Since I'm so behind on posting pictures of newly acquired toys and junk, we're going to fire through them quickly, with little or no commentary.
House of M, Decimation, Civil War, JLA, JLI, Justice, Superman, Hellboy, also Deep Space 9 season 7 DVD for $10 on eBay. That's a steal.
Eternal Dragon, from Dragons series 5, by McFarlane Toys.
This is the first of the Dragons I came across, and I was really impressed by it, so I bought it. This led to me buying a few others, maybe I'll post pictures of them somewhere. The Ice Dragons are my favorite, and this one.
It's finally time to start up the Pic of the Day again. In an interesting coincidence, I've started the year off by starting to collect two new lines of figures. Of course, both lines are way past their sell date, very quite dead, so I won't be acquiring them very quickly. Not that that really matters, because I'm getting these through trades (over at TheFwoosh.com, come join us).
Today we start with a figure from a movie based on a comic I hadn't heard of (but as with films, it doesn't really mean anything if I haven't heard of it). It was also movie I hadn't heard of, but I borrowed it, or somehow bought it for like $5 or something on eBay, and was absolutely blown away by it. It's definitely one of my favorite movies, and the sequel, while not quite as good, is still pretty darn entertaining and enjoyable. The movie: Hellboy.
Hellboy, from Hellboy series 1 by Mezco.
My first World of Warcraft figure, finally. I've been eying these ever since the line began, but I have finally taken the plunge. The rest of the figures are now on my want list, most with a high priority.
Tamurra, the Draenei Mage
Finally completed Giganta with the acquisition of Gentleman Ghost. And since I can't find the DCUC Hawkgirl, but bought the DC Direct Justice League of America Hawkgirl. Which I like better anyway.
November's MattyCollector.com DCUC 2 Pack Exclusive, the Color of Fear arrived, with two members of the Sinestro Corps. Also got the last wave 9 figure I needed, Mantis.
Had a good experience at a Target with an employee going a good ways out of her way to find Banshee for me, so I bought all four of the Public Enemeies figures so far released. I'm mostly trying to get the Build-A-Figure Brimstone, but who knows if we'll get Icicle and Banshee in DCUC. Also, the DVD is awesome, go get it!
I recently started following the Action Figure Blues blog, which is yet another blog that has a monthly givaway to commenters. I don't know if they just wanted me to join the forums, or if I really won the luck of the draw, but I won for October. I had my choice of the Salt Vampire from Star Trek The Original Series (by Diamond Select Toys), and Fire from Justice League International series 2 (by DC Direct). I've never actually been crazy about the aliens in Star Trek, other than Klingons and Romulans, and since that figure has been delayed and delayed and might never come out, and because I wanted Fire, I chose Fire. This of course prompted me to try harder to get the other two figures from JLI that I was interestd in, Black Canary in her 80's outfit, and Ice. And I managed to get both for $10 or $11 shipped. As you might imagine, my wife takes issues with the fleshy features of Fire's and Ice's costumes, so they'll be relegated to the back of any displays, but I'm glad to have them, who knows if or when Mattel will get around to releasing them.
Finally picked up Toyman and Supergirl from the penultimate wave of Alex Ross Justice figures. From all reports Toyman is one of the best figures DC Direct has ever done, and Supergirl's just in an odd costume. And I want to eventually acquire the entire Justice line.
I've been wanting to get Crisis on Infinite Earths Supergirl and Harbinger for a while, and I found a good deal on them, and as a bonus, got two other figures free, only one of which (Monitor) was interesting to me. Also, apparently I moved the camera while taking this picture. Despite the tripod.
DC Comics.
Got a really good deal on a Wonder Woman statue. It's not the one I really want (the Cover Girls of DC Wonder Woman statue), so I'll probably try to sell it to get money to buy the other one, though it's roughly 3 times the price.
In a couple of days I'll hopefully continue with with Marvel toys and a new line I got suckered into buying.
Edit: I just realized that every toy picture above has at least one female figure in it, and in most of them she was the focus in my comments about it.
