The versions of Batman in the Futura do take up a larger amount of shelf space. I'll probably feel better when I see the price tag and size of the dang thing.

Funny thing about that Bat-Shelf -- and there is a Wonder-Shelf and a Super-Shelf further along to the left -- I have found the various DC figures I have accumulated work best when grouped by character/family, but the Marvel characters seem to work best when shuffled, so my various Captain America figures are spread along the length of the shelf, for instance.

I know not why this is so!

Amusing how little the LOST IN SPACE robot is really changed by this design!

You've got 3 different levels of success in following the "Pop!" style- The first has the style (big head, little body, dot eyes), the second doesn't look altered at all, and the third just looks odd, giving it a "Chinese bootleg knock-off" feel.

Still, at under $10 a pop, I'm looking forward to adding them to the collection.
I'm hoping they add the Green Hornet and Kato one day to go with Batman & Robin. I'd also love a classic Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers.

Here's an interesting way to demonstrate the articulation of the S.H. MonsterArts figures...

Use Stop-Motion Animation!


Godzilla 64


King Ghidorah


Kiryu (Mecha-Godzilla III)

JB (and others),

I would really love to see your Wonder Woman collections.  She's always been my favorite superhero.

Thanks,
Marc

Quite a few things arrived this week...





The S.H. MonsterArts Kiryu (Mecha-Godzilla 3), and the rather elusive Ultra-Act Ultraman Hayata.

And a look at the Master File Thunderbird 2 book:



I can't say that this was a "must buy" for Thunderbird 2 fans, but it was quite fun seeing the CGI TB2 gallery:



The text was in Japanese, but there were some interesting technical graphics of the vehicle itself:

So the latest "Bombshell" from DC has been announced. . .

I'd challenge ANYONE to find the Black Canary in this piece!

(And someone should tell the designer -- if these are supposed to be based on pinups of the Forties, well, a woman with a tattoo back then was… not a very nice lady.)
