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

Ordered a set too. Inrternational shipping is quite reasonable... Like 9.99

wowowowowowoo got them today!!! four fantastic figures!!

Mine are on their way too. should take a bit longer for me to get them though.

Got all ten sets of mine yesterday!

Mine should be here tomorrow! I wish I had ordered some stands-- maybe with the next set (here's hoping there'll be one!)

Let's see- who appeared in the JLU episode? Cham was in the Superman episode- so he could... Bouncing Boy was there... Wildfire? Either Shadow Lass or Phantom Girl for the girl slot.

They have started doing characters that never appeared in a DC animated show... so Element Lad, Luornu, etc. and etc. could get a shot.

Wonder if they'll ever release figs based on the Legion cartoon? That are designed to look like those characters through a JLU lens?

Woot! The UPS truck was pulling away just as I got home!

But Saturn Girl has this giant mutant eyebrow. Someone got a little sloppy while painting. Anyone know how good Mattycollector's customer service is for returns? The others look great, but I don't know if I can live with this. It's not that bad, I suppose, but for what I paid, I want perfection, darn it!

Got my set today. Look reeeally sharp!

I recieved my set a couple of days ago and they all look great. It's just neat having a cockrum styled Lightning Lad! Might have to order another set. BTW there are pics floating around of a Doom Patrol set that looks like a must have for me.

Hey haven't been here in a while, real life was crazy...@_@

Oh man I'm so glad they are not sold out! Just ordered a set. So it only took like a max of 5 days it seems for most of you to get yours...and I did order on a Saturday, so there is a delay there. Hopefully I'll get them by the end of the week?

I still haven't received mine. I know that International shipping is long, but it's getting worrying. Hope it won't mean I'll have to pay extra to UPS when they deliver, but it sure looks that way with the delay.

Just ordered my set!!

Got them in the mail today....and gonna have to send them back.

Brainy's forehead symbol is almost not there and smudged and Cosmic Boy's hair is smeared down. And Saturn Girl's has one eyebrow higher than the other, but if that were the only problem out of the four I would have kept them cause I find that kinda funny...

They are sending a new one out, but I gotta pay my own shipping to get it back to them. They tell me the whole process will take about 3 weeks.

But on the up side they say they almost never get a second call about this once a replacement is sent out.

Matter-eater man, the number is at the top of your order slip. 1-877 GO MATTY.

Still no set arriving

Hang in there dude. International shipping is s-l-o-w, and it took over 3 weeks for mine to arrive (and I'm just over the boarder in Canada) but they finally came in last week. They were well worth the wait too as they look great!

We should start a thread here regarding which 4 should be the next Legionnaires made by Mattycollector...
My vote would be for the next to join the team chronologically after the founders and Brainy, so: Triplicate Girl, Phantom Girl, Chameleon Boy and Sun Boy.

Those of you that purchased multiple sets want to be sure and check that you got one of each of the characters. I got two Saturn Girls and no Brainy. So I had to send the whole set back and am now awaiting the arrival of the replacements.

I like future king's idea of following the chronology of the team for issuing future Legionnaires, but that would take a bit of the fun of surprise out of it, wouldn't it?

Also, I think they'll likely issue those characters that appeared in the JLU episode before branching out to those that didn't. They've certainly begun to pick characters that didn't appear in the cartoon, so they could well choose any LSH character for the next wave.

My personal picks would be Element Lad, Sun Boy, Shadow Lass and Chemical King. But really, I'll just be happy to finally see *any* Legion girl other than Saturn Girl or Supergirl finally get made.

Good point, ML. The Legion had strong female role models before just about everybody else and they weren't just there as eye candy they were important characters in the stories (even though the standard 60's cliches were prominent). I think they deserve recognition.

Yay! Mine came today. Love them.

Not so keen on the additional Custom charge that accompanied them but these things happen.

Hope they make more as I would especially like to see a Triplicate Girl/Bouncing Boy four pack.

Got mine just fine here in Brazil.

Just got my replacement set. I like each of them. Brainy's blueish skin read 'wrong' to me, so I've decided to think of him as Brainiac 6- the son of Querl Dox and Shadow Lass.

I think he and Lightning Lad have the best faces. Brainy's eyes are especially well done- they sort of disappear if you tilt the head down slightly and he really appears to glower.

Garth reminds me of the actor who played Dawson on DAWSON'S CREEK. Not fond of the dark hair color, I think I'll repaint- something I've done to several figures, with varying results. In general, figs of characters who are blond or red-haired are made using what I think of as too dark a color.

Does anyone else think this?

I'm guessing they didn't want Brainy to clash with green lantern and green arrow. Supergirl was an unusual kid, she liked her greens

Thanks! They arrived after 5 weeks (incredibly slow for international mail, normally takes 2 weeks between the US and the UK) and I had to pay $20 at arrival for the customs.

I and two other Legion fans are working on an article we plan to send to Mattel regarding how we'd like to see the Legion represented in the DCUC line.

Basically, we plan on requesting 12 characters initially and more as needed. The article will be updated weekly until we have the first 12 members.

Then, we'll continue with discussion and lists of C&Cs, variants, villains, more Legionnaires, etc.

The same thing happened to me (I live in London.) It took the excitement out of getting them!

Action Figure Pictures and TheFwoosh.com have, finally, posted an interview with Scott Neitlich, the man in charge of the DC lines at Mattel. In answer about other teams that might begin to show up he states:
This does not guarentee that LSH figures are on the way but does show that Scott noticed the sales numbers of the LSH JLU set and that LSH is being considered, in some form, for the DCUC line.

The interview can be found here

We're up to our eighth installment of who Mattel should include in the DCUC line.

Here's a link to the article from week 7:

We'll be passing all of the articles on to guys at Mattel once we wrap it up in a few more weeks.
