Kumik Jessica Alba head and Kumik female body

After seeing the amazing bashes from OneSixthWarrior I decided to make an Invisible Woman bash myself. I bought a Kumik female body ($29 shipped on ebay), an old Barbie Invisible Woman. 


The Kumik body is really nice, huge range of articulation, plus it can fit barbie clothes - a little tight, but it fits!


The Kumik head sits a little high on the Kumik body so I took out the rubber plug inside the head, and I think it looks much better. I cannot wait to get boots for this figure to finally complete this bash.


I also tried putting the Kumik head on my Nancy bash and I'm liking it. The head seems a little small for the hot toys body, so I might finally get myself one of those Phicen body!



TOY HAULS FOR FEBRUARY

I normally don't buy a lot of toys at retail mainly because: 
- most of my money is going directly to Matty
- nothing in retail excites me
- tired of getting the same characters over and over again

However I couldn't resist picking up the new Batman Unlimited Penguin figure! This is mostly a redeco of the DCUC series one Penguin with the exception of the Super Powers head and colors. I saw the other figures from the line but I made a point of not getting any of the new 52 figures. The design and stories so far have been bad imho.




I pick up this redeco Iron Man figure as well! Hasbro used the mole from the 2-pack Iron Man, but this time I find the colors superior to the old one. I'll most likely skip the other figures in the line, I'm trying to just focus on the classic version of a certain character...otherwise there is no end to collecting!



Yep, not a GI JOE fan but at $12+ after tax, it was too good a deal to resist! The box was crap but everything is intact. Took like 30 minutes just to put all all the decals! I love the small super articulated pilot, lots of details too.


Its now proudly displayed on top of my Detolf cabinet. I'll worry about dusting this toy some other day.



Lastly, pick up these 2 figures from the Young Justice cartoon, mainly for the Hall of Justice parts. The ones I got previously had a broken part and I just felt the urge to have one without defect! The figures are really nice and I'm still on the fence if I want to complete the 4" figures or not. The last figures from the line command a high price on the secondary market!

MATTY COLLECTOR JANUARY 2013 FIGURES!

Got Netossa the other day and I must say she turn out to be a beautiful figure. The face sculpt is really nice, one of the better female sculpt from the 4 Horsemen. I'm a little scared her net cape...it seems like it might crack given some time

Also got Saint Walker, a figure I'm currently liking mainly after watching the excellent Green Lantern Animated series. Here's hoping they do Razor and Aya somewhere down the road!
