Nice. He's someone on my list, just not sure where. Someday.

Thank you Packer, yeah so many I wanna do....Seven Soldiers, JSA villains, All Star Squadron. Now that Scott has told us it is absolutely over after 2014, I guess the only challenge is to stay supplied with fodder. :hhgrin:

Indeed. It's starting to really dry up though. Even the K-marts in my area have finally clearanced the DCUC/DCU remnants (recently picked up Dove and El Dorado, they were $9.40 each but with rewards and a $5 coupon I got them for $6 total). If K-marts getting rid of stuff it's going to be hard to find, lol. Hoping stuff will pop up at the TJMaxx's and Marshalls of the world but its been since well before Christmas since I've seen anything at any of them.

Me and my partner in crime are going to a toy show on the fifteenth.
I had some luck at one of those before,(six loose figures at about six bucks apiece), I am a little scared that the dealers are going to start pricing loose figures higher now that the line is dead. It never makes sense to me what people are willing to pay for loose figures. As a general rule I like to pay less for anything I am going to dremel up and paint.

Yes. I've gotta to get to a toy show. My rule of thumb now is to buy just about any DCUC figure I find under $10 (exceptions being things like Golden Pharaoh, Cyclotron, etc.).

I remember only 5-6 years ago or so that loose figs at a con were $5 each for most...sadly those days are coming to an end
I am one of the 63%....

My David Knight/Batman Starman. I made the cape and gloves with duct tape. He started out as a regular Ted Knight Starman. I am hoping to add a Prince Gavyn, Mikhaal, and a Will Payton to my Starman family.

I was very much inspired by Doc's post a few months back. Thank you.

My attempt at Vigilante. Extra thanks to Webslinger for the extra pistol. He is a Jack Knight from head to toe. The hat was made from moldable plastic. I went with a sculpted mask, I was afraid fabric would look too bulky. I am now three down with five to go... a certain knight is on the table next.
