Which is a bummer as they were pretty cool! Sadly I’ve moved a couple of times since then, and have no idea where any of them are. Which is a bummer as they were pretty cool!

That's something that frequently annoys me about Legion merchandise. A good part of the Legion's appeal are the female Legionnaires, as well as the couples (though I don't think the animated series has touched that aspect) and, somehow, when the Legion is merchandised its treated as any other franchise. I know there's a lot of common wisdom to battle, but why licence a franchise and skip over a major aspect of its appeal? That's like making a Catwoman movie that doesn't have the slightest connection to Batman Returns. Dorthea, I empathize. That’s something that frequently annoys me about Legion merchandise.

On the Mcdonald's toy front. Perhaps you can get lucky like I did years back when Jack in the Box had some Justice League toys. The manager there let me buy the toys which was nice, as I had a number of people that wanted them. Amusingly including the creator of one of the characters, who I couldn't believe didn't get a comp one. Looks like a nice rental to see the extras.

WB seems to always do this with first season episodes. They put out some random DVDs and then put out a 2-disc season set about a year or so later. I think I'll pick up the DVD, though. I do want to see what they mention and skip in those 8 minutes devoted to the team's long history. Well, it’s also not a season set (those come later), so they’re only targeting this DVD to kids.
