"Keep watch"

Received "German" and "American" figs from "Plan B" courtesy of "Jeremy". The figs are pretty stiff and I clumsily broke the legs of one of the "machine guns".
I can image the Commander saying this in German "It is dark. We will take turns to keep watch. Karlheinz take the first watch. Stay alert!".

"Dynamic Duo"

Regretted selling my Blue/Grey "Batman" to "Mindless". Ended up replacing mine with one from "Jeremy". He also sent "Military" figs from "Plan B". I intend to do those pics with a "Hellboy" theme.
"Clown Thugs" stand no chance against "Batman" and "Robin".

"Shadow"

Decided to do a reverse display of the prior "Two-Face" pic I took. Here I have "Bats" outside the window listening in on a conversation between "criminals".
The "smoke" effect was a pain to do but I liked the final result. Originally had a speech "cut-out" but ended up removing it as it looked out of place.

"Gotta hide the Delorean"

Received this "Minimate" version of the "Back to the Future" movie "Delorean" in time for "Christmas" but didn't have time to play with it till tonight. I thought I got the version that could fly but I was mistaken so I ended up doing this scene where "Marty" hides the "Delorean".
I think I will have to buy the flying version :p

"47"

"Hitman" is my favourite gaming series ever. "Agent 47" is the baddest "Assassin" ever. Not only is the storyline solid but the gameplay is insanely challenging.
Stealth is key in this game and that is reflected in pace and weapons available. I wish they made an articulated 1/12 version of him. I may have to get a "custom" made.
"Diana" is his "handler" in the game. I could hear her saying these words "47... Diana here... The agency has a new assignment for you..." when I was setting up this display.

"Heads... Gotham burns..."

"Two-Face" is one of my fav "Bat" villain so it was time to take him out for a display. I decided to do this pic since my "Hellboy" lot went missing. Still annoyed about that but I think this pic came out pretty well.

"Coffin"

Collected my "coffin" prop today and knew that I had to do an "Abe" display with B.P.R.D. agents.
Intentionally used "Orange" lighting to create the illusion of the room being lit with the "torch".

"Haunted Bar"

Initially wanted to have "Hellboy" fight a "Skeleton Army" but ended up doing this "bar" scene because it was easier. Haha. It's been awhile since I used a "speech cut-out".
The "Revoltech" figs feel "flimsy" so I was wary about trying to force the joints.

Monday, December 15, 2014

"Bamf!"

That's the sound made when "Nightcrawler" travels by "teleportation". I have the "Bamf" prop but not the "cut-out".
Not really a fan of the "X-Men" but decided it was time to "dust off" the "Jubilee" BAF and "Kitty Pryde" figures.

"Abe Sapien's room"

Been reading a lot of "Hellboy" and B.P.R.D. so I decided to do a display of "Abe's" room in the B.P.R.D. headquarters.
 I can't make my own "dioramas" yet but I still make do I guess. The "Cryotube" from "Halo" is the closest I have to a "sleeping chamber" for "Abe".

"Take flight"

Never seen S.T.R.I.P.E. in the "comics" before but I had to get it just to pair with "Stargirl". I was pleasantly surprised by the sculpt and the size of the figure.

I'm terrible with "flight" poses so I ended up doing a "take-off" display instead.

"Which year is it Skeets?"

Finally did a picture with my "Minimate" version of "Booster Gold" which comes with an attached "Skeets". Pretty cool fig of the classic suit.
Have more "Minimate" DC figs that I have yet to play with. Stay tuned.

"Treasure hunt"

I merged 2 ideas together for this display. "Muhammad" did a pic of "Finn" and "Jake" finding a "treasure chest" previously and I borrowed "Cedric's" idea of using "Fin Fang Foom" with these 2 characters.
 "B-side" with "Finn's" head turned.

"Lab work"

"Beast" is one of the best figs ever made by "Toybiz". This version includes the "glasses" and "lab coat". It is so well articulated that I had no issues getting him to hang upside down for this pic.
Now I'm in a predicament as to whether I should sell the regular version.

"Animal Man"

Under-rated fig that I'm glad I bought. The jacket is different from other characters like "Mr Terrific". Its the small details like this that made me fall in love with DCUCs in the first place. Just wished that "Mattel" worked on the articulation.
I'm going to miss the DCUC line when it ends. The "Owl" prop came with the "Dr Midnight" figure.

"Counselling"

Had this custom version of "Joker" wearing an "Arkham Inmate" uniform for awhile but didn't do it justice. Decided to do this picture of him undergoing counselling.
I'm surprised how popular this picture is in the A.C.B.A. group.

"Hawkman and Hawkgirl"

DC "Minimates" figures are really hard to come by at a decent price. Glad that I got hold of the "Hawkman" and "Hawkgirl".
This setting gave me the opportunity to finally make use of the "Bell Tower" that I got from "Michael Sanchez". I made a slight modification to the "tower".

"Overtime kills"

Did this "tongue in cheek" display for fun.
Had the "lab chamber" for awhile but finally found a use for it. Also wanted to show "Kroenen's" unmasked face.

Thursday, November 27, 2014

"Kroenen"

"Kroenen" is easily the favourite "Hellboy" villain of mine. This fig is huge and he makes most of the other figs look like "dwarves".
The sculpt and detail on this figure is insane. His accessories are incredible too. Definitely the best purchase I've made recently.

"B.P.R.D.: The Headless Horseman"

Decided to do a combined display with "Hellboy", "Abe Sapien" and "The Headless Horseman". Quite apt considering the B.P.R.D. agency investigates "paranormal" cases.
Was aiming for a "graphic novel" cover look and I think I achieved it.
Can't wait to play with "Kroenen".

"Embrace your destiny"

Finally got myself the "Tamashi Flame" effects courtesy of "Vic". I used "Mephisto" as a "demon" in this scene with "Hellboy". Worked out well.
The "ring lamp" from "Ikea" was perfect for this set-up.

"Original Sin"

Have yet to read "Original Sin" but I've always found the "Watcher" an intriguing character. I can't wait to read it if I ever find it in the library.
This display was inspired by the "cover art".

"Where is Johann when you need him?"

Random idea that came to my head so I went ahead to do it.
 I can't wait to get my new "Hellboy" figures so that I can do more B.P.R.D. displays. Definitely looking forward to the "animated" version of "Hellboy" with his "trench" and "Kroenen".

"Millennium Falcon"

I owned the original "Falcon" as a kid and I wish my "Dad" had let me keep all my toys growing up. I probably would never sell them if I still owned them even though vintage toys are valuable now.
"Jeremy" and I have a private joke about this. He promised that I would be irresistible to women if I hung this 2 Foot long toy above my bed. LOL.
The new "Black Series" version of "Han Solo" is on the way to me. I may do a picture of "Han" with the "Falcon" in the background.

"P.A.F. Fighting JC"

I already own a "Fighting JC" but I couldn't resist getting another MISB. I may end up selling him. I really don't know.

"Liberty Files: Jay Garrick"

I came across this loose "Jay Garrick" today at CSC and had to get him even though I already have a MISB one at home. The sculpt on this figure is insane and his running pose is decent.
I will be putting up the MISB one for sale.

Thursday, November 13, 2014

"Thunderbolts"

Finally got a replacement "Ghost" fig and the new "Radioactive Man". Not easy getting both of them to glow but I managed to get a decent pic of them.
The "Luke Cage" led "Thunderbolts" team is still one of my fav besides "X-Force". I should do a pic with the new "Ms Marvel" fig soon.

"Trapped"

Found my mini "Antman" and was finally able to put this display together. Focused mainly on the poses rather than the backdrops.

Monday, November 3, 2014

"Mysterious door"

Wanted to do an "Antman" pic but realised that my mini "Antman" figs have yet to arrive. I decided to do this display instead after an afternoon of reading "Hellboy" novels at the library. Finally made use of the door prop I've had for ages.
Still no luck securing more "Hellboy" figs.

"They call you Hellboy?"

Finally got my first "Mezco" release of "Hellboy". Surprised to get it MISB but no harm done.
 Impressive figure I have to say with interesting props. My only complains about the figure is the lack of ankle articulation and the "gun holster" is badly glued on as it may drop off at any moment.

"What took you so long?"

Big thanks to "Jeremy" for getting the WWE "steel cage". Very useful prop for backdrops.
Finally used the "beer crates" I got from CSC 2 Sundays ago. I need to start selling more figs soon. I have "doubles" of "Hit Monkey" and "Bullseye".

Tuesday, October 21, 2014

"Superior"

Finally got my "Superior Spider-Man" in my possession modified with additional details. The "tentacles" are not "comic book" accurate so I may end up getting it "modded" again.

Sunday, October 19, 2014

"Meanwhile in the Batcave"

Finally assembled my "bootleg" versions of the "Lego DC" figures and vehicles. Put together a display to resemble the "Batcave" with both vehicles that I bought.
I forgot how fun "Lego" is to play with because I haven't touched them in years. Definitely value for money at the price I got them at the neighbourhood "Convenience Store". I definitely want to get "Superman" and "Flash".

"Pool Shark"

This display title has a double meaning if you get what I mean. LOL.
I love "Pool". That's why this "prop" is fast becoming one of my favourites.

Monday, October 13, 2014

"Pool Hall"

There was a scene in the "Daredevil" movie where DD battles some "thugs" in a "Pool Hall".
I'm not very good at fight scenes but I will keep trying.

"Guess I can afford to get MJ that gift after all"

Not sure how I arrived at this pic but I believe it has yet to be done yet. "Spidey" doesn't make money doing good but "Pete" figured a way to do so by "snapping" pictures of "Spider-Man" in action to sell to the "Daily Bugle".
 I really need new "props". Haha.

"Will"

Been wanting to use this new "energy construct" since last week. Finally got down to using it together with "Guy Gardner". Originally wanted "Lobo" to be in the midst of abducting "Kata Mui" but I couldn't pull it off.

Monday, September 29, 2014

"Casting"

Put the prop that came with the "DC Unlimited" version of "Dr Fate" to use with the DCUC version and "Etrigan".
I have to admit that I'm abit rusty so it was good to get "grinding" again.

"Combat"

There was a "toy fair" at ARC again and I picked up more "Skating" props to use as "backdrops".
I also got a "DC Unlimited: Dr Fate" fig for S$1. I will use the "Spell" prop with the DCUC fig.

Tuesday, September 23, 2014

"Scratched"

Thought of this scene when I first bought the "Dodge". Intended to have "Punisher" dragging "Deadpool's" body out of the boot but I was misled because the boot can't be opened.

It's still a cool car because it works well with "Minimates".

"The chase is on"

Only used this "Green Arrow" fig for a "Justice League" group picture so decided to use him with his partner "Black Canary" in a chase scene.
As much as I love these "balcony" props, I look forward to getting my "dioramas" from "Flash" soon.
