Mysterious Figure Found

The mysterious figure that I posted about earlier is none other than White Pantera from El Tigre, which I have never see an episode of.

Thrift Store Finds: Star Wars Bobble Heads

I had to work today so I did not get to the thrift stores. However, my sister found for me a bag of action figures for fifty cents. The following two Star Wars bobble heads were found in McDonald's Happy Meals in 2008:

The other action figures in the bag included two from Kung Fu Panda: Monkey with spinning bamboo staff and Tai Lung with kicking action. An unknown action figure was also in the bag and looks like he is from Mucha Lucha (a show that I only watched once). I have been doing a search for his identity but I am having no luck. He is wearing a red with yellow trim mask, red tie, white suit jacket, white shirt, black gloves, black pants and yellow boots that appears to have spikes or spurs attached to them. The copyright has McD's 2008 and 2007 Viacom.

Here is a music video of Do You Want To Date My Avatar by The Guild that has been making the rounds on the Internet after it debuted at this year's Comic Con:

Thrift Store Finds: Bat Masterson And Constantine

I found two books at a local thrift store this morning that I just could not pass up. The first was Bat Masterson by Wayne C. Lee with illustrations by Adam Szwejkowski that was published by Whitman in 1960. This was an authorized edition based on the television series starring Gene Barry. This is in better shape than the Annie Oakley in Danger at Diablo book that I found a few weeks ago at another thrift store for three dollars. The price of Bat Masterson only set me back a dollar.

The second book was Constantine by John Shirley published by Pocket Books in 2005. This is the novelization of the movie based on the Hellblazer comic book published by DC Comics under the Vertigo imprint. I actually enjoyed the movie but maybe it is because I have only read a handful of the comics. Constantine was also a dollar.

Blog Alert: Confessions of a Superman Fan

Confessions of a Superman Fan covers everything featuring the Man of Steel from comics to toys. I have no excuse for not writing about the blog before now other than I forgot. I was cleaning out my bookmarks earlier and rediscovered Confessions of a Superman Fan.

Women Wednesday: Lauren

The only time that I have ever seen a gorgeous woman in a comic shop was when she was running the cash register. This behind the scenes video was done at a photo shoot for A Comic Shop. Not only is Lauren shown with a few comic books and an action figure but she also dresses up as Supergirl and Batgirl.
Bonus video: Here is Tripod's "Hot Girl in the Comic Shop" skit:

Batman Teaming Up With Doc Savage

DC Universe: The Source has posted about the Batman/Doc Savage Special coming this November. This is not the first time that the Dark Knight have teamed up with a pulp character. He teamed up with the Shadow in Batman #253 (November 1973). The Dark Knight is teaming up with the Man of Bronze thirty-six years after that famous team up.

I would really like to see a team up between Superman and Doc Savage.

Bluewater Does Black Scorpion

You remember Black Scorpion, right? The 1995 movie starred Joan Severance in the title role as part of Showtime's Roger Corman Presents series. She once again donned the mask in 1997 for Black Scorpion II: Aftershock. In 2001, Michelle Lintel played the character in a tv series for the Sci Fi Channel. According to Comics Continuum, Bluewater Productions will be putting out a monthly title featuring the femme fatale with the first issue having two different covers.
