Four years ago this week Jason and I launched Action Figure Insider.  We started off small, and behind the scenes the site was held together with chicken wire and a lot of prayer, but with the help of some amazing and talented people.. friends, we’ve grown AFi into something really cool that we are all really proud of.

And much like our humble beginings we’re going to start off our 4th  Anniversary Extravaganza/4th annual Scoop Week small as well.  Small on an atomic level, namly The Atom.

There have been a lot of questions about Mattel’s DC Universe Classics Atom mini figure that is shipping in DCUC Wave 8 with the Gentlemen Ghost figure.  How big is it?  Is it articulated? Is it the original figure shrunk down?  Will it be on a base? Will it be the Ray Palmer costume?

So far we’ve only seen the 2-up of the original Wave 5 figures in the NYCC 09 presentation as a place holder image and a very small picture of his head and shoulders peeking out from behind the chip insert on a carded sample that showed up on Ebay last week, but our friends at Mattel have now sent us turn-arounds of the figure so we can get a better idea of what we are getting.
