"U-Toys" was having a clearance of "DC Universe Classics" figs at S$10 for 2. I decided to get "Mr. Terrific" and "Booster Gold".
I got acquainted with this character from reading "Justice Society of America" novels. He is the chairman of this team and is known as the third smartest person on Earth. He played a key role in "Infinite Crisis" as his invisibility to technology permitted him shut down "Brother Eye".

"Marvel Select: Juggernaut"
I pre-ordered this awesome fig months ago... way before I managed to buy the "Marvel Legends" version.
I finally got my hands on this new version after shipping delays. I was initially thinking of selling it but after comparison... it is a keeper because of its mass compared to the older version.

"O.M.A.C."
The key objective of securing this figure was to get the "Infinite Crisis" base in preparation for the arrival of my "Bats" of the said series.My deepest impression of the "O.M.A.C.s" in the "Infinite Crisis" graphic novel is hundreds of them dotting the sky as they descended to attack. I'm contemplating buying a replacement figure stand to place this fig in a flying pose.

"Ms. Marvel" secured
I do not own a "Ms. Marvel" 6" fig but I do own the statue of her now. I collected her from "Simply Toys" today and lugged her home via a combination of train and foot. Not an easy task by the way.
I inspected the fig before paying the remainder of the balance owed and the statue is breathtaking.
No pics of the statue available at the moment as it is still in the generic brown cardboard box from "Sideshow".

"Kid Flash"
After reading more comics, I realised that "Flashes" are very popular and prominent in numerous storylines. I never really understood the popularity of the "Flashes". They are blessed with super-speed and are so fast that they can traverse time but that's all there is to them. Hmmmm... maybe its their flashy costumes. Pardon the pun."Wally West" is the nephew of "Barry Allen"... the "Flash" of the "Silver Age" who eventually replaces "Barry" as the "Flash"."Bart Allen" is the grandson of "Barry" from the future who takes on the mantle of "Kid Flash".
As the character's a kid, this fig stands at around 5" and is distinctive from the rest of the standard 6" figs from the "DC Universe Classics" line. He will compliment my "Toys"R"Us" exclusive "Flash" once I collect it from "Dr Giggles".

"Room of Doom!"
This is one talented guy... he makes custom figures and his displays are very impressive. I want an equally inspiring display like his when I have my own place.
My favourite display of his would definitely have to be "Captain America" and the "Winter Soldier" battling a horde of "Hydra Soldiers".

"Magneto"
I did not like the "Toy Biz" torso of "Magneto" and thus passed on that fig. This "Diamond Select" sculpt is a marked improvement... making him more realistic and imposing.
There is a helmet-less variant but I definitely dig this one. I finally have the "numero uno" villain of the "X-Men".

"Marvel Bishoujo: Emma Frost"
Been waiting for this statue for months. Paid up the balance sans my deposit and brought her home. There have been different versions of "Emma" in 6" figures and statues but I like this Anime-inspired styling the best.
You can clearly make out her facial expression through the open window and protection plastic. I won't take her out until I buy a place of my own with a proper glass cabinet.

"Rhino"
"Rhino" has been one elusive fig until today. Even though this fig has paint chips on his horn and a missing finger on his left hand... the reasonable price was sufficient to convince me to get it.I believe this fig is from the "Sinister Six" box set and I love his bulk. He dwarfs the standard 6" figs.

"Blackest Night: Aquaman"
I already owned this fig MISB but I couldn't resist getting this loose as it was going for a steal.I finished reading "Blackest Night" at "Everything with fries" this afternoon. The novel is visually very colourful with emotions represented by the different coloured "Lanterns". There is an interesting twist towards the end but I inevitably get the feeling that the plot is crafted to milk readers into buying new action figures of characters that they already own.
Nonetheless... my favourite character in the series is "Scarecrow" and call me a sucker but I can't wait to get my hands on that fig.
