Top 5 Best Batman Viliain Action Figures

Talia
  I've posted about the most ridiculous Batman Action Figures and the Best Batman Action figures, and I have posted the Ridiculous villain figures now it's time for the top 5 best Batman Villain action figures.
1, Talia. This figure was exclusive to a Toys R Us 4pack called Shadows of Gotham City. It's one of those obscure Hasbro figures that got made towards the end of there days with the DC license. She included with 2 pistols.










Ra's Al Ghul

2. Ra's Al Ghul. This figure was also released by Hasbro in the Shadows of Gotham City 4pack. Unlike his first figure, this figure has the proper attire that he had in Batman the Animated Series. He also came with the missile launcher that had been released a bunch of times. 







The Mad Hatter
3. The Mad Hatter. Although this design is based on his original design from Batman The Animated Series, this had to make the list. Is it irony? Nope. It's just a perfect design. This figure was released twice. The other was a repaint.
















Poison Ivy Redesign
4. Poison Ivy. This Poison Ivy figure is from the Frozen Assets Toys R Us Exclusive 4 pack. This figure is the redesign from the New Batman Adventures.


















Harley Quinn
5.  Harley Quinn. This figure is from the Adventures of Batman and Robin line and was released in a a few multipacks since then. It is one of the best villain figures Hasbro/Kenner made. Do you find it interesting that Harley Quinn follows Poison Ivy on this List?

Shelfwarmer

  Today I thought I would write a definition of a collectors term. A shelfwarmer or pegwarmer is a item that sits on the shelves for an eternity and doesn't sell very well. This mostly refers to toys notably action figures to be exact.
  So what kind of action figures/toys are considered shelfwarmers? I will list the following examples.
  • John Cena action figures
  • Rey Mysterio action figures
  • Randy Orton action figures
  • Lightning McQueen diecast cars.
  • Dale Earnhardt Jr Spin Master NASCAR diecast cars.
  • Alberto Del Rio action figures
  • The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters Batman action figures. NOTE: Everyone else but Batman Sells Well.
  • Select Hot Wheels Monster Jam Then and Now 2packs NOTE: Mostly the first wave
  • Select Transformers action figures
  • WWE FlexForce Action Figures
  • Various Hot Wheels cars
  • Mater Die Cast Cars
  • Mutt Williams action figures

Elite 18 Jerry Lawler

  Today I got my Mattel Elite Series 18 Jerry Lawler flashback. It's an awesome figure that was highly anticipated by Mattel WWE collectors like myself. No collection is complete without The King. Now this figure is one of the best flashbacks Mattel has given us. In fact just about every flashback they give us is a home run out of the ballpark. Well since Mattel cancelled the legends line, they have been including flashbacks in every elite series since series 12. Usually the odd numbered series contain only one flashback figure such as, series 13, 15, 17, with the exception of series 19 which gives us 2 flashbacks. The even numbered series gets two flashbacks in the set such as series 12, 14, 16, 18, 19.
The Attire that the Figure is based on.
  Sadly flashbacks are shortpacked to one per case. That factor annoys collectors. Now where was I? Oh yes elite 18 Jerry the King Lawler.
The picture above is the attire that the figure is based on from his WrestleMania XXVII attire.
To your left is the Mattel figure.

Warrior Deluxe Edition Review

  Today I thought I would do another album review. So up for review today is Ke$ha's new album, Warrior. It is the deluxe edition. Now Warrior is a raunchier than Ke$ha's previous albums. It is her second album with a tipper sticker with the first being her remix album. The Deluxe edition of Warrior has 16 tracks instead of the standard editions 12 tracks.
  Warrior has a completely different sound than Ke$ha's previous album Animal and EP, Cannibal. Ke$ha drops a bunch of F-bombs in the album which is ok for me. This album is not for everybody. Especially those who hate explicit lyrics or concerned parents. Now most people out there have some sort of hate about Ke$ha. I am one of those who don't hate her. I liked the album very much. It is one of those I can listen to again and again.
The Deluxe Edition Album Art
  Most of the songs on Warrior are high energy dance tracks with very sick synth beats. I think this works pretty well for Ke$ha's image. One of my favorite songs from the Deluxe Edition is Gold Trans Am. Ke$ha mentions Gold Trans Am's in some of her previous songs so I liked where this was going since I am a car buff. Gold Trans Am was also co-written by her mother Pebe Sebert.
  Warrior's lead single is Die Young. The Second confirmed single is C'Mon which is scheduled for official release sometime in January 2013.
  Here is the tracklist for the Deluxe Edition of Warrior
  1. Warrior
  2. Die Young
  3. C'Mon
  4. Thinking of You
  5. Crazy Kids
  6. Wherever You Are
  7. Dirty Love
  8. Wonderland
  9. Only Wanna to Dance With You
  10. Supernatural
  11. All That Matters (The Beautiful Life)
  12. Love Into the Light
  13. Last Goodbye
  14. Gold Trans Am
  15. Out Alive
  16. Past Lives

Matchbox Real Working Rigs Freightliner Business Class M2 106V

A Vactor
  On Saturday I went to Kmart on my lunch break and came across a new Matchbox Real Working Rigs truck. It was the Freightliner Business Class M2 106V Vactor. I love Freightliners and Matchbox Real Working Rigs, so what a good combination this is. Now many of the new Real Working Rigs are generic designs that are stupid looking. But this Freightliner is keeping the line more realistic for me. It was on sale for $4 plus it was 50% off shockingly so I only paid $2 for it. Not too shabby.

3 Things I Hate About the Holidays

 The holiday season has come upon us. Some of us like it others hate certain aspects of it. So I thought I would write about what I hate about the holiday season. Now I know what you're thinking, I'm a Scrooge. Well Honestly I am not one. So here is what I hate about the Holidays.
  1. The Salvation Army bell ringers. Now I hate them because of the noise they bring about during the holidays. They cause a ton of noise pollution and annoy the hell out of people who work outside of big box stores. I also refuse to donate to them because they are anti gay.
  2. Christmas Music. I know I reviewed a Christmas EP earlier. That is the only exception because Christina Perri is an artist that I support and did a good job on it. Now I hate Christmas Music because the day after Halloween, stores start playing Christmas Music nonstop. When you work in a store you cannot escape it. You're sick of hearing it after one hour of it.
  3. Fragrance Commercials. These pollute the airwaves during the holiday season to the point that you want to shoot your TV. Enough Said.

I Hate One Direction

  Let me kick off December with one of my I Hate "X" rants. I love music. But some music I cannot stand whatsoever. This time it's One Direction. I'll be abbreviating them to 1D for shorthand so I don't have to type One Direction again. Ok on to the rant.
  I hate 1D because they are another product of rigged reality singing/talent competition shows such as The X-Factor. In fact 1D pollutes the airwaves to the point that I want to hurl. Better yet shoot my radio in my car. This band gets me pissed off for many reasons. The number one reason is that they are way overplayed on the radio at ad nauseam. Every time you change the station to escape the wrath of 1D, they're on your alternate station.
  Everywhere you go you just cannot escape them. One of the many things I look forward to when I take my 15 minute break at work, is seeing if anybody had left one of those celebrity gossip magazines one one of the tables. So today there were 3 different ones. While looking through one of them I noticed that there were 2 pages dedicated to the stupid and embarrassing things that 1D has done, such as getting drunk and getting a tattoo. [Insert Facepalm Here] I am too lazy to insert the Picard Facepalm image right now. Where was I? Oh yes embarrassing things 1D has done. All I have to say the average person who buys a magazine with false info doesn't give a rats arse about 1D. They're probably way older than 1D's fanbase who are mostly tweens who dream of dating these terrible singers.
  1D is so bad that their CDs double as toys. How is that you say? Any CD doubles as a Frisbee. That's a fact. So any Terrible artist's CD is a Frisbee, whether its Xtina, Madonna, or 1D. They all can be a Frisbee if you pretend it to be one.
 One Direction Sucks!
