Another over-the-top video featuring the Bandai toy of the iconic Expo 70 "Tower of the Sun" statue in Osaka, that transforms into a giant robot:

This Star Girl statue came out nice. 


Sadly, she was still 14 or 15 pre-Nu52, so it creeps me out a bit.

More anachronistic tattooing!

Hope it's ok that I post this here. I just saw these pieces of wall art at Ross on clearance (there were a couple of other DC covers behind these).

The tattoos throw these pieces off. I couldn't see any on Hawkgirl. I hope that holds.

I hope this is the right place for this, apologies if it's not. During my recent move I found some old toys and thought it'd be cool to share them.
This first one was made by Corgi Juniors in Great Britain, I cant find a date on it.


This second one is made by Hot Wheels/ Mattel and is dated 1976

If you hold it up to the light and look through the back you see this image inside(sorry this is the best photo I could get)


I have other stuff that I'd like to share as long as it's cool with everyone.

Lois Lane and Mera don't have any tats that I can see. I've ordered Hawkgirl, and I think I'll get Lois, because I like the concept of Lois dressed as a Newsie.

Zatanna, unfortunately, has word tattoos on her chest.

I found this nice ED-209 figure at Baltimore. The detail is really nice on this. Everything on this is movable/poseable.
It also has voice commands and sound effects. Of course, it is nothing like the 1/6 scale from Sideshow; that thing is a beast!

I kinda like this guy (from the link Michael posted):


Is this a one-off, or part of a series in this style?  I only collection Wonder Woman figures, but I would buy one of her in this style.

Based on the pictures, the Lois face seems to have strayed quite a bit off model between painting and product.

Picked this up recently. Became a kind of "it begins" moment with Doctor Who figures
