Ladies Night

For Eclectorama's last photo assignment, 'Ladies Night,' I took some pics of a couple themed groups of gals in my collection. A couple sets of gals didn't make the cut, so I figured I should show them eventually; and here they are:

First up is a total spoiler if you haven't seen Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Also of note, if you haven't seen Batman: Mask of the Phantasm there is something seriously wrong with you! Anyways, the first toy is Phantasm herself, unmasked! The second is Batgirl, but the unique thing about this toy is that it actually came from Jack in the Box. She has a lever on her back to kick the baddies, and is one of the finest looking Batgirl animated action figures made - from a fast food joint! Amazing when that happens!

Next up come a couple of Barbie-barians...err I mean Barbarians; Evil-Lyn and Teela. Toys I avoided like the plague as a kid (eww, girls are icky!) little did I know at the time how great these figures (and girls) actually are.

Lex and I, we have the same tailor.

I don't usually make custom toys, but this one kind of just fell together.

I salvaged some pieces of a DC Direct Pocket Heroes Batman that my nephew destroyed years ago. All that was salvageable was the body and head. I couldn't rebuild him, but I figured I'd do something with the figure someday. I have trouble throwing toys away, even if broken. Too many viewings of Rudolph as a child. That island of misfit toys really hit me, you know?

A couple years later I picked up a Lex figurine w/ power suit from Jack in the Box.

One day, for whatever reason, I put the torso/head of Batman into the armor. Perfect fit, and a cool concept figure. I can see Batman donning Lex's power suit just to be a jerk before smacking him around a bit.

Silly Batman...and people say you don't have a sense of humor.
