DC Artists Alley Poison Ivy sculpted by Sam Greenwell and Designed by Sho Murase. This designer vinyl figure is the standard release which means you get her at everywhere comics are sold.

Let's check out this Rainbow Iridescent DC Artists Alley Catwoman by Sho Murase. This version is exclusive to Books-A-Million (BAM!) and limited to 1500 pieces.

The box is simple and to the point. Sometimes that's all you need. 

Here's Catwoman still being held safely in the plastic insert with the plastic ties. 

Love the color and paint on her. It's so sleek and shiny. It's a bit hard to get good pictures though but looks so nice in person. In different lighting the colors will show a bit differently.

Catwoman is sculpted by Jack Matthews. She stands 6.75" tall. She is also on a black base to keep her steady. 

She stands very sturdy with her whip in hand. 


The quality of the paint and figure has been really top notch so far. 

Love the simplicity of the color palette that Sho Murase used here. You don't always need to be intricate or have a lot of colors. Simple yet effective. Very nice!

Here's is a mini art print of Catwoman which is included with this figure. Very nice touch from DC Collectibles.

Thanks again to DC Collectibles for sending us this sample to review.

52Toys Terracotta Warrior Blind Box Review


52Toys has reimagined the archeological discovery of the terracotta army with modern weapons and military accessories. The pottery sculptures that inspired this Candy Box trading figure series where buried with the first emperor of China as protection in the afterlife.


The series is offered in both the traditional terracotta tan and toy soldier army green. The plastic figures are super detailed with a paint was that really makes them look weathered. Overall a super fun series to collect, and if you get doubles it's ok as they look better in groups.

52Toys Kirin Billy Blind Box Review


52Toys has created miniature versions of the popular Kirin Billy soft vinyl toy as part of their Candy Box series of blind boxes trading figures. The character is a juxtaposition of a demonic rockabilly mascot-styled character riding a rocking horse kirin (a mythical Chinese unicorn of sorts.) The original soft vinyl toy was created by Chairman of Purple Toy/ Kiyokawa. The blind boxed figures themselves are very high quality soft vinyl with simple sprays on pastel colored base paint and detailed paint applications on the face. The result is a detailed mini version of the original that will fit nicely in your pocket and be ready for spontaneous adventures with you!


With six pastel commons and a seventh mystery chase figure, you are sure to want a complete set, I know I do!
