Today is the 72nd natal anniversary of Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira. Yesterday was the 106th natal anniversary of my Grandma Georgia and today is the 86th natal anniversary of my Aunt Karen. Happy heavenly birthday to both women. It's also the 100th birthday of country legend, Hank Williams.

Hot Wheels 2023 Tooned Batmobile Duo
I picked up these two Hot Wheels 2023 Tooned Batmobiles two days ago at the local Walmart's. I almost didn't get them because the back copyright on the card says 2021 and thought I already had them. They are both #1 in the Batman mini set and #3 in the main set. There are actually five different color variations. They are both based on the classic 1966 tv Batmobile.
The version with the blue tint windshield is actually the fifth variation. It has green pinstriping and supposedly a dark green body (it looks black to me even under a bright light).
The Hot Wheels 2023 Tooned Batmobile with the orange tint windsheld is actually the third variation (yes, it looks yellow in the photo below but that's due to the lighting). It has a black body with yellow and red pinstriping (it looks reddish-orange to me).

Hot Wheels 2023 Dark Maroon Batmobile
I picked up this Hot Wheels 2023 Dark Maroon Batmobile from the local Walmart's a few days ago. It is based on the Batmobile from the Batman: The Brave and the Bold cartoon series and the first one was released in 2010. I wasn't for sure if I had it or not since the copyright year on the back of the card reads 2021. It's #4 of the Batman subset and #137 of the main set. According to Hot Wheels Wiki, there is also a bronze version.
Note: I corrected this post after realizing that it was dark maroon and not bronze.

Women Wednesday: The Marvels Happy Meal Box
I did manage to get a couple of undamaged Happy Meal boxes promoting The Marvels movie. On the left side, there are images of the Nick Fury, Captain Marvel, Marvel's Goose and Princess Carol action figures at the top. The majority of the side is devoted to showing how you can put the action figures on your phone or tablet for more fun.
The front of the box features Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel, Teyonah Parris as Photon and Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. A brief description of their powers is also listed for each of the superheroines. The right side of the Happy Meal box features images of Kree-Supremor Dar-Benn, Ms. Marvel, Photon, Captain Marvel and Prince Yan on the top. The majority of that side is taken up by the scan code to power up your toy at the Happy Meal website.

Women Wednesday: Ms. Marvel vs Dar-Benn from The Marvels
I don't always keep track of what's new with the Happy Meal toys so I was surprised a few weeks ago when I ordered one and found out that it was based on The Marvels movie. I got Kamala Kahn aka Ms. Marvel, which is number five of eight. You push the button in the back of her head and her right arm moves side to side. You can also rotate her left arm all the way round. Iman Vellani reprises her role as Ms. Marvel in the movie, which is cool because I really enjoyed her in the tv series. I picked up another Happy Meal the following week and got number eight, which is Kree Supremor Dar-Benn. You can rotate a wheel on her back to move her right arm and weapon all the way round. Her left arm rotates too but her hair stops it from going all the way. Dar-Benn is played by Zawe Ashton in the movie.

Hot Wheels The Batman Five Pack
I picked up the Hot Wheels The Batman Five Pack last week at the local Walmart's. I would have posted pictures sooner but I'm having problems with my Olympus digital camera again. The Bruce Wayne car is a '64 Corvette Sting Ray, the Batmobile is from the recent The Batman movie, the Riddler car is Burl-Esgue, the Penguin car is a classic Nomad, and the Catwoman car is the Gov'ner. The images on the Riddler, Penguin and Catwoman cars features the characters from Batman: The Animated Series. That is good because I wouldn't want images of the Riddler and the Penguin from the movie on them. However, I wouldn't mind having the Catwoman from the movie on her car. I wish there was a way to open the box without destroying it so I could take the cars out of the box and take better pictures. I would have to say that the Riddler car is my favorite from this set.
I think that it's about time that Alfred get his own Hot Wheels diecast car.

Women Wednesday: Knight Terrors: Wonder Woman #1 Cover
This week's post for Women Wednesday is the cover of Knight Terrors: Wonder Woman #1. She is joined by Bobo the Detective Chimp, John Constantine and Dr. Fate (the Khalid Nassour version). The story continues from Knight Terrors: First Blood #1 so you should read that issue first. There is also a backup feature titled "Nubia and the Well of Horrors (Part One)".

Hot Wheels Premium Batman the Movie Batmobile
I picked up this Hot Wheels Premium Batman the Movie Batmobile at the local Walmart's last week. The price tag was $4.97 but the actual price was $6.97, which makes this the most expensive Batmobile that I have brought. It's heavier since it's all metal and it was the only one on the peg.

Hot Wheels 2023 Batmobile With Orange Windows
I found this Hot Wheels 2023 Batmobile with orange windows and stripes at the local Walmart's last week. It is #3 of the Batman mini set and #103 of the main set. The basic body color is black and the copyright year on the back of the card is 2021, which is why I didn't know it was a 2023 model. This is the first of two variations with the other one being all white. It is based on the Batmobile from the 1989 Batman movie.
Note: This post has been updated to reflect the correct year.

T-shirt Thursday: White Marvel Characters T-shirt
I picked up this white Marvel Characters t-shirt at the local Walmart's last week for almost nine dollars. The artwork is not the best but it does have that hand-drawn feel. The Marvel characters include Spider-Man, Wolverine, Hawkeye, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Moon Knight (yeah, he's a little hard to see at first), Black Widow, Black Panther (I think it's him), She-Hulk, Daredevil, Silver Surfer, Thor, Doctor Strange, Human Torch, Wasp, Ant-Man, Thing, Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Cyclops (another one that's hard to make out) and Iron Fist. The pictures shows it draped over my office chair so you can only see the bottom of the Marvel logo.
