Harley Qwednesday :: Harley Quinn Cosplay by Lisa Lou Who

Cast your peepers at this incredibly stunning original Harley Quinn cosplay by the amazing Lisa Lou Who.

Ballet + Harley Quinn + Victorian Era + Sexy = a happy Harley Qwednesday indeed!

Now the only question is - when do we get an action figure?!?!

According to Lisa Lou Who, this Harley Quinn is her own original design, "inspired by, of course, Harley Quinn of the DC universe as well as Sakizou artwork and Ame-Comi figures."

And an incredible design it is. Wowzers! I am sure I speak for all Harley Qwednesday readers when I say 'BRAVO!'

When the blood returns to your brain, be sure to check out more spectacular cosplay by Lisa Lou Who over at her Facebook page.

Enter Lego Sandman :: A Random Toy Pic

This here is a custom Lego JSA founding member Wesley Dodds - aka the original Golden Age Sandman - that I just put together tonight. Lego savvy readers will note the gas-mask is not Lego! The gas-mask actually came from a Kre-O Cityville Invasion blind bagged figure (Hazmat Henry). I found the Kre-O figures on clearance at Target last night, and today realized I had all the rest of the parts needed to make a pretty swell Sandman minifigure! AW YEAH JSA!

Holy Hell's Angel Dollies, Batman!

We went to a couple school rummage sales this morning, and at the second stop I found this Mego Batcycle and Mego Joker too!

My intern helped me with today's photo-shoot whilst sipping her smoothie. It's how we roll.

Neither of these are in pristine condition, but they are in surprisingly good condition. The Batcycle has broken handlebars (the right handle is completely missing) and Joker's right hand is barely hanging on, not to mention his missing jacket and shoes. The batcycle has plenty of scuff marks but surprisingly many (if not all) of it's original stickers too. And while Joker is missing his jacket and shoes (which can be replaced via the aftermarket) his bodysuit is in very clean shape.

And the piece-du-resistance...they were only fifty cents each!

Did I mention that my intern helped me with the photo shoot?

It's actually pretty funny having a muscle-shirted Joker driving the Batcycle! I can imagine Joker tearing off his sleeves as he speeds away on his stolen vehicle! "HAHAHAHAHA Seeya later, cheesy rider!"

The details of this find are all a blur to me, I was so excited! It is very rare nowadays to find Mego in the wild, and even more rare to find them so cheap. The last time it happened for me was when I found a Mego Robin for five bucks, and that was nearly four years ago.

As for today's find, there was a corner of the school gymnasium 'dedicated' to toys, which is to say there was a space on the floor with toys spread about (read: dumped) and kids meandering (read: wallowing) within the pile. I don't remember if I spotted Joker first, or the Batcycle, but when I did I nearly plotzed! It wasn't until a few minutes of perusing the rest of the mess that I discovered the side-car too!I'm so ignorant of Mego I wouldn't have known (but should have known intuitively) that it even came with a sidecar, so thank the maker I found it and reunited the two halves.

I looked and looked, but could find no sign of any other Mego goodness.

My intern, ladies and gentlemen!

"Booorn freeeeeeeee!"

"Sleeves? Where we're going, we don't need sleeves."

"Hey Batsy! I left you a little gift in your sidecar HAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAA!"

DC Direct Pocket Super Heroes JSA/JLA

These DC Direct Pocket Super Heroes were release way back in 2002. My daughter and I found them at the flea market about four years ago. A nice JSA meets JLA line-up - we were able to find Wonder Woman, The Spectre, Dr. Fate and Martian Manhunter.

Martian Manhunter originally came with the JLA round-table and chairs, but we only found the figure itself.

The Spectre and Dr. Fate are my personal favorites!

There were actually a few versions of Wonder Woman released in this Pocket Super Heroes line. This one was part of a JLA box set, I believe.

These are all pretty fun figures - very basic but charming. I suppose they would be considered minifigures nowadays, or they would get the blind-bagged treatment. They are about the size of a Playmobil figure. I do wish I had paid closer attention to them when they were being released!

Harley Qwednesday :: Harley Quinn signed by Neal Adams!

Comic book legend Neal Adams made an appearance at Santa Cruz comic book store Atlantis Fantasyworld, and my intern and I not only got to meet him but got this awesome Harley Quinn print signed by the icon himself!

Here we are shaking hands with a legend!

I had originally gone with the intention of having this comic signed: Batman Annual #14 from 1990. I bought it off the shelf a couple years into my Batman comic book collecting run and it has a lot of nostalgia for me personally. Plus, I love Neal Adams' cover art and Two-Face as a character, so  it was a no-brainer. But when I saw Neal's Harley Quinn print on site, I just couldn't resist it! It isn't every day that you meet a comic book legend or get a chance to have them sign a piece of their work illustrating one of your favorite characters after all!

Playmobil Fi?ures Series 6 (and 7) Coming Soon!

As of this posting, I still haven't seen Playmobil's blind bagged Fi?ures Series 5 in stores. But in some parts of the world Series 6 is just around the corner!

According to Playmobil's Facebook page, Series 6 is scheduled to hit outside the US in February 2014. Series 6 is scheduled to hit the US March 2014, but I wouldn't expect to see these in the US until mid year at the earliest, while Series 7 is scheduled to be released in the US August 2014.

Check out the lineup for Series 6 below, and Series 7 at the bottom of the page!

Fairy.

Gladiator.

Cowboy.

Alien.

Karate Guy.

Surfing Santa. For real. Check out the reindeer on the surfboard!

Secret Agent.

Pirate.

Highlander, perhaps? I like this one.

Construction worker.

Guy in pajamas brushing his teeth. What?

Baywatch dude.

Aladdin? Persian Prince?

Queen.

Koala and zookeeper/jungle adventurer.

Gymnast.

Maleficent? Great idea, but the face is a little weird.

Princess.

Police woman.

Retro chick.

Another Queen or Princess.

Hiker.

Asian lady.

Cleopatra.

That's the entire Playmobil Fi?ures Series 6 line-up. Not very exciting, to be honest, although I could go for one or two of them. I like the Highlander, and the gal in the polkadot dress would work well for my custom Harley Quinn Playmobil figure.

And thanks to Dex of AEIOU and Sometimes Why, here's a pic of the entire Series 7 lineup:

For the boys, it looks like:
King, Chef, Clown, Scuba Diver, Skateboarder, Roman Legionnaire, Fencer, Space Cadet, Gangster, Robin Hood, King Neptune, and a Cameraman.

For the girls:
Queen, Cowgirl, Snake Charmer, Ice Cream Gal, Fitness Girl, Hippie, Fairy, Nun, Indian Princess?, Girl with Puppy, Horse Rider, and Miner?

I don't know if all of those titles are accurate, some are hard to see, but Series 7 does look to have more must-haves than Series 6 for me!

I'll be sure to update this post when I finally see these in stores, whether I buy any or not!
