The folk at DC sent me a McFarlane Toys Superman with the Joker’s face. Based on the bit I did in one of my early issues. Very well done, except his chest is wrapped in what I think is supposed to be kryptonite chains, which was not an element of my story.

Yeah, that is odd. It's a bit of a niche figurine -- you'd have to assume the person it would appeal to is someone who has a deep attachment to that specific story -- so why add the non-faithful-to-the-story kryptonite chains?

Oddly enough, the face sculpt also looks like it's got Jack Nicholson's Joker smile and teeth!

Malice (apparently her costume is more modest with a red belly?)

Second anniversary of the arrival of my life-sized (well, big) Triceratops.

That went fast!!!

I like that he's keeping watch over your place - no matter what the weather brings! I had to go back and look at it again - he is a nice looking (massive) specimen!

A return to Lego!

Not really a TINTIN follower, but I liked the design of his “moon rocket”, so was pleased to see Lego has released a kit. Started to build it a couple of days ago and already beset by the small annoyances that ultimately pushed me away from Lego. Like the incredibly complex interior support structures that will not even be visible when the model is finished.

Also, the traditional plastic bags have been replaced with plastic lined paper. Supposedly more eco-friendly, but I am not really sure how!!
