"Infinite Crisis:Batman" unleashed

My holy grail arrived by mail yesterday and I rushed down to the post office this morning to collect him. He is a sight to behold!!!

There is one minor problem though. The original figure stand peg is stuck in the hole underneath his right foot. The broken peg is almost flush against the foot thus I can't pull it out using a pair of pliers and it also prevents him from standing independently. I will have to figure something out.

"Flash"

After months of anxious waiting, I finally own a "Flash". "Barry Allen" is a popular character in the "DC" universe and he offers a nice contrast with my "Kid Flash".
I love the glossy red and gold paint on the figure.

"Ted Kord"

The best friend of "Booster Gold"... how can I not have him in my collection? It took ages but I finally got him at a decent price.
There are numerous variations of "Blue Beetle" but I like this version because he comes with a weapon and holster.
This is apt as though "Ted" is in possession of the "Blue Scarab", he does not use its power but instead relies on his intelligence and engineering prowess.
Opposites attract and this is true in the case of his friendship with "Booster".

"Hush: Riddler"

"Dr Giggles" was finally free to meet up. He handed me my figs that we combined shipping for from the US and China. The figs that I collected are the "Riddler", "Blue Beetle" and "Flash".
I already have a "Riddler" from an earlier "DCUC" wave. I prefer this version because the figure can be posed as if he is signaling you to maintain silence just like the title of the said series. The face of this version looks more youthful and mischievous.

"DCUC All-Star: Joker"

I already own this "Joker" from the "Imperiex" wave but the price was reasonable and I liked the new packaging.
I'm still waiting for my custom "Joker" to arrive.

"Starman"

"Starman" is definitely my favourite character in the "JSA" series. I love the fact that he is wacky due to his Schizophrenia and is viewed with suspicion by those around him as a result of his mental illness. He traveled to our time from the 31st century because he was tasked with a mysterious mission to secure a job as a gravedigger. The reason is revealed in "Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds".

I love the way they managed to capture his starfield suit in this fig. The fig comes with his unmasked head.

"DCUC: Booster Gold"

"Booster" is one of my fav superheroes. I already own the "JSI" version but decided to get this "DC Universe Classics" version as a bundle with "Mr. Terrific" because I was not keen on either "Commander Steele" or "Captain Cold".

"Mr. Terrific"

"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.
