"Ogle"

"Mindless" gave me a suggestion for a display and it morphed into this.

Not my usual storytelling but was in a humorous mood today. Not a fan of "crossovers" but thought it would be interesting to have "Soundwave" inside the display.

"Rampage"

Stumbled across construction props this afternoon at "Funan" and decided to buy them even though the set was pricey.
Definitely value for money after I spent the night fiddling around with the props and the "Red Hulk" fig.

"Anguish"

Spent my lazy Sunday reading "Daredevil" novels at the public library where I got inspiration for this display.

"Getting wasted"

Just received this half naked "Logan" yesterday and was wondering what to do with him. Since he is so casual, there was only one option to explore.

"Matt Murdock"

"Michael" aka "Flash Thompson" helped me out with this custom. I provided the "Harvey Dent" body, the "Matt" head and the cane prop. He worked his magic.
I used the "Fighting JC" fig as "Matt's" boxer Dad. Love how this pic turned out.

"Elasti-Girl"

Finally added "Rita" to my "Doom Patrol". Took me forever to get this fig especially with the "fiasco" regarding the international shipment as the fig I bought from USA never arrived. I resorted to buying her MISB from "Toy Realm".

A more complete display with "Rita" and the boys. I hope they release "Dr Caulder". Can't resist obscure characters.

"Conspiracy"

There are conspiracy theories revolving around JFK's assassination. Had inspiration to play with that and came up with this display.

"Tribute"

This "Jason Todd" tribute is the first custom I've ever owned. Wish it had been packed better to prevent the damage it suffered but lesson learnt.
Still having tons of fun with this custom regardless of how many times I've used it in displays and videos. Money well spent. Tempted to commission one more.

"Intrusion"

The "Spectre" is rarely featured in A.C.B.A. displays so I decided to use him.
Was very tricky to get the right lighting on the figs and yet illuminate the "Robin" suit. Satisfied that the pic came out decent.

"Reflection"

Traded a bunch of "Minimates" for this DCSH "Cassandra Cain". She came without her "Batarangs" but still glad to add her to my "Bat Family".
Another "Holy Grail" secured and the hunt is on for the remaining ones on my list.

"Classic Robin"

Passed up the chance to grab this fig many times but I finally pulled the trigger. The seller forgot to send me the "grappling hook" accessory though.
This fig can double as "Dick Grayson" or "Jason Todd". Two for the price of one.

"Checkmate?"

This is my display for round 2 of the A.C.B.A. World Championship Tournament 2012/2013.

 Images of the display.

"Elongated Man"

Not exactly a fan of "Elongated Man" but I decided to get him nonetheless because of the "Magnifying glass" that came with the fig.
Not the most impressive fig ever but he did have a paint scuff on his chest which was a bit disappointing considering that it is sold at a premium.

Classics Vs Modern

"Marc" sent me the classic "Penguin" and modern "Batgirl". The "Brolly" that came with "Penguin" broke in transit but I managed to mend it using "Scotch tape".
It is obvious that "Mattel" put in effort to tweak both figs to differentiate them from the earlier releases.
