Guy Gardner Green Lantern Matty Collector Retro-Action DC Super Hereos Exclusive # 2

The postman cameth and as promised here are pics of my Guy Gardener. The second release of Matty Collector's exclusive Green Lantern Retro-Action DC Super Heroes.

As usual the Matty Collector exclusive action figure came in an exclusive (no pun intended) special box with the characters name stenciled on the front.

Next to my Captain Cold this runner up to Hal Jordan is probably one of my favorites in terms to the details of the figure.

The figure is comic book accurate from leather jacket, belt and right down to his boots.

Look at that smirk. Even a vintage Mego Mr. Mxyzptlk would be jealous.

Guy Gardner also includes a power battery, which is the same mold found with the original Green Lantern from wave I and Sinestro figures.

I love being able to buy directly from Matty Collector, but I have a couple of issues which seems to be a problem with the exclusive packages these figures come in. Although, I didn't have this problem with Sinestro in Sinestro Corp outfit, I did have a problem with creasing and bending of the blister cards of both my Green Arrow and Guy Gardner.

I do have several examples of loose toys, but once I have them mint in box, I tend to like to keep them way. The exclusive boxes seem to be a little to tight and possibly the care in which figures is placed in the box is lax. With the cost of the shipping what it is, it makes this to be a little bit of an expensive collectible to not come in a mint box. It does leave me a little perturbed, but over all the figure is awesome and is a welcome addition to the collection.

Next month John Stewart. On sale June 15!

Batman Gets Beat Up in Las Vegas

I have been working on my quest for a cowl and have thought about walking down the Vegas Strip myself for fun, but this is totally uncool. Some tourist picking a fight with Batman and then body slamming him. This dude needs a serious dose of batarang. A lot of people don't like Robin, but if this guy had a sidekick, he would have some back up. Plus what's up with the citizens of Las Vegas not coming to the aid of Batman? Check out Fox's coverage of the story HERE. Just not cool.

Star Wars Day at Disneyland

Star Tours re-opens at Disneyland in California on June 3. The original ride opened in 1987 and I remember it like yesterday. Of course I still have the travel poster of the planets from the Star Wars Universe that were available in the Star Tours gift shop over twenty years ago.

The new ride will include 54 different scenarios. So, you will unlikely get the same ride twice. Unfortunately, the ride was still being revamped when I was there, but gives me the perfect excuse to make another trip when it does open. Here's a sneak peek below.





Although, Star Tours was not re-opened I was able to head over to the Lego store in downtown Disney. I ventured over to the Star Wars section, which had these Lego's along with the current Batman versions they currently sell, I would have been in complete bliss if these had been available when I was a kid.

Here's a look at some of the awesome displays they had of the Star Wars Lego sets.


Me Chillin' with Vader. I know what you're thinking. Man that dude is big (Vader I mean)



Imperial Shuttle

Death Star

Enough power to destroy an entire planet

The Lego sets a really cool, but a little too expensive for my blood, but who can put a price on bliss? Still had an awesome time as usual and besides The Batcave Toy Room, Disneyland is definitely the happiest place on Earth.

Chewbacca Bento Box

My nephew sent me this pic of Chewbacca made of noodles and had to post it out of blue. Makes me hungry for some Chewie Chow-Mein.
