"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.

"Marvel Legends: Deadpool & Warpath"

"Deadpool" is a fan favourite but he wasn't the reason I decided to get this 2 pack... "Warpath" was the incentive.
He does look like an over-sized "Zartan" from "G.I. Joe" but I like him because I've always been fascinated by "Native Americans" from young, he looks cool and is a member of the "X-Force".
"Wolfsbane" is another member of the now defunct "X-Force" team that I would like to own.

"Spiderman"

I have been searching for a decent "Spidey" for ages and I finally found him. I can now retire the Zombie version that I have.
"Rhino" will be an awesome compliment to this fig. I have yet to find a "Rhino" at the right price.

"Skeets"

I bought a "52" figure stand from CSC intending to replace the "Justice League International" stand that my "Booster Gold" fig was leaning on. The issue is that "Booster" doesn't stand properly on it. Haha.
The irony was that the "52" stand came with "Skeets" and that ended up becoming the bonus. "Booster" was odd by himself and he now looks complete with his trusty robot by his side.

"Ms. Marvel" premium format figure

When I found out that "Simply Toys" had this for sale, I rushed down to the shop and gladly handed over my dough as my deposit.

This statue is suited up with a cloth leotard, leather gloves and boots. Her sash is made out of cloth with a soft wire that permits the accessory to be shaped as if it were flapping in the wind. Awesome statue!!! I can't wait to bring it home.

"Superman/Batman: Green Lantern"

I couldn't resist getting this "Hal Jordan" because of the giant green energy fist that he generates with the help of his power ring. It doesn't hurt that it came with another lantern.
My "Green Lantern" fever hasn't subsided. Did you know that the power ring is often referred to in the "DC Universe" as "the most powerful weapon in the universe"?

"52" review

It was a test of concentration but I managed to finish reading the entire "52" series today at "Everything with fries".
The one year storyline was full of highs and I figure that contributed to what I felt was an anti-climatic ending. I do appreciate "DC's" effort to focus on characters other than "Superman", "Batman" and "Wonder Woman".
The waitress shared with me that she had already finished both "Infinite Crisis" and "52" which I had with me at the cafe.

"Blackest Night: Arkillo"

There are currently 2 versions of this character out in the market now. I opted for this fig as I am not that keen on the "DC Universe Classics" figures that I would need to buy to build the C&C version.
The bulk and heft of this fig attracted me to add it to my collection of "Blackest Night" figures.

"Kingdom Come: Green Lantern"

"Alan Scott" is a founding member of the "Justice Society". I read 3 volumes of the "Justice Society of America" recently whilst I was enjoying my extended Christmas vacation but it was in "Kingdom Come" where I first came across this character in ink. In "Kingdom Come" which is set on "Earth-22", he dons this awesome suit.

The first release of this figure was atrocious but the "Reactivated" series is much improved. This fig was surprisingly a "peg warmer" and I was so happy when Vincent reduced the price. Besides complimenting my 3 "Hal Jordans", it also adds to my "Kingdom Come" collection together with my "Batman".

"CLU"

I watched "Tron Legacy" courtesy of "McAfee" which had a movie event for its customers on December 16, 2010. Had to say that the story was disappointing but I did enjoy the special effects and it was free.
I focus on collecting DC and Marvel characters but I was enticed by the holographic face and lights on the "CLU" figure to part with my money. I managed to grab this in time as there were only 2 left at "Toys"R"Us" and the other one had a botched paint job.
I captured the holographic face and "CLU" talking on video using my mobile phone but decided against uploading the video because the video quality was atrocious.
I did find a better quality video review of this figure that clearly shows the holographic face.

"Bishop" variant

Got the variant of "Bishop" from CSC today. Felt it provided a nice contrast to the long-haired version that I already own.
