Best of San Diego Comic-Con 2011 – Buzzy Fret

Howdy, AFP viewers!

I’m finally back from San Diego Comic-Con 2011, slowly recovering from jet-lag, and making an attempt to kick start my travel-addled brain to give you my picks for Best of SDCC 2011!

3) DC Universe Classics Wave 19 Hawkman has his hooded head as a Pack-In!

DCUC wave 19 (12)

See it there, hiding behind Hawkman’s mace?

I had completely missed this at the show, and it wasn’t mentioned in either of the Mattel panels I was able to attend. It wasn’t until I got home and a friend pointed it out that I saw it. I’m incredibly happy that Mattel decided to make this Hawkman with swappable heads, as I’m not a fan of the “full beaked” mask. This improves DCUC 19 a hundred-fold for me.

He was. But before I sent these off, I snapped some pics for all you Marvel Universe fans!

Marvel Universe Giant-Size X-Men Quick Pics

MU GS X-Men 004.JPG

To spread some more Marvel love, here are some Quick Pics of the newly released Marvel Universe Giant-Size X-Men set!

For those who want to know the particulars, I picked up this set at my local TRU for the sum of $34.99 plus tax. The set is actually for Ron who is having a hard time finding it out on the Left Coast. I normally shun the 4″ Devil and all his tiny works but for a good friend like Ron, I risked the chance of falling victim to the allure of MU.
