75 Years of Batman

Batman is celebrating his 75th birthday this year and fans all over the world are treated with events showcasing the caped crusader's history throughout the years.
A group of toy collectors from the South of the Metro got invited to exhibit their Batman figures and vehicles at SM BF, Paranaque in October 24-31, 2014. 

The many faces of Batsie. One side of the mini theater.

Fans were also treated to a special screening of Batman's various vehicles from 66 up to The Bat.

The event would not be complete without showcasing some Batman action figures and some of Gotham City's key characters. I also got to display some of my action figures and vehicles together with my fellow toy collectors from the south of the Metro -- Jeffrey Velasquez and sons, Raffy Panganiban, Karsen Bob Teh, PJ Arcellana, JC Rivera and Liam Caballes.

Truly a great year for Batman fans, not only we're being bombarded with tons of collectibles but also, we get to celebrate Batman's history and introduce him to the new generation of Batman fans. Cheers, Batman! And please watch your back. :)

Farewell...

Ending 2013's Valentine special with DC in love -- or maybe not.

Batman and Wonder Woman

Last year, DC surprised everyone when they finally made Superman and Wonder Woman a couple. Probably the most powerful couple. Ha! 

So....Farewell, Bruce.

Green Lantern and Star Sapphire

Carol's love for Hal made her a member of the Star Sapphire. Love, being on the extreme side of the color spectrum borders obsession. Despite the love-hate relationship, at the end of the day, Hal's love for Carol will always prevail. 

"Walk away, Hal..."

Fin.

DC Comics' New 52 Action Figures

I grew up watching Superfriends with my brothers and sister. It was one of those rare moments where we just sit down and not fight about toys. Aside from toys, I also collect comic books. When DC announced the overhaul, I had my doubts. Besides, I want to read about  and see my superheroes exactly the way it was before. But, change is inevitable. The characters need to evolve and appeal to the mainstream audience. 

I subscribed to the comic books and Justice League, Wonder Woman, Batman, Action Comics and i-Vampire became my instant favorites. And I was so looking forward to the action figures that will be released. In December 2012, I finally got my gift set (also bought the individual figures but will remain mint on card forever -- lol). So, I would like to share with you some of my shots of the New 52 big 6. Still need to take Flash out for a spin later this month. :) 

Wonder Woman “Go in peace my daughter. And remember that, in a world of ordinary mortals, you are a Wonder Woman.” Queen Hippolyte

Cyborg "I got this..."

Superman  "…For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you… my only son." -Jor-El

Batman "I must be a creature of the night. Mommy's dead. Daddy's dead. Brucie's dead. I shall become a bat"

Green Lantern "...beware my power, Green Lantern's light!"

Aquaman "...I will defend earth's oceans."

Test of Time

February. Love month. Ha! I have created some intimate images of some famous toy couples. I had a blast doing this project. This one is dedicated to my one true love. :)
