The LCS had a sale:



I was torn on this one, being the Earth X version and much more "endowed" than the version I like in the comics, but on a high shelf, it's not as noticeable.  the price was definitely right on all three statues and I couldn't pass them up.

I don't think I posted pic of this one since it finally arrived.  I had to send the first one back as it had serious paint issues and lots of little scratches right out of the (huge!) box.  This one is still a little rough on the details, but is a nice companion to the Spider-Man from the same line.  This is 1:1 life-size, by the way.



edited to change pic to show scale.

I found these runmmaging through a closet recently.  I never displayed them due to the dust issues with cloth on the figures, but I'm hoping to build a glassed display case for them and some vintage GI Joe's soon.

That AVENGERS set demonstrates something I have noticed about perceptions of the show. Stepping into Mrs. Gale's shoes, Emma only wore the leather catsuit in her first season, and then only occasionally. But it seems to have encoded itself genetically when it comes to how people remember the character. Thus, even tho this set has imagery from seasons after the debut of Mrs. Peel, her figure is still in the leather!

Exactly, JB.  There was a second set  that came out a year or so later with Steed in a dark blue suit and Emma in her blue jumper with the cutouts in the sides.  And I believe they talked, too.

They sort of look like Steed and Emma in the Supermarionation Universe,
don't they!
