okay. Now i am obsessing on the now defunct Combat Heroes toys. Little and Rubber and Guys (mostly) so they meet our criteria. I have been buying some up on ePay and Gammazon dot coms. I only have about 30 of them, but some just never seemed good enough to get. Now since they are getting scarce and on major clearance, I may as well try to fill some void (in my life) in my collection. My favorites are actually the different types of Viper soldiers. Anybody have an opinion on the matter?

I have the complete set of series 1-3 of Combat heroes.
My opinion is I wished the line continued. Their great.

I agree. I can understand why the line died as it only really had that one movie as a push. BUT i am at a loss as to why SHS with a cartoon and video game and comic books died (is dying). The same with TF Robot Heroes. With TF DotM coming out, you would think Hasbro would have a new line to coincide.

I think it's more a symptom of SHS blowing their wad. In the matter of just a handful of years they've released what like 300-400 individual figures? Can you think of any other line that has had such breadth in such a short period of time that was able to sustain that level of release? What I think the line did that was great though was inspire virtually every other toyline/brand to copycat the same style/scale of character. From DC to WWE to TF, Doctor Who or Scooby Doo, there are a million of these little guys out there now which can make for some very interesting display opportunities. Now if only Diamond would release Battle Beasts in this style and scale we would be all set!

BATTLE BEASTS!!!! Yes! That would be excellent. Remember those Hellboy toys? BRPD Buddies? There was only, like, 6 or 8 of them. BUT... I bought them. I wish they did a God Of War line like these. Kratos in different player colors / armor. Different Blades of Chaos or Athena or Exile. I'd buy them. Because I'm not the least bit sane.

I have only been able to find a specific special release of the Marvel Super Hero Squad figures on ebay for a crazy amount and as a picture on BING and Google.
Can anyone help me get the set with Shang Chi - Master of Kung Fu. Ahem, at a reasonable price.
