"Superlame"

Stumbled across a site that allows you to add speech bubbles and sound effects to your pictures. Very useful for A.C.B.A. pics.

"Supergirl"

A custom "DC Superheroes" fig with a cloth cape. The legs are a little loose but a fig that I've been wanting for awhile.
Did I mention that I have a crush on "Supergirl"?

"Major Force"

Came across this character when reading the "Public Enemies" storyline from the "Superman/Batman" series. He is a plain figure but the intense expression on his face is interesting and that was what convinced me to get this fig.

"Man-Bat" variant

Already owned the regular version but decided not to pass on the chance to get the variant. I never tire of this fig with its incredible sculpt, details and wingspan.

"Arkham City: Riddler"

The one character I've been wanting most from the "Arkham City" series other than "Killer Croc". I never managed to buy him in Singapore but I was able to get him from "Midtown Comics" in NYC.
Awesome sculpt but good luck with getting his cane in his fist. The plastic they used for this fig is extremely hard and it was a pain to get the accessory between his thumb and fingers. I have no idea how I am going to remove it if I ever have to move house.

"Neuman Superman"

Fun fig based on the "Alfred E. Neuman" character from the "MAD Magazine". I was on the hunt for the versions of "Neuman" as "Superman", "Batman" and "Robin" but could only secure this one from "St. Mark's Comics" in NYC.
Not much articulation as expected with "DC Collectibles" figs but the cloth cape is cool.

"Sam Fisher"

Figure based on the "Splinter Cell" game that I picked up from "Forbidden Planet" in NYC because I thought the accessories were cool but it turned out that they are not as flexible to use with "Marvel" or DC figs.
The bulletproof vest and backpack are interchangeable on the fig but requires you to pop off the head and arms before swopping them out.

"Mr Miracle & Orion"

Figs given to me by "Hector Calicdan" when I attended his birthday party in NYC. Very cool guy and awesome figs.
It is apt that I received them together as they are linked in the "New Gods" storyline. I have them both posed levitating using flight stands.

"Zatanna"

Finally played around with the "Zatanna" fig and I added a prop to her giving the effect that she is casting a spell. Wanted a "cut-out" for her and found a website that allows you to add speech bubbles as well as sound effects.
