The Chris Benafel action figure: You don't receive it until 4 weeks after purchase

The Gary Wise action figure: Hated by all the other action figures

The Peter Szegeti action figure: Wants to be hated by all the other action figures

The Alex Shvartzman action figure: available only at Grand Prixs

The Kai Budde action figure: comes complete with card of your choice, when you need it

The Theron Martin action figure: defeats all other action figures in combat, whether or not such combat actually ever happened, whines incessantly
