Marvel Legends!

Marvel Legends!

Thanks for checking out the collection! Yeah, I'm a huge fan of the old Toy Biz Legends. They have their imperfections, but they took a lot of risks with the paint and articulation, which makes them especially great for posing.

Thanks to some irresistible deals I found this week I had to both restart on saving for my Vicki Riviera pre-order and rearrange my shelves. While I'm saddened to break up my Supergirl and the Legion display, the new Lois Lane and Darwyn Cooke Superman statues do make for a classier setup which may end up my permanent shelf arrangement.









Less permanent is my placement of the Modern Age Batman PF. The colors work well with the bishoujos, but the weight will definitely require a sturdier shelf or pedestal.







Here's the Yamato shelf I settled on for Discovery. I'd like to add a smaller Wei Ho piece in front of Luz Malefic but I'm waiting for the right one.





I also got the Diamond Select Catwoman bust, which is my last Animated series piece until the DC Designer Series Harley Quinn and (maybe) some of Kotobukiya's ArtFX+ figures roll out.

More Catwomen!


More tiny heroes!


No more space . . .

Vader yearns!









And, I just got into video game-based Bishoujos!




Juri's an instant favorite!

Awesome updates!

Incredible DC collection!

Thank you! I hesitated for the longest time on the ArtFX+ line, as metallic paint apps and New 52 designs are usually deterrents for me; but it's a perfect combination in-hand. I wish my poor camera phone pics did a better job of selling the effect.

Bought the lovely new Suicide Squad Harley, the Lee Bermejo Joker and Iron Studio Harley from Lovepumper (who's selling more of his awesome collection here on the forum.) I don't particularly like the Endgame Joker ArtFX+, so I substituted an old DC Killing Joke figure for my 1:10 Batman display.





The other welcome addition is the Attakus Vicki Riviera, which took Marilyn's center spot.







Luckily Marilyn has a space of her own next on my Ditko/Kirby/Wood bookshelf. The overhead puck is much more flattering than my drab studio lighting.

Vicki is Amazing! So glad you got her. She is very happy in your collection

Thanks! Me too. I hope you're just as happy with yours!

I like that she feels very solid but still manages to be somewhat light for the size. The Batman PF is too heavy to ever adjust the display angle, but Vicki is very easy to turn and has quite a few flattering ones.

I'll be lugging her home today. big box but it is not super heavy. I do love a staute with some weight, but some of them are a pain to move.

Library update:



DC stuff is overtaking my shelves! Ritual and Luz Malefic are the sole survivors until another quarter scale piece arrive (I have high hopes for Prime 1's New 52 Wonder Woman.) I love the Superman vs. Wonder Woman diorama as a bridge between the two sides.









Couldn't fit all the Legionaries in the shot since (finally) acquiring Silver Age Superboy and Krypto (see previous posts for the rest of the lineup.) Supergirl and Streaky from the same set are below with the rest of the Superman family and the Smallville sign is behind the crashed rocket diorama above.




Luthor throwing shade.

Studio update:










Vicki's the best! I'll let you all know first when I'm selling the rest of my collection, but she stays.





Kitty shrine!







Added ArtFX+ Alfred to setup. Not even an exaggeration to say he has one of the best paint jobs in a consistently outstanding line. The flesh tones really pop against the matte black and white outfit.



I no longer have this arrangement, but I wanted to show off Bombshells Black Canary where I could decent lighting (for a change.) Hawkgirl is my favorite conceptually, but Sam Greenwell's sculpt for BC makes her my favorite in execution.







And here are some bonus shots taken under that wonderful lounge lighting:

Love that shot of bombshell canary and zatanna. Nicely done

Thanks! I probably should've waited to get fancy with the photography until after I fixed her pinky finger.

First update of the new year. Lots of new stuff; still tweaking some arrangements.

























And the best for last . . .
