Batman First Appearance (DC Direct) - Series 1 Rated 4.50 stars by Collector1 Bruce Wayne was a young boy in the early 1920's, son of Thomas and Martha Wayne, wealthy socialites of Gotham City. Returning home one night from a show, the family took a short cut through an ally. Then it happened. A man armed with gun appeared and demanded their money. Thomas Wayne, wanting no harm to come to his family, gladly surrender his wallet but when the mugger went for his wife, he fought back. There was a loud bang and a flash.
Thomas Wayne slumped to the ground, shot dead. Martha, her heart weak, died from shock at seeing her husband's corpse. The mugger fled in terror, leaving behind Bruce who knelt down beside his parents body. That day, he swore vengeance on the thugs and monsters that lurked in Gotham City, praying upon the innocent. Bruce would find a way to strike...[See More]

With barely an education to speak off, the only thing Aleskei was good at was being hired muscle for the Mafia. One day, he was approached by agents of a Russian Government agency that offered him a large sum of money to under go experimentation and work for them as an assassin. Aleski agreed and was transformed into the Russian Super Soldier with incredible strength and speed. Dubbed the Rhino, he became a super-powered criminal for hire.
Time and time again he battled Spider-Man and time and time again, he lost. By the time he was able to gain enough money for his family to move to American, they had learned of his criminal...[See More]

But, Superman would not stay dead. After the arrival of four different heroes, each laying claim to the Superman legacy, and two laying claim to being the resurrected Superman. Through the mechanations of the Last Son, one of the Supermen, Superman was brought back from the dead, but extremely weakened and defenseless against the might the Cyborg Superman, infact Hank Henshaw who was intent on destroying Superman's name using a cloned body and cybernetic upgrades.

Superman (Red Son) Elseworlds (DC Direct) - Series 1 Rated 4.50 stars by Collector1 Elseworlds, stories that make heroes as familiar as yesterday yet seem as fresh as tomorrow. In these stories, they tell tales of worlds that can't, couldn't or shouldn't exist. In one of these worlds, Jor-L launched his only son away from his doomed homeworld in a hastily devised spacecraft. The ship carried the child from the planet just in time as it was destroyed by old age.
The ship crashlanded on a small, blue planet called Earth in the early part of the 20th Century. The ship should have landed on a Kansas roadside. The ship should have been found by the Kents. They should have raised the child within. He should have become the greatest champion of Truth, Justice and the American Way. But he didn't. In this world, a few seconds counted. Instead of American Mid-West, Kal-L landed...[See More]
Steel Superman - Man of Steel (Kenner) - Basic Series Rated 4.50 stars by Collector1 John Henry Irons was one of the four replacement Supermen that appeared shortly after Superman's apparent death battling the alien monster Doomsday and one of the two not claiming to be the original Superman back from the dead. John Irons, known as the Man of Steel by the media, used a suit of powered armor to defend Metropolis in Superman's place.
After the real Superman's resurrection John Henry Irons took the Steel and continued to fight along side Superman as one of his most trusted allies.
I ordered this guy over the internet loose but I had bought loose figures from the same guy before and they were always in pretty good condition save a few nicks or scraps here and there. It arrived timely and was packed away in shredded magazine pages. I...I think one of them was and old...[See More]
Aztec / Superman / Sinestro Justice League Unlimited (Mattel) - 3-Packs Rated 4.50 stars by Collector1 Trained from a young age, Uno has peak human physical and mental capabilities and wears a special suit of armor powered by Fourth-Dimensional Mirrors that grant him super strength, flight, X-Ray vision, flight, invisibility, super speed, super hearing, and the ability to manipulate four-dimensional energies. With these powers, Aztec fights along side the Justice League Unlimited, knowing all too well his ultimate purpose in life...
Aztec made a few cameo appearances in the Justice League Unlimited cartoon, hinting at a possible World War III storyline, but was merely there to act as another of Earth's many hero's and never took center stage in any episode.
Aztec is honored with a toy in the JLU toyline and is accurate to his show model with the necessary consesion made for the move...[See More]

Wonder Woman has brought him a new, hybrid flower named Krypton after his home world and Batman...well Batman got him a card and cash.

Superman is mostly accurate...[See More]
Optimus Prime vs Megatron Transformers - Classics (Hasbro) - Battle Packs Rated 4.00 stars by Collector1 (Megatron)
Founder of the Decepticon uprising on Cybertron, Megatron is an immensely powerful warrior with a seemingly insatiable thirst for conquest and glory, things he see's as the birthright of all Transformers, and if the Autobots and that pathetic Optimus Prime try to get in his way, he will show them why he is called The Great Slag Maker!
Transformers Classics Battle Pack Megatron is based loosly on the first Generation 2 Megatron made which was giant purple and tank (great camo there Megatron! After all, Earth has so many purple and green jungles!) but focuses more on green than purple, thank Primus for that.
Megatron's main turret becomes his right hand and doubles as a dual bladed weapon that spins around and around with the push of a button, while his left hand is simple...[See More]
Optimus Prime vs Megatron Transformers - Classics (Hasbro) - Battle Packs Rated 4.00 stars by Collector1 (Optimus Prime)
The fearless leader of the Autobot's, Optimus Prime will stop at nothing, even sacrificing his own life, to protect the innocent from the evil forces of the Decepticon's, lead by Megatron. Armed with a powerful Laser Rifle and incredible physical strength even by Transformers standard's, Optimus may be the only one capable of putting an end to Megatron once and for all!
Transformers Classics 2 pack Optimus Prime is meant to try and accurately depict the animation model used in the 1985 to 1986 cartoon series. They didn't do it very well.
Like his original toy, Optimus Prime transformers into a cab over truck. His color scheme is the basic red, white and blue seen on most versions of Prime. In vehicle mode, Optimus Prime's arms prove too short to fully reach the end of...[See More]
Megatron Transformers - Classics (Hasbro) - Voyager Class Rated 5.00 stars by Collector1 Founder of the Decepticon uprising on Cybertron, Megatron will lead the Cybertronian race to its great destiny as rulers of the Universe and the only thing that stands in his way are those accursed Autobots and Optimus Prime!
Megatron has taken the form of a Nerf N-Strike Blaster to disguise himself on the primitive world of Earth. This is clearly what caused the toy company's to tell kids not to shoot at other children, they are clearly in league with the Autobots! The mighty Corperate Who-I uh, mean, Megatron has functioning cross hairs in his scope and the trigger activates a clicking action.
Due to safety regulations, Megatrons blaster mode has bright orange tips on the scope and the guns barrel. These have a tendency to fade in color over time, so I would try and keep it from...[See More]
