Julius Marx, he of Action Figure Insider , has the first look at the packaging for the Mattel figures based on the Legion cartoon! To quote:



If what he says is right looks like the girls still get no respect.

Wow. Thanks Scott.

What's with toy companies and female figures? I just don't get their logic.

Love the Flight Ring, though!

I'm hoping they include a flight ring with each one. That way I have at least one, if not two, of each official release to go along with my sterling silver version.

NO $#!+!

We -better- get a triplicate girl 4-pack-- or at least a regular TG, with a 3-pack of White, Orange and Purple Lu's.

I know it's too soon to be jumping the gun, but Gary's right that toy companies are awful with making girl figures; So of course they're the first to disappear when the scalpers scarf them up to put on eBay. I'm still having no luck finding the EXP Blaster Batgirl from The Batman series at retail... and the best I can find on eBay is $15 -plus- shipping.

It figures, some of these toy companies are so narrow-minded it's unbelievable

Guess it's time to find out who the toy people are in the stores around here and start flirting.

With three major female characters, you'd think there would be at least one in the first wave. Grr.

That packaging concept is too dangerous for a girl!

it is a start something to look forward to for next years 50th it is shaping up to be big with legion goodness popping up everywhere

Awesome! It looks like the packaged flight rings are just kinda dangly on the bottom. That's kinda weird...

I'm imagine wave 1 would have at least 1 bad guy.

Oh and I think my lil' cousin said they took forever to make Starfire and Raven toys in the Teen Titans line. Anyone know if that's true?

Third wave I believe.

They're gonna get ripped off. Mattel better secure them well...

If you look closely at the package art it appears that the flight ring 'controls' the action features of the figure.

sorry Scott that image link dont seem to work anymore.

They pulled the image at Mattel's request.

They haven't asked me.

Thanks guys. Thought that was the reason the link didnt work. (also thought i could rely on someone having the image so i could take a look)

Cool, they look awesome...i need to see if im even avble to get my hands on one.
But they've also got the other characters to right?

Nothing set in stone yet DG. This is just a preliminary design, which is most likely why it was pulled from the original site. There has been no official announcement yet on the characters to be represented or even when we will see these on the shelves.

Well, their cool anyways!

IknewitIknewitI KNEW it!

Actually, I didn't; I wondered why you were linking to JM's image instead of uploading it here.

I was kicking myself so hard for not saving the image the first time...

I linked to JM's originally to be expedient as I didn't have time to upload it to my place and just never came back here to change the link. But once I posted about it to the Clubhouse I had a copy myself. Learned too many times that if an article on another site involves an images, give tons of credit but use your own, locally, stored copy.

Expect a sneak preview of the figures (and probably their packaging too) at San Diego.
