I hear so much good stuff about this thing, but everytime I look at the price and realize I can pay for both MP Optimus Primal and SS Double with that kind of money I'm like "Nope".
Price might be worth it, but it’s too rich for my blood, plus I don’t care about Diaclone anyways. Your photos are gorgeous as always though, I love them. |

Nick Fury don't take shit from anybody. Not even killer animatronics. |

Good news, the next wave of DC Icons are finally out.
Bad news, my comic shop only got Harley in. I had them preordered at BBTS, but I really wanted to have Superman in hand today. Oh well. I picked her up so I could get something today. Harley herself is fantastically sculpted and I'm so glad I didn't go after that overpriced Mad Love 2 pack Mattel snuck out into scalper arms several years ago. The only negatives are that I wish she had her open smiling face head instead of the closed lips one and she only comes with a gun holding hand for the left arm, not the right. That kind of sucks. Oh yeah as does the lack of having any open hands. It's either fists or gripping hands. Nevertheless, the articulation is fantastic, she isn't as thing as a twig, and the paint apps are pretty nice. Anyway the pics: http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9esqe0fw.jpg http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/...pscygzdo46.jpg http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/...pshzyt8ovw.jpg http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7o9ijpmj.jpg http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/...pstz0gybsy.jpg |

The sculpt is fantastic and he can hold his trident. The alternate head with the fish call thing is a nice touch and his heads are pretty nice looking. Unfortunately, the trident is very flimsy, so you need to becareful with it or it is going to break with ease. I love that he also has three sets of hands to choose from. Superman: http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/...psnlzvrc8h.jpg http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8kl3vi4a.jpg http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/...pshsnm7hnm.jpg http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/...psbpon5n8o.jpg So uh... Superman... yeah... He is probalby my least favorite Icons figure to date. It is a shame too because he has so much greatness going on. The sculpting is great, especially on there hair. The chest and cape have the pentagon shape for the symbol sculpted on. The hair is fantastic. However, his left arm looks off when the elbow isn't bent due to how big his bicep is and the gaps between the legs and the waist is HUGE!! It looks fine some certain angles, but when you look at him straight on, it just looks terrible. The bigger gap doesn't even help him with leg articulation either. In fact, I don't get why this wave was delayed because there is nothing on him to show any sort of improvements to justify it. He doesn't even have boot rotation like all of the other Icons with boots do. Don't get me wrong, I think this figure puts the Mattel one to shame still, but I don't know what happened with this figure when they designed him. I just hope the next incarnation of Superman they do in the Icons line (that isn't N52) is done with a lot more care. If you are like me and need to have him in your collection, don't let the negatives stop you. However, if you are pretty meh on Superman overall, and are just collecting your favorites in the Icons line, you might want to skip him. Oh, his robot is pretty cool though. He is a great edition despite the fact that we lost out on a third set of hands for him. |

After having her for around a year, I finally opened SHF Injustice Harley Quinn. Surprise surprise, she's pretty great.
