DC + Joe + Vintage Goodness

Image
Orniphus covered all the bases with this latest trade package.The two modern DC figures ,Joker and Two Face will help bolster my small line up of  modern DC figs while the Darkseid figure helps the vintage side of my collection. Joes are always a plus ,and even more of a plus when the figure Is Zartan!These are figures that I would have ,at some point ,picked up on  E bay  ,so Orniphus has saved me from going through the trouble of  finding these figures at less than scalper prices.So,thanks again D!stay tuned for a more in depth look at all 4 within the next couple of days.

It's kind of like putting my MU series 1 Iron Man to battle It out against the Avengers movie version of  Ultron. It just wouldn't look right.I needed a universal Batman figure.One that would fit In pretty much any universe and not look so  out of place In the process.I took to Ebay to find just that,and thought I was successful In finding that Goldilocks Batman figure.Enter Infinite Heroes Public Enemies Batman. Infinite Heroes was DC's answer to  Marvel Universe,or vice versa.It's a line with a ton of ...
