Anyone in the know know if Mister Miracle and Big Barda have been solicited yet by Diamond? Or are they too recent in England to be available here yet?

Don't feel too bad Brad.  After looking at the figurine thread, I started a little late for the Marvels, but I've been catching up. 
I've got all my DC's.  All my figerines now they sit in my closet, waiting to be set out after I've finish up my BradCave.  It shall be soon, very soon!

I've no intention of catching up! I just want a few little "mini-sets" or groups to have around. I won't get the rest of the JLI for instance, because Blue Beetle and Booster Gold work well just as a pair. 

I'd like the rest of the Secret Six if they come out, but Bane and Deadshot are pretty good as a duo. 

Maybe Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, and Ted Grant as a trifecta, but I won't go hog wild with the entire JSA. 

Just my own "complete" groupings.

Plastic Man is a disappointment. There's something a bit too literal in the interpretation. A limitation of the materials, most likely.

My version of the same idea: LINK

Not enough of a fan of the character to add this one to my collection as a "just to be complete". I've skipped far more of the DC releases than the Marvel's.

I order all mine through DCBS. Mister Miracle was in the March preview and they have it listed in the 'my shipment' tab as of this morning, along with the LOBO Special and 2 Marvel figures...

Just received my "Batman on the Rooftop" from my man in England off the eBay site.  Looks sweet (except the belt, like the old style better, oh well) .  I'm slowly filling in all my figurines.  Only DC one I need is Captain Marvel.  Still plenty of Marvel ones to pick up.


*4200!  Yay!

Picked up Bane, Alan Scott Green Lantern, Jay Garrick Flash, and Blue Beetle today. 

I own 6 so far, with Mister Miracle (my 7th! Already!) coming next week. Bane might get a little custom job. I was prepared to accept the Bat cowl in his hands (even though I love him in Secret Six, he did start as a fifth rate Bat Villain) but not for the fact that he's BLUE. His mask, his shirt, his pants... BLUE. 

Shouldn't they be black? They're black on the DC Direct figure I have. They're black in the current comics. They're black with blue highlights during Knightfall. I guess Eaglemoss never got that memo.

Of course, the Alan Scott is BEAUTIFUL so it more than evens out.
