Well, it's in the lower level of the house, which is built into the side of a hill, so it stays between 55 and 70 in there year round. There isn't much in the way of moisture down there, but I do run a dehumidifier in another part for my guitars.

I've seen some decent deals on the box set. I've seen it for as low as $45. Maybe buy the whole thing and sell off the others? Though, the orange suited Joker and Aquaman are pretty damn cool.

Yeah, those cases are nice. I found them at Target for $17.99 each. They can also be mounted on the wall, but even if I had the room, I don't think I'd hang them, because the figures can fall out too easily if you bump it. I wish there was a lip in the front and you loaded them in through the back. The way it is, there is nothing holding them in.

Oh ok, but it is still pretty awesome for $17.99 though! I guess you could put in an acrylic pane in front maybe?

This Cyborg Superman has been the holiest of holy grailiest of grails for me. Finally tracked one down for under a hundred, thanks to that feature on SyFy.
The Batman is one I didn't have, but didn't really need since it's just a repaint with slight facial differences from one I already do own. But, the price was right, so what the hell.

ddarko · 05-04-2018, 03:15 PM

Ooh nice! He seems pretty worth it too!

I recently got one of my grails finally after waiting for a long time! I still haven’t taken her out of the box lol

He absolutely is. Blew away my expectations. No wonder he goes for crazy money everywhere. Might be one of my favourite DC Direct figures. At least in the top 5. The paint, the detail, the sturdiness. All top notch.

Oh wow, yea! The paintjob looks perfect in that pic! Love the nice and clean black highlights on the silver. Even the small part of Clark's face looks really good!

SpasticPlastic · 05-04-2018, 05:48 PM

There's a little bit of blue rub on the silver of his lower thigh, but otherwise, yeah, the paint is as crisp and perfect as I've seen.

SpasticPlastic · 05-08-2018, 02:20 PM

Video game based figures. And a mobster. Admittedly, I don't think I've played any of the games these come from.

Niiice! Do you by any chance have Ryu Hayabusa by NECA too? Would love to see some pics of him

! He was there at a Sunrise near my home for just $25. I didn't get him. Now I started looking for him and he is almost impossible to find. The cheap ones are all bootlegs.

I had to google who that was. No, I don't. But, dammit, now I think I need one!

SpasticPlastic · 05-11-2018, 12:48 PM

I mentioned that Cyborg Superman was one of my all-time favourites from DC Direct. Here's a few more that would be in that category. Green Arrow has always been one of my favourite characters, Tim Drake is my favourite Robin, this "Jason Todd" figure started my DCD addiction, another awesome GA, and this just perfect Brainiac.

SpasticPlastic · 05-12-2018, 02:57 PM

Here's 5 more of my favourite DCD figures.

SpasticPlastic · 05-14-2018, 03:48 PM

Today's mail. Thanks to ddarko for tipping me off about the Ryu Hayabusa figure. My collection is pretty lacking in ninjas.

I'll crack him open tomorrow.

Where did you find him btw

? I have had no luck finding him for a reasonable price. When its too cheap, I am always afraid if its the bootleg. You are lucky to find one!

SpasticPlastic · 05-14-2018, 09:11 PM

I found it on eBay for $19.99 shipped. I'm hoping it isn't a knockoff. It came from within the US, was in package, and from a seller I've done business with before. I compared the pics to the ones that were obviously bootlegs, and it looked a lot better, so I took the risk.
