Women Wednesday: Jinny Hex Special #1

Jinnny Hex Special #1 is now on sale and I highly recommend it. Jonah Hex makes a cameo and the issue introduces a new villain by the name of Three-Eyed Jack (you won't believe who he actually is). There is even a surprise guest star at the end. I'm really hoping that she gets a regular series.

Marvel Revels New Spider-Man Costume

According to New Spider-Man costume revealed by Marvel, Dustin Weaver was the designer. The base colors are now blue and white instead of the traditional blue and red. He will have grey and orange highlights while his mask will have orange goggles. Peter Parker is still the man in the suit, which will first appear in The Amazing Spider-Man #61 that will hit the stands in March 2021. The following images are variant covers of #62 and #63 featuring Spider-Man's new costume.

Countdown to Christmas 2020 Day 9: Deadpool With Turkey Funko Pop

I should have done a Countdown to Thanksgiving this year so I could have posted this Deadpool with Turkey Funko Pop back in November. Some people have a big old Butterball for their Christmas meal but we usually have ham. I love that he is wearing an apron and oven mitts. He would make a great gift for the Marvel cook in your life.

Countdown to Christmas 2020 Day 8: Hot Wheels Flintstones Flintmobile

I found this Hot Wheels Flinstones Flintmobile at the local Dillons store last week. It's #235 of 250 of the 2020 line and #4 of 10 in the HW Screen Time line. Yes, there is a slot at the bottom for Fred to stick his feet through so he can get it going. The Flintmobile has been released several times over the years but this is the first one that I ever found in the wild.

Countdown to Christmas 2020 Day 7: Hot Wheels TV Batmobile Kroger Exclusive

I found this Hot Wheels TV Batmobile Kroger Exclusive last week at the local Dillons store. It's a variant of #197 of 250 and #4 of 5 in the Batman line. I love the satin red color that makes it pretty cool looking.

Goodnight, Dave Prowse

Sad news for Dave Prowse, Man Behind Darth Vader’s Mask, Is Dead at 85.

Marvel Studios Heroes #7 The Wasp Action Figure

The seventh action figure in the Marvel Studios Heroes toy line is the Wasp. Not only is she the only woman that I got in the McDonald's Happy Meal but she was also the last figure that I received in that set. Yep, I only got four out of the nine action figures. I will probably be looking for the others at the local thrift stores next year.

If you push the button on the back of her head, her wings move.

One final note that I haven't mentioned before. All the action figures in the Marvel Studios Heroes toy line can be connected together side by side.

Marvel Studios Heroes #5 Planted Groot Action Figure

The fifth action figure in the Marvel Studios Heroes toy line is the Planted Groot.

If you push the button on his back, then his head and arms move.

Marvel Studios Heroes #2 Winter Soldier Action Figure

The second action figure in the Marvel Studios Heroes toy line is Winter Soldier. I can't get over how big his nose looks.

If you push the button in his back, then his robotic arm moves up and down.

 

Marvel Studios Heroes #1 Falcon Action Figure

The first action figure toy from the Marvel Studios Heroes Happy Meal is Falcon.

If you press the button on the back of his head, then his wings move up and down.

Marvel Studios Heroes Happy Meal Box

I actually got a few of the Marvel Studios Heroes Happy Meals from the local McDonald's in October. The front of the box features Black Widow in her white outfit. The right panel features "The Power of Protein" so you can turn your milk into a super hero with a punch out Vision cape.

The back panel shows only a smile to put you in a happy mood. The left panel lists all the action figures available in the Marvel Studios Heroes Happy Meal and includes: Falcon, Winter Soldier, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Potted Groot, Gladiator Hulk, The Wasp, Hulkbuster and Black Widow.

I will be showing the action figure toys that I got in the next few days.

Women Wednesday: Punchline #1

First, here is the summery for Punchline #1 now on sale:

Spinning out of the pages of "The Joker War" comes the first solo book starring the blockbuster new character Punchline. As she faces the consequences for her role in "The Joker War," the story of how Alexis Kaye became Punchline will take Leslie Thompkins, Harper Row, and Cullen Row on a harrowing journey that reveals a fringe teenager's radicalization to the ideology of a madman.

I actually found myself enjoying the story and artwork more than I thought I would. My main reason for enjoying this issue had more to do with Harper Row aka Bluebird and her brother, Cullen, than that of Punchline herself. The artwork is surprisingly bright considering how dark the artwork usually is in the Batman books. I can actually read the white text on black background. Overall, I give this issue a B-.

Long Live The Legion Now At DC Universe Online

I got a new email from DC Universe Online today. They have a new episode titled Long Live the Legion. Here is their description of it:

Sure wish I could download the game and play. The above picture shows Supergirl, Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Static fighting Validus of the Fatal Five.

Here is what Emerald Empress, who is also a member of the Fatal Five looks like along with Validus and Mordru:

Just received news from the Mistress of the Dark that you can now pre-order the Elvira Living Dead Doll. She stands ten inches tall and has five points of articulation. She comes in a window box and has a dagger that she can hold or store in her waist belt. Here is what she looks like:

Teen Titans Go Costume Figures in Sonic Wacky Packs

I just received the latest offers from Sonic in my inbox and they are now offering Teen Titans Go! Costume Figures in their Wacky Packs. This would have been so cool to have during the month of October to, you know, help celebrate Halloween. Yes, I still want to have them anyway.

Here's what they say about the figures at SonicWackyPack.com:

Goodnight Sir Thomas Sean Connery

I am still sad after reading Actor Sean Connery, the ‘original’ James Bond, dies at 90. He passed away on Halloween 2020.

Countdown to Halloween 2020 Day 31: Halloween PEZ 2020 Trio

I actually found the following Halloween PEZ 2020 trio at a Walgreen's while on a road trip out of town a few weeks ago. I was actually looking for the Thanksgiving Dinner Candy Corn (they are nasty by the way) when I found these. The store had only these three available and I found out later that only the Angry Pumpkinhead PEZ is new for 2020 (PEZ calls him Scary Pumpkin but he looks more angry to me).

First up is Angry Pumpkinhead PEZ with a black body:

The Happy Pumpkinhead PEZ originally came out in 2018 and has a green body:

The Vampire Boy PEZ originally came out in 2013 but he is officially called Baby Vampire:

Here is what the back of the Halloween PEZ 2020 card looks like (note that they show Mummy, Ghost, Bat, Pumpkin and Witch):

Each came with a pack of candy corn flavored PEZ candy (the taste is faint to me but they are tons better than the Turkey Dinner Candy Corn):

I still have the PEZ Witch from 2011 still in the package.

This post wraps up the Halloween 2020 season for Moongem Comics. I hope you enjoyed my posts this year and be sure check other sites at Countdown to Halloween.
