Working on the Lego ‘66 Batcave I was genuinely missing a little Jill St.John figure to fall into the atomic pile. Solution: Robin’s body, Catwoman’s face, Riddler’s hair.

Yes, it was a clever design, unlike a lot of the later spacesuits that looked like NASA could have produced them.

Starting with the first TOS movie, Trek tech took a giant step backwards as everything became busier and more complicated.

A dark day has finally happened.

I have an obsessive nature, & thus need to be careful what I buy. For
example, I have got into the Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron & have been
buying far too many of these excellent ships.

One obsessive collecting line I have managed to resist is Funko Pops. This
despite some excellent X-Men, FF & Avengers figures.

For Fathers Day, I have been bought a Wolverine, that includes the cover to
mini series issue 1. Slippery slope initiated.

Steve De Young... YUP!!!  Clark is bang on... Superman is slightly off.  I want this soooo bad.

Peter Martin... Thanks man. I scoured the internet to find this puppy!! He is the centrepiece of my collection now.

I find when I see photos of “hyperrealistic” statues/figures I am instantly distrustful. There are too many instances of pictures of the actual people being blended into pictures of the models.

And MidTown comics has it for immediate sale. Hence my confusion. Everywhere I look it seems to be a different story.
