Figures Toy Company (FTC) do reproductions of the old Mego Kombi vans, to accompany 8" action figures. (Classic TV Toys now offer seven colours and mix 'n' match roofs.) From memory, there was a black Batman mobile lab, a red Daily Planet van, a blue Gotham City prisoner van, a purple Joker van...

Most waves have actually been a bit later, rather than sooner, but I think there was a deal done to enable the Jayna/Gleek set to appear Down Under. (Is it an exclusive in USA, or does the red platinum sticker just its a short pack?) I understand that "Popcultcha" will only deliver to Aust...

I placed a pre-order with Australia's Popcultcha website. The Jayna/Gleek red platinum arrived first, then others in the wave (Zan, Aquaman and Brainiac), a few days later.

Perhaps off-topic, but I recently bought a takeaway coffee that came in a very 60s TV and comics retro cup! A "Truly Eco Cup" from "FPO: Food Packaging Online".

Toy News International has confirmed a new Super Friends wave! I was a bit puzzled by the Jayna and Gleek set being on a "Red Platinum" card but, rather than a limited paint alteration, the red sticker just means that the figures are rarer in the wave. I have read online complaints about ...

Ben and I have done this sort of thing in the past during Skype discussions about Bat Locations. We'll jump over to Google Maps and Streetview the area. Usually, WB doesn't have many accessible parts to their backlot via Streetview but I stumbled upon this today and wanted to share. I'll share more...

I spotted a very nice resin throne for my 6" Catwoman in the local $2 shop!

Is it this one? https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81o9ygkaxvL._SY522_.jpg If so, great book-- still in print on Amazon too. My local comic shop (in Sydney, Australia) has this artwork as their mural! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50080778833_13e180506f.jpg "Batman '66" mural at &q...

More Superfriends! action figures by Ian McLean, on Flickr

Green Lantern, The Atom, Sinestro, Bizarro (my custom!) and Lex Luthor.

So, in the middle of the night, I realised that I had left Evil Superman on the pegs in several stores recently, and had never even noticed the "Platinum" stickers! I checked the back of the collector cards from the other "Superfriends" figures and Evil Superman wasn't listed the...

Thanks. Love that exhilaration when I spot a random figure that has the perfect head or torso for the beginnings of a new potential custom!
