Hey, Mr. Postman!

I actually ordered these toys in 2010, bridging the gap in my (laughs) 6" action figure obsession into the new year in true Super-DuperToyBox fashion! The DCUC fascination continues at a fevered pitch...

*DC Universe Classics Wave 15 Martian Manhunter! I can't say enough about how obsessed I am with J'onn J'onzz- I'll just let my past posts on this guy do the talking. As with a lot of past DCUC waves, I was certain I'd never see one of these in the wild, being so far past the release date. I bit the bullet & got the cheapest one I could on E-Bay, only to find him at an off-the-beaten-path K-Mart for about $10.00 less. Ugh!  Lesson learned: be sure to exhaust all possibilities before buying off E-Bay (laughs)! Still, I love him... he has a variant figure that I wasn't that interested in...

But before Martian Manhunter arrived...

On New Years Eve there was a note from the post office explaining I had a package to pick up with postage due- Denied! Luckily, the Amazon seller graciously refunded the $3.95 extra postage, reinforcing my strong faith in humanity...

*DC Universe Classics Wave 6 Mr. Miracle! I just read about Mr.Miracle, super-escape artist, in Final Crisis (DC, 2008). A relatively new superhero, artist/writer Jack Kirby created Mr. Miracle in 1971. This is one of those action figures I bought purely out of fascination of ridiculous costumes... well, that & also that I already have his variant figure from this wave, Dr. Impossible... I like the tall-collared capes!
