Mattel WGSH: Green Arrow

I just realized I haven't posted this guy yet, man am I behind!

Matty Collector offered up Green Arrow here last December as a way to kick things off for the new Mattel "Megos".



There is actually a funny story that goes with this guy, the night I received him in the mail I was checking out the Mego Forums and noted that one of the members had received one with two right feet. I laughed, then it bugged me so much I had to check. Sure enough mine had two left feet. Arrrrrrrrgh! Okay it didn't bug me that much, but I wasn't about to go to Mattel with this problem, I might never see my Green Arrow again. I did offer up a foot trade though with the member that had two rights. about a week or so latter we had made our exchange and both parties were happy that Green Arrow could now stand on correct footings.



Before Bubbashelby can rib me, which I know is coming, yes you have to take the entire costume off to fix his feet. But you know what? Try to fix just the feet on a non dolly figure. Huh, huh? That's what I thought.



All that aside I'm really digging this line and cannot wait to pick up the other two from the first series and then this summer get Batman and Two Face! If you missed the Green Arrow though I think Matty may be getting ready to release some more into the market. You can check here.

Mattel WGSH: Green Lantern

Worlds Greatest Super Heroes are in the stores! This weekend I picked up one from the first series, Green Lantern!

I took a little trip to the local Toys R Us with hopes of finding this guy, what are the chances they ever have what you are looking for, right? Not only did they have Green Lantern , but they had one of each of the rest of the figures in the set; Superman, Lex Luthor and Sinestro.

Green Lantern Power Battery Included!

I couldn't make up my mind which one I wanted to get first, being on a budget it was out of the question to pick up the whole set in one shot, that would have been sweet though. So, it came down to Superman and Green Lantern. I figured Green Lantern would be the hard to come by figure in the coming weeks so I took a chance and left Sups behind, I might go back on pay day and see if the Man of Steel is still hanging out.

Those Boots are made for walking...

This is actually the second in the line that I have, the first is the Matty Collector Green Arrow, which I was planing on posting today, but I am moving him to later now. Here's a nice little grouping with my Flea Market Batman!

I hope Bats changes into something green before St. Patrick's Day

And now everyone repeat after me:

"In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power... Green Lantern's light!"
