Sauron is supposed to look like a pteranodon, yes?
••
Pretty much. He's got human arms and more humanized legs, and does not
have the flap of skin between them. But other than that. . .

His origin was told in a couple of pages. Pretty compelling. Like a short horror story in the middle of the X-men comic. One of my favorite Adams.

I know some of you guys collect the JUSTICE LEAGUE/JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED animated-style action figures. Does anyone know of a good, up-to-date site that has a comprehensive list of figures released-to-date... maybe even upcoming figures too?
Thanks for any help.

Couple more Muggs. Definitely going to have to come up with a separate
display for them! They're taking over!
The paint job on Iron Man is quite impressive. One has to be quite close
to him to see that the helmet is not sculpted, and those "hollow cheeks"
are just painted shadows.
Noticed after taking the picture that the elastic strip that held him in the
package is still 'round young Mr. Parker's neck!

That Peter Parker Mugg is terrific! The glasses, tie, vest, hair -- Ditko!

1. I had completely forgotten Sauron's name in the comic book was from Tolkien! I'd just been thinking it was from the Greek for lizard via dino-saurs. Hmph! I haven't read that origin in many decades, but still... brain failure.
2. I notice that Francoise Mouly was the colorist -- that's Art Spiegelman's wife (not sure if she was then.) Another hmph!
3. I have an immense affection for JB's X-Men work from those days, and I still like that opening page for many reasons, but... MAN, would I love to see JB re-do Wolverine jumping out at Sauron now!

Marc, here's a visual checklist including some of the upcoming
JLU figures. (found on the 'net)
It's 'fan-made' and it includes some Batman series figures
that aren't technically JLU figs.
(Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, Two-Face, Penguin, Catwoman)
-NO custom-made figures though.
