unreleased A-Team figures

Wow. Actually pretty good. I wonder why these didn't hit as a store exclusive/online exclusive when the rest came out. What are the chances that these were made and will see the light of day, albeit at Ross or Ollie's etc.?

They might have been a Japanese exclusive set. This is where I saw them...

If there were a wave 2 I would have expected to see these in the U.S.
I doubt Ross or any other discount store will get any.
I believe there was a European or U.K. exclusive 3 pack too.

Wasn't there an announced wave 2 with a female character?

Those aren't bad, would've liked a set. Too bad retail support was "LASER BLAST" on this line.

Yeah even Walmart didn't carry it! That right there probably did it in.

I had no idea these came out anywhere. Not bad looking.

Target and TRU couldn't get rid of their peg warmers fro well over a year. Some TRU still have that van on semi-clearance.

I like the Hannibal from that set. That is about it. Maybe Face just to have one without the suit.

WalMart doesn't make or break toylines. WalMart barely even sells toys, and they even more rarely keep stock up on the stuff they do carry. WalMart sucks butts

Wow. Nice find. I agree with pluv. Hannibal and Face would be good to have.

I have to wonder why they cut it down to just 3. It seems so weird to do a set at all if it doesn't include the whole team.

Now I have to wonder if there is anything else out there....or if there will be any odd foreign/exclusive Mortal Kombat figures.

This press release actually mentions this set.

I thought they did make these as small single-pack figures? I know the large Hannibal figure was one of the worst action figures put out the past 5 years, and that probably didn't help the line's sales.

By "that", I mean the quality of some of the work done on the line. Sculpts were good in the small scale though.

Really? My Target moved the figs to clearance within weeks of initially putting them out. I nabbed a ton of Face figures that way. They never pegwarmed at any stores in my area. The van sat for awhile longer than the figures at Target I guess, or was it TRU? Was it TRU that had them on the surprisingly ridiculous clearance, or Target? Whichever one had them down to $6 - yeah, those moved quick. lol. Some of them to me. the other one had them for awhile.

Now the 12" figs? Those might still be at my TRU somewhere. :lol:

I wish I'd seen this film when it came out because I may have bought the toys. I finally got to see it recently and enjoyed it far more than I ever did the goofy TV series. The TV show always had to be kid-friendly while the film was more genuine military.
