Hey, Mr. Postman!

Time to show off some cool toys the postman (who is actually a hot blonde-I swear!) brought me today! As you know I'm a DC Direct lover, and if my last installment of Hey, Mr. Postman! wasn't proof enough, this one will be...

*DC Direct New Gods Series 2 Kalibak! I have the Series 1 Darkseid, and so I wanted this Silver Age version of his son, modeled after the great artwork of Jack Kirby! So Cro-Mag, this evil one! They really nailed Kirby's style in these toys...

*DC Direct Crisis On Infinite Earths Series 1 Monitor! Linchpin character for the 80's graphic novel I just read this winter that I got for, like, three bucks. Now I know some people think that book was a boring, convoluted slab of crap, but it was a fun romp through the DC Universe. Unnecessariily long in places, but an interesting time capsule in my humble opinion...

*DC Direct Crisis On Infinite Earths Series 2 Monitor! I LOVE this! Monitor's nemesis who wanted to detroy all life in the mutiverse- evil incarnate. I like getting these toys from different comics I've read- it makes the experience so much more tangible...

*DC Direct Crisis On Infinite Earths Series 2 Battle Armor Lex Luthor! Does this outfit look ridiculous to you? Yeah, it does to me too- that's why I like it!  The design for this was first created for the Super Powers action figure line in reality, not the comic book, according to Yo Go Re over at OAFE.Net. I just love this, people...

*DC Direct Crisis On Infinite Earths Series 2 Robot Brainiac! There is something really disturbing about the coldness of this villain, who ironically ended up helping the heroes of Earth in order to save himself. I already opened this cool toy, and can't wait to take his picture with the transluscent plastic parts & great sculpt they gave him...

*DC Direct  Infinite Crisis Series 1 Superboy Prime! Back from Crisis on Infinite Earths and misled by Alexander Luthor, this kid gone bad makes things rough for the heroes of  Infinite Crisis- even killing some of them... a must-read!
