DC Signature Collection Review

My review of the DC Signature Collection I did for the Phantom Troublemaker is up.  Check it out HERE.  It's got a lot of photos that I had a blast taking the other night.

Go check it out!

New Painting - Toy Gun

This one is kind of the opposite how I normally work.  Normally I start with the painting and move to a print. For this one I actually created the digital print a few years ago and I just got around to putting it on canvas.  This is an acrylic painting on a 12"x24" stretched canvas.  I changed up the coloring a little bit.  What coloring scheme do you like better? The print or painting?   

 

The print is currently available on Etsy.  Check it out here.

R.I.P. - The Belligerent Monkey Office

We here at the Belligerent Monkey H.Q. have recently been blessed with a new addition to the family.  And like any addition to the family, they have to go somewhere.  And that somewhere was my office.  Today, my office is a beautiful nursery with a beautiful baby girl calling it her home.  But for many years it looked like this:

What follows are a ton of photos I took right before I packed up everything and moved it down to the basement (aka the Belligerent Monkey Office II).  I have a couple of bookshelves set up with some toys displayed but no where near like before.  Our next house is going to have to include a library for all of daddy's toys that the girls get to look at but not touch.  Click on the photos to see a much larger version.

Mattel Leaks Their SDCC Announcement

Last night Mattel accidentally listed their new DC Universe Classics subscription line.  This is one of their announcements they are making on Friday at San Diego Comic-Com.   I'll be signing up for it.  I will want the figures plus I won't have to deal with the white screen of death and horrible wait/refresh times on sale days.

Club Infinite Earths
With the all-new 2012 Club Infinite Earths, the DC Universe becomes part of the Mattel subscription family for the first time. While you'll still find 6" figures at retail, MattyCollector.com will be the only place to get fan-demanded and true collector characters!
This club is 100% the result of fan requests. In order to make it happen, we need to reach a certain number of subscriptions. Throughout the subscription sign-up period, the thermometer will be updated to show how close we are. If we don't hit the goal, then we won't be able to offer the club. But if we do (and we really hope we do), then the club's a "go" and you can look forward to the ultimate DC Universe toy collecting experience!
