"Will Vs Fear"

The "constructs" that I bought from "Rocco Thegreat" arrived!!! Now I can enhance my "Lantern" displays with different constructs.

"Sabretooth"

New addition to my "Brotherhood" display. This is the definitive "Sabretooth" and he is awesome. I love his expression and the details.

"Etrigan"

A fig that I never had the chance to get at retail as it was released before I was a collector.
"Rayshawn" sent him with the "Metamorpho" C&C part which I don't need really. Very detailed fig and a classic example of what "Mattel" can do if they put their mind to it.

Masked "Batman Beyond"

Have the unmasked "Terry McGinnis" MISB but elected to get this loose masked version for my collection.
I love the simple design and the grimace on his face. Cool futuristic "batarang" too.

"Catman"

Key character belonging to the "Secret Six"... a team that DC has not taken advantage of with characters like "Bane" and "Deadshot".
I am planning a display to incorporate those key characters.

"Fantomex"

My favourite amongst the package that arrived. Been wanting this figure forever but my prior purchase went missing so I was forced to find a replacement. I am happy that he finally arrived.
I know nothing about this character but love the detailing. One of the best figs to be released in the new line of "Marvel Legends" toys. However, it is time for "Hasbro" to develop a new jacket. This jacket is getting a bit old.

"Marvel Select Skrull"

Weak in articulation but essential as a "Skrull" scientist to complement my "Super Skrulls". Needed the "Marvel Select" version for an A.C.B.A. display I had in mind and here is a sneak preview of what is to come.
Stay tuned for updates.

"Iron Man Mark II"

The protoype "Iron Man" armour that is cool to have in my collection. Dull in colour and limited in articulation but cool detailing nonetheless.

"Spiderman Classics: Daredevil"

Finally have my hands on the definitive "Daredevil". Superior articulation compared to the "Marvel Select" version and includes a cool roof prop as seen in the background.
My only gripe with regards to the fig is that his walking stick cum "nunchucks" do not fit snugly into his hands. His left leg is slightly warped too.

"Azrael"

There are different incarnations of this character including the one from the "Batman Reborn" series but I love this version the most.
Top heavy fig with excellent sculpt and detailing. The huge gauntlets and fists remind me of the famous "Michelangelo" statue of "David".

"Knight Shadow Batman"

Passed on this fig numerous times but I finally decided to add this to my "Batman" collection.
On closer inspection, this head would be excellent for a "Black Panther" custom but it is too valuable a fig to sacrifice. 
I don't know why there are haters of tag teams but you need help sometimes.

"Ares Vs Ares"

"God of War" from Greek mythology and the nemesis of "Wonder Woman". I've always been intrigued by the fact that DC and "Marvel" have the same character.
A nice contrast between the 2 in colour and detail. The DC version wins the battle in colour, detailing and sculpt but the Marvel version has a superior bio and story.

"Quicksilver"

Was in a way "forced" to buy "Quicksilver" to compensate for how horrible "Scarlett Witch" is. He makes her look good.

"Mercury"

Not a fan of the "Metal Men" but it was nice of "Rick Valdez" to throw in a freebie in my package.
Very nice details on this figure. He comes with an interchangeable hand too.

"Crossbones"

Another rare and expensive figure that is finally mine. Nice sculpt and details other than the issue with his weapons that do not fit snugly in his hands.
He joins "Juggernaut" as my members of the "Thunderbolts"... my current favourite "Marvel" lineup. 

"Ares"

A holy grail for the longest time and it is finally mine. A character that can be posed with the "Avengers" or the "Dark Avengers". I will likely place him with my "Dark Avengers".
