Black vs Orange

Snapped up the "Black Lantern Hal Jordan" and "Orange Lantern Lex Luthor" today at CSC. The "Hal" fig has an excellent sculpt and expression. The orange body of "Lex" is vibrant but the only grouse I have is the extremely loose upper torso joint.
Awesome figs to join my "Green Lantern" collection.

"Justice: Scarecrow"

This is the most realistic "Scarecrow" so far. This fig is superior to the "DC Superheroes" version which was too skinny for my liking.
A pity that he did not come with accessories but the noose around his neck is cool.

"DCUC: Penguin"

"Penguin" has been a figure that eluded me for a long time because this "DC Universe Classics" fig was released before I started passionately collecting figs.
Despite a bent accessory, he is still a cool fig to join my "Batman Rogues Gallery".

"Secret Files: Poison Ivy"

"Poison Ivy" is a seductive "Batman" villain that I had wanted all this time but most figures of her have been disastrous. The "Secret Files" version of her is possibly the only one so far that has done her justice. She is not easy to find but I am excited for her to join my "Rogues Gallery". She didn't come with the original base but I managed to pose her on my spare "DC Direct" stand.

"Infinite Crisis: Batman" reloaded

I was miffed that the hand of my "Infinite Crisis: Batman" broke off and had a broken peg stuck in his boot. I secured a replacement from the same seller. I have ecstatic to report he can be posed with the "Infinite Crisis" base with no defects.
He arrived with a posse of "Batman" villains. Details on "Poison Ivy", "Penguin" and "Scarecrow".

"C&Cs"

I blew my profit from selling my "Tintin" limited edition watch on these 2 bad boys. "Mr K." was kind enough to assist in shipping them over from the States and it arrived slightly out of shape but no harm done.
I posed the massive "Kilowog" together with "Sodam Yat", "B'dg" and "Dex-Starr". I'm still kicking myself because I didn't grab "Kilowog" when I saw it going for only S$65 at "Toy Outpost". I can be a moron sometimes. "Gorilla Grodd" is not visually appealing as he is totally gray in colour but I like the mind control equipment sculpted onto his head and arms.
What can I say? 2 awesome "C&C" figures.

"Green Arrow"

I got both the "DC Superheroes: Batman" and this fig at a discounted price.
I wanted to let "Dr Giggles" have this fig but he is unsure if he already has it. I'm safekeeping it for him for the moment until he confirms.

"DC Superheroes: Batman"

Love the details on this fig. The fig is so detailed that his boots have grooves on them and there is texture to the paint job applied. His utility belt is different from those sculpted on the current batch of "Batman" figs. Awesome!!!
My only complaint would be that he does not scale well with the rogues with a few characters towering over him.

"Brainiac"

I've heard of this "Superman" villain before and seen glimpses of him in the "Smallville" TV series. I have yet to see this villain in comic books but I decided to grab this "DC Superheroes" series fig because it has nice details and was going for a steal.
I am still hunting for a definitive "Superman" to add to my collection.

"Man-Bat"

I have been wanting this fig forever!!! "Dr Giggles" was kind enough to give this fig to me because we ordered this fig from the same seller but only his arrived months ago. I will do my best to find a replacement for him.
This is an awesome new member to my "Batman Rogues Gallery". Keenly awaiting the arrival of "Poison Ivy", "Penguin" and "Scarecrow". I will update this gallery when I pose them together with the rest of the villains.
