So, did you go out today and find any of the new release date sensitive toys?
Did you find a place to break street date and have them for weeks/months already?
I hit one Walmart and called 3 others. The ONLY one that seemed to actually do the street date was a small one nearby.
I was able to get Bane and Alfred MM, 3 Joes: Red Ninja, Joe Trooper and Zartan, Venom (aka the only Spidey 3 3/4 I will buy from this wave, unless the movie changes my mind) and Robin and Killer Kroc from the New Batman line (more for my son if he shows interest).
Quick thoughts: Bane: such a missed opportunity. Why no below the shoulder swivel? The paint on the head is not even complete. You can tell that the head is black plastic and painted.
Alfred: It looks better in person. He comes with the best piece of the Bat Signal. It's an OK figure.
Joes: I wanted to like the new figures, but they are TOO SKINNY. They look Sigma Sixish without trying to be. Zartan was my most wanted but he turned out to be the one I like least. If not for having a total of 4 alternate heads, he would be a waste. The Red Ninja is the perfect Storm Shadow figure without the gear. He comes with the two ninjato swords and a read piece of grappling crap. The Joe trooper looks like Master Chief before he worked out (with a blue cape). He is the best one imo. (General Joes has a nice review.)
No WM had Avengers, except my store which had the one Iron Man that has been there since the one night last week I didn't check. Local scalper Hot Wheel dude (maybe his son is a collector, dunno) beat me again.
So did you find anything this Memorial Day worth mentioning?
