"Reconnaissance"

I got inspiration for this display in church today.
No backdrop required here as "Hank" can shrink himself and so I had him manoeuvring around my bedside table. You can spot my "Stormtrooper" clock in the background.

"Mission #1: Initiation"

Not sure why my A.C.B.A. "mojo" hit me whilst I was taking my shower earlier and I conceptualised this display. LOL!!!
I finally had the opportunity to feature my custom origins "Fantomex". This is my interpretation of the very first mission led by "Logan" prior to them receiving and donning their "X-Force" uniforms.

"Rebuke"

Been wanting the "Fighting JC" fig ever since I knew there was an articulated fig of "Jesus Christ". My buddy "Rick" (who is the "ThreeA" guru and collector) hooked me up with this fig by breaking up his 4 pack specially for me. Can't thank him enough for the assist yet again.
Was inspired to create this display because of the bible verse below.
Malachi 3:11 (NKJV)
“And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes..."
Decided to use the "Red Hood" figure from the "Unmasked" series to depict "Satan" with the DCUC "Hawkman" as the "Archangel Michael".
Video review of JC below.

"Sneaking around"

Finally got my hands on this "Toybiz" fig from "Rick". Picked him up because of his cool attire. Reckon that his trenchcoat would fit most of the bulkier "Legends" figs.
Wish that the legs could be posed closer together at the hips and that the sunglasses would stay on his face better.

"Classic"

Continuation of my April theme. This is an old school "team-up" with the classic "Iron Man" and "War Machine" armours.
The "War Machine" fig is cool with the comic book feel. It did lose points as the machine gun is too static and can't swivel because it is too close to his head. The fig can't balance well too as it is top heavy.

"Microman: Supergirl"

Was at CSC researching prices of "Figma" and "Revoltech" figs when I came across this "Microman" series "Supergirl". They had a "Microman" version of "Superman" with a "Brandon Routh" face sculpt but I didn't dig that.
Cool fig with 11 pairs of interchangeable hands and is heavily articulated compared to MU figs. Decided to play with the scale of the fig by giving the illusion of "Supergirl" being shrunk by "Zatanna".

"Torture"

Wanted to avoid creating another display with the characters from "Apocalypse". Decided to have these 2 together in this scene as they both arrived from "Jaxx".
"Desaad" is an incredibly detailed figure and seriously under-rated. He is now one of my all-time favs. Was originally reluctant to get "Martian Manhunter" but he is a nice fig now that I have him on hand.

"Walmart" exclusive "Amazing Spider-Man"

Finally got my hands on this fig... big thanks to "Floyd"!!!!!!
Came with a ton of accessories including "Andrew Garfield's" head, interchangeable masked head, skateboard and backpack.
Posed him with his accessories and the comic book prop made by "Mindless".

"Detectives"

2 DC characters who are similar in that both are detectives and have a disdain for firearms.
Here I have the "Question" in possession of documents that "Bats" wants. The "cut-out" tells the rest of the story.
The "Question" is an intriguing character that was not fully maximised in the "DC Universe". Pity but he has a fan in me. I liked his role in the "52" graphic novel.
