I assume it's any of them. I don't think these are "dollar store" exclusives so much as whatever market those types of stores are considered to be. This is the kind of product that shows up in places like drug stores and discount stores and small chains and such. What ever places were selling those single carded newsculpt figures when 25th figures were in the big box retailers will probably be selling these.

I've heard Dollar General with a price of $6 each.

I stopped at a Dollar General last week and they had Iron Man, Cap, and Spider-Man figures in Marvel Universe-like packaging for $6. The figures were those 5 POA ones that came with vehicles, a big pass.

Stopped at 2 DGs in TN yesterday and they had no idea when these figures would show up. Was told they would not know until the initial shipment arrived at the store. I am hoping late May or early June (instead of later), but would be happy with today if it happened.

I think its :robocopgun:

Honestly the more I look at these the more I'm not sure I'll want to try to track them down. The movie stuff has left me really cold on 4" Joes and with all the great 12" stuff from Hot Toys and Sideshow coming out I don't know that I want to sink my money in these when they'll most likely sit in a tub in the closet.

I'm inclined to agree with you.

I agree about the movie stuff leaving a bad taste in my mouth, but I want to support a quality product, and I think this dollar store line is better in almost all ways than where the major retail joe is currently at.

The more I look at the CC toys, the more I wish they were given the "straight" hood that was used on the CC in the third 25th Anniversary Cobra 5-pack.
