Thank you. I always like them better as stylish sociopaths in the boardroom and the battlefield alike than colorful circus acrobats.

Thank you. I always like them better as stylish sociopaths in the boardroom and the battlefield alike than colorful circus acrobats.
I am waiting for them to make a retro Flint as good as retro Scarlett and Duke. Both of those were huge improvements over the original versions, and I think that first Flint could use a whole new...
Yeah, I got my Scarlett two days ago, and she is pretty damn perfect.

I ordered mine from Amazon, and I was pleasantly surprised Duke shipped a few weeks early. My retro Scarlett was pushed back until April 18th, though.
My updated Classified collection:

They jumped all over the place, mostly collecting key modern stories and runs in no specific order. The spines of the hardcovers display larger images if shelved in publication order (which means...
I have the Eaglemoss hardcover version of Legends (the Wein/Ostrander/Byrne miniseries that followed Crisis on Infinite Earths and set up the Giffen/DeMatteis Justice League and Ostrander's Suicide...
I preordered Retro Scarlett and Duke. I wasn't completely sold on Duke, but the figure looks too good. Both are pretty damn perfect, and I'm glad I didn't jump on the 2020 releases.
I was on the fence about him, despite the original being one of the first childhood Joes I ever got in 1986. But check your local Target, because the one I visited had pegs specifically labeled for...
Chuckles and General Hawk are the most recent acquisitions to my Classified collection. I opened Hawk today, and he is so great, he inspired me to dust and rearrange my shelf.

Hey, folks. I've made a few trades here before, and I have 100% positive eBay and Amazon Marketplace feedback, both as "bigbadvoodoolou," to put your minds at ease.
I have a want list posted below...
Updated below.
I binge-read The Wild Storm last week. It was good, but changed some things that didn't really need to be changed. I get that it was its own continuity, though.
Jack Knight's civilian adventures were just as interesting, if not moreso, than his life as Starman in the brilliant series by James Robinson, Tony Harris, and later Peter Snejbjerg.
I really wanted Cover Girl, despite having no connection to the character, but just because the figure came out so well. But her final face compared to the beautiful render has been a letdown. I'll...
I'm planning to read The Wild Storm very soon, since all four volumes are available on Hoopla, through my public library system. I read some of it years ago, but don't remember anything and never...
Joe Casey's run (Wildcats series 2 #8-28 and Wildcats 3.0 #1-24) is one of my all-time favorite comic runs. Even though Alan Moore put a definitive end to the core Kherubim vs. Daemonite conflict,...
I'm sharing my Blue Beetle and Booster Gold collection in here too:

Hanging from clear pushpins, pushed directly into the drywall.
She is a custom, and so are Power Girl, Golden Age Blue Beetle, both Starmen, Maxwell Lord, Comedian, and all the Wildcats in the bottom row. I cannot take credit for making any of them, though --...
Yes! Those Mattel Justice League Unlimited figures can't stand on their own, so that was the best way to display them. I love the look, and I bought those display cases here:...
Tom Taylor wrote the Beetle/Booster friendship beautifully in Injustice 2 #5, 21, and 33. They just have short scenes in a much larger narrative featuring dozens of characters, but each scene...
These guys are my lifelong favorite DC characters, as you can see.

Booster quit the JLI around that time due to the lack of respect, and he became the leader of a corporate-sponsored superteam called The Conglomerate. That happened in Justice League Quarterly #1. ...
Giffen and DeMatteis reunited to write the second Booster Gold series from #32 to #43. Beetle, Mr. Miracle, Barda, and Power Girl all appear in it, and it ties into Justice League: Generation Lost,...
