That's too bad -- your TwoFace was damaged, too!



What?

Ha, not quite! His head is chipped, though, and he just doesn't look right.

I don't have much luck with figurines lately. I also subscribe to the BEASTS AND BEINGS collection here in the UK and my Ogre figurine has lost a hand after I dropped him (so soon after opening the packet). Glue didn't work - someone at home has commented it looks better because it looks like a beast that has lost a hand in battle, but I'm not convinced.

It's gonna be a hell of a summer for Batman, with the release of Two Face, Killer Croc and Scarecrow this week !

Killer Croc is fine, the finish is far better than Doomsday (could not be worse in fact ...).

Some new arrivals from my Brit based chums, back in town for August.
Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, Ra's al Ghul, Catwoman and, of course,
Darkseid!

Sure would be nice to at least get these guys on order at some point.  Any favorites among the new arrivals, JB?

Darkseid and GA are nicely done. Wonder Woman needs her eyes slightly
touched up (and there is a small chip on the tip of her nose I'll have to fix).
The rest are pretty good, too. As before, they seem somehow "softer" than
the Marvel sculpts --- tho the Marvel figures tend to be heading that way,
too.

Here are some close-ups, before I set to tinkering. . .





Note that these are, despite the tendency of the backgrounds to seem to
blend together, individual images, and so not to scale.

This is a hot summer for Batman this year ! Look at what I got last week ...

You have got to hold the Scarecrow in your hands to believe such details exist at this size !!! I was kind of disapointed with the clumsy paintjob on WW and Doomsday, but I think you will agree that the quality is better since the release of Luthor. Killer Croc is great too, even if I don't like this "Jim Lee design".
