"Secret files: Mr Freeze"

I already owned this character prior to securing this version. I decided to get this classic look to compliment the modern and bulkier variant I already had on display.
The card was already creased when I collected it and I decided to take the fig out. The helmet is detachable and this is a nice differentiation. The smaller weapon is also a nice change from the huge cannon held by the other make.
I retook "Catwoman" with her goggles up to show her eyes and bangs. "Two-Face" is still my favourite "Batman" baddie of all. My "Batman Rogues Gallery" is slowly becoming more complete. I'm keenly awaiting the arrival of "Man-Bat" and my custom "Joker". I'm also searching for the "Poison Ivy" from the "Secret Files" series. I need to find a good "Penguin" too.

"Cyclone"

I wasn't aware of this character's background prior to researching her but I was attracted by her flame red hair that seemed to be swept upward by her seemingly conjuring up a twister and her candy striped leggings.
Hmmmm... interesting... her profile lists that she is an avid fan of musical theatre.

"More than meets the eye"

The "Transformers" remind me of the good old days. My favourite decade is the 80s... not just for the cartoons and toys but the cheesy music too.
I knew I had to buy these cuff links when I saw them. They are awesome accessories to stuffy long sleeved shirt and pants.

"Captain America: Unmasked"

I've been seeking the 6" version of the unmasked "Captain America" but have been unsuccessful so far. I secured the 12" version instead today at a reasonable price.
The detail on "Steve Roger's" face and the sculpt as a whole is awesome. It dwarfs my 6" figures but is overshadowed by my "Sentinel" BAF.

"Batman" graphic novels

I stocked up on "Batman" graphic novels today and my backlog is growing. I was attracted to "Batman: Private Casebook" because it features "Zatanna" in the story. "Batman: Joker's Asylum" gives an insight into the psyche of "Batman's" foes.

"Black Widow"

I'm totally digging this "Black Widow". It is way better than the earlier "Marvel Legends" version.

"Black Widow" is one character that I've liked from appearances in "Daredevil" novels and I definitely want to secure this fig.

"Black Mask"

This "Batman" villain intrigued me because of the origins of his mask. I thought he was an obscure character until I read the beginning of the graphic novel "Batman: Under the Hood" where he features prominently as the ruling kingpin of the Gotham underworld.
I'm attracted to gruesome characters.

"Justice: Green Lantern Armoured"

This was one of 2 figures I arranged to be delivered to "Dr Giggles". Was originally planning on keeping the fig in the packaging but changed my mind when I discovered that the box was slightly dented.
The figure is massive... standing at least a head taller than my other 6" figures. I have it posed next to my DCUC "Hal Jordan".

"Catwoman"

A new "Batman" villain to my collection. I got this fig cheap because it has a broken arm. Can't tell from the pic right?
I prefer the modern "Catwoman" with her goggles over the classic version. The goggles are removable btw but I won't risk removing them in case the strap breaks.
I'm embarrassed to say this but I don't know which series this figure is from.

"Raven"

After a 3 week hiatus, I headed to CSC for my fix of toys. I collected "Raven" from "Toy Realm". This character was a "Fan Choice" for wave 15. I like the sculpt and colours but was not too excited about her horrible shoes.
I'm keeping her in the packaging even though her hand is twisted to hide her feet.
