Randi bought two of the six-figure boxes and wound up with the complete set of twelve different figures between them. (We did wind up with some dupes but only because I'd bought some single fig packs before). So if you don't want duplicates, buy a six-pack! (This advice also given to me by Mister Rowsdower.)

Kitty Pryde: 🎶 "Where's My Kitty?" 🎶

I made up a little song to sing to my cat, to the tune of Henry Mancini's "Viewer Mail Theme":

🎼 Where's my kitty
🎶 Where's my kitty
🎶Where's my kitty
🎶I want to know where

🎼 She's not over here
🎶 She's not under there
🎶 THERE'S MY KITTY!
🎶 She's layin' right here!
