NANO BLOCK ELECTRIC GUITAR

Just wanted to share this micro sized building block electric guitar. Got this as a present from my sisters. The nano block guitar is only about 4 inches in size and is composed of around 150 parts. This is a cool and welcome addition to any Lego collection.

DCUC SINESTRO GREEN LANTERN

"Sinestro was born on the planet Korugar in space sector 1417. His dedication to preserving order originally manifested in his previous career, an anthropologist specializing in reconstructions of ruins of long-dead civilizations. One day while he was on one such site, a Green Lantern named Prohl Gosgotha crashlanded into the site, injured and apparently dying. He quickly gave his ring to Sinestro, just in time for Sinestro, who barely even understood what the ring could do, to defend himself from the Lantern's pursuer: a Weaponer of Qward. However, Sinestro had to destroy the very ruins he had spent loving care restoring in order to crush the Qwardian. Afterward, Gosgotha turned out to still be alive and asked for his ring back to keep him alive long enough to get help. Sinestro, knowing this would mean not being a Green Lantern himself, instead allowed him to die and took over his post, the Guardians unaware of his actions. In Green Lantern #45 we see for the first time his wife in a flashback and that it is, in fact, the sister of Abin Sur.

His desire for order did well by him in the Corps and initially led him to be considered one of the greatest Green Lanterns. As the years passed, he became more and more fixated upon not simply protecting his sector, but on preserving order in the society of his home planet no matter the cost. Eventually he concluded that the best way to accomplish this was to conquer Korugar and rule the planet as a dictator.

When Hal Jordan joined the Green Lantern Corps, Sinestro was assigned to be his instructor. Jordan was horrified at his new mentor's totalitarian methods, though Sinestro maintained that his iron-fisted rule was necessary to protect his people from alien forces. During his training, Jordan helped Sinestro repel an attempted invasion of Korugar by the alien warlords known as the Khunds. When Jordan called for help from the other Green Lanterns, Sinestro's dictatorship was exposed and he was forced to appear before the Guardians for punishment. Katma Tui, the leader of a Korugarian resistance movement who felt that Sinestro's "protection" kept her people from growing as a society through contact with other alien races, was recruited as his replacement in the Corps. Though Katma Tui eventually grew into one of the most respected Green Lanterns, she and the rest of Korugar initially resisted her appointment to the Corps. Due to Sinestro's actions, Korugar had come to consider the symbol of the Green Lantern Corps an emblem of terror and oppression." [from: wiki]

He is also revealed to be the father of Soranik Natu, a Green Lantern who currently holds his old post within the Corps.

Green Lantern (vol. 2) #7 (July–August 1961). Sinestro's first appearance in the green lantern comic.

He is also a part of the upcoming Green Lantern movie.

Close up with one of the most famous comic villain.

DCUC KATMA TUI

"Katma Tui hails from the planet Korugar,  in the area of space designated Sector 1417 by the Guardians of the Universe, the extraterrestrials from the planet Oa who oversee and administer the Green Lantern Corps. Korugar was also the home planet of the renegade former Green Lantern Sinestro, who used his Green Lantern powers to enslave his planet, and rule over them as a tyrant, unbeknownst to his Guardian superiors. Tui eventually leads a rebellion against Sinestro, and even testifies against him before the Guardians. Sinestro is imprisoned in the antimatter universe, on the planet Qward. Green Lantern Tomar-Re nominates Tui as Sinestro’s replacement as Green Lantern of Sector 1417, and Tui accepts. The people of Korugar, however, came to view the Green Lantern symbol as one of oppression and pain, and saw Tui as a monster for joining them.

When Hal Jordan resigns from the Corps for Carol Ferris, Tui is infuriated, given that Jordan had persuaded her to give up Imi Kahn for the Corps. When John Stewart initially turns down the offer of replacing Jordan as Green Lantern of Earth, Tui, projecting her anger towards Jordan upon Stewart, dismisses him as a coward, which provoked Stewart into changing his mind. Tui would eventually train him, and work closely with him on a number of missions. The two eventually fall in love, and they marry. Tui works with a large contingent of Lanterns who find themselves based on Earth.

Katma Tui was slain by the villain Star Sapphire. Katma, at the time unpowered, is sliced to death while in her kitchen. Star Sapphire did this simply to make a point to Hal Jordan." [from: wiki]

DCUC JOHN STEWART

"John Stewart is an architect and veteran USMC who was selected by the Guardians as Hal Jordan’s backup after Guy Gardner was seriously injured in a disaster. Although Jordan objected after seeing that Stewart had a belligerent attitude to authority figures, the Guardians stood by their selection.

To Jordan, Stewart’s first mission began badly with the assignment of protecting a racist politician and Stewart took advantage of averting an accident to embarrass him in the process. However, Stewart soon proved his worth when an assassin shot at the politician, but Stewart refused to intervene with Jordan to move in response to the attack. Stewart had good reasons for this apparent dereliction of duty when he stopped a gunman from killing a police officer in the outside parking lot at the event while Jordan was pursuing a decoy. When Jordan confronted Stewart about his actions, Stewart explained that the politician had staged it for political advantage. With that adventure, Jordan concluded that Stewart was an excellent recruit after all.

For some time, Stewart occasionally filled in for him as Green Lantern when Jordan was unavailable, including some missions of the Justice League.

After Jordan gave up being Green Lantern in the 1980s, the Guardians selected Stewart for full time duty. Stewart filled that role for some years, during which time he married Katma Tui, the Green Lantern of the planet Korugar who was initially assigned to train John in the use of his ring. Kat and John served together within the Green Lantern Corps of Earth alongside Hal Jordan, Arisia, Kilowog, Salaak, and other alien Green Lanterns."

DCUC BUILD A FIGURE KILOWOG

"Kilowog was a geneticist from the planet Bolovax Vik. After Green Lantern Branwill died, Kilowog was chosen by the ring to succeed as the next Lantern. To Kilowog being a member of the corp. was a great honor, but it meant leaving Bolovax and going into space on missions; this was tantamount to exile for a Bolovaxian. Nevertheless, Kilowog carried out his duties with pride. He would go on to be one of the Corps' best recruiters and trainers." [source]

Kilowog will also appear in the upcoming Green Lantern movie.

DCUC GREEN LANTERN TOMAR RE

"Tomar was a scientist on the planet Xudar before joining the Corps.

Tomar's most famous mission while serving in the Corps dealt with the planet Krypton. Krypton, a planet in Sector 2813, was growing increasingly unstable. It was due to explode, caused by internal pressures deep inside the planet's core. Tomar-Re sought to use a rare compound called Stellarium to absorb some of the tectonic pressure, thus saving the Kryptonians. He gathered the compound, and was en route to Krypton when a yellow solar flare blinded him, and forced him to drop the stellarium. He quickly recovered, but discovered he was blind. He gathered what little stellarium he could without his sight, and proceeded towards Krypton. He was closing in when his vision started to clear. The first thing he saw upon his sight returning was Krypton exploding. The Guardians of the Universe recovered Tomar and brought him back to Oa, where he healed and rested.

Tomar was retired when the Anti-Monitor sought to conquer the multiverse. He still served alongside the Corps, including John Stewart, who had become the GL for 2814. The war against the Anti-Monitor would be Tomar's final fight, as he was killed by the villain known as Goldface. Before his death, Tomar-Re selected Stewart to be his replacement, thus forcing John's ring to go to Jordan, who had resigned from the Corps, and returning him to the organization. "[from wiki]

SEAL TEAM 6 "STEVE" BY DRAGON

Before Hot Toys and Soldier Story became famous, Dragon was the top 1/6th scale company. When i started to collect 1/6th scale military figures Dragon was the only company releasing them (followed by BBI). Dragon figures were given names aside from their SF units. Steve was the first 1/6th scale figure that i got. He is a member of Seal team 6. This figure sparked my interest in 1/6th scale military figure collecting.


Check him out.

Seal Team 6 "Steve"

He is wearing OD flight suit, SOMAV vest and Pro tec helmet.

Back view of the vest. He also carries 2 water canteens and a dump pouch.

Closer view of the Pro tec helmet. He is also wearing a black balaclava to hide his identity.

He is equipped with H&K MK23 SOCOM pistol.

Dragon provided little equipment on their figures unlike the newer brands that provide tons of gears (which we collectors prefer). Luckily Steve was given a stock less MP5.

And a MP5A2 with fixed stock.

DEVGRU OPERATOR KITBASH

Here is another kit bash of a DEVGRU operator in 1/6th scale.


 "According to the news 20-25 Naval Special Warfare Development Group (Navy SEAL team 6 or DEVGRU) under the command of JSOC and working with the CIA, conducted a raid on the terrorist's hide out. A fire fight occurred and it was here that Osama Bin Laden was shot and killed." [wiki]
