"Red Skull"

Saw this "Premium Format Figure" from "Sideshow Collectibles" in the display case at "Simply Toys" Suntec branch today. Was totally blown away by its size (ie. 50 cm tall) and detailing.

I made an inquiry as the statue was not tagged. The staff informed me that the leg was broken but hidden by the fabric of the trouser leg. They would knock off 20% for the damage. S$370... hmmmmm... I'm seriously contemplating buying it... broken leg and all.

Backlog

Have a backlog of graphic novels, magazines and comics to read. Got these but have yet to finish reading them.

"Bill Russell"

The greatest NBA center of all time... winning 11 championships. He was renown for his rebounding and blocks. Modern players are all about flashiness but he was an efficient shot-blocker who would divert opposing players' shots to his teammates or to himself. A true legend.

"Ultimate Captain America"

"Captain America" in his World War II uniform with his signature badge shaped shield. It came with a spare unmasked Steve Rogers' head and pistol. A winner if you ask me and I didn't hesitate to buy him.

Marvel has characters that give DC a run for their money but DC has the edge when it comes to producing attractive toys.

"Zatanna"

I rarely like female Comic book characters with the exception of "Wonder Woman" and "Zatanna". I first stumbled across "Zatanna" in a scene between "Superman" and her in a graphic novel. She is included in the "DC Universe Classics" wave 14 and I have already made my pre-release reservation to get her figure. I'm also contemplating parting with my $ to get her statue.

I wish...

I love Singapore but I sometimes wish I lived in the US. It is hard to get figures I like here at times and I wouldn't need to pay exorbitant prices for international shipping. Besides the Batman Beyond unmasked variant, I have a wish-list that includes the "Joker" from "DC Universe Classics" wave 10 and the key figures from the graphic novel "Kingdom Come".
