"Red Skull"

By far the best "Red Skull" ever produced. My issue with the "Marvel Select" line is their ridiculously huge and environmentally unfriendly packaging that I find is a waste of resources and space. It pains me to buy this line and that reminded me to go email them feedback about it.
There is a slight difference in figure scale making posing with "Marvel Legends" figs a tad inconsistent. I'm seriously considering adding the modern "Cap" to my "Marvel" collection and complimenting the other "Avengers".
Hmmmm... just realised that I left out the new "Gambit" from my updates. Have to remember to take a pic of him soon.

"Brightest Day"

More backlog. I paid for these 2 figs weeks ago and finally collected them. The first "Green Arrow" in my collection and I really like this hooded version versus the classic look. I also like this suit on the "Hawkgirl" versus the comic book variant.
The 2 best figs in the "Brightest Day" line in my humble opinion.

"Arkham Asylum: Bane"

Monstrous fig that "Dr Giggles" has been holding onto for me. It was his post that inspired me to tear open this baby and display him in all his glory.
I'm sooooo blessed that he managed to grab it for me before it was gone. They sculpted him crouching again but this is way better than the "DC Superheroes" version.

"The Thing"

This is a fig from an older "Fantastic Four" series which I was fortunate to get my hands on. I like the sculpting of his rock-like exterior and the dull orange of his "skin".
Not crazy about the accessory so I ditched it.

"Superman/Batman: Supergirl"

I like this "Michael Turner" illustration of "Supergirl". Very "Anime-like" with big eyes. Nice box set that includes a "Superman" and the comic. A pity he passed on so young. I would have been his loyal fan.

"The Blob"

An obscure and grotesquely cool villain if you asked me. I had to rip open "Juggernaut" and "Magneto" to pose with "The Blob" to form "The Brotherhood of Mutants". Nice to have these 2 as bodyguards.
"David" from "Invasion Toys" was kind enough to hold onto this fig for me whilst I was sorting out my packing and moving. Pity that the fig had scratches on him but I couldn't pass on getting it as it is a rare fig to secure.
