Webstor Review

I love Kobra Khan. He's probably my favorite evil character. Why's that important? Well, him and Webstor used to hang out together. A lot. In the cartoons. In the mini-comic. Heck, I think they were in She-Ra together too. The one place they weren't together? Well, my house. Yeah, I never had everyone's favorite arachnid evil master. I just didn't like the toy back then. I remember being at Sears and passing it up more than once. There's a handful of toys like that: the G.I. Joe Swampmasher, Metroplex, Astrotrain. Toys, for some reason or another, that my child mind passed on.

Mr. Rant asks “Why does the gun barrel point sideways?”

So Webstor is here, and Noisy will have his review up soon, but I wanted to comment on a disturbing trend I’ve noticed in the last few MOTUCs. One of the benefits of having friends that like similar things is that you can split the cost of shipping. It also works out for the site. If one of us gets a figure that didn’t fare too well on the factory floor, maybe it was badly painted, or maybe it somehow broke in the box, or in shipping, then we have a couple other versions of that figure to choose from for the review. It’s a pretty good arrangement, at least until everyone gets a figure with problems.

Some folks tend to avoid the internet on the weekends. If you're one of them and you collect DC Classics, you might have missed a few important news items. On Thursday, we relayed Matty's message about DCUC9 shortages and then watched as the prices on eBay climbed accordingly. We're in between on how difficult this wave will be to find. Vault stumbled onto a case at his TRU on Wednesday and found the first half of his Chemo set. That filled the rest of with hope that this wave won't be a repeat of DCUC5 which none of us ever saw at retail, but we won't know for sure until the sightings dry up.

Most Requested Figures: Ghostbusters Minimates

Sometimes as toy collectors, we can look across our displays and only see the toys that aren’t there. They are the missing figures. The characters toy companies never got around to, never thought were important enough, or worse – the figures companies felt the need to show us at comicon in the “We’re Never Gonna Make These” case. Saturdays are for these figures…

We here at ItsAllTrue.Net were happy to find Wave 2 at TRU over the weekend and the Ghostbusters shelf is filling up pretty quickly for such a relatively new toyline. We looked ahead to see which figures were still to come and were surprised to find that we're only six figures away from the "current" end of the line. And barely that, since two of the six are identical to ones we have, and three are different versions of characters we already have. That leaves Gozer, if you're counting with us.
