Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #3 Cover

DC Comics released Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #3 last Wednesday. The cover features Santa Claus painting a Mary Marvel figurine. Metamorpho and Robotman in the foreground. Despite Robotman claiming that they are looking pretty snazzy, Metamorpho seems to only have a torso and a head.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Catwoman Push Pop

I called this DC Funko Kinder Joy Catwoman Push Pop a thingamajig when I first got it since I didn't know what it was called. I'm still not sure what the function is other than you can tie it on something with a string. The pushable hollow half ball doesn't make a sound or make the item flip over. The Catwoman sticker is pretty cool though.

Hot Wheels Premium Pop Culture Batman Forever Batmobile

I found this Hot Wheels Premium Pop Culture Batman Forever Batmobile at the local Walmart's on Tuesday. At $6.47, it has to be one of the most expensive Hot Wheels Batmobiles in my collection. They had the Top Gun: Maverick Jet but not the Action Comics #1 Sedan, which is the one I also want. This one will go next to my Hot Wheels Premium Pop Culture First Batmobile.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Batman Cable Holder

I'm not for sure which store I got this DC Funko Kinder Joy Batman Cable Holder from since I got eggs from the local Walmart's and Dillons. He's a little flat and doesn't stand up well on his own. I had to lean him on the DC Funko Kinder Joy Supergirl Cell Phone Holder so that's why there is red in the picture. His pose is supposed to make him look like he's climbing your cable.



Note: I didn't post a picture of the back because you couldn't see nothing but blackness. There is a hole in the back of his head.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Superman Miniature Figure

I picked up a few more DC Funko Kinder Joy eggs this morning. I found this DC Funko Kinder Joy Superman Miniature Figure. His costume is the classic comic version. He has two small half circles in the back of his head for the string that was included.

Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish #1 Cover

Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish #1 came out yesterday. The cover features Storm, Captain America (the Sam Wilson version), Spider-Man (the Miles Morales version), Kitty Pryde, Doctor Strange, Wolverine, Ben Grimm and Spider-Man (the Peter Parker version). The three stories include the Fantastic Four in "'Twas the Fight Before Christmas", the Uncanny X-Men in "Festival of Fights" and the Spectacular Spider-Men in "Resolutions". Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman and the Human Torch does appear in the Fantastic Four story along with the Thing. Several other Marvel superheroes appear briefly in the first two stories. Shame that none of the stories are centered around Captain America (the Sam Wilson version) or Doctor Strange like the cover suggests. At least, Storm and Wolverine appear more in the X-Men story that is about Kitty Pryde trying to find gifts for her friends.

Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #2 Cover

Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #2 dropped from DC Comics today. The cover features Etrigan the Demon, Deadman, Baron Winters (remember him from Night Force?) and Felix Faust. The faces of Santa Claus, Robin and Zatanna are reflected in the gold goblet.

Batgirl Christmas Funko Pop

Are Funko Pops still a thing in 2024? If so, then check out this new Batgirl Christmas Funko Pop that I found at Amazon. Officially, it's called Funko Pop! Heroes: Holiday '24 - Batgirl. She is wearing a Santa Claus cap along with a red and green cape. She is holding milk and cookies for Old Saint Nick.

Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #1 Cover

Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #1 (January, 2025) came out this week just in time to celebrate Thanksgiving today. The cover features Batman, Robin, Zatanna and Santa Claus. The story actually contains most of the Justice League. I think this is the first time that I noticed that Flash's daughter is named Thunderheart. Yes, this mini-series is a sequel to last year's mini-series.

Hot Wheels Color Changers Batmobile 2023

I finally found a Hot Wheels Color Changers Batmobile 2023. I had to go out of town yesterday and stopped at a Walmart's an hour away. I picked it up for $4.48 and am glad that I did. I never found one at our local Walmart's. I'm not planning on opening it and dipping it in water.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Black Adam Pencil Topper

I opened the last two DC Funko Kinder Joy eggs that I got Saturday morning. I ended up a Black Adam pencil topper plus another Batgirl miniature figure. He does not stand up at all since he is in his flying pose with his feet pointing down. He has a translucent blue cloud that attaches to the back of his head. I think the cloud makes it looks like his brain is coming out. I would rather have a miniature figure instead of a pencil toppler because they are easier to display.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Harley Quinn Pencil Topper

I picked up this DC Funko Kinder Joy Harley Quinn Pencil Topper Saturday morning at the local Dillons. She does not stand up on her own so I had a heck of time trying to get pictures of her. She has a square hole in the base of her head while her large mallet head has small triangle holes. To be honest, I would have preferred an actual miniature figure that would stand up instead of a pencil topper.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Batman Miniature Figure

I was surprised to find an untouched tray of DC Funko Kinder Joy eggs this morning at the local Dillons. I grabbed four but only opened two when I got home. I will probably open the other two tomorrow. I did manage to get this DC Funko Kinder Joy Batman Miniature Figure. He's in his all-black costume and he has two small half circle holes in the back of his head for the string.

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight - The Kryptonian Age #6

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight - The Kryptonian Age #6 came out this week from DC Comics. This has been a pretty good Elseworlds story. The cover shows Batman and Sheriff Clark Kent in the Old West. There are some really interesting twists on familiar characters. The last page of this issue is really cool and I can't wait for the next issue.

Women Wednesday: DC Funko Kinder Joy Wonder Woman Miniature Figure

I found this DC Funko Kinder Joy Wonder Woman Miniature Figure yesterday morning at the local Walmart's. She was the only one out of six that I didn't already have (the others were three Green Lanterns and two Batgirls). I love that she has a horsehead on her shield while holding her golden lasso in her other hand. She is wearing a blue pleated skirt and a red cape. This might be the last DC Funko Kinder Joy miniature figure that I get unless the local Walmart's stock some more.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Superman and Wonder Woman Shells

I found a tray that had six DC Funko Kinder Joy eggs this morning at the local Walmart's. One of the shells had Superman while the other had Wonder Woman. I'm not sure what the other four had because I forgot to look at them before giving three to my sister in hopes that she would have better luck at not getting extras. She ended up with two Green Lanterns and a Wonder Woman while I ended up two Batgirls and a Green Lantern. Not good considering I already had two Green Lanterns, a Batgirl and a Supergirl.

Goodnight Candyman

Sad news for Tony Todd, veteran actor behind the ‘Candyman’ horror movie franchise and more, dies at 69. His best known role was that of the Candyman in the 1992 horror movie of the same name and the sequels, Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995) and Candyman: Day of the Dead (1999). He also played Kurn, Worf's brother on Star Trek: The Next Generation, an adult Jake Sisko on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Alpha Hirogen on Star Trek: Voyager.

T-shirt Thursday: Gray Dungeons & Dragons Demi Lich T-shirt

I went to the local Walmart's on Tuesday in hopes of finding Halloween t-shirts on sale. No luck because they were all replaced by Christmas t-shirts. I did find this Gray Dungeons & Dragons Demi Lich T-shirt. This one is unusual for me for it's not black or white. Also, the Dungeons & Dragons logo is on the front while the graphic is on the back. The price was $12.98 and I grabbed the only 2XL they had. In a way, you could call this a Halloween fantasy t-shirt since it has a skull on it.

Women Wednesday: Batgirl #1 (January 2025)

Batgirl #1 (January 2025) was released today and features Cassandra Cain in her first solo series in nearly twenty years. The issue starts with Cassandra Cain aka Batgirl talking to her mother, Lady Shiva. They are attacked by ninjas in bright blue outfits that call themselves the Unburied. The mother and daughter fight each other and the ninjas before making their escape. There is an explosion at Lady Shiva's temple and they go there to find the high priest barely alive. He tries to warn her before being killed by the Unburied. Lady Shiva takes a stand against them and Batgirl joins her. Batgirl #1 (January 2025) also features "AEW Presents Darby Allin" bonus story with a special appearance by Sting. Overall, not a bad first issue if you are a Cassandra Cain and Lady Shiva fan but I find the Darby Allin story more interesting.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Shell and Insert

I went back to the local Walmart's this morning in hopes to find more DC Funko Kinder Joy eggs. Unfortunately, there is still an empty spot on the shelf where I found the earlier ones. The front of the shell has a little Joker image on it. One side of the inserts in all the ones I have gotten show Joker, Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Harley Quinn and Batgirl (I wish it was a checklist). I really wish I could download the app.



Happy Election Day 2024

It's Election Day and I'm not telling you who I'm voting for but you can probably guess.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Batgirl Miniature Figure

I picked up this DC Funko Kinder Joy Batgirl Miniature Figure at the local Walmart's last Saturday. She has two half circle holes in the back of her crowl so you can put the string through them. I'm surprised that she doesn't fall over easy due to her small feet and big head. I like this and would like to get more from the set but the store didn't have any left this past Saturday.



Yes, the front picture is blurry. I tried several times but finally gave up. My digital camera just didn't want to cooperate with me.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Supergirl Cell Phone Holder

This DC Funko Kinder Joy Supergirl Cell Phone Holder was found at the local Walmart's a couple of weeks ago. The actual holder looks like a brick wall with some bricks missing. The back of her head has a hole, which is odd because the Green Lantern one has a solid head.
