Swamp Thing (a.k.a. Dunkin) was an amazing rescue. A gal who had just moved to Florida spotted this tiny kitten running around in the swamp behind her apartment complex. She crawled around the swamp for days trying to trap him and finally did. Not sure how she found Kathy - but she did and he is just an amazing kitty. We had so much fun with him while he was being fostered. He is now in his Forever Home! yeah! I love Happy Tails!

Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is the name given to a cryptid ape- or hominid-like creature that some people believe inhabits forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Bigfoot is usually described as a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid. The term sasquatch is an anglicized derivative of the Halkomelem word sásq'ets.
Most scientists discount the existence of Bigfoot and consider it to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax. They are all wrong he is alive and living in Devon.
Not my collection, but Evan's. He's been collecting comics for about 25 years (there are a dozen more boxes in storage, but he's trying to pare them down). We don't try to hide them, but they're not on display, either.

Broly started out with the most popular DBZ movie ever. The first sequel did okay, but wasn't very good. And then they did THIS. It's widely known as the worst of the DBZ movies, though I PERSONALLY would say Tree of Might is the worst, and put this one a little bit above that.
So, Broly died in movie 10. There is no way around that. You saw his heart burst out of his chest, and then he disintegrated - and not an ambiguous disintegration, either, you could see the chunks. So, how to bring him back?
Lord Jaguar, a tiny little fat rich dude, used to be Mr. Satan's rival when they were about ten years old. Nowadays, he is obsessed with defeating Hercule, and hatched... a PLAN! He hired a bunch of scientists to genetically engineer an army of bio-warriors, and then challenged Satan to fight them all. And when he invited Mr. Satan over for a fight, he also got Goten, Trunks, Krillin, and Android 18 (18 was extorting the prize money Satan owed her). So the three real fighters beat up Jaguar's bio-warriors easily, and a fun time was had by all.
BUT... Jaguar had a trump card - the goofy idiot village priest from Movie 10 collected some of Broly's blood after the battle, and sold it to Jaguar. And so, Jaguar cloned Broly.
The new clone Broly barely got out of his incubation chamber when stuff went BAD. As it turned out, the culture fluid f.rom those cloning vats, while suitable for incubation, turns super-toxic and acidic when it comes in contact with oxygen. It also increases its own mass dramatically. Bio-Broly got angry, and broke some lab equipment, and toxic culture fluid flooded everywhere (killing the other bio-warriors, several scientists, and a mutated dog). It got all over Broly, but only dissolved him a little bit before it hardened and turned into his new body, transforming him into a sludge monster. The new Bio-Broly was not as strong as the original (Krillin could briefly go tow-to-toe with him), but was still dangerous. Eventually, Goten and Trunks managed to drench it in more culture fluid, dissolving it completely before picking up all the survivors and escaping the lab. As it turned out, culture fluid turns to harmless rock when it comes in contact with salt water (wow, this stuff is convenient), so they used that to end the threat. Bio-Broly returned one more time at the end of the movie, now Godzilla-sized because he had absorbed more slime, but was quickly turned to stone and then blown up. It's kind of pitiful when you think about it that way.
...Okay. Wow. I give the movie credit for doing something different (it really is different from the other DBZ movies) and breaking formula, but... yeah. Poor Broly, reduced to a slime zombie.
This figure is actually super cool. Not only does he glow in the dark (always a win), but he's got Super Swamp Punching Action too! Just like the ol' Kenner Super Powers figures. He's sort of in scale with them too, about half an inch taller, which is appropriate because Swamp Thing is a giant!
Swamp Thing: Humanoid mass of vegatable matter who fights to protect his swamp and plant life in general.
Animal Man: Superhero with the power to "borrow" the abilities of animals and an advocate for animal rights.
If they had to fight, who would win?

This is the Snare-Arm version of the title character from Kenner's Swamp-Thing line, and he is considered by collectors to be the definitive Swampy from the short-lived series.
Adrienne Barbeau, born June 11, 1945 in Sacramento, California, is an American actress and the author of three books. Barbeau came to prominence in the 1970s as Broadway's original Rizzo in the musical Grease, and as Carol Traynor, the divorced daughter of Maude Findlay in the sitcom Maude. In the early 1980s, Barbeau was a sex symbol, starring in several horror and science fiction films including The Fog, Creepshow, Swamp Thing, and Escape from New York. During the 1990s, she became known for providing the voice of Catwoman on Batman: The Animated Series and subsequent Batman cartoon series. In the 2000s, she appeared in the HBO series Carnivàle as Ruthie the snake dancer.
Photo was taken on June 19, 2011 at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo (BMO Centre, Calgary, Alberta, Canada). Of my day at the convention, Adrienne was my favourite meeting. A truly beautiful woman, she is friendly, personable, and gracious.
