I'm excited to see these new pieces! Why is there a new Robin sculpt with NO cape??!!

Thanks jojomanzo for the pics!

I'm definitely in for the Fortress of Solitude. That said, Imaginext needs to let the Batcave thing go. I suppose they're really not selling to collectors, and kids tend to move out of the line and on to other things, but still. That's a lot of Batcaves in the last 2-3 years.

I do not like the new Robin and again no cape!

I did watch a video on youtube about that white batsignal thing that Batman is inside of. It is some kind of camera, and when pointed at parts of the Batcave, bring it to life. I am not sure how I really feel about that. It's kind of odd, you will need to just watch the video.

went back to Walmart, and found an aquaman sitting under some Batcaves that were laying on their side. Just need Cyborg now. And the discontinued Superfriends superman

Hey CJF28......my son had started collecting these guys about 2yrs ago.

Where did you find The Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) ?

Is that Super Friends Hal a custom? And where did you find the Hero World Aquaman? He's the only one I can't seem to find.

While we seem to all be waiting to see what new Imaginext we might be getting at Toy Fair I thought I'd ask a question. What new Items would you like to see come out this year?

I know what I'd like to see...

Larry.....I loved your GG figure so much, I had to try it myself

Ra's Al Ghul

Thanks again for the inspiration

Having really gone all in with the DC Imaginext stuff over the last couple years, I have to say that I can't get over the irony of it all. Mattel's fallback argument on DC lines for like 10 years was, "We can't make vehicles or playsets because kids don't buy that stuff!" Meanwhile, after years of playsets, redone playsets, repainted playsets, 5 different Batmobiles, and 3 different Batcaves, Imaginext (the line that is geared 100% towards kids) is still going strong.

Love the pics of new product, but another Batcave?!?! Seriously? :roll:

The Fortress of Solitude is a bit of a disappointment but I do like the new figures. I do agree Robin needs a cape.

I'm working on a few customs, including a more 'proper' Robin. For those interested in easily putting a cape on their child's Robin, you can simply heat the Robin in boiling water for 20-30 seconds or so and his head will easily pop off. I removed a cape from an extra Batman figure by that same method and placed it onto my son's Robin. Pop the head back on and the cape is securely in place. Here's a pic of his figure:

Real simple... takes a couple of minutes to do! I'll be posting some pics soon of a few customs I'm working on.

Here are some of my extra Imaginext/Playskool figures that are slowly taking over the top shelf of my computer desk! :mrgreen:

Cool.
I figured the Fortress of Solitude would just be a repainted Moon Base, like the one used for the Batman Moonbase. Painted white it would look good.
The Batcave looks cool, although I'm getting tired of buying Batcaves.Zod is cool.

Yeah... I will definitely pick up the Superman playset, but would've much rather seen an actual 'arctic' fortress playset.

It's nice to get some new news and get back to talking about the toy line!

It blows my mind how no one really covers the Imaginext line at these shows.

The new Batcave looks cool, the Fortress is OK. I do like the Zod figure. Did you notice the Monsters Inc figure behind the Batcave? In the back right corner.

I don't think my son would want any, but I still would like to see them.

Here is the Monsters Inc Imaginext - http://toyfair13.asmzine.com/gallery/ma ... 07017.html

But I picked up the Spin Master Monsters Inc, and they are really nice... kind of match the Super Hero Squad

Yes, the Hal is a custom.

Also, Aquaman is on Amazon for $18 with a submarine and free shipping

Hey, Davis. Didnt realize until tonight you're from Rumorbusters as well.

The Hal is a custom.

I loved the marvel line. They just seemed so hard to track down, I passed. Love the spider-girl though.
