    Way too many Supes, Bane, and Scarecrows, that's for sure.

    I've finally gotten my hands on Darkseid! Frankly, I'm pleased that he's taller than my average DC Direct figures! The sculpt on this bad boy is definately better than the Superman/Batman version; which was based on Michael Turner's art.

    Yeah, the flexible parts (capes, Darkseid's "skirt") of my figures have had a bit of something on 'em.

    That's for sure. Of course, since the DCSH version wasn't based on Turner's art, it was scarcely possible for it to be worse.

    I'm thinking of picking up Mongul but is he the same size as Darkseid? If so, does any1 here have comparison pictures?

    He's actually just a hair taller than Darkseid. Here are some pics I took when I got mine.

    Saw the 12 inch Batman and Cyborg Supes at TRU today... The Batman was pretty good...crappy articulation though.

    WHA??? You probably could've cleaned up on eBay with that Cyborg Supes, everyone's been clamoring for it and the 6" version and to my knowledge they haven't shown up anywhere else yet.

    ARGH! They made the JLU 3-pack with Ray and Shayera a con exclusive?! That was supposed to be a retail pack last Fall, and never showed up. :mad 

    Good! Glad to see that ridiculous rumor of Cyborg Supes being an "internet exclusive" debunked.

    I'm puzzled...was the 6 inch Cyborg Supes ever released? Because the sighting was for the 12 inch version.

    Given the limited amounts of case assortments he's in, and the rate villains get snapped up around here, for me, he might as well be.

    Assuming this is in reference to Wyvern's sighting, and given that I haven't heard anything about a 12" Cyborg figure, I'd assume that the "12 inch" modifier was referring only to the Batman figure which it immediately preceded.

    Damn...didn't know cyborg supes was so in demand... crap. It didn't look too nice. Neither did Bats so I didn't bother with them. Have to go check to see if they're still there..

    Ebay:
    The 6" Cyborg Superman is in an upcoming supposed "internet exclusive" wave that just got pushed back to July. The new 12" Batman (black instead of blue) was found awhile ago and it featured a pic of the 12" Cyborg Superman on it. This is the first I've heard of him being seen and I visit 3 different figure based message boards regularly. I was sure the first sighting I'd have seen would've been on toynewsi or fwoosh...

    And to my knowledge there hasn't even been one on eBay which is odd...

    So, wait. There is a 12" Cyborg Supes? This would be the first I've heard of it.

    Tried going back to that Toys R Us but it was gone. Just a crap load of Batmen... I don't want to come off as a liar. I know what I saw. I didn't pick him up because I don't like character. I looked at batman but put him back because the articulation sucked...

    Now i'm going to have to look for this cyborg supes and take pics....

    The are where I live is known to get odd things in.... at one point we had some of the red Aramada Thrusts..

    I'm still not clear on this. Wyvern, was it a 6" or 12" Cyborg Supes?

    Really? I thought those were only ever released in Japan, Europe, and Israel.
