Look in the clearance area or on an end of an aisle - they were on clearance here for $0.50 a few weeks ago...I bought my boys 10 each. :D They made up a game using them...and now they want more.

Dam, they are probably long gone by now. I hadn't thought much of them untill my son said he wanted some...then they were gone.

Mine had them. Don't think they're there anymore. I'll look when I'm in there looking for that Corps copter.

Yeah, I'm thinking all WM's probably did this. eBay is useless, people selling them for 50 cents plus three dollars S+H.
I suppose I could contact the company that made them. :/

What body are you using for Bats? I have a couple heads, I can try them on the body and see how they look. I know a couple are too tiny.

K-tiger, thanks anyway for checking. :)

And thank you Slayer! If you do check your second location and find them, I'm looking for at least 20, but I'll take what I can get.

I'll try them out on Punisher.

Sorry, the DCIH heads are tiny and look like something out of Beetlejuice. The only one that looks good is the Movie 4" head, which like someone else said, you can still find those in the stores, and/or on clearance/dollar stores.

Would either of these work? I got them in a lot and have no use for them.

I've got a Tom Baker head sculpt, so one of the casters was shrinking at least some of the 5" Docs. If we find out who we may be able to see if they did Tennant.



Mind you, I've heard rumors that Underground Toys is rethinking it's stance on no 4" figures of pre-11th Doctor characters, so a legit Tennant head might be coming. Then again, it will probably be undersized, so let's go with plan A!

I know Hunter Artworks cast a Tom Baker.

Did they make any figures of Tennants Harry Potter character?

Barty Crouch Jr.? Nah. No one did a figure of him.


My Baker is definitely one of Hunter's. I see he did two of those and then a 5th Doctor, but that's it.

I've seen a few Paratroopers on ebay for pretty cheap. Might have to pick one or two up. They'll also work for background characters for some Cap antics.





Try here:

They have all the Charlie Company figures, apparently.


I can't vouch for this place.

You're not paying just for the Thompson, they'll have a removable pistol belt with gear, and one or two helmets. The helmets may be the plug type, and if they are you'll need to hollow them out.
