"Look What I Just Got" Thread (Part 1)

[SteveTrevor2.0]

Since the Monkey King is now a canon DC character, I can show him off here instead of the Iceberg thread.

I’ve been eyeing this one for a while. Haven’t taken it out of the box yet. I will just savor it as it is for a while.

Found these on Aliexpress for around $3 each.
Look at the level of detail on them!

I got this one from the same company. It was labelled as “Disney Marvel Princess.” My Diana mini-figs welcome her as a sister Amazon.

And to finish, I just published another book and Amazon delivered my copy!
Amongst other things, it has a brief essay on Wonder Woman so I feel I can include it here in this thread.

The essay as I originally put it on the forum: So, I’ve Read Every Wonder Woman Comic on DC Universe Infinite…I Think

Anyway, it’s been a pretty good week for me!

Rad pick-ups, and congratulations on your latest publication!

[SteveTrevor2.0]

Very cool!

Picked up a new hat as well. As mentioned before, my sodas opened.

@DC89

Love it all, especially those snazzy 90s era Eclipso titles.

Apparently there’s a couple of Eclipso figures out there to be had. Reasonably priced as well.

Consider my hat blown away! Will Batman come over to hang out if I use that like a bat signal?

[mercurie80]

Oh, wow. That lamp is so cool!

[DreamingGirlWonder]

That lamp is awesome.

@LastSon0fMars

Consider my hat blown away

@mercurie80

Oh, wow. That lamp is so cool!

Picked up the last two WW omnibuses I was missing. We won’t talk about how much they cost.

My DC omnibus collection. Still thinking about the Death of Superman one. It might happen.

Along with a Justice League Unlimited six-pack (I forget if it was part of the Target exclusive era of JLU or the latter Matty Collector period, but I want to say it was from Target):

Speaking of JLU sixers, @Shayera.Hol might like this one:

@basicallytimdrake

Nice!

I’ve seen that at Target, in their $5 and under section. I was mighty tempted to nab it this past weekend, but I wasn’t sure how bright the illumination would be (especially as cheaper-priced items like those tend to be iffy in quality).

Knowing how neat it is now, I just might nab one.

@basicallytimdrake

Impulse is always good.

@basicallytimdrake

Very nice. The Spin Master 6-inch figures are pretty spiffy. There’s a new wave out at Five Below and similar stores right now, which includes Batman (of course), Cyborg, Robin and a repack of last year’s Superman.

I haven’t seen the new wave yet, but with Christmas on the way, I imagine it will start to pop-up in greater numbers.

@Vroom

it is, and you should
it looks amazing, and if you do get one, i would recommend turning it on, and then starring at it while playing the song Something In the Way. its a top tier experience.

@Vroom

I haven’t seen the new wave yet, but with Christmas on the way, I imagine it will start to pop-up in greater numbers.

i hope so, because the only ones I’ve seen at the few five belows that i check out frequently are Batman, Nightwing (which i grabbed a few weeks back, too), and the Joker (which i would not buy because i dislike him)

[Vroom]

Double post, Skip.

IDK…my all-time favorite Bat-movie tune is U2’s Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me, so if I do get one (and I likely will), that will likely be the tune I listen to.

'Sides, when it comes to Nirvana, I’m more of a Smells Like Teen Spirt kind-of guy, as that’s my all-time fav of theirs.

When able, check Big Lots as well, as they also carry the Spin Master 6-inch stuff.

spooky Halloween ghost haunting me or smthn idk

@Vroom

I’m more of a Smells Like Teen Spirt kind-of guy,

well, yea, i also probably like that song more, but nothing makes ya feel like batman himself like lying on the ground and blasting the song Something In the Way
