Black Arachnid

My final Sideshow Spider-Man 3 bust has arrived! Joining my "Dynamic Duo", comes the SDCC Exclusive Black-Suited Spider-Man. Limited to 1500 & nicely sculpted by Martin Canale, this bust truly captures the emotional torment that Peter Parker goes through when wearing the black alien symbiote suit.

New • Soft • Oldies

My latest Transformers acquisitions:

Takara-Tomy Transformers Encore Reissues


01-Convoy (Optimus Prime) & 02-Megatron



03-Soundwave with Condor (Laserbeak) & 04-Starscream

These are mass-market reissues of the original Transformers toys, first released in 1985. This is the fourth Takara reissue for Convoy, third reissue for Megatron & Starscream, & the second reissue for Soundwave. What I like about this series is the packaging, they look almost exactly like the old box designs except for some of the logos. Nostalgia sweetness! Don't think I'll be removing the toys from their boxes though, since I already opened their previous reissues.




Also just got these:


Hasbro Transformers Plushes: Slumblebee & Softimus Prime
& yes, they actually do Transform! (lol)
I can't thank BH enough for bringing these 2 back from the States for me!

The Undead Colonel

From pages of the popular Marvel Zombies mini-series, comes this SDCC Exclusive Colonel America Bust by Diamond Select. Dead & Zombie-fied, Colonel America is nicely sculpted in all his gory by William Paquet. The paint is also satisfactory, especially the gloss used on the bloody areas for a "moist" effect. As for why is he called Colonel America & not Captain? & why the Colonel is missing part of his head? Go read the comic! *Spoiler: He did it to himself (in a way). lol

Also bought a new Marvel Zombies T-Shirt to commemorate the new purchase.



Much thanks to Ann for hooking me up with the bust!
