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

at Pov - buy two Chameleon Boys...then you can repaint him the Cockrumite outfit! hee hee.

I think the reason that the remaining figures from the 12 pack aren't being displayed is that the Four Horsemen have not finished the sculpting process on them.

To clarify, the four figures yet to be shown (as Colossal Boy said, likely due to having not been sculpted yet) are Karate Kid, Mon-El, Ultra Boy, and Colossal Boy. Star Boy isn't among their number, unless the slots have changed.

Personally, with how much this set has been pushed back and with how it's still a secondary work-in-progress for the Four Horsemen, I was hoping Mattel might have heard the outcry from fans half a year ago and changed the last few slots over to some Legion ladies. Nura and Ayla in their 80s outfits come to mind as simple repaints using the existing Imra body (minus the skirt piece). I almost wish they'd go that route. I could see Mon, Val, and Jo surviving in regular waves of DC Universe Classics easily. Plus, their inclusion in a regular wave could help justify the inclusion of their compatriots who otherwise we may never get to see - Shady, Jeckie, and Tinya.

Wishful thinking, probably. Still excited for this set and will support it regardless. I'm glad Cham is in his yellow/purple outfit just so the team has a more unified look, minus 70s Timber Wolf. Believe Mattel hasn't said anything since the report a few months back that the Legion set was coming late summer 2011.

The remaining figures are Karate Kid, Ultra Boy and Colossal Boy. Mon-EL isnt in the set.

Whoops, you're correct. My numbers were off. I forgot the first unveil had five Legionnaires instead of four, like this time. Which I'm fine and glad by. Mon-El will do good on his lonesome.

I love the sculpts on these figs. Brainy's face is exactly how I picture it, based on the various artists of the '70s. And I love Wildfire's boots! So cool that they really went for the swashbuckler tops. Gotta say though, isn't Drake rather ripped for someone who's a shapeless ball of anti-energy?

Wish they had gone with Cockrum's design for Chamelion Boy instead of Giffen's. Hopefully CB and KK will be more Cockrum/Grell goodness.

I, too, was disappointed to see that Cham's outfit didn't match the image shown at SDCC. I never liked Giffen's tweaks to Cockrum's work. I can live with (and customize) the dreadful violet/yellow combo, but if they dare go with Giffen's (downgrade) Colossal Boy pajamas over Cockrum's spiffy outfit, they'll be Hell to pay!!!

I know they haven't even been mentioned yet, but Phantom Girl and Shrinking Violet must both be 70s outfits. I can live with Element Lad in his horrid magenta/black combo, but would prefer the green/dark blue/black Cockrum version.

Frankly, I want to see Imra in her bikini eventually.

yeah, cause a Giffen Karate Kid figure would be really puffy and bruised looking.

I need this set, I hope I have the coin for it once it's finally announced when exactly it's going to come out.

Current ETA for this set is August 15th, 2011.

So if you start saving from scratch now, AL, you need to set aside $30 a month... then there's shipping.

Thanks for the quick breakdown...that is doable for me...

More than a few DCUC collectors are saying that the money they're saving on not getting much from waves 17 and 18 will be spent on the boxed set.

I hope that sells warrat a second boxed set -- and more of the Fatal Five in the CnCs.

Am I correct that we have a Validus action figure? I remember seeing that one from one wave that you get to assemble each part of the action figure like 2 arms, torso, head, 2 legs...then voila a full action figure assembled!

Not sure I can even make that, until I'm able to go back to work. Which doesn't appear like it's going to be anytime soon.

*edited to add*

Yes, Validus was the BOF for Series 15 of DC Universe Classics.

saw the prototypes of Superboy, Karate Kid, Wildfire, Chameleon Boy, Brainiac 5, Timber Wolf....and they all look so GOOD!!!! ah....the card said that they would be out in Fall 2011. Fall 2011...oh...*rubbing hands* (it all was in a display window at Wonder Con in SF)

How does one buy stuff off of the Mattel website?

Do they take paypal or do you have to have a credit card?

When are they taking orders for the Legion set?

And did anyone get the new TYR action figure from Wal-Mart besides me?

I saw it a couple of months ago and I had to pick it up. I always wanted a Super Powers Tyr figure, but was too cheap to pursue it. This newer figure is much better IMO, and matches the DC Direct Legion figures in size.

Oddly enough, I think the scary Eighties yellow/purple works better in 3D than it did in 2D.

As my local comic book store does not see itself capable to get me the set, I'm going to order directly in the US - quite interesting experience to order something from over the Atlantic ocean.

What do you think, will we have to be quick once the box set is announced, or will I have time to wait for a better exchange rate?

Anyway I saw some pictures of Wildfire and Lightning Lad and ME Lad and I think those toys are simply amazing - maybe the best action figures I've EVER seen... though definitely lacking some females.

Check out the upcoming Legion figures that were on display here .

Be warned the images are large (don't have my sizing programs on this computer). The packaging is the clubhouse. And notice Invisible Kid, Proty and the Flight Ring.

YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!!
