Oooh, do want. Managed to score the first Scrooge figure locally, and on sale none the less. The prices on these little gems puts me off of collecting them as a whole, but I'd certainly consider whipping the wallet out again if they did a Glomgold, or another great Scrooge sculpt in this series.

Yeah, the first Scrooge seems to have been a good investment. You cannot buy him now for under $125.00 - (I've seen them sell for $300.00!) The first Donald seems to be selling well also. The others not as healthy. I scored my Gyro for full price, but got #10 out of 650, so I was happy with that!

It's great seeing all these new Dark Horse duck figures coming out. I actually like the way they're made to look old with the worn look and sort of sloppy with the seam. If you use some imagination they almost feel like an old toy that was made back when the original comic books were printed. I'm curious, though, from the photo we can see, what does anybody else think of this first Uncle Scrooge coming out in the second series? (I'm especially glad they're going to add the nephews. I wish they'd do a Woodchuck!)
Maybe it's me but for for some reason it doesn't quite excite me. Scrooge's hat doesn't quite look like the drawing, I don't care for the colors too much, and the gold and dirt on the ground doesn't look realistic. I'm just judging by the photo, but I'd be curious what other people think? Patrick www.PatrickHanifin.com

Yes, I feel that the sculpt could have matched the drawing much more closely in many ways. But still, it is what it is, and still desirable.
Where did you guys see and hear about the other upcoming series 2 releases w/ 3 different Scrooges, HD&L and a Donald from Lost in the Andes? Is there a website? I do not see it on the dark Horse site.

Amazon lists this as "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be BACK in stock." Did they have this available for pre-order and then ran out?

It's in the top article. I just went ahead and pre-ordered from Entertainment Earth...The first series went so fast I just gave up hunting bargains...

I had already bought the Uncle Scrooge and really liked him. Then I won a Donald for $20.50 on eBay. That hooked me! I started searching and found someone near me who had the other four at a good price. I drove over today and got Gladstone, Gyro with Helper, Magica De Spell, and the Beagle Boy. I can't begin to tell you how much I like these!
They're all the right scale together and look great as a group. There's lots of detail to them. I personally like the distressed look with the seams showing like an old toy. I've owned different Barks bronzes and the Always Another Rainbow figure. Also, at one point I had a huge Uncle Scrooge figurine collection and used to publish a fanzine called The Duck Hunter. I can't think of anything that was ever as well done as these for the money.
I know $50 is steep for many people, but these are done with the right spirit and in my opinion, worth it. These are exceedingly well executed to look like the Barks characters, fun, and you can enjoy them. They're not just something you spend $2500 or more on that's sits in a glass case never to be touch or handled. Name another quality Barks type figure you could even begin to buy for $50? Believe me when you see these and handle them they are so much nicer than you'd expect from the photos.
