I did find a pic of the Hulk on S-Dean\'s website, but that would be a great idea.

From the sounds of it you have amassed a great collection, and it would be a shame not to share that with everyone!

Unfortunately, girl figures just don\'t sell well enough in \'standard\' lines to be worth the production cost.

However, there is at least one Starfire toy in the line:

Also, though it\'s not \'cartoon\' faithful, there are figures of both Starfire and Raven in the DC Direct figure line. They\'ve also just started a new Teen Titans line that may eventually include the two ladies (the first set contains Wonder Girl and Blackfire, the second will contain Ravager, Deathstroke\'s daughter).

Thanks, the Starfire in the link is the 3 inch. We have her and the Raven version. Raven\'s sculpt sucks. Starfires is actually very good, but her skin is to red. I thought it might just be the one I got, but every one I\'ve seen has this reddish tinge to her skin.

Anyway, could your opinion of the cartoon be tainted somewhat by your reading of the comic book? I remember the first time I saw the X-Men cartoon. Hated it! Comic books can be so much darker, so much more plot driven, and so much more violent, because teenagers and some adults read them. Cartoons have to pander to children (or more appropriately, the children\'s watchful parents). So they lose a lot in translation.

I\'d say check out the DC Direct figs, if you haven\'t seen them. Like I said, they aren\'t cartoon faithful, but they\'re very well done.

I don\'t know if \'tainted\' is the word I\'d have used. But I don\'t think it\'s the comic v. cartoon aspect as much as it is the anime-style. I simply do not like anime nor the trend to have everything \'styled\' that way. Many comics I like have been made into very good cartoons (Batman probably being the most prominent). But yes, certainly they have to be toned down to make it to a \'Y\' rating, etc.
