Ordered the Stargirl - here's hoping for a S.T.R.I.P.E. special in the near future!

Picked up Hourman (II) for me and Batgirl (Babs) for my daughter. Batgirl is very nice!

Looks like some judicious sanding could get Swamp Thing back to Berni Wrightson configurations.  Worth a shot.

Nice looking Swamp Thing, but not sure I'll get it.

Got the Anti-Monitor yesterday. No particular love for the character, but he's a biggie and I got a deal on him, and since my villains count is no where near what my heroes count is...
 
 I'm such a sucker for these things!

 Me too. I started buying these because I wasn't buying as many comics, so no net gain in money at all!

Arrived today Arisia, the Phantom Stranger, and Mxyzptlk/Bat-Mite.  Okay sculpts, but once again the scales are all over the map, Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite so far off I felt I could not even stand the piece alongside the others in the series.  And none compare well to the Marvel figurines that came in the same bundle.

I picked up the Phantom Stranger on Saturday. Looks good, but the  blue/black thing is odd in reality.
  Mxyzptlk/Bat-Mite, Superboy, and Animal Man are on the way via mail  order.

I think I will paint that out with flesh tone, then streak in some light gray, in layers, until it looks more like a shadow and less like a mask.

That's it, but I'm not talented enough redo the paint job.
