DC COLLECTIBLE NEW 52 GREEN ARROW

Billionaire businessman Oliver Queen has everything one can ever need. But on his free time Oliver puts on his hood and takes up his bow to play the role of a modern day robin hood. Known as the Green Arrow, we all know that Oliver is an excellent marksman. But aside from that he is also an inventor. Green Arrow makes all sort and kinds of arrow tips from explosive to smoke and other more outrageous arrow tips to suit his needs. Green Arrow originally debuted in MORE FUN COMICS #73 (1941). He was created by Mort Weisinger and George Popp. In recent months Green Arrow gained more popularity due to his own TV series titled Arrow. Here is Oliver Queen in his New 52 look.

DC COLLECTIBLES NEW 52 GREEN LANTERN SIMON BAZ

Meet the newest human member of the Green Lantern Corps, Simon Baz. Like all the members of the corps he was chosen by the ring due to his ability to overcome fear. Simon is the first Arab-American to become a member of the Green Lantern corps. His heritage is incorporated in his costume via his green tattoo. As a new member of the corps, Simon does not fully trust his ring and prefers to take a hand gun for insurance. Simon Baz was created by famous writer Geoff Johns and artist Doug Mahnke. Simon’s character started to appear in the Green Lantern New 52 series.

IRONMAN MK.XLII BY FUNKO POP VINYL

After watching Ironman 3 last month and thinking about Hot Toy's future releases regarding several Ironman suits. My sisters gave me one of the cutest and coolest looking Ironman MK.42 I have ever seen. Its a little vinyl bobble head figure from Funko. The figure stands around 3 3/4inch tall. The big wobble head is nicely made with adequate paint applications. As for the body, the sculpt is nice with several sloppy paint work. All in all the little guy looks amazing.

Here is Tony’s Mark 42 suit.

The figure has no articulation except for its big wobbly head.

One cool thing about the figure is that it is very stable, even with a big wobbling head it can still stand on its own which is nice.

 

 

 

Back of the figure nicely detailed as well.

 

Aside from the MK.42, Funko also released war machine, iron patriot and the deep space ironman. These little guys are more of a display piece rather than a toy, so if you’re not a big fan of Tony Stark you can probably do without this little guys. But seriously they are very cool. Thanks to my sisters for the amazing gift.
