

As I mentioned though, all three had/have the shoulder issue. I suspect that it's not noticeable in the photo of that one you sent to me simply because it's not a direct straight-on photo of the figure. If you notice, the right foot is a little ahead of the left and at certain angles, the should alignment isn't as noticeable as it is at others.

Here is a photo of the mine and yours that I took right before I listed the figure on eBay. I have just drawn a line across the fists, so you can see where they do and don't line up since it's easier than comparing the shoulders.



As for the emblem being crooked, I can't say as I ever noticed that. The whole figure always just looked off to me, as does the one I currently have. If you would like to return the figure, you of course may do so. Just let me know and I'll provide you with the return instructions.

Again, I am sorry that the figure did not live up to your expectations.

The face on his third one is horrid. Apparently they didn't paint a flesh tone on his.

It's a very retro-y looking figure, reminds me of the old 1930's Superman cartoons. Sucks about the unevenness though

I'm actually afraid to buy this one figure I've been looking at for fear that it won't be as nice as the images.

Okay, TARDIS May I bother you about what line/height that one is?

/actionfigure/toyn00b

 

[Gold Samurai]

It's about 7.5 inches and it's the 9th and 10th doctor Flight control TARDIS.

I printed off a St. Johns ambulance logo and taped it on the front of the TARDIS to make it the 11th doctor's TARDIS

 

[twylight]

Good gosh. I must have it. *tracks it down*

Oh, that 11th Doctor

Thanks for the info!

 

[ThDWgeek]

Nice TARDIS idea t: What other Doctor Who stuff do you have, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Goldenage Batman]

to this day I still don't get Dr. Who
