I've seen some of those 'ReAction' figures before - they're fun, if a bit of weird curiosity. For example, they've done some 'Firefly' figures in the style, which is neat from a retro angle, but not something I'd wish to spend money on (I'd rather go for a high-end collectible, like one of QMx's Serenity replicas).
However, that Rocketeer is really cool, IMO, because that kind of early '90s Kenner figure is the sort of merchandise the film never got, and sorely deserved. Thus, I like the idea that, after 23 years, we can now buy an 'original vintage' collectible, so to speak. Adding that to my personal wish-list...

The display cases I bought 8.5 years ago for my model car accumulation have become so crowded I have started experimenting with extra "layers." Using thick, clear plastic sheets and transparent "cubes" I found on Amazon. Working well enough that I will be continuing the process.

Thought of JB immediately when I saw the Bombshell Batgirl. Byrne Girl for sure!

JB, is there a specific year range, model type, or just what strikes you as cool to the car collection?

Just placed my preorder for the DC Bishoujo Starfire after seeing the photos here: [Tomopop Link] I still don't care for that rock stand and Yamashita's design doesn't replace George Perez's version as far as my preferences goes, but I like her enough.

George Perez's elfin, alien face on Starfire helped balance the fact that she was built like a pornstar. Without it, she's just "orange pornstar."

Hot Toys' first T1 Terminator figure looked great, and now they've
topped that with the iconic leather jacket/sunglasses version.
Gorgeous!
