JB,

LOVE that Showcase Batgirl!!  No black marker needed for that costume, huh?  I plan on getting that one too.  However, that figure will represent a kind of sad reminder each time I look at it;  you see, I LOVE the black costume and the red purse/utility bag and have come to actively dislike the grey costume. 

I was wondering, do you think the face looks faithful to that classic Infantino drawing?  I can't make it out in detail, and won't be able to until I purchase one.  For some reason, I am thinking it lacks the "soft" "pretty" face that Infantino gave Batgirl in those early appearances.

And the final bit of cleaning is done, so here are a few shots of the Star Trek Shelf in the dining room:

Man, but they are real good...I'll try to rediscover them...

********************************************************

JB ... that was a piece that I had custom made for me.  Next to Aurora, Talisman was my favorite of your characters and designs from your days on Alpha Flight, and the team would never be complete without her as far as I was concerned, so I commissioned her for my collection.

Here is a better picture of her





If you like her (and or Sasquatch), I would be more than happy to get one for you.

Gary ... the Wonder Man was produced by Thrust Resin as a limited kit ... the one you have pictured there was built and painted by David Whitford.

Peillon, I painted them red with black pupils, but I'm honestly not sure if that was right.  Maybe JB can chime in and help us both out.
