Check out this recent Imaginext DC Super Friends discovery:
When we stumbled into the "Only at Target" single-carded Two-Face figure earlier this year, I knew the guy had to show up in bigger sets eventually. They don't cast entirely unique figures like that, invent character-specific accessories, and then NOT field him in multiple playsets and packages.
We've seen this Two-Face+Safe pack at both Target and Walmart. We did not buy it because I don't think the safe itself (and the thin moneybag prop) is worth the $8 or whatever since we already have Two-Face and the coin launcher. It is a nice safe, though. Certainly makes more sense as an accessory than Joker's stupid hammer cycle. Drop the price a couple bucks and we'll get it.
We actually have two Two-Faces since Target put their single-figure packs on clearance some time ago and I thought a backup of the rarish Two-Face was worth the $1.98. He is still MIC.
But clearly, it was never Two-Face who was a Target Exclusive, but the concept of $4 figure-only packaging. Speaking of changed-up exclusives...
The new Riddler is now being packaged with that weird Riddler car. Last year, Toys R Us had an "exclusive" with that car and a very lame Riddler fig that was merely a painted up generic guy from the core, boring Imaginext line. This Riddler with the uniquely sculpted head is much nicer and in line with the rest of the figures... and now he comes with a car that is no longer a TRU exclusive.
The Green Lantern jet is becoming more and more common lately. Here's hoping all the speculator jackoffs already have their's and now the kids can actually get GL into their hands.
Although this line manages to output the usual Batman duplicates, I have to commend it for getting us up to five villains and four heroes at very reasonable costs. I'm still waiting for a female body type (is there ANY across the entire Imaginext line?) so we could get Wonder Woman and Catwoman.
