I found old JLU 3 packs at k.B. and Something just didn't look Right.




Nope, no repack here by some deranged fan. There were 6 just like it there along with the other 2 sets from that series.

I found old JLU 3 packs at k.B. and Something just didn't look Right. Another KB near me had a lot of these except for no Elongated Man 3 packs. I thought that was odd. Here are the differences on backs. NOTE THE 'NEW' DC LOGO ON THE NEWER 3-PACKS

More JLU News From Toy Guru!

From a personal email I received from Toy Guru(who works for Mattel):


I’m excited to share some great news about Mattel’s Justice League Unlimited line. Due to overwhelming support from the fans, Mattel and Target are teaming up to bring an all new Collector’s Line to store shelves starting this August!

16 brand new figures along with collector requested repaints and reissues will be available in singles, 3-packs and 6 packs. Figures will be out in two waves. Each wave will consist of two 6-packs, two 3 packs and five single carded figures, some with brand new accessories. This line will be sold exclusively at Target stores starting Aug 1, 2008. At this time the line will be an in store exclusive only.

Wave 1 will be revealed at New York Comic Con in April and Wave 2 will be shown at Comic Con San Diego in July.

There may be a few other JLU surprises this year as well. But fans will just have to wait for the summer conventions to find out what!

We are pleased so show the first 6-pack for Wave 1: Attack from Apokolips featuring Superman, Darkseid, Mr. Miracle, Lashina, Mantis and Forager.















Along with these figures, we are excited to announce that the line will also include several major MIA characters including The Question!

*Note to collectors, these are not the final figures and we do plan to adjust Mantis’ cape color and Forager’s shield.



-Power Guy


*Note: Photo shows 5poa Superman. That may be a good sign for those who like the 5poa figures.

Repack?

Hey guys...so I wet to Austin last night......was going to a haunted house and a party with friends.....but of course I managed to swing by toys r us to see what they had....

I saw this and I at first thought someone repackaged it but upon looking at whole thing it does not appear to have been opened I could be wrong but really does not look to have been opened at all..........I bought it because I needed a better painted Blk Canary....but still its strange as the backing and the name cards go to vigilnate/obsidian/brainiac.....

if it was repackaged I think its weird that they would replace BC with the older one and in my opinion the better version

New 3-packs showing up.

Check your Targets or E-bay. Starman and JLORD Hawkgirls are now appearing in case you missed 'em before. Hopefully Mr. Miracle and Fire/Ice packs follow soon.

Justice League Unlimited and NEW Dc Superheroes/Universe Classics

In answer to some questions by Vancleef9000, Cookie_TXPSY and Temporal Flux re: the new JLU checklist.

Why the ships?
They were in the show.

Why only a couple of the bikes?
Green Arrow had a bike on the show. Batman's always had a batcycle.

Why only some variants?
Only show accurate variants. The Red Hood appeared in the Batman comic, and also is a renamed character, thought he should be there.

why the Flash hover thingy?
A similar machine appeared in the episode 'Ultimatum'

I can understand why we don't see invisible Amazo that came with the original Doomsday pack (he *is* invisible after all ; but where is funky green Amazo that comes with the new, orange Doomsday pack?

Thanks man. The reason the two Amazo's are not in the list is because they're not necessarily show-accurate (also the reason why most of the other variants don't appear such as 'fishnets' canary and 'neon' Hawkman) I DID however put the variants that are either show-accurate or have appeared in the DCAU comics (such as Red Hood). This also goes for the rest of the vehicles. I didn't include the ones that don't show up in the show or ones that are not even known to exist. Flash's Twin Turbo, for example is similar somewhat to Batman's twin turbo seen in Ultimatum.


Also in case anyone's wondering- it's lanterns galore cuz the official JLU checklist did the same except for those who cant hold the lanterns. Included necessary accessories and exluded all 'blasts/powers' Also grouped all the JSAers and partners. Threw away the wave-per-wave concept since I'm beginning to think it doesn't matter anymore with the wave per wave rereleases.

How to get Hawkgirl to stand:

Hoping for some tips or tricks here. I have several Hawkgirl figures, some turned into customs, some just figs. Almost all of them are leaning more and more forward to the point where it's a matter of time before they won't stand.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did you fix your figs? How?

Many people have asked this question, so now we present a solution, at least for those of you who use the 'poker chip and hot glue method"

If you're gonna glue em anyway, grab a straw. Glue one end to the bottom of the hair and the other end to the stand. That way the weight isn't on the legs but on the middle part of the body.



This works perfectly with all Hawkgirl AND Wonder Woman 5poa figures.

Watchtower Patterns redux

As requested this is a repost of the Watchtower patterns.

Walls, doors, and windows

Floor and Lit Ceiling



UPDATE: Use the above patterns and the ones below to create a 3d Infirmary view center as seen in the JLU episode 'The Balance'. YOu can also cut out the windows and replace them with clear plastic (or green clear folder film) to give the look of transparency.

Here are the infirmary floor and glass window. Duplicate as needed.

Here are some panels for the more 'industrial' hallways of the Watchtower. You can also create an octagonal walkway behind a door and a cylindrical elevator.
