No doubt about the skin tones...at around the same time the DST Buffy figures looked like they were unfinished they were so pale. Wonder what happened there?

My cousin saw these at our TRU this week, but didn't know I was interested in them, didn't tell me about them, so we skipped TRU in our toy hunt last night. He said Kang was there, and if he's still there next week when we go up (unlikely), I might consider buying the whole wave. But maybe not, DCUC 11 is due out soon, and that's gonna eat $130.

I hope DST is aware of how well these seem to be selling. It's out of stock on the ToysRus website, selling for a fortune (and racking up plenty of bids) on E-bay, and people here seem to be in a frenzy over it, checking ToysRus stores all over the place and often coming up empty while those who can find it are buying more than one and having no trouble selling them. And DST justifies not putting out the Salt Vampire or even more regular crew figures by telling us that Star Trek figures (especially aliens!) aren't selling! mad.gif

NIIICE!! I found 1 and the paint application was messed up. Looked like they put him in the package wet sad.gif I'm heading back today to see if they have another one, crosses fingers.

Got my Kang from England today...

Nice figure:




And I couldn't resist to change the double I ordered a little bit, "My dear, Captain Kirk." wink.gif :



Oh, just a sidenote:
The "english version" of the figure doesn't come with the TRU-Exclusive sticker on the bubble...

Wow, that is an awesome Koloth! Would that be Pike's head with an added goatee?

I went to visit a friend in Fayettville, GA this weekend. We went to Toys r Us and there was one Kang right up front. I am now the proud owner of him. I couldn't believe my luck. They had all 3 waves - K & S reissues, Dress uniform K & Cage S & MM K&S. No screaming Khan Kirk or McCoy though. I couldn't believe my luck. I need to play the lottery after finding one DCU Joker & PG on Walmarts pegs here in Ohio 2 weeks ago and now this. Driving 9 1/2 hours is a little extreme though. laugh.gif

You know... looking at the picts of Kor and the New Kang, it seems that Kor's paint apps weren't very good on some of the gold bits...

I too a look at mine and it looks like yours LoT! So I got out the gold paint and touched up his Sash and belt... and boy it makes a difference!

Kor definitely didnt get the love from AA that Kang got from DST in the paint app area. The thing i like about it though is that it sets them apart so that its not just the same body with a different head on it. The accessories are different colors too, so i am happy with it.
