Aw man, what perfect timing ! With all of this talk of Batman: TAS and Mask of the Phantasm, I have another DCAU-related post :
This Diamond Select Femme Fatales Supergirl statue was one of the few Black Friday / Cyber Monday purchases I made this year, but she's been on my must-buy list ever since she was released.
I absolutely love the Timm-verse iteration of Supergirl, and oddly enough, I actually prefer the animated version (Kara In-Ze) over the both of the most recent comic versions (pre-New 52 Kara Zor-El version and the New52 version ) of Supergirl.
Being a huge fan of the animated Supergirl, from Superman: TAS, and especially JLU, I was excited when Jeph Loeb reintroduced Kara Zor-El to the DC Universe back in '04, but I never found her comics, with the exception of maybe a few of the arcs that tied into the New Krypton story, very interesting.



Sorry, I got a little verbose there, but, lol, I'm not done yet
With Fantastic Four being cancelled, I've been searching for another Marvel title to fill that void, and although it features The Thing, Bendis' Guardians of the Galaxy just hasn't impressed me.
Oddly enough, that sci-fi superhero void is possibly going to be filled by the new Ultimates series.
So, I picked up Captain Marvel (who is one of the primary members of the new 616 group of Ultimates) to celebrate !
Even after only one issue, I'm impressed, and so far, I really think I'd like to see Hasbro release a figure of the Blue Marvel, to add to my new Ultimates line-up!



And, finally...
Wave 2 of the 3 3/4" Black Series has been slowly showing up in my area, so I picked up Kylo Ren.
Also, I finally decided to pick up Phasma, after repeatedly passing on her. I haven't seen her on any lists of upcoming 3 3/4" Black Series figures, so I decided to pick up the 5 PoA version, even though it's FAR too short, just in case we don't get a Black Series figure of her in the near future.
