Andy, the one you're showing there is Moebius Models Batgirl, which is part of their 1966 Batman line. The rest of the kits are plastic assembly model kits. The Batgirl kit is the only one in resin, is sculpted by a different sculptor, and in a different scale for some reason (she's listed as 1:5 scale, where as the rest of the line is 1:8) Part of this may be due to Yvonne Craig's initial reluctance to license her image to Moebius Models, but she finally did give approval shortly before her death.
Any way, here's a shot of the progression of the line, although only Batman and Catwoman have actually been released thus far:
And here's a rough suggestion of how Batgirl fits into the scheme:

Picked up wave 5 of DC Collectibles Animated Batman figures. Nightwing, Bane Scarecrow and Mad Hatter.
Also recently bought a Wolverine tin sign.
Art by John Byrne from Uncanny X-Men #115 page 2.(Wolverine attacking Sauron)
It's not rectangular, but cut around the outer edge of the figure, and its embossed so it's groovy (!).

Art by John Byrne from Uncanny X-Men #115 page 2.(Wolverine attacking Sauron)•• ARRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I wish someone would track down all the copies of that image and BURN them! Sure, it was the best I could do when I did it, but it's SO poor compared to, well, just about anything that came after! As I have said before, I wish Marvel would contact some of the folk who have commissioned Wolverine drawings and "license" the use from them!

I didn't know exactly where to put this and I didn't want to create another thread just for it, so I hope it's okay that I include it here.
Today I was browsing eBay for Alpha Flight items and found something I once owned, but lost long ago and have wanted to replace ever since - however, the prices have always been outrageous! Well thanks to the BUY IT NOW feature, for $15 plus shipping, I now own this:

Also picked up a couple of Revoltech Imperial Stormtroopers from Kaiyodo, who are currently doing an homage to Danny Choo's 'Tokyo Dance Trooper'.

Early Christmas present from my wife....a homemade KING KONG blanket!
Yes, they sell KING KONG fabric apparently. The perfect gift for that stop-motion-monster-loving nerd in your life!

That's awesome, Joe. Wives that "get" us are the best, and there are a few around these parts.

I came across this Sub-Mariner statue while browsing online. It caught my eye, saw the listed price, and before I knew what hit me I realized I had clicked buy.

Anybody have any experience with these? I bought a bunch at Disney World over the holiday and was wondering how difficult they are to assemble.
