I've avoided buying too many Marvel Universe figures for one reason or another over the last couple years. I bought a few at first, but they didn't win me over. Lately though, the line has been getting harder and harder to resist. In the last couple weeks, I've picked up a few more and been much happier with the figures.

Vault Review: DC Universe
Action League Wave 1
Well, they got me. I was able to resist the Batman: Brave and the Bold Action League figures for two years. But when I saw the first wave of DC Universe Action League figures at my local Wal-Mart, I had to see what they were like.

Eternian Palace Guards Review
Armybuilders are a funny thing. We're so willing to buy multiples of nameless guys despite wanting only one of our favorite characters. And it certainly baffles toy companies, doesn't it? Mattel recently took a chance on armybuilding with their Eternian Palace Guards 2pk. Of course, I just had to buy two.

Vault Review:
Transformers Axor
One of my favorite Transformers figures from last year was the Revenge of the Fallen Lockdown. So when Hasbro announced they would be reusing that body for the Hunt for the Decepticons Axor figure, he definitely joined my buying list. The only problem was I just couldn’t seem to find him anywhere.

Green Lantern vs. Sinestro Review
Normally, I gobble up DC Classics releases as soon as possible. I like DC and I'll buy figures of just about anybody. Add that to the fact that I've only seen some figures once or twice, and I've learned to buy 'em when I see 'em. But this 2pk? I left it at TRU plenty of times. It just didn't seem worth it.
