"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.

"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".
