Just hearing of these.  There are three Targets nearby and my wife volunteered to stop by after work and clear them out, so here's hoping.

 

Other than some cool SW calendars I've never really paid attention to that little $1 area at the front of the store.  That changes now.

Well the one day I plan to walk over to Target and its raining?  In LA? C'mon man it never rains in LA!

 

Sucked it up and I went anyway - and man they had like a million bags of these!  They also had some of the princess series and a few of the animal sets.

 

I grabbed two hero bags without any regard to checking for a complete set coverage so we will see if I get lucky........

 

Also made the bad choice of heading down the Lego aisle.  Now I have to figure out how to stash these boxes while the old lady is in the shower tonight. 

 

Oh the life of an illicit toy smuggler..............

The bag of figures you got from Riddler's Crap sale has a few of these guys in it.

Anyone have the missing two? 

 

This perfectly reasonable ebay auction does!

 

Thank you

Yeah, just got some the other day.  I've gotta say, the material is a real turn off, and the sculpts aren't exactly doing it for me either.   :(

I like the sculpts more or less, but I haaaaate the plastic they're made from. Still, better than nothing when it comes to modern mono minis. They're no SLUG Zombies...  :p

Yeah man, Slugs are way up there for me.  I'm talking mid-80s, gross-out style, Toxic Avenger level.  I went hog wild with that line, clearing out store after store and buying cases directly from the back rooms.

Those sculpts, that material....I mean, c'mon - The friggin Three Stooges!?!

In an ocean of cutesy crap lines and junk, seeing the Slugs was a real breath of fresh air and a step in the right direction.  

 

Was/am crushed that it's apparently all over.   :(

 

Maybe if they rehashed the line it would sell better in the current climate?   Easy:  You could grossly enlarge the heads, hands, and feet, and they'd also need dopey/vapid smiles and blank staring eyes!   

;)
