Hiatus

I'm taking a short break from toy blogging and review whilst I sort out my apartment renovation and moving.
I do have new goodies on standby but that has to wait unfortunately. Watch out for mass posts after I move in and have the time to write on the fresh stuff.
A preview... I have a mixture of classic stuff I managed to procure and new releases. Akan datang.

"Arkham Asylum: The Joker"

Was hoping to snap up the "Superman" fig from the "New Krypton" comic book series but it was sold out. I ended up purchasing "The Joker" from the "Arkham Asylum" computer game franchise.
I love this sinister variation of this iconic "Batman" villain versus the cartoony one.

"Riddle me this"

My new wallpaper. The "Wonder Woman" one was great... but I needed a change.

"SDCC 2011"

Highlights from "SDCC 2011" even though I was not physically there. Thanks to "Michael Crawford"... toy reviewer extraordinaire.
My "must-haves" include the "Green Lantern" movie prop which I will likely put in my livingroom or bedroom. "Steve Rogers"... the "Super Soldier" and you can never have too many well sculpted "Hals".

My "thinking about it" list includes the excellently detailed "Rogue".

My "I wish I could have this but not practical" list.

The quirky list.

"Sinestro Corps"

I own "Green Lanterns" and their "Red", "Orange" and "Black" adversaries but this is the first "Sinestro Corps" foe that I have in my collection. Thanks to "Vincent" for selling it loose to me.
My only discontent with this fig is that there is not enough clearance between the lantern and the handle for the object to comfortably rest in his hand.

"Toyman"

The "Toyman" is a "Superman" villain who turned to crime due to circumstance. This is one of his many toys that he uses for his evil purposes.
I like the colours of the fig and the awesome accessories.

Custom "Sentinel"

Wow!!! That's all I can say.

"Aquaman"

I love the gold tunic versus the cartoony orange that is his classic look. The trident could have been less unwieldy but I think they tried to put lots of details on it.
I will pose him next to my armoured and "Blackest Night" versions.

"Batgirl"

This is the classic "Batgirl" with the black, blue and yellow colour combination. A contrast to the "Alex Ross" version in black and darker yellow.
They are different in detail with this "Batgirl" having interesting bat shaped boots and brighter paint job versus the full black ensemble with a modern belt and symbol.

"Gambit"

I already own a custom "Gambit" in my collection but I wanted this character in his classic attire.
I would have liked to keep him MISB but with my pending house moving, I took him out and sealed him in a Ziplog bag. I will update this blog with the loose fig when I settle down in my new home.
