It's a new month which means it's time to set up a new display on the top shelf of my bookshelf. This month it's a Retro Avengers vs. Masters of Evil. I added COBRA army builders are there to break up what would be the monotony of the Avengers fighting Spider-Man villains. I wouldn't put it past Dr. Doom to have COBRA be Latveria's national security agency.

New month, new display time. This month I have a display of all things, Batman, because Batman Day comes this month on the 17th.





I almost thought about having every Minifigure in the Lego Minifigure box be a Batman character but then when I saw that my action figures would just obscure most of the Minifigures, I was glad I didn't do that. Maybe next year. The 60s Batman & Catwoman Funko figures were last-minute additions I dusted them after taking the photo.

What are we doing to celebrate?

I found Major Bludd at Brothers Toys & Collectibles, it's going to fit nicely with the rest of my developing COBRA roster.






Also I found a loose figure of Superman from the DC Universe Classics line which means saying goodbye to the placeholder I have from that line.

Here's Superman with the rest of my DCUC figures so far.

My Spider-Verse or maybe it's more of a Clone Saga of Marvel Legends Spider-Men.




Here is my Spawn figures from the 1990s 5" line. Spawn and Medieval Spawn are missing most of their accessories including their capes, then again these were loose figures I found at Vintage Stock, so whoever resold them didn't make sure they had everything for the figures before reselling them. Though without these figures, I wouldn't be the Spawn fan I am today because my parents buying them for me introduced me to Spawn.



My 2003 Batman 6" line collection most of these were loose figures I found at Vintage Stock that's why Nightwing is missing his sticks. Surprisingly the Ninja Batman and Armored Batman did have everything they were supposed to have when I bought them. I just need to find all of the Armored Batman's gear so for now, he'll have his wrist rocket launcher. I need to find the other half of the Ninja Batman's staff, I always thought the Wolverine claw gadget was the cooler accessory anyway. I know where Joker's hammer is, I just never liked that version of his hammer too plain so I gave him an assault rifle instead. Arctic Batman and Mr. Freeze were birthday gifts I got way back when this line was on the shelves, in fact, those two figures introduced me to Batman. I would pair these up with the Toybiz Marvel Legends Spider-Man Vs. Doc Ock set I had at the time and do Batman & Spider-Man team-ups against Dr. Octopus & Mr. Freeze. Until the Toybiz figures broke because they weren't very well made. I have lost the Arctic Batman harpoon launcher (?) and I think his translucent orange visor broke. The shield was always my favorite accessory because it could become a snowboard when necessary. That's why the Arctic Batman is the only figure in the line with holes in his feet. I will say Superman was the most unusual figure in the line because he has his own franchise and would have no reason to be in a Batman line when he can have his own separate line. Also because his figure is so different from all the other figures. He's the only figure with elbow articulation and aside from Killer Croc the only character with feet articulation. He also has a rubber cape while everyone else has cloth capes. Also, I didn't realize it until recently but I have every character in that line, I just don't have every version of Batman the line has to offer. That line was primarily Batman variants. Superman was put into the line before Batgirl, Catwoman, Riddler, Two-Face, Bane, Scarecrow, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Penguin ever were. Only making the inclusion of Superman weirder. The Superman figure did show how Mattel's articulation for 6" figures would improve for lines like DC Super Heroes which was their next line.

I went to a local mall to check out a Labor Day sale at the new EntertainMART that opened there and found some neat stuff.

I got the Leader from the Marvel Legends line at a 33% discount because it was used.

Then I went to Gamestop in the same mall and got Soul Crusher at a discount. Now here are revised picks of my 7" Spawn figures.

I got the DC Multiverse Grifter figure and I must say it's a cool one. Since Grifter is a Wildstorm character that means he was an Image character until DC acquired Wildstorm in 1998. So this first round of pictures is Grifter bridging the DC and Image universes.




Now here's the Grifter with just DC Heroes since he became full-on DC Hero now, and was brought into the main DC Universe after Flashpoint.
