I never got around to blogging about all the cool Super-Hero stuff I got last year for XMas, so while I’m getting snowed in by the Blizzard of 2010, I thought I’d take a moment and quickly do up this year.
Last year recap: JLU figures, HeroClix Thor Chariot, several hero T-shirts, Superman PJ’s, and Brave and Bold figures which launched me full into collecting that line which I had only been picking at up until that point.
This year
1) DC Direct Red Tornado from the Alex Ross Justice League line.
2) DC Direct Donna Troy – this hero needs a name – from the Infinite Crisis line.
+ 
3) DC Comics Men’s Sleep Pants. These have character logos on them. Superman, Batman, Flash and Green Lantern chest symbols plus logos from the comics of Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Hawkman, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter and Red Tornado. They also have sound effects: Boom, Kaboom!, Woohm! These came from Walmart. Chip, you might want a pair of these, the logos also include Justice League of America and Super Powers.
4) Wolverine T-shirt. This is cute beyond words.
I’ll try to get back and add pictures later (pictures added). In the mean time, I hope Santa and your family and friends gave you lots of heroic stuff this holiday season. If you’d like, share what you got below.
Merry Christmas

This year I Got
Halo Reach Limited Edition Xbox 360 Controller
The Scott Pilgrim Complete series boxset
DC Direct GL Series 1 Kilowog
Diamond Select Megatron Minibust
Overall not too bad. Pretty excited about getting that Kilowog (I’ve been needing one FOREVER!) and now that I have that Megatron bust, I just need to find Soundwave and Bumblebee to complete that set!
I got the Eleven Doctors Figure set, Doctor Who Series Five, Castle Season Two, The Tick vs. Season Two, and G.I. Joe Resolute.
I got allDCUC Eradicator, Atom, Captain Atom Silver, Wildcat, standard Martian Manhunter, and standard Dr. Fate. Also the GL 5 pack and confirmation for that my set of wave # 16 has been preordered from BBTS.
I got massive amounts of debt from the unbelievable pile o’ loot I ended up getting for my son. (It was worth it though. Any time a kid asks for a break from unwrapping because there is too much, you know you did it up in style.)
For myself, I ended up with the new 75 year history of DC Comics book by Taschen. It is truly, truly amazing and I can’t even begin to describe how much I am loving the book (and I’m only 10 pages in and still in awe of everything they have done with it.) and re-arranging every book shelf I own to make a place of prominence for this massive tome.
Hah. Love the debt comment. My kids are past that point in general. I did buy one of them a huge Nerf gun for playing Humans vs Zombies (apparently Nerf darts have the inherent ability to stun people pretending to be zombies long enough for the humans to get away).
For Channukah:
A few gift cards and all that jazz, Icons: the DC and Wildstorm Art of Jim Lee (which I think should’ve also included some of his Marvel art), a box of Baconpop Popcorn, and a “Fall Quarter Finals Survival Kit”.
I got
Skeletor and He-man from MOTU CLassics
a Buzz Lightyear figure
and a couple of Marvel comics t-shirts!
Where did you get that Wolverine shirt? That’s pretty cool. For me, I was pleasantly surprised to receive the Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics DVD & Superman: Earth One hardcover.
I got:
DCUC: Alan Scott
DCUC: Zatanna
Iron Man 2 figures: Movie War Machine, Modern Armor, Silver Centurion
100 bucks worth of comics
The DC Vault
oh and Donna Troy does have a codename, its Troia.
