I have once again photographed another family portrait of a bunch of goofy colorful characters! It was another case of “geez I have a lot of these figs lying around on their own, why don’t I put them all together in ONE GIANT PHOTO!”
And I know nobody ever reads these, but if you did, a majority of the custom figs are my own designs using elements and fig parts from Christo7108, Citizen Brick, BigKidBrix, Lab9, KOPF/Knock-Offs, Minifig Madness, Phoenix Customs, EclipseGrafx, Funny Brick, Minifigure Maniacs, Crystal Minifigs… and uh yeah… probably more. Additionally Martian Mahunter’s boots are edited. They do not exist.
If you guys want to see how I edited this shot, check out my Patron to watch it all come together! Or grab yourself a poster on my RedBubble! :)
All the links are in the bio! ;)

Bram Stoker’s Dracula
By R. A. Jones
Like word of the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in 1849 drew thousands of fortune hunters to California, news that a few rare comic books can be worth thousands of dollars prompted many to become comics collectors. Most will be disappointed, and then move on to other ventures.
Ventures such as trading cards. They are the hot ‘collectors’ item now. Capitalizing on the demand, many comic book stores also carry a wide variety of trading cards.
The next step in this melding of collectibles has now been taken. Topps – one of the major producers of trading cards for many years – recently decided to branch out and form its own comic book publishing arm.
The first fruit of their labor is now available. Entitled “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”, it is an adaptation of the motion picture playing in theaters now. Insiders have questioned the wisdom of starting a line off with such a title. Movie adaptations of recent vintage aren’t usually highly valued as collectibles – especially if the movie should flop.
Also, by the time all four issues of this mini-series can see print, the original will be well on its way to video stores. This likewise plays to the theory that people won’t be interested in reading a comic when it’s faster and better to see the actual movie.
Such considerations aside, this is an excellent comic book in terms of scripting, artwork, and overall production values. If nothing else, it proves that Topps can be expected to produce comics with the same high standards of quality that they employ in their trading cards.
It can be enjoyed as a supplement to the movie (and to the original novel), and comes highly recommended as such.
“Bram Stoker’s Dracula” costs $2.95 per issue, and is available in comic book specialty stores.

Comics - there's nothing else in the modern age like it, the Superheroes have been with us on paper, radio, TV, Toys, Movies, Video games, LEGO.. it's a way of life.
Batman will always have a special place in my heart, even if his heart is broken...
This was another one of my @rebellug Vignweek 24 hr build. I've always wanted to do a Crime Alley build to evoke that emotion in a single scene... perfect for a vignette, or a comic book cover!
Another in my Amazing Builder Series (ABS) homage builds - Many years ago I saw Dave Kaleta's amazing Crime Alley build at Brickworld Chicago and always wanted to tackle something similiar.
UG Minifigures Red Death Flash has got it all!
Front printing, back printing, leg printing, underarm printing, a custom made headpiece, a chromed bat-symbol!
Then on top of all that, the design itself so well replicated that when you look at it, makes you hear Motörhead or Black Sabbath almost immediately :P
Dude! Holy cow! Talk about giving Christo a run for his money! :P
Now, to be fully honest, Christo still has a litttttle better quality custom molded parts, but as far as prints go, this fig takes the cake! I mean, this figure has a chrome print! How cool is that! What a neat idea to vacuum metalize this fig of all figs!
A Dark Knight Metal Death Flash ft. Vaccum Metalized prints! How good is that! :P
...I mean really though, if UG should be known for anything, it should be their chroming of their figs! Like, take a look at their Doctor Fate! :P
There are so many things to appreciate about this figure! The design is fantastic and the finest of details in the helmet mold are amazing! It's a super sleek and clean looking figure! FunnyBrick and UG are blowing my mind with this figure and I’m really glad to own one! :)
This has got to be one of my newest favorite figures I own, with out a doubt in my mind! :)

And now, words of a wise man that once commented on one of Roman's photos that one time because it was too good not to have written up here in this post about DK Metal! Plus it took a long time to write that comment anyway and yeah... idk, but here it is :P
––––––
Okay boys this is gonna get really complicated really quickly so hold on to your cowls!
To know who The Bat Who Laughs is, requires you to know about DC’s “alternate earths” concept.
So back in the 1940s there was only one earth, until Gardner Fox brought back the JSA in the 1960s. So then there was two earths, then three, then an infinite number of earths and then George Perez killed them all with a giant space alien robot. So because of that there was only one earth again, then there was Hypertime in the 90s which we don’t talk about, then there was a few of them again because Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns or something, then Barry Allen had a Flashpoint and there was 52 of them for what ever reason. Then after a few years, now we’re here in DC Rebirth (kinda) where it’s a little ambiguous how many earths there are right now.
So now take all of that info as if it was written on a piece of paper. One side of the paper is white; that represents all the stuff I just said. On the other side of that paper, it’s all black.
That “other side” of the multiverse is what Scott Snyder calls The Dark Multiverse #spooky
"OKAY SO THE DARK MULTIVERSE IS THIS PLACE OF INFINITE DARK EARTHS WHERE EVERY POSSIBLE THING THAT COULD GO BAD HAS GONE BAD. THE BAT WHO LAUGHS IS FROM ONE OF THESE EARTHS WHERE BATMAN WENT CRAZY AND TURNED INTO THE JOKER AND HAS LITTLE ROBIN GOBLINS FOR PETS. SO HE AND THIS DUDE BARBATOS HOOKS UP WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER DARK MULTIVERSE JUSTICE LEAGUE MEMBERS LIKE BATMAN FLASH AND BATMAN CYBORG AND BATMAN DOOMSDAY ALL BECAUSE BATMAN IS SO F-ING COOL AND MAKES US SO MUCH MONEY OMG" -- The DC Executives
Aaaand that's Dark Knights Metal in a nutshell (this took way to long to write and I left out A LOT of details like about Hawkman being an earth forger and all the stuff about n'th metals and junk about the source wall and shit, plus all the radical costume designs that sound like Death Metal when you look at them).
It's a cool story.
Also...comics are dumb and super complicated :P
