There’s no Adam Strange-r than a Starfire

Hey all, it’s Novelty here, and I guess you already know me well enough for me to not tell you that I normally blog on Toy A Day (which y’all are reading daily right?) and that I’m opening a toy for each day of 2010, and that sometimes I will take the opportunity to write about them here.  Well, it’s your lucky day today, because I’ve chosen to write about Lemonjuice’s sex life here.  Well, basically he doesn’t have one that’s worth talking about.  Now that’s out of the way…

One of these days Novelty, I’m gonna sober up and hunt you down like a dog. No idea when though… – Lemon J

DCUC Manbat: He’s a Man AND a Bat…

…pretty simple explanation right?  Who cares that he’s a scientist named Kirk Langstrom that accidentally (depending on the version) turned himself into this monstrosity?  Tragic villains are for pussies! He’s a big-ass bat, and that’s all you need to know!  This is my pathetically fashionably late review of Manbat from Mattel‘s DC Universe Classics.

The Jokes On You!

Cause there’s no review here today, suckas!  However, I guest-blogged over at Toy A Day as part of the Blog Mash Bash.  Check out my review of Mattel‘s DC Universe Classics figure of The Joker.  Click the link below the pic to read all about the Clown Prince of Crime.

DCUC Darkseid: Killing Gloves Are For…Killing!

Killing is what Darkseid does.  In fact, he does it so well that he’s attempted to kill the entire DC universe…on many, many occasions.  Today, we’re celebrating the leader of the dark New Gods with this review of Darkseid from Mattel‘s DC Universe Classics.

Jemm? Really?! :DCUC Wave 15

Holy crap! Mattel has just released images of DC Universe Classics Wave 15.   Apparently, they’ll be K-Mart exclusive for the first month or so before widespread release.  Good for you K-Mart!

Here’s Jemm…ridiculous right? Well, to see some really badass figures, and one more extremely odd one then click below…bitches!

Toy A Day: The Question Review

Deadman: Poppin’ His Collar

Boston Brand is one creepy bastard.  Well, that’s not really accurate.  Boston Brand is Deadman, and while being a ghost is kinda creepy, this new figure from Mattel’s DC Universe Classics (Wave 11) really boosts his street cred as one scary motherf***er.

Vigilante: The Name Kinda Sums Him Up.

Frank Castle Adrian Chase‘s family was killed by mobsters.  Chase then decided to seek justice in his own way as The Punisher The Vigilante.

Yep. That’s the premise of DC Comics‘ Vigilante.  Kinda familiar, right? The big difference is that Vigilante began his war on crime by trying his best to use non-lethal force.  Pussy.  However, this is a review of Mattel‘s DC Universe Classics Vigilante figure, so his lack of testicular fortitude doesn’t apply…unless you count the extremely flat crotch.

A Fistful of Bling: Cyborg Superman

Believe it or not, this is a review for a NEWLY RELEASED FIGURE.  Read on to find out how my drunken logic makes it so:

I know he’s from Wave 11, that Wave 12 has been out for a while now,  AND that Wave 13 is beginning to rear its head online; but, this guy was shipped in a case of All-Star figures.  He was still in the “old style” packaging and even came with his Kilowog C&C pieces.  I first assumed he had just been returned to the store or something, but after a trip to a few more Wal-Marts I noticed he continued to show up with the All-Stars.  I really don’t understand the logic behind this.  Sure he’s a cool enough figure, but him over a myriad of others…and why not switch the packaging?  Perhaps the factory just shit out a ton of him on accident. We may never know.

Iron Ma…Nope, Just IRON

Well guys, I’ve been fighting it but have obviously lost.  I bought this figure of Iron a few weeks ago. This was the same day that I stumbled ass backwards across a couple complete sets of DC Universe Classics Wave 12 at the local Wal-Mart.  The “Low Price Leader” had attempted to right their lack of DCUC and had spewed these much-needed additions from its disease ridden bowels, usually reserved for Marvel Transformers.  However, it was not be since my pockets only held enough green for a few of the figures.  Iron was one of the lucky ones I picked up and I was keeping him in package until I managed to actually buy the entire wave, but this week has been a drought in the hunt for toys so I freed him from his bonds and took a couple of pictures.
