Do You Collect Figures or Statues?

Toy Fair NY started today. Link to photos.

Looks like some cool stuff for the geek set.

Some pretty cool stuff. Nothing really jumped out at me, though. I wanna get a couple of the new Alex Ross Justice figures....ie - Lex Luthor, and the battle armor Green Lantern.

Also, looks like that Superman Doomsday flick is coming out in October. I'm excited for this one. It looks like it's gonna be done in the same style as the Superman: The Animated Show....which'd be awesome.

I've managed to pickup a few of the Justice figures and they look as good in person as they do in previews which is not always the case. They will definitely make a nice addition to your collection.

I am dying to know who is in the next set...

I want to marry these toys.

Some of those Elseworlds are mighty tempting... Maybe on the cheap at a con.

Well, your choices capture so well the original artistry of Darwyn Cooke, and the GL is arguably the best of the lot, somebody chose wisely for you. For that much quality at that price point, that's sweet. I was drawn to the black and white Batmans, and found about two or three that looked good, but that's due to who I prefer as an artist (which the statues are based on).

I think the ears on this one pick up XM radio:

Is this really how Tim Sale drew him? What was he thinking?

I have two "nitpicks" -- For the smaller figures, like the Superman Doomsday ones which are pretty cool, I don't see the reason why they have the leg joints, when you obviously can't pose them much beyond the way they're standing already -- so they just look like they got a majorly thick jock strap on under the tights.

And for the larger ones that actually have costumes made of cloth, two things I don't like: fabric will not hang properly unless you go up to 18" at least, and if you need those stands to make sure they can stand on their own, it just ruins the effect. They could go taller, get the cloth hanging right, make it so they can stand on their own, and still stay at about the same price. If some punk like me can do that, why can't they? I like the Shazam/Captain Marvel 13" collectors, even though it's a perfect example of my nitpicks ruining an otherwise fabulous figure --

(his cape strap looks like a noose, pity to see a blemish on a beauty)

And what the heck is all that bright blue in the Batmans in the 13" collectors set? What year is it?

That said, this is pretty hot:

and anybody got this guy's phone number? He's hot. My vote for best done hair, I like a guy with a nice haircut:

While waiting for the New Frontier Series 2 details, I have decided that I kinda really, really want this:
