The Destroyer of Asgard
A few years back there was a variant Iron Man figure in the Marvel Legends line that ToyBiz repainted as the Destroyer from Thor comics. Aside from that, fans of the Destroyer have been out of luck...until now. This Destroyer came out with the Thor movie figure line and looks great alongside my 6" figure collection. He's bigger, as he should be, but not TOO big. Unlike the Marvel Legends, this guy doesn't have much articulation, but he doesn't really need it either. He has a great, intimidating pose and his metallic paint wash looks great, especially with light shining on it. Too cool!

Green Lantern from Korugar
The newest addition to the Green Lantern Corps. is Lantern Soranik Natu from Korugar! She is the on-again, off-again girlfriend of my favorite lanter, Kyle Raynor, and the daughter of classic GL villain, Sinestro! Not much else to say here. She's a fun character and DC Direct did a great job with her sculpt and paint job. The metallic green against the matte black is a nice touch. Enjoy!

The Guardian of Grayskull
February was a great month for MOTU Classics fans. Here is the 2nd figure I was lucky enough to add to my collection...The Sorceress!
The Sorceress comes with her staff and Zoar, her Falcon form (She has to transform into a falcon to leave Castle Grayskull). Mattel did a great job on the details here. What could have been a plain, boring dress gets accentuated by etched and meticulously painted feathers on the ends of the skirt and headdress. Another nice touch is that when you raise her arms, her wings automatically spread out. You can choose to have the wings up or down, but it's cool that they do that automatically. Enough talking about it, check out the pix!
BTW, you can see a close-up view of the pix by clicking on them...just so you know.

She came from OUTER SPACE!
I missed this figure when she was release online, but luckily I found her at my local comic shop. It's Captain Glenn (a.k.a. Queen Marlena)!
In case you weren't aware, Prince Adam's mother is NOT from Eternia. She's from Earth! Before she was a queen, she was Captain Marlena Glenn, courageous space explorer. One of her experimental flights took her through a wormhole or something and she crash landed on Eternia. A handsome, young Captain of the Guard, Randor, discovered her and nursed her back to health...then married her!
This figure came with the ability to change back and forth from Captain Glenn to Queen Marlena, but I like her astronaut version so well that I honestly haven't even put together the Queen version. Check out her Sci-Fi awesomeness!
She came with a cool accessory...Cringer! He doesn't have any moving parts, but he's a great addition to the collection. He's much smaller than Battle Cat, which makes sense. I only wish I had Prince Adam to stand by him!

Return to Eternia
This month saw the release of 2 incredible new figures in the Masters of the Universe Classics series, The Sorceress and Fisto. I'm presenting Fisto in this post.
Fisto is one of the best figures in the series so far. The detail on this guy is amazing!
He also came with some sweet accessories. He has an extra head, belt, and sword to turn him into the 200X version from the more recent cartoon. I'm choosing to display his classic version, but the 200X version is pretty awesome. Check him out below!
Stay tuned for pics of the Sorceress...COMING SOON!

Mighty Muggs!
Sorry for the lack of pictures this Winter. We just moved to Houston and are still getting settled. Here are some quick fun pics though!
This is my little Mighty Mugg collection. They are about 5" tall and are made entirely from recycled plastic. My cousin, Jacob, started the collection by giving me Snake-Eyes. I added Wolverine, and then as I was leaving Shreveport, my buddy, Brad donated Spidey to the cause. I threw some light on them earlier today, took out my trusty phone camera and went to work. I hope you enjoy the big-headed awesomeness.

Deadpool Variant
Sorry for the long break between posts. I ran out of usable pics from my first large photoshoot and haven't had time to shoot any new ones. This summer I borrowed my mother's nice camera, but I can't figure out how to keep the flash from turning on automatically, so all my pics are nice and bright...even when I wanted shadows. I'll figure it out.
I'm in the process of trying to shrink my collection by selling many of my figures on ebay. In this move, I'm trying to make some painful cuts, because if I kept every figure I liked...I wouldn't get rid of any! This is one of the figures I really like, but that just didn't make the cut to stick around.
This is the X-Men Costume Variant Deadpool. I bought him at Toys R Us in a 2-pack with a very cool-looking Thunderbird figure. As much as I like this figure, specifically the sculpting on his mask, he's kind of hard to stand up and I was really hoping to get the classic red & black suit. Therefore, he's outta here. Before he gets shipped out, I had to take some pics first. That is one of the best head sculpts I've seen in a while! Look at the detailed expression on his face even though he wears a mask! Very nicely done.
