Women Wednesday: The Wasp from Avengers: Twilight #6

Avengers: Twilight #6 is out today from Marvel and the Wasp catches a falling bomb. The mini-series is very good with each issue better than the last.

Marvel Nick Fury Coke Can 2024

This Marvel Nick Fury Coke can was given to me by my sister. I'm not even trying to collect the series this year. She likes Coke and I don't. Besides I'm a little miffed that you have to scan the image to unlock extra content. After several tries, I gave up because the page just doesn't load on my phone. It's more frustrating than fun.

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Ghost-Spider

I not only found one Mavel Nano Pods Wave 2 Ghost-Spider but I ended up finding three of them. I'm pretty sure this one is based on the Marvel's Soidey and His Amazing Friends cartoon series. I have seen a few episodes and it's pretty good.

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Spider-Man

This Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Spider-Man is the fifth miniature figurine that I found at the local Walmart's for a dollar each. He looks like he is doing a sumo wrestler pose.

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Black Widow

It's Friday and the start of the three-day Memorial Day weekend. Today's post spotlights the Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Black Widow that I recently picked up. She is wearing her white costume and has red hair.

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Star-Lord

This Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Star-Lord is another one that I picked up last week at the local Walmart's. He has his helmet on and holding his two blasters up. To be honest, he's my least favorite Guardians of the Galaxy miniature figurine from this set.

Women Wednesday: DC Comics Ooshies Hawkgirl Classic Pencil Topper

Breaking News: I finally found a DC Comics Ooshies Classic Hawkgirl Pencil Topper to complete my set. I picked up the last eighteen mystery bags that the local Walmart's had for a dollar each on Tuesday morning. Naturally, she's slightly shorter and thinner than the DC Comics Ooshies Hawkman Classic Pencil Topper. Along with her, I also got Aquaman, Batman Glitter, five Cyborgs, Flash, two Hawkmans, three Lex Luthors, Robin Bronze, Tornado Bronze and Wonder Woman Rebirth so let me know if you need any of them (Cyborg and Lex seems to be the most common).

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Uniform Rocket Raccoon

This Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Uniform Rocket Raccoon is another one that I picked up last week. He is wearing his new uniform as seen in the Guardians of the Galaxy 3 movie, which I have yet to see (yes, I'm way behind with the Marvel movies). The miniature figurine is holding a weapon pointing up and he has a really angry look.

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Potted Groot

I found this Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Potted Groot last week at the local Walmart's for a dollar. Pretty cool for a miniature figurine.

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Boxes and Inserts

I found eight boxes of Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 at the local Walmart's last week. They were in the clearance aisle for a dollar each so I got them all. I think I might have seen them earlier this year in the toy aisle but I passed on them because they were between five and six dollars. Half of the boxes had the round clear sticker peeled half off so it appeared that they had either been tampered with or the quality control at Wow! Stuff really sucks. The pods are two by two inches, which makes the figurines about an inch tall. The Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 includes the following miniature figurines: Super Rare Metallic Star-Lord, Uniform Rocket Raccoon, Black Widow, Star-Lord, Captain Marvel, Attack Rocket Raccoon, Potted Groot, Thor, Spider-Man, Ghost-Spider, Miles Morals, Spider-Man 2099 and Anti-Venom. I will be posting what figurines I got in future posts.

Hot Wheels Monster High Ghoul Mobile Take 2

I posted about the Hot Wheels Monster High Ghoul Mobile back in February. That was the common lavender version. Last week, I picked up the black variant version at the local Dollar Tree. I then picked up another lavender version at the local Dollar General because I honestly couldn't remember getting one back in February.

Hot Wheels Batman 5-Pack 2022

I found this Hot Wheels Batman 5-Pack 2022 this past Tuesday morning at the local Walmart's. I don't know if this is a re-release or they found an old box in the back room. Anyway, I didn't have it so I had to get it for my collection even though it was $5.97. The first is a red Muscle Bound diecast car featuring Robin. The second is a '11 Dodge Charger R/T Gotham City Polica car. The third is a light blue '49 Merc diecast car featuring Batgirl. The fourth diecast car is the TV Series Batmobile. Finally, the fifth diecast is The Bat aircraft from the movie, The Dark Knight Rises.

Women Wednesday: DC Comics Ooshies Wonder Woman Rebirth Pencil Topper

This DC Comics Ooshies Wonder Woman Rebirth Pencil Topper is the second new one that I got yesterday morning. She does have a tendacy to fall backwards when I try to stand her up due mostly to her big head, which is mostly hair, and her very tiny body. I now have seventeen pencil toppers from the set of eighteen. I just need the Hawkgirl Classic pencil topper to complete the set.

DC Comics Ooshies Tornado Bronze Pencil Topper

I picked up ten more mystery bags of the DC Comics Ooshies pencil toppers for a dollar each this morning at the local Walmart's (they still have a few more left). I ended up getting eight repeats (Aquaman, Batman Glitter, Batman Hologram, two Black Canarys, Flash, Hawkman and Lex Luthor). One of the two new ones that I got included this DC Comics Ooshies Tornado Bronze pencil topper. To me he will always be Red Tornado even though this version should have been called Bronze Tornado but I digress. His legs have been replaced by a partial tornado, which makes him the only DC Comics Ooshies pencil topper that is actually using his powers.

Today is Free Comic Book Day and to celebrate Image Comics is offering The Walking Dead #1 (yes, the tv show is based on this comic book series) and other first issues on their website:
