DC Universe Classics Super Friends

I’ve been taking pictures of some of action figure groups I have on my shelves, but this collection of the heroes that appeared on the Hanna Barbera Super Friends cartoon isn’t one of them. No, it’s not that I have a disdain for the cartoon figures in action figure lines (more on that below) – it’s just that the bulk of the characters are part of a broader Justice League of America display on my shelves. There’s no doubt, however, that the cartoon heavily influenced the character and decos of the figures in DC Universe Classics, so as I prepare for some reorganization on my shelves, I wanted to capture this group.

DC Universe Classics Justice Society of America (Modern)

Closing out my group pictures of the Justice Society of America, here’s the modern team, or more accurately, the one from the run of James Robinson, David Goyer, and later Geoff Johns. Although my introduction to the modern team was with Johns’ solo work when DC restarted the series at #1, I found that I preferred reading the back issues from Robinson and Goyer. So, my shelf excludes later additions to the team like Magog or Commander Steel as a Citizen Steel stand-in. And, I’m sure to VeeBee’s disapproval, I don’t feel I’m missing out, not having a Cyclone or (to a lesser extent) Liberty Belle.

Hot Toys Reveals The Dark Knight Joker 2.0 MMS DX

I am a huge fan of the original Hot Toys The Dark Knight Joker MMS DX, and they’ve just revealed the second version, which they’re calling Joker 2.0. I can’t tell if the PERS head is changed from the original, but the sequel will come with an alternate laughing head, a bunch of other accessories (including a desk with magic trick pencil – uh oh!) and upgraded cloth goods, which are described in this interview with Hot Toys costume artist Kato.

SDCC 2012: Superman, the Flash, Batman and SDCC Exclusive Bane USB Flash Drives

With The Dark Knight Rises opening the week after Comic-Con, you can bet there’s going to be some Batman and Bane madness. And if you want some portable storage for your SDCC footage of the Warner Bros. panel (or whatever digital media you need to carry in your pocket, you can pick up one of 500 Bane flash drives exclusive to the show. I’m sure they’ll have the rest there too, including the previous runs of Batman and Green Lantern flash drives.

I think Mimoco ought to pick up the Marvel license, so they can make a Leader MIMOBOT.

DC Universe Classics Justice Society of America (Old School)

I’ve been snapping some group shots of teams I have on my shelves, and here’s the latest, of my classic Justice Society of America. I had to reconfigure my photo setup (perhaps a post for another time), and one of the results is that I can take pictures of larger groups (and larger figures). I may have missed spring cleaning, but think this is leading up to some shuffling that I need to do to clear some shelf space. But the JSA is likely going to remain on my shelves – I’ve just got a nostalgic soft spot for whose old cross-over stories in the old Justice League of America comics. Mattel has done pretty well by this team – I’ve only got one minor custom, which was a head replacement for Alan Scott (head size for DCUC figures is another post for another time).
