"Soundwave"

Decided to try my hand at the "Whitehot" contest on "Instagram". Used the mini "Soundwave" with a "pigeon" for this scene.

"Banner"

"Kroenen" is one of my fav "Hellboy" character and figure. This is the movie version and I wish "Mezco" had made a comic accurate version before they stopped the line.
The "banner" is from the "Major Maxim" figure from the "Danger Girl" line of toys.

"Time Lab"

Bought a "Globe" and had a few display ideas in mind but ended up revisiting the "Time Lab" display with "Booster" and "Skeets" that I did previously for the WCT.
I really should get more "mileage" out of the custom "chalkboards" that I made besides doing this "lab" scene but I'm reluctant to erase the "wordings" that I wrote.

"Livewire"

I took up the challenge from "Jeremy" to open up a MOC figure and I picked "Livewire" from my collection. I had "Livewire" mint inside the packaging for 5 years. This figure was one of the earliest figs that I owned since I started collecting again.
Used the prop that "Jeremy" made for me as it suited the scene I had in mind. This "DC Direct" figure is surprisingly well articulated in the upper torso.

"Strategising"

An actor has been cast for the role of "Mr Terrific" in the TV show "Arrow" and I decided it was time to feature the character in a display.
I didn't want to feature him with the "usual suspects" from the JSA so I had him in discussion with "Batman".

"Animal Man and Beast Boy"

These 2 are true RUFs because they are really obscure and rarely used especially "Animal Man". "Rick" actually thought he was "Booster Gold". "Beast Boy" has more "Airtime" as a member of the "Doom Patrol" and "Teen Titans".
DC should use "Animal Man" more but this figure is seriously under-rated because the details on it is pretty "sick".

"Fire!!!"

Decided to try my hand at the "Fireworks" theme. Went with a generic display where a guy is rescuing his PS from a "fire" in his "apartment".

"Fear"

Been mulling over what to do for the A.C.B.A. "Instagram" contest that ends this coming Sunday. I wanted to focus on the DC75 theme and I ended up setting up this "Sinestro" display over a "Dynamic Duo" display.
I originally planned to do this for the A.C.B.A. "World Championship Tournament" but decided to use it.

This is definitely fresher than another "Batman" display.

"Paranormal investigation"

Had the inspiration to do a display with a crying baby and ended up with this setup.
"Roger" is huge so I had to pose him bending over to scale with the ladies. I used a "custom" to represent "Liz Sherman".
