Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Mattel: LSH action figures!

There's now a report that the 12 pack will be coming with Proty and a Flight Ring.

will it make me fly???

Assuming this first 12 pack sells well and Mattel moves forward with more pre-crisis-on-infinite-earths era Legion figures, we would have enough left for almost two more 12 packs.

So here is my speculation on possible line-ups.

pack #2
Mon-El
Star Boy
Sun Boy
Element Lad
Invisible Kid II
Blok
Chemical King
Dawnstar
Phantom Girl
Shadow Lass
Dream Girl
Shrinking Violet

pack #3
Supergirl
Bouncing Boy
Ferro Lad
Invisible Kid I
Tyroc
Projectra
Light Lass
White Witch
Duo Damsel
Mano
Emerald Empress
Persuader

Since we are getting a Validus collect-n-connect in the regular DCUC line and I can see Tharok slipping into that line because he would make a cool-looking figure, I filled out the balance of pack #3 with the remaining classic Fatal Five members.

From the pics, it looks like they're using the same strategy that DC Direct used on the Adventure run: same body mold with paint, heads, and details to distinguish the characters. That's why no girls yet again. It's probably why they were willing to do the set at all, but I'm still disappointed to not get the girls.

But still totally psyched to get this. This is my Legion. It's fun to have the Adventure gang on the shelf, but this group is really the team I fell in love with.

I think they look fantastic! Especially Garth. I love that Tenzil is chewing something.

We'll probably never get the black bustier Cosmic Boy, but I'm incredibly glad to see these. I can't wait.

But I agree, it would be nice to have a couple more girls in there. They have plenty of molds from this line. Oh, well, I'm sure we'll make it worth their while to make a second set.

i'm thrilled about the costumes for Cos and LL. would have preferred pink bikini for Saturn Girl. Tenz looks great but should have a half a metal chain in his hand to imply what that lump in his cheek is. Hope we get that Cockrum Karate Kid!!!!
the theory that fanboys don't want girl action figures is lame. my son and every other kid he knows wants WW. Hawkgirl, Raven, Starfire, etc. from the animated shows.
if they did their research they would know that LSH fans, especially, don't denigrate the female legionnaires. AND if you are such a fan that you spend $180 on a set of figures from the 70's and 80's, you're gonna want a full set of the group.
how lame, dc direct. GIVE US shiny platinum DREAM GIRL! and Cockrum PROJECTRA!! Shadow Lass! and PG with pigtails and bell bottoms!! Shrinking Violet in her green jumpsuit! Light Lass! Dawnstar! heck give me an Emerald Empress!!

Gee, it is SO great we get Matter Eater Lad before Dream Girl, Phantom Girl, Shadow Lass and all the other women of the Legion who contributed so much more... <sarcasm>

I know toy companies are hesitant with female figures because they think 'boys' won't buy them..but at @ $200, no kids are buying this set. They should have just done it straight forward, in order of membership.

Sorry, don't mean to bitchy, and I will (somehow) get this set, but Saturn Girl AGAIN being the only Legion female figure sticks in my craw!

I love the looks of these figures.. but.. ya know.. where's Dream Girl? Lightning Lass? Phantom Girl? Arrrgh!

and oh...i'm so getting this !!! not to be a size queen but are they standard size 6-7"?

Maybe it's a bait and switch type deal...even tho they aren't my favorites, I find it hard to believe they would put Karate Kid, Wildfire and Ultra Boy all in the first set. Aren't they some of the fanboy faves?? I think they should hold off on those three and put some of the ladies in this first set. In fact, don't even put all three FOUNDERS in the first wave! Make people NEED to buy them all!
I might even skip this set if it means the next set will have Dream Girl, Star Boy, Phantom Girl, Element Lad, Light Lass, Mon-El, Shadow Lass, Sun Boy, Shrinking Violet, Dawnstar, Projectra and Blok!
Aw, who am I kidding..Ill buy them all..SOMEHOW!

It appears to me that they're going with the Great Darkness Saga costumes + Matter-Eater Lad. Which is fine with me. That's the most iconic versions for a lot of people. Hopefully that same group buys action figures so we can get more.

yes to my knowledge these will be the standard size
of the DC Classics line and I guess this will be considered a sub-line to DCUC much like the also announced Green Lantern sub-line (2 waves there).

I am curious to find out whether Colossal Boy will just be the normal size or a collect-n-connect size figure.

Have to figure out how to save up enough cash to ge this...

I haven't been able to find the source link yet, but a poster on the Mattel DCUC forum said there is a fresh interview up with the Four Horsemen (the guys who design the DCUC figures for Mattel). And apparently in this interview, they reveal that this originally intended to be a 24-pack but that it wasn't cost effective. There is also a mention that Duo Damsel was intended to be in the 24-pack.

So since this implies that another 12 Legion figures are in some phase of the design process, we will very likely see these figures at some point unless the 12-pack sells horribly.

A 24 pack?! That would have been epically awesome! I'm going to have to clear another room for all of them. Good thing I'm single again.

After looking at the photos following the link at the top of this page posted by HamzHutch, I'm really looking forward to getting the Matter-Eater Lad figure. His expression is great- and I love that he's got a big hunk of something or other in his mouth!

They should include a rock or a gun or an anvil or something with a bite taken out of it.

Garth, Clark and Rokk look pretty good- though there's something kind of... smarmy about their expressions. Maybe it's just the lighting.

I don't care for Imra's head sculpt. But then, there've been- what 4? 5? figs of her already- so they have to make her look unique, I guess.

The Hussy and her Harem-- ha! Hey, Paul Levitz--you should write a story based on the action figure release! Imra banishes all the girls and fights crime with her eleven boyfriends!

I just realized-- Garth, Jo, Brin, Rokk and Clark are all in the assortment! She really is telepathically influencing the selection of action figure production!

Half of me is excited by the prospect of 12 Legionnaire from the Cockrum/Grell/early Giffen era (most of these work for the Great Darkness Saga -- with the exception of Karate Kid, I believe).

But am very concerned that the went with almost all of the big guns in the first set and only one female.

If I don't see Phantom Girl in the second assortment, I'll be p.o.ed.

It wouldn't take much effort to modify 80s Cos into Grell's 70s version.

But yeah, the guys at Mattel should have known that Legion fans want the ladies as well.

My daughter wants these now too. No way I can afford two sets...

Isn't the Brin pictured the classic Cockrum TW? I thought he'd had his old face restored right before TGD, in one of the Broderick-drawn issues... Cockrum's definitely the way to go!

Yeah... I understand the $15 individual pricepoint, but as a 12-figure set it's a bit much. And $360 for the originally-intended 24 figure set??

Oh wow, those are looking really great. Especially Lightning Lad, compared to the rather lame look of the DC Direct figure... but hey, no magnetic pearls with Cosmic Boy this time? I rather liked this gimmick...

But I really hope that it will be possible to get them seperately. I don't need another Superboy, for example. And I think that 180 $ is a whole lot of money - even if it's possible to afford it, the question is if you really should... hm...

And I second the feelings of many here: Not enough female Legionnaires in the set. I've been dying for a Phantom Girl, Projectra or Dawnstar (especially in their sexy 70s costumes) for so long. Ah well, at least those new toys are really looking fantastic. Guess it will be impossible to skip them. Time to give my old Brainys, Superboys and Chams to my daughter...

... and hey: No Star Boy there, that's a good thing - as there just has been a Star Boy figure in his 70s costume.

Apparently in the original proposed 24 pack there wasn't just going to be a Duo Damsel but 2 of them. If they do a second 12 pack I hope they don't go with the 2 figures of DD. It would first of all take up 2 spots. I also liked her combined look.

Very happy though that we are getting anything. Great to see Matter-eater Lad already!!!
