DC Direct: Ame-Comi Batgirl PVC Figure

So i was picking up some buddies on my birthday way back, and decided to go to th comic book store. See whats up. So went inside and saw a table full of 50% off shit. Guess what? Sexy Batgirl. $20 bucks. Everytime i went in to grab books and stuff, its been hanging up on there. I saw my girlfriend eyeing it a few times and she pointed it out. but really. 45 bucks?

20 bucks. Okay. Picked it up, and i gave it to her the next time i saw her, and she told me to keep it at my place. Am i going to say no to keeping sexy batgirl in my basement? well no.

So here she is. She's actually really big. Stands 9" Tall and is probably one of the biggest figures i own. The paints really good. nice and smooth, no imperfections on the surface and no hints of mold lines at all. She doesn't move at all. Just comes with a base and shes stuck in that cheesy pose, but she still looks hot. Shes actually pretty sought-after so I have no idea why no one bought her, but I guess 45 bucks is pretty hefty. Well here are some pics. Try not to slober too much.

Minichamps 1/43: James Bond Aston Martin DBS. (Gold Edition Limited to 2016 Pieces World Wide)

So here is the first car model I'm posting, but i actually own alot. 

This is actually my first 1/43 scale car model, because i always felt like you couldn't get enough out of them in such a smal size, but i obviously couldn't pass this one up.

The minichamps line is the most famous brand for model cars in the 1/43 scale around the world. This one retails for probably over 100 bucks, since the regular non gold DBS retails for about 70. The detail on this model is amazing right down to the tiny emblems, 5 point harness in the seats and the tiny fire extinguisher in the back seats. 

Whats really nice about this model is that its freakin gold plated. Its the shiniest thing in my basement for sure. I thought only the body would be covered in gold, but the rims, side mirros, grill and the exhaust pipes are too. The golds been plated real smooth and theres barely any imperfections in the body at all. This ones just straight up beautiful. I doubt any of these can be bought from a retail store or sitting a shelf anywhere, but maybe check around on Ebay. but be ready to pay the big bucks, because this bad boys pretty rare with only 2016 pieces around the world. Mines #1316/2016.

Check out the pics: Its shiny as hell.

McFarlane: Halo 3 Master Chief Legendary Collection

Alright, so not too long ago McFarlane released their Halo 3 Legendary Collection. 
This is Master Chief [Spartan-117]. He's pretty damn nice, I picked him up for $20 during the Edmonton Collectible Toys and Comics Show.

He's not very poseable...well. He's not at all. but the detail on him is amazing. The pictures seriously don't do it justice. The paints beautiful, and his armor is washed really well. He comes with a pretty swank base and 3 flood attacking him plus his assault rifle. He's pretty much stuck in this pose, but he looks freakin sweet. Pretty tempted to take him out of the box, but I just don't know where i'd put him. He stands pretty big, much larger than the McFarlane figures. If you see this one, make sure you pick it up. Alrite. 

Good Job McFarlane. Here are some pics:

Star Wars Saga Collection 2006: Ultimate Galactic Hunt Scorch

So this was probably the hardest figure to find in all of 2006 out of the Star Wars basic figures. I don't know if you know what UGH (Ultimate Galactic Hunt), but during the years of 2006/2007/2008 for a dozen of the 60-100 released, they select a few to be "UGH" so maybe 1/50 - 1/200 of that one character to have an Ultimate Galactic Hunt Sticker and the special chrome base. One of the hardest figures to find is Scorch not being Galactic Hunt. The UGH one is ultra rare, so to have this in my collection makes me pretty happy. Paid retail 10 bucks for this guy, here are some pics:
