It's like a new house!

Here is a glimpse of the fruits of our labours this long-weekend, well, mainly Graig's labours, as he was the one who put this monstrosity together. My husband is awesome :)

That Flash statue is really, really old. I think its one of the first ones DC did. I *think* its based off a Wierengo design, but I'm not completely sure. I got this statue for free as a friend of mine was clearing out all his stuff in preparation for moving across the country, so for that price, yes, I'm happy with it :) It's not a great statue, the pose is really nice for sure, but he's a little... out of proportion somehow, and the paint job is so so. I mean, overall I do like it, but would I have paid money for it? Probably not.

Yes, that is the Nightcrawler bust as well.

Graig's the big Kyle Baker fan, so he gave me my copy of Cowboy Wally (I suppose we have two now). I assume he has a copy of Birth of a Nation, but I have no idea, I have yet to make my way through that huge comic collection of his.

The hockey players are just action figures, and they're off to a side, so now, looking at this picture, I see that it is hard to see them.

Other statues are the original Robin (perched on a roof with his bo staff), the 3 YJ boys, Alan Scott (not with the others), Nightwing, and busts of Magneto, Nightcrawler and Captain Britain.

Thanx for the Save

Ok... I thought the statue looked better in YOUR pic then in the pics I saw on ebay, hence my wondering why I didn't have it... but based on your review, I guess I saw it and didn't like it enough to buy. So will leave it unbought. Esp as I want to get Starro and a Kitty bust...

And now that you mention it, I recognize the Robin( I sold that one on ebay as I just didn't have room for him...), Squinting I *think* Brit's next to Flash, I recognized Nightcrawler next to the 3 yjers... and again with help, I see that Nightwing is on the OTHER side of the YJERS, and lastly Mags is inbetween Brit and Robin..
And still don't see alan but no big deal...

And not sure if Graig would be as amused by Birth of a Nation as we americans... but if he has it, give it a read- it's written by the same guy who does the boondocks- Baker's just the artist( though a darn good one)
