    what??? No Gargoyles thread?
    let's share pics.
    I got this guy, NRFP a few weeks ago, and I HAD to open him because this line is meant to be opened.

    finding loose figures WITH WINGS is almost impossible these days.

    I just sold my Gargoyles collection, but here is the pic I posted beforehand:

    I should count myself lucky to have found Goliath with his wings then. Got it pretty cheap too.

    Also, that's an impressive collection. Looks like you've got just about everyone.

    wow. I never cared for them until my friend bought me the Fire Goliath and the Ice Brooklyn(i think) back around 1997. I wish I still had those figures, they were great figures.

    Yeah, Gargoyles is still one of my favorite tv shows, but aside from the Battle Goliath or whatever its called (the one with gold armour), I wasn't overly impressed with the figures. I'd probably buy the whole main cast if I saw em cheap in person (maybe even online) though haha :)

    Most of the figures themselves were awful, made so by the gimmicks included. But a few like Lexington, Macbeth and Hudson were faithful. But I was and still am a huge Gargoyles fan. I had all the toys MISB but recently sold them to clear stuff out and make some cash. I wish something better could have been made for a more mature audience, of which Gargoyles had in spades. It would be awesome to have artists like the 4 Horsemen make updated toys using the cartoon character models ala DCUC.

    Uh, MacBeth was nothing like he was in the show. Look at my pic, he never wore that or had any drilling equipment. The toys themselves were pretty terrible. Brooklyn is probably the worst looking of them all, followed by Elisa, who looks absolutely nothing like her show counterpart.

    While I would love them to release a new Gargoyles toyline and finally finish the damn series on DVD (I consider it to be the second greatest cartoon of all time), I just do not see that happening anytime soon, which blows. I'll probably have to piratebay the second half of Season 2 since it does not look like Disney is going to move on their DVDs. Hell, they couldn't even commit to a comic book series and canned the whole thing after like 5 issues.

    No but compared to Brooklyn, or the seven versions of Goliath, he looked semi-normal despite his costume change. And I don't necessarily take accessories into consideration since this particular toyline was aimed at kids, but I too wished some of his weapons and even his hovercraft from his first appearance was included instead.

    Coldstone was such a BA figure. I thought that was so cool as a kid. They definitely need to release this entire series in a box set some how. I wish we could have gotten figures of the other Gargoyles too, the ones from the final episodes I think.

    If anything, Angela really needed a figure. Hell, I would have loved figures of the Demona clone too.

    Yeah, Angela, Delilah, the clones, the British, Japanese and Guatemalan gargoyles as well. This is this why this series needs an updated toyline, though it's wishful thinking. There are literally hundreds of characters that could've been made by the end of the second season.

    As a kid, some of my best memories are of watching this cartoon on mornings before school. I think having that griffin character from the WWII episodes would have been amazing.
