At some point late tonight or tomorrow, Casimir at Raving Toy Maniac is going to publish the final day of CustomCon 25, and my meager entry, called Dangerous Deities, will get posted. I promised Casimir that I would have this recipe page up by the time that came around, but since I’m not quite sure when he’ll push the button, this is going up at Midnight CST.
To be completely honest, I wasn’t even going to bring my camera to WonderCon at first. My wife and I were only going to be able to go for a few hours one afternoon, and although WonderCon is organized by the same folks who handle San Diego Comic-Con, it doesn’t attract the the toy manufacturers like SDCC does. As we were getting ready to walk out the door, I thought, why not?
This is it! We’re down to Green Arrow and Kilowog. Now it’s up to you to determine which figure deserves the trophy. Vote now!
How appropriate that MARCH Madness would bring us two final combatants in green to duke it out in the center of the universe Oa – home of the Green Lantern Corps! You have voted, you have sent 126 figures packing and now, just one more to fall in defeat and one to rise in victory – the DCUC March Madness Finals are here!
Gone are the favorites, the upsetters, the expecteds, the surprises, the cinderellas, etc – we are down to the final two figures you feel most worthy of fighting for the title of best DC Universe figure. Not much more to say except – vote now as the final poll will close on April 6th and we will wrap up the whole tournament on April 7th.

Without further ado, we head to Oa for these two gladiators of the action figure world to battle for your affections!
Finals
Green Arrow vs Kilowog
Green, green, green! Will fan favorite figure, Ollie Queen be able to withstand the favorite Collect and Connect with home court advantage? You decide!
This is a guest review by SalemCrow. A short while ago, he reviewed the Mattel WWE Entrance Greats Triple H and Elite Series 1 Undertaker, CM Punk, and Rey Mysterio Jr.
Salem here with my second Hot Toys review. This time around I’m going to cover the Wolverine figure from X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
After I received my DX01 Joker figure, I knew I was going to get sucked into buying another Hot Toys figure; I just wasn’t sure which one it would be. Then I saw the initial pictures of this figure, and knew what it would be.
When I found about this WonderCon exclusive pair of Blackest Night figures from DC Direct and Graphitti Designs, it reminded me of last year’s San Diego Comic-Con exclusive 5-pack of rainbow-colored Hal Jordans. I did not brave the reportedly horrific lines then – each figure was sold on a different day, and you had to line up in the registration area for a chance to win the right to buy the figure that day.
For the Black Lantern Hal Jordan and White Lantern Sinestro at WonderCon, you still had to line up in the registration area, but if you were lucky, you’d get the chance to buy both figures in one shot. Since I live near San Francisco, the site of WonderCon, I figured I’d take a shot.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank my wife. She came to WonderCon with me, braved the ticket line 6 times, and finally drew the red ticket that let me buy this set. I feel for the folks who endured the pain of this at San Diego last year. If you worked for that set of five Hals, you really earned it.
