Thirteen Inches of Pure Manliness

Hoohah! I'll bet you all thought that I was going to do a review of Green Lantern Corps #18. Well, I'll get to it, but Sea's Comic Book Store didn't get their delivery yesturday, so I have to give her time to read it.

But anyway, I go into my beloved CBS, and as I am perusing the shelves, notice that Matt, my equally beloved Comic Book Store Owner has some new statues inside the glass display cases. However, a giant plastic Hal Jordan has fallen down inside the case. Yes...he did land on his head. We snickered about that, believe me. He also fell down right on top of a very nice Wonder Woman bust...and we snickered about THAT too! So, Matt opens the case and is putting Hal back, and I ask him how much, and he replies..."For you...10 bucks".

And that is how I came into possession of a rather cool 13" tall plastic Hal Jordan figure. It isn't very poseable, and the mark on his foot says 1999. I don't know If I've gotten a bargain or what, but I don't care. He's adorable! Oh, if only they made ALL the Green Lanterns in this size!

Of course what I REALLY want is one of those gorgeous figures from DC, with the real cloth costumes, but those things cost a ridiculous amount of money, and I've got kids in college for heaven's sake.
