Several countries have the DC Super Hero Collection published by Eaglemoss. I'm not sure who publishes it in the US.

I have picked up #67 that features Cosmic Boy. The figurine is nice, Rokk in his Levitz era (post-bustier) costume. The figures are cast in lead and hand painted so look much better than action figures.

The magazine is nicely presented but tries to make a single consistent history by mixing up 3boot and classic/retro legion continuity to make it jarring to anyone who knows the real history of the multiple Cosmic Boys.

That's a nice mold ... the details are really good. I wouldn't mind adding that to my collection.
Do you think they'll do any more Legionnaires?

I wonder if we can buy it here in North America. Maybe I'll have to source it out from the Internet.

Garth and Imra are coming in the next few figures but there does not seem to be any more announced after that.

I have also recently picked this up and would agree that it a very nice figure and satisfyingly weighty.

Here is Garths figure:

From what I understand with the marvel figures is that Eaglemoss keeps extending that line by about 20 some figures at a time as long as sales hold up.
I guess they extend it a year at a time?

Anyways they have extended the DC line by another 20 some characters and assuming sales hold up, it's likely there will be more Legion figures at some point since they have already produced most of the core DCU characters. However it will likely be the usual suspects - Brainiac 5, Chameleon Boy, Superboy Kal-El, Mon-El,etc.

I believe it's still Eaglemoss. The difference in the US is that you don't seem to be able to subscribe to the collection directly. One can still do it through a comic shop or a (I presume) mail order company as well.

The regular figures average about 4 inches high, and the deluxe figures (like Grodd, Grundy, etc)
are much larger (and twice the price).

I'm not a figures person but these three look pretty good. A shame they couldn't all have been from the same era, though, to make a matching set. Garth had that costume for a long time but Imra's was earlier and Rokk's later in the timeline, am I right?

Apart from the eternal question of "Where do I put them", those certainly are a "must-buy". Got Cosmic Boy already, will be getting Garth and Imra. Hoping for a Phantom Girl... has she ever been published as some kind of figurine apart from Heroclix? I doubt it...

I'm happy to say that I was able to pick up a Cosmic Boy yesterday at one of my local CBS!

The funny thing was I wasn't even out there looking, and I was kinda on the fence about if I should order one online or not. Then this nice surprize happened by me when I wasn't expecting it so I just had to act on it, right? smile

The figurine is fantastic and it's the first one like this that I own. The comic book itself is amazing too what with all the facts and info... I was really impressed. I will definately be getting the others as they come out (I put my name down to get the rest set aside for me).

Oh, and btw, the price tag was $15.99 Canadian. I think I got a good deal, no? Plus no shipping and handling, no waiting time, etc.

All in all I feel pretty lucky!

I think that pose and facial expression look more like Dream Girl than Saturn Girl. Not that that will keep me from buying this- I hope there are articles inside that stress all the 'firsts' Saturn Girl pioneered as a comic book heroine. I love having many of a character's best artistic representations in one volume in the form of the Eaglemoss magazines. However, some of the printed material has been- well, scattershot. Based on the 9 I own so far, between the Marvel and DC lines.

I am glad that since it's yet another Saturn Girl collectible, she's in a costume that hasn't been depicted in plastic (or lead). I know many fans count this as a favorite.

But Imra only ever wore that costume to get a proposal out of Garth. wink

This line was supposed to end at #100 this summer, but after a letter-writing in Britain to Eaglemoss, apparently the line has been extended for another 20 figures. And one of the figures will be Mon-El!

It seems very unlikely that we will get more than a handful of Legionnaires before this line eventually does end. But at least we are getting another figure
and hopefully another one if the line is extended again next year.
