Kaws Monsters Set

I might not have found all the monster cereals this year but I did manage to get a set of Kaws Monsters as an early Christmas present. The figurines arrived in the mail on Saturday from General Mills. I'm not planning to take them out of the plastic yet.

Hot Wheels 2021 Gold TV Series Batmobile

I found this Hot Wheels 2021 Gold Batmobile at the local Walmart's a few days ago. This one is based on the 1960s tv series and is pretty cool. It's #131 of 250 for the year 2021 and #4 of 5 Batman-related cars. I also now have two of the black version.

Women Wednesday: Elvira in Horrorland #5 Cover Gallery

Elvira in Horrorland #5 is out today from Dynamite Entertainment and is the last issue of the series. This time she pokes fun at The Fly remake with Jeff Goldblum. Fear not for there will be a new series coming soon called Elvira in Monsterland. Here are the two cover gallery pages (the Giant-Size Thrillers featuring the Curse of Elvira cover is my favorite):

Women Wednesday: The Huntress on Justice Society of America #1 Cover

The Huntress (Helana Wayne) is the sole survivor on the cover of Justice Society of America #1 from DC Comics. The former JSA members are "ghosts" in the background and include Green Lantern (Alan Scott), Flash (Jay Garrick), Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Wildcat, Sandman, Hourman and Starman. This continues the story started in The New Golden Age one-shot issue and is a must read before reading this issue. Catwoman is also inside this issue along with a very interesting JSA that her and the Huntress leads twenty-six years from now.

Women Wednesday: Vampirella Strikes #7 Cover

Since Thursday is Eat A Turkey Day, it seems fitting that this week's Women Wednesday post features the cover of Vampirella Strikes #7 from Dynamite Entertainment with artwork by Lucio Parrillo. The issue hits the stands today and should satisfy your hunger for horror and sexy vampires.

Superman and Supergirl Presents Strawberry Banana Instant Oatmeal

I guess the marketing staff at Quaker couldn't come up with a snazzier flavor or title for Superman and Supergirl to promote. Batman and Batgirl got to promote Gotham City S'mores Instant Oatmeal. Instead of calling it something exciting like Metropolis Mixed Fruit, they just went with the boring Strawberry Banana Instant Oatmeal. I finally finished off the box of six packets a few days ago. The banana and strawberry flavors are both there but I have never been a big fan of this flavor combination so I will not be picking up another box.

Kal-El's cousin, Kara Zor-El, is on the flip side of the box:

Batman and Batgirl Presents Gotham City S'mores Instant Oatmeal

Quaker put out special editions of their instant oatmeal earlier this year. I picked up a box of the Gotham City S'mores Instant Oatmeal a few months ago at the local Walmart's. The temperatures were over a hundred degees so needless to say that I didn't eat any right away. It took me a while to finish off the six packets and today was that day. Granted, I usually fix two packages at a time because one package is not really enough to satisfy my hunger. I'm not a huge fan of crazy flavored oatmeal but these were okay. I'm not going to rush out and pick up another box even if Batman is on one side of the box.

Batgirl is on the other side of the same box:

At least they didn't call them the Batcave Instant Oatmeal since the chocolate made the oatmeal look more like dirt.

Hot Wheels Arkham Asylum Purple Batmobile

I found a Hot Wheels Arkham Asylum Purple Batmobile at the local Walmart's yesterday. The purple is so dark that it almost looks black. The store must have finally put some new ones out since the pegs were actually full. This is #2 of 5 of the 2022 series even though the copyright on the back reads 2021. Pretty cool find considering that I have the green version and the brown version.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Shuri Happy Meal Toy

I picked up a Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Happy Meal last Wednesday and managed to get the first toy, which is Shuri. However, I did not get the box as they did not have any. Shuri has the panther gauntlets on her hands. Her base is transparent blue and there is an app that you can use to unlock her powers. Unfortunately, I could not get the app to work.

The back of Shuri has a wheel that you can use to make her arms go up and down:
