6:03 And that's the best thing about this line. They _really_ don't need to create all this new tooling for these D list characters...but they do. Between the world building and then putting their heart & soul into characters that no one would ever ask for is pure love man.

[@awcasper]

I remember bug man. It was the one character that I really wanted, but they never made

[@southerndevil08]

I changed my mind getting them.

[@ivazquez71]

Bug Man’s scorpion tail should be pointing the other way.

[@terrillealvin860]

Sweet

[@timdakis2107]

I hope we get Brick Bradley (Bugman's Human Form) with the Swatter (Jerry Spiegel) as figures.

[@CandGoods]

I was gonna say this. The main thing missing from this pack is pieces for a powered-down Brick Bradley, but that would probably require too many different pieces to work as a swap-out option. Different shoulders, different head, different feet, different torso without the torn holes on his back. Pack that with the Swatter, and you're golden.

[@timdakis2107]

@@CandGoods I was wondering where's his normal human head to put on.

[@Cabooselover79]

My thought was that when we'd get Bugman he'd be an Ultimate for that reason (all the swapping needed) but yes give us the swatter and zin Brick Bradley

[@MnemonicSyntax]

Great review. I don't drink coffee though.

[@camm2795]

Great review! I wonder when these will be made available to international fans. Anyone know? NECA seems to have abandoned Aussies

[@ivane5110]

I have a faint memory of this hero and none of his archvillain, but I like the Silver Age comic vibe they have, especially the villain. And in keeping with that I like the vivid colors and lack of modern extreme shading. I even liike the solid black lines on the wings and costumes; but the lines on the faces and body to show muscle are a bit odd-looking to me. I get completley what theyre going for though. And compared to more modern, grimmer figures these are easily a hit for me. I wish they'd done like theses back in the 60's & 70s for all of the Hanna-Barbera and Filmation cartoons I waited each week for. And icing on the cake is the touch of meta it has, with the comic.

[@powermasterjazz]

Dang. I was almost done with this line, because they were such a pain to find. Now that they're much easier to find, I'm back in.

[@ToyShiz]

If you’re outside the US I totally understand. In the US, for 2+ years now, nothing has been hard to find for this line.

[@Chalor.]

​@@ToyShiz Pshhhh, I wish man. I mean you're totally right as long as you get on Target's site the moment they put the stuff up. As far as going in the store, my locations have cut back 70% of the NECA stuff when they did the remodels last year. With the last big drop not too long ago, never saw any of that in store, but at least I've seen a couple of the least desired items from this new drop. It used to be gravy in my area with getting all the latest items. Obviously I'm livin' in a bizarro area lol.

[@andrewjoustra8726]

Which version of the turtles came with the little Bugman comics?

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

Shouldn't Bugman have a human head?🤔🤨🙄🤷

[@Chalor.]

Yes! You should be able to pop off the insect protrusions, then remove that head to put on their human one. I mean especially since the scales are really off balanced with the accessories. And I (like I'm sure most of us) would've been fine paying a little more to get those much needed parts. Maybe the whole point is a future release with that look, so we'll have to double dip.

[@iLLWiLL173]

No idea why they would release these 2 random characters before releasing wyrm or Tempestra ....weird ...lol

[@ToyShiz]

Tempestra yes. Wyrm was never in the cartoon.

[@iLLWiLL173]

@@ToyShiz true he wasn't but it would make a better 2pack to have him together with Tempestra but I'm hoping they do a Tempestra in an ultimates box with tons of accessories (like and arcade machine)

[@ToyShiz]

@iLLWiLL173 she’d def make for a great single release. Honestly there’s not many characters left outside of the obscures and the later seasons switch up villains. I’d like to see a Mafia 3 pack with the shows gangsters that would be dumb and fun.

[@TurtleC0mic]

@@ToyShizthe red sky season is what I’m waiting for! Red sky turtles and april and We need figures for season 8 the best season!
