Hot Wheels HW City 2015 Batman Arkham Asylum Batmobile

I went to the local Dollar General to do some browsing earlier this afternoon and I was a little surprised that they had their shelves stocked with Valentine's Day merchandise already. I did pick up a few items that I will hopefully showcase in February. I also picked up the Hot Wheels HW City 2015 Batman Arkham Asylum Batmobile. This is a bit different than the Arkham Asylum Batmobile from Hot Wheels. The biggest difference is that this one has more of a matte black finish instead of the glossy black. The packaging is different too since this one belongs to the HW City series. The back of package is mostly devoted to the Hot Wheels Showdown scan & race game (there is a code to start the race but I have nothing to scan it with so it is pretty worthless to me). The bottom of the diecast car is black instead of chrome and has 2010 on it. The price was a whopping $1.30, which is still cheaper than their Hot Wheels Star Wars vehicles that are selling for five bucks.

Here is a close up:

Christmas Haul Part 5: Superman Words T-shirt

The final geek-related item that I received as a Christmas gift was this long sleeved Superman words t-shirt. As you can tell the s-shield is made up entirely of red and yellow words related to the Man of Steel. The long sleeves and collar are red while the rest is dark blue. There is no year or company printed on the t-shirt but it was made in Haiti and is an XL (46/48). It was purchased by my mother at the local Walmart for about ten dollars.

Here is a picture of me wearing the Superman words t-shirt along with my favorite hoodie:

Christmas Haul Part 3: Hot Wheels Star Trek: Sulu

I received this Hot Wheels Star Trek: Sulu diecast car also for Christmas this year. It is the Midnight Otto with a cartoon picture of him on both sides and the Enterprise on the roof. The front of the package features Sulu saying "Captain! I'm picking up an object of planetary size on the sensors!"

The back of the package features a look at all of the vehicles in the series that includes: 1988 Jeep Wagoneer (Uhura), '49 Ford C.O.E (Kirk), Custom '52 Chevy (Scotty), '38 Dodge Airflow (McCoy), Midnight Otto (Sulu) and '59 Chevy Delivery (Spock):

Along with the usual socks and underwear, I did receive some comic book-related Christmas presents. I will be posting them over the next few days instead of dumping them all in one post. First up is the Hot Wheels Black Widow from 2014, which is #18 in the series:

Countdown to Christmas 2015: Nords Hereos of the North

Merry Christmas to everyone. I have been playing Nords: Heroes of the North fantasy online game on Facebook a lot this month. I keep getting attacked because I only have two friends but it's fun to build up the fighting force and buildings.
