Women Wednesday: Oracle Reminisces

From Bruce Wayne: The Road Home: Oracle #1 (December 2010):

McDonald's Bumblebee 2010

I broke down and bought a Happy Meal last night and managed to get Bumblebee. He is number three in McDonald's Transformers 2010 line. His left arm and waist both move but his head does not. A blue projectile can be launched from his right arm. Instead of pressing a button on the back to launch the projectile, his door wings are pulled back.

Grab Bag Comics Coming

The only shopping that I did on Black Friday 2010 was to purchase a hundred Dark Horse and independent grab bag comics at Things From Another World. Thy are usually fifty cents for each comic but they were on sale for ten cents. Unfortunately, I missed out on the DC and Marvel grab bag comics. You can be sure that I will be posting about the ones that I do get here.

Disney's The Avengers Official Site

You can watch full episodes and video clips plus play games at Disney's The Avengers. I have only seen a few episodes of the cartoon and I like what I have seen.

Batman By Ryan Sook

This page of Bruce Wayne dressed as Thomas Wayne masquerading as a Batman by Ryan Sook from The Return of Bruce Wayne #5 needs to be a poster:

Green Lantern Presents Hostess Glo Balls

Hostess Glo Balls was a limited edition of their Sno Balls, which are chocolate cakes with creamy fillings that are covered with marshmallow and coconut. To be honest, I do not remember ever trying the regular versions before. After eating one, I remember why I erased any past experiences with the Sno Balls from my mind. The Glo Balls have just a tiny hint of coconut and were drier than the whole state of Arizona. This was the only box of the limited edition series that I picked up at the local Super Wally World since it took me a month to finish them.

The Green Lantern action figure did not come with the box and was found several years ago at a local thrift store. If these were made back in the 1970s and 19980s, then the box would have had a trading card on them and I might have picked up the other cakes in the series.

Best Part Of Batman Inc. #1

This panel of Batman and Catwoman together by Yanick Paquette was the best part of the comic book for me:

I will be getting this so I can put it next to my copy Showcase Presents: The House of Mystery. The only issue that I have is The Witching Hour #75 (November 1977).

Thrift Store Find: Black Hulk T-Shirt

This XL black hulk t-shirt was made by Tennessee River and found at a local thrift store last week for three dollars:

Thrift Store Find: Mystery Fantasy Figurine

This mystery fantasy figurine was in the same fifty cent bag that Buttercup, Captain America, Green Arrow and Wolverine was in. I know that the character looks familiar and my sister was quick to say Link. The back of the hat is flat and there are red ribbon on the sides. The outfit is green and yellow dress with white arms and legs.The bottom corner of the right sleeve has been damaged. The mystery fantasy figurine has a sword half drawn strapped to its back. The scabbard is black with a yellow tip. The only wording on the bottom is "CLAMP et al" and "China". I feel like I should know the name of the character but I just can't think of it and my searching is turning up nothing.

Thrift Store Find: Buttercup

I have not watched the Powerpuff Girls cartoon series for a long time since my family found them annoying. My favorite has always been Buttercup so I was pleasantly surprise to find her at a local thrift store last week. She was in the same fifty cent bag along with Captain America, Green Arrow and Wolverine. The bottom green part of Buttercup's eyes lights up by pressing a button on the back on her head. The figure is from the 2002 Burger King set.

Green Lantern Movie Sneak Peak Video

If you watched the Friday episode of Entertainment Tonight, then you would have seen a sneak peak at the Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds. You can view the video here since it is widescreen and I am digging the suit. Be sure to turn to the tv show next Tuesday for a closer look at the movie.

Thrift Store Find: McDonald's Marvel Heroes Wolverine

Wolverine stopped hanging out at McDonald's because they made him child proof his pop out claws. I found him at a local thrift store last week hanging out in a bag with other Happy Meal toys. I like his blue and yellow uniform even if he can no longer stab a McRib.
