Not too crazy about "Spidey" figs but of all the suits worn by the "webslinger"... my fav is this black suit. I grappled over whether to get this fig before grabbing it together with the other 2 figs.
He has one hand in the typical and boring web shooting pose but I decided to add him into the mediation scene with "Hulk" and "Thor". Not sure if this scene is accurate because I don't know if the black suited "Spidey" ever appears with the "Avengers".

"Manhunter"
Decided to give myself a treat with a tasty "Chicken Wrap" from "O'Brien's" since I got a steal at S$25 for the 3 figs.
There's nothing spectacular about the "Manhunter" but it was too cheap to pass up and is a nice addition to my "Green Lantern" display.

"Red Tornado"
The original intent of heading to CSC today was to collect the "Black Panther" and "Beast"... 2 "Marvel Legends" figs that I have been eyeing for awhile. I ended up collecting neither one they were in terrible condition.
However, my long trip was not wasted as I stumbled across bargains in the "Red Tornado", "Manhunter" and the black suited "Spidey".
The lamest character in the "DC Universe" in my opinion. An "android" that always gets ripped apart by villains in different storylines and ends up needing to be reassembled. Lameness apart, I do have to admit his designs and colours are awesome. Hmmmmm... he looks like a "Traffic Warden" in this pose.

Mediation
Just for laughs... I posed "Thor" calming down an agitated "Hulk". Simple scene where I added "Hulk" into the picture.

"Cover Girls of the DC Universe: Catwoman"
Was lazy to take out my "DSLR" so I took a snap of this awesome statue using my "smartphone". This has been in storage for ages and it is now finally on display.
Nice scale compared to the 6" fig of the same character.

"NYCC previews"
"Adam" sent me links to upcoming releases that were revealed at the "New York Comic Convention". My must-have list includes the new "Arkham Asylum" figs like "Killer Croc", "Mr Freeze" and the "Riddler"... the new "52" repackaged "Superman" and "Nightwing".
Sitting on the fence on a few of these. I will have to choose between the 2 "Penguins". "Starfire" is amazing but I'm not desperate to buy her.

"Marvel Select: Thor"
I'm not a fan of this character to be honest. His powers are a bit boring and the way he talks in the comic books irritates me... but I can't deny this suit and sculpt was irresistable.
No harm adding this "Avengers" member to my collection with the others. Looking forward to the movie with "Mark Ruffalo" as the "Hulk". He makes an intriguing "Hulk" versus "Bana" and "Norton".

Battle display
My attempt at creating interesting poses rather than just having my figs standing like statues. Here I have "Spidey" facing off against a charging "Rhino" and fending off the "Green Goblin".
Battle scenes are easy. I will try to think of a non-battle display to create with other characters.

"X2: Nightcrawler" MISB
I owned this fig loose previously but sold it as it has stains all over it. Not my fault but the prior owner's.
I love the look of the character in the movie so I decided to source for a replacement from "eBay". I was successful in securing a replacement MISB at a reasonable price. More backlog due to my house moving and here it is in my display case.

"Marvel Select: Gambit"
A fig that I cracked open before I moved and posed in my new toy cabinet 2 weeks ago but forgot to post about. This fig has an excellent sculpt and flowing jacket that convinced me to cash in on my custom version. The only issue with this fig was the warped leg that was my own doing as I did not pack him properly during my house moving.

"Tim Drake"
Rounding up the shipment from "Adam" is "Tim Drake". I have nothing against "Dick Grayson" but I just prefer him as "Nightwing". "Tim Drake" is my choice as "Robin" versus the whiney and spoilt "Damian Wayne" or "Jason Todd". This fig came with a "Bo Staff" and one "Batarang".
"Adam" is the man. He secretly packed in a freebie for me in the form of the "Batman" from the "Clayface" 2 pack. I slotted the "Batarang" into the "Batman" fig's hand.
Awesome bundle this round.

"C&C: Bane"
I can't say that "Bane" is my fav "Batman" villain but I do own multiple variations of this character. This is the taller and bulkier version of the classic "Bane" versus the awful "DC Superheroes" one. They took heed of fans' complaints about the bent legs.
Nice contrast to the "Arkham Asylum" version too!!! "Adam" sold it to me at a discount. Thanks mate!!!

"Secret Files: Killer Croc"
Difficult fig to find locally and I'm glad that "Adam", my fav toy supplier from the US, kept an eye out for me. He finally notified me of stock he had and I promptly arranged to get it sent over. Worth the wait!!!
The best "Killer Croc" sculpted and released in my opinion. I love the detailing of his bandaged fists and torn pants. His jaw is posable too!!!
