Western Captain America

This Jack Kirby pin-up features Captain America as he would appear in the wild west and originally appeared in Marvel Treasury Special - Captain America's Bicentennial Battles (1976):

Thrift Store Find: Balancing Superman

This balancing Superman was one of five toys found in Burger King's kid meals in 1997. The toys were based on the Superman: The New Adventures cartoon series. I found him for fifty cents at a local thrift store a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, he is missing the Daily Planet building top that he balances on and a few scratches in the paint. Finding Burger King's toys are rather rare since the nearest one is about a hundred miles away.

A New Look For Robin

This page of fan art featuring different Robin costumes is from Batman #259 (November/December 1974):

I actually like the top costume especially the black and red design on the chest and torso sections.

The Bat-Kite

Batman #261 (March 1975) had the instructions for building your own bat-kite.

Human Target Season Finale

Tonight was the first season finale for Human Target featuring Amy Acker, who played Fred from Angel, and Lee Majors, who played Steve Austin from The Six Million Dollar Man. All I can say is what an exciting episode it was and I cannot wait until season two.

Fourth Level Fighter by Faun Wald

Fourth level Fighter is a free song download from Faun Wald that is pretty cool. Fantasy fans and gamers will definitely want to check it out. Be sure to check out their artist page for more great songs (I really like "Raina and the Rose" and "Shay La Lay").

Thrift Store Find: McDonald's Lego Batmobile

I actually found this McDonald's Lego batmobile a few weeks ago for fifty cents. The front missile is missing and the wings are not even (they can be fixed with a little work). I like the little Batman figure that you can see in the cockpit. This was number five in the set (I have the batboat and the Joker helicopter). If I had the missile, I would probably give the McDonald's Lego batmobile a 9 out of ten but it gets an 8 without it because it is still a cool toy.
