My 22 DC figurines arrived today, so along with my Darksied and Marvel Falcon, I'm off to a good start. 
I have the paint for my Brad Cave, so I'll be starting on that soon and then I'll get these put up. 
I'll try and start picking these up as they come out, that way it won't be such an expense.  I'll probably make some Marvel big orders to catch up next month.

From Mr. P on the figurine forum.  DC gets my money again.

Considering how large the newer figures are, she'd probably make a good She-Hulk

Lots of filing to do in order to get the leaves off if you go that way, Ryan.  Yikes! The hair is too long too.  She-Hulk isn't a character I see standing with her hair billowing out to the side like that.

Gorgeous! Can't remember Ivy looking that good in the comics.

Matt,

I don't see a problem with the hair, or almost any other part of the figurine
for the purposes of a She-Hulk make-over; however, what I can't reconcile
is the positioning of the right arm and hand. I just don't see She-Hulk/Jen
doing that.

She's just a little too feminine for She-Hulk to me.  The pose you mention might be part of it, but the hair is too long and filing those leaves would be a bitch!

Most of the conversions I've done have been heavy on filing/sanding, so no big deal there. Yeah, that right hand needs a fist at least, if not a complete reposition.  Add on some tattered pieces for torn clothes and you're ready to go.

The latest custom competition is going on over at the figurine forum. The theme for July is the JSA.  Ten entries, including one from me, are up for comments and votes. Stop on by.

I picked up Bane and AntiMonitor this WE.

AntiMonitor is huge ! But I didn't have the time to take a pic of him next to Galactus to compare the size. The pose is nice, it's a beautiful figurine.

In the Comic shop, there was half a dozen of the Buffy figurine. She is nice, but I didn't get it, I am not THAT fan of the character. I really don't know how many characters they intend to release in this collection, I would have liked a collection of "classic" movie characters, such as Alien, Robocop, Terminator and so on instead ...

Buffy, I don't know, I don' t really see how EM can hope to release more than a dozen of characters of this universe.

Nice figurine, however ...

Is this collection already released in the US or UK ?

The initial paint up of Flash, thanks to Sven at EM and Steve Reaper.

Demon has also been confirmed as a Special-sized figure. I didn't think he was that big, but I just hope they do him and his cape justice.
