I also do not care for the bobbleheads -- too kitschy for my taste.  I do have a Wonder Woman one though that isn't bad; the head isn't too disproportionate, although she's a bit mannish looking.  Even still I never would have bough it; it was a gift.

 

(Sometimes I hate that people know I like Wonder Woman.  They seem to think any piece of tat with her face on it makes a great gift!)

I will confess that I am much more generous in what I allow onto my shelf
when it comes to Wonder Woman. She is so wretchedly underrepresented in
the endless stream of Batman and Superman stuff, I feel like I have to buy
just about anything to keep her in the game!

That said, I pass on the bobble-heads -- tho not out of any general bobble-
aversion.

That's a nice Jack of Hearts. I'm glad they didn't include the pink energy discharge at the wrists.

Who designed the Jack of Hearts costume? Surely not Sal Buscema. Looks like a Cockrum?

UPDATE: okay, so Jack is a Keith Giffin creation? That sort of surprised me.

I just won an auction for this on eBay. He'll look handsome next to my 12"
Indiana Jones.

On a side note, why must Sideshow Collectible be so expensive?

*sigh*

Yeah, if the likeness wasn't so spot on, I couldn't see spending as much as I did for this figure. Being an early 60's Bond fanatic, I
felt he needed to be represented in my collection. Can't wait to receive this in the mail.

*edited for grammar*

I am glad to know that the Batman Black and white collection will be extended to other characters (the Joker and the Penguin for the moment). I hope they will release the Frank Miller version of Superman in the Dark Knight ...

I only got the FM Batman, has anyone here started to collect them all ?

Jesse, that Barda looks wonderful. I'm looking forward to seeing more "in-progress" shots as well as a look at the finished product.
