It's that time of year again kiddies, time for me to run down my favorite 3 & 3/4 inch figures of the past year.  Sone changes but pretty well the same format that all the other years have had.  This time I have upped it to 50 with ten a day that works out to 5 days worth of a countdown.  So hold on to your seats and ger ready to run down my favorite figuress of the year.  

Long winded explainations here for those not initiated to the whole big deal:

Another great set of figures.  I can't tell you how much I wish I had a couple of that final TRU wave of SW figs, with Jacen and Jaina and such.  LIke most, I never found any at retail, and funny enough, not even any locally on the secondary market.  I have a huge problem paying $15-$20 per figure at cons, and that's why I passed on them at CV last August.  I've been on the fence about that Winter Soldier figure for some time now, and hearing about the CA movie version as well, I may hold off longer.

I rarely will pay that much for a fig, but I made an exception for the TRU ones cause I liked them so much. 

Winter I would wait, I got that one before the CA line anouncement and I still like him but Winter looks ten times better with Cap line.  Probably ten times easier to find too.

I like most of your choices here.  I still don't have a Ghost Rider or Nightcrawler yet, and I do love that Proxy and Shaak Ti (TFU II).

[zedhatch]

I think it's funny how TFU 2 is now out and we are still getting figs from TFU 1.  Oh well, better late than never. 

[DocOutlands]

Considering I have an hour & 1/2 drive to the closest TRU, I'll only ever acquire a Shaak Ti or K'khruk from ebay - at woefully inflated prices.  That or in a case-deal from EE.

[zedhatch]

I did a deal with a buddy of mine, it was a pain and I did pay extra for his troubles (But not scalpers price), I have the same problem as well (2 hours for me) so getting them at retail was impossible.

At the least we can take comfort in the fact that one of those stories about the dude hording the figs at TRU was for his friends who lived too far away at cost + shipping (He told me he got weird looks that day LOL).

Excellent write-ups, zed!  I've always passed on the DC line because, well, they SUCKED!  (kinda like TCW figs)  Sad to hear they *finally* started getting it right...at the very end...  Very good reading - thanks for taking the time to do all this work!

You know what I have found that your reviews and just your whole site kicks major ass bro I find myself looking forward to checking it out on a daily basis now. Very awsome truly a great site!!

[Luke Sprywalker]

Nice work Zed! I have enjoyed each update and just now making time to reply. I really enjoy your reviews! Well done!

[zedhatch]

Doc, thanks it is a ton of work, making it worse is I started very late this year so I had to cram about a month's worth of work into a week, but with snow days that became easier.  On DCIH, there was room for improvement, but the figs towards the end were a quantium leap above the first ones, I snagged many of the first ones (and to be honest I think many of them might not ever be nade in that scale  again) but I recognize how that line was low from the get go. 

Kreeper-Thanks for the kind words on my site.  I love action figures and love being able to do something with them regularly so that means a great deal. 

Luke-thanks, like I said this does take a lot to put together (I actually start in Decenber normally) and it feels great to know it is something people like.  Generally it is one of the things I get the most feedback about (and useually that lasts well into june or july for the past 2 years as people discover it).  but still it is always great to hear people enjoy it.
