So he does this thing in his self-titled game, where he shoots
while moving backwards. Thought it was pretty funny.

this is the gem for this wave (at least for me). he is eons better than the toybiz one. excellent sculpt, articulation and paint. the symbiote accessory is a bonus and looks good pegged in his back.
The Green Goblin out and about looking for trouble. Green Goblin figure comes from the Marvel Legends series 13 Onslaught baf wave.
A sudden, unexpected heaviness settles on Peter Parker. A sense of dread.
Parker: Sorry, right here with you April.
April: So, yeah, we can go tomorrow if you have time and I can show you the major news spots in Paprihaven. We can-
Parker: (thinking) What is all of this? Where am I? Those crash dummies again. One doesn't have arms. Or does he? Stored away? How does that work? And Chameleon and Terrax... Terrax!!... standing in plain view. How is any of this right? What is Paprihaven?
April: -make a day of it and it will really help you out in your job. Knowing the city.
Parker: (thinking) I've got to find out more.
April: You zoning out again??
Parker: Oh, yeah, sure April!
The title is taken from Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove, widely considered the greatest Western novel of all time, also the basis of a six-hour TV miniseries that's likewise considered by many to be the greatest Western of all time.
Robert Duvall portrays Texas Ranger Augustus McCrae, whose vanity leads him to include this Latin phrase on the sign of the Hat Creek Cattle Company, despite the fact that it becomes clear he has no idea what it means. (The internet assures me that he also has the phrase wrong, whatever the case).
This photo was a hasty afterthought when I was already on my way back to the car at the end of the shoot, but it may be my favorite, simply because it's unlike most any other photo in my stream.
Alice: Everyone, attention please!
All: Yes, my Queen!
Alice: We are quite honored with the privilege of welcoming Princess Diana of Thema... Themi... oh, fiddlesticks, what is your isle?
Wonder Woman: Themyscira.
Alice: I do apologize. Princess Diana of Themyscira and the Batman of Gotham City. A most pronounceable name.
All: Welcome Princess Diana and the Batman!
Mad Hatter: It's the Batman's birthday!!!
Alice: It's not his birthday, Hatter.
Mad Hatter: Oh... but I thought it must be!
Alice: Is it your birthday, Batman?
Batman: No.
Alice: There. Now, introductions everyone!
A minor storm breaks out as their Queen has demonstrated shock.
Sailor Jupiter: My Queen! My Queen?!
Esmeralda: Oh, has he insulted you??
Carlsbad: Give me the word and I'll toss him out!
At the eye of the storm, Batman and Alice sit silently. Their eyes locked.
Wonder Woman: Alice... Queen Alice...
Mad Hatter: The tea! The tea! Oh, what a development.
Snow White: Everyone calm down! He has asked a question and the Queen is considering.

Old Town, in the quaint home of the Chameleon...
Green Goblin: -losing money! The patrons are complaining about those front row hoodlums!
Chameleon: We are not 'losing money'. We are making less money than projected. Nothing which we cannot turn around.
Doctor Octopus: We must protect our market! I shall go to the front row and wreak mayhem!!!
Chameleon: Let's not forget that we need to operate largely in a legal capacity. The Elders of Old Town** watch closely.
Green Goblin: Well what about those ruffians in the front row! You said that little fiend*** would take care of them and he's in the hospital from an anvil blow to his cranium!
Chameleon: Setting aside the irony of an arch-villain such as yourself calling theater-goers 'ruffians', it is true that Grand High Heckler Sky's anvil skills proved more formidable than expected.
Doctor Octopus: I waylayed her in the parking lot. She still doesn't know it was me! Ha! HaaahaHAHA!!
Green Goblin: Why don't you send this oaf to take her out!
Jack Slater: Ah'm naht ahn oahf!!
Chameleon: I use Slater for his scintillating stage performances and product enforcement.****
Green Goblin: He can't even growl at people! Say 'GRRR'! Say it!
Slater: GAAAAHHHHH!!!
Green Goblin: SEE!??
Doctor Octopus: The man is completely incapable of GRRing!!
Chameleon: What does that matter!??
Green Goblin: We are silent partners in this venture and we want a respectable ROI!!!

Alice: It was absolutely splendid for you and Batman to come by, Diana!
Wonder Woman: Alice, I agree. So much was accomplished. We move forward this time much stronger than last.
Snow White: And that is comforting!
Wonder Woman: Thank you again for your reception and your hospitality. With what we've done today we'll be seeing a lot of each other, though hopefully we will end the war victoriously with all speed.

Old Town, in the quaint home of the Chameleon...
Chameleon: Peter Parker! How strange to find you in Paprihaven, and still a snooping reporter! Well, you have unwittingly provided the answer to all of our problems!
Parker: (thinking) I was snooping because, once I saw that Chameleon was the owner of the Bijou Planks*, I knew something was rotten! And here's the Green Goblin! And Doc Ock! I could break these ropes, but I don't want to give away my secret identity. I'll play it cool and find out what's going on.
Doctor Octopus: What's going on, Chameleon? How will this inquisitive reporter solve our problems?
Chameleon: I have had Jack Slater dress like Parker to impersonate him!
Green Goblin: Brilliant!!!
Doctor Octopus: But, Slater is much bigger than Parker.
Chameleon: Yes he is, so I had Slater wear Parker's camera!
Green Goblin: Brilliant!!
Doctor Octopus: The resemblance is... uncanny! But will it work at close inspection?
Chameleon: So I also have Slater wearing Risky Business sunglasses!!
Green Goblin: Ha! Briiiillliant!!!
Jack Slater: Ah'm Petah Pahkah! I weah mai sunglasses aht naiht!!
Doctor Octopus: I... I wear my sunglasses at night as well! Chameleon, I have to hand it to you, this is outstanding!
Slater: Ah'm ah repoahtah!! Haih faihv!!!
Green Goblin: Brilliant!!!
Chameleon: So now I will have Jack go, disguised as Peter Parker to do a photo shoot exposé on the hecklers!!!
Green Goblin: Brilliant!!!
Chameleon: Then I will have Slater, disguised as Parker, lure Grand High Heckler Sky into an abandoned warehouse for an interview and he will crush her!!!
Doctor Octopus: You've come through again Chameleon! Our money problems will soon be over!!!
Parker: (thinking) I've got to find a way to rescue Sky!!

The four 6" Spider-Man figures I own, movie and comic versions~ I feel the Toybiz Mcfarlane version will forever be the best of all.
Parker: April, listen, you've been super and just what I needed. I was just now feeling a bit overwhelmed by Paprihaven.
April: Paprihaven will certainly do that.
Parker: And I don't want anything... awkward... I mean... in the theater...
April: (giggles) It caught me off guard too.
Parker: Well, what I mean is... there's someone and I'm here looking for her.
April: I get that! It's fine, Peter. I guess we just have some chemistry and we saw that in the theater. But, we're friends and that's good. I can help find your girlfriend.
Parker: Thank you April! You're the best!

The residents of Old Town are as distinctive as the place. And, no place is as distinctive, or epitomizes Old Town better, than the Bijou Planks Theater.
The character of Old Town is truly revealed at night. The streets become a venue for community gathering and, center stage, its garish lights overwhelming the darkness, is the Bijou Planks.
Wonder Woman: Priestess Shiroko. It is an honor. Vice-Regent White spoke to me of your prayers to your God for my safety.
Shiroko Bokushi: You shall continue to have them. He is your God too. In Him we all live and breathe and have our being. But you must come to know Him, Princess, while the opportunity to know Him is given.
Wonder Woman: I come from a place where people call themselves gods, Priestess. I must consider all carefully.
Shiroko Bokushi: Of course, though I wish you an earnest zeal in your consideration. He tells us that if we seek Him we will find Him, if we seek Him with all our heart.
Snow White: Oh, what a lovely discussion but, Priestess, you know the Queen awaits and that Princess Diana is always open and honest in her consideration.
Shiroko Bokushi: Of course, please forgive my intrusion, Princess. I have so few opportunities to see you, I thought I should make the most of it.
Wonder Woman: Priestess, your concern for me humbles me. Again, I thank you.
Wonder Woman: As we approach the Queen, is she faring well, Vice-Regent? If the great pressure of all of this is too much we can save more unsavory discussion points for another time.
Snow White: She fares well, Princess, as always. She welcomes the opportunity to end all of this.
Batman: (thinking) I'll see how settled she is. Most of the powerhouses are absent. Just the two knights, but they're expected to be with the Queen. Where are the others and what are they up to?
It is getting late. The Bijou Planks final show of the evening is over and the lively streets of Old Town become marginally quieter as people begin heading home.
Theme Rules:
Endings are often bittersweet, and the end of A-Z 2.0 is no exception. It has been an incredible journey with so many creative and inspiring photos submitted to this doll group. Although this theme is not a letter of the alphabet, it is an opportunity for those who joined the group late and for those who simply wish the cycle wasn’t ending to create one last photo. This theme is all about showing us an "ending." Has your doll just finished watching a movie and the credits are displayed on the TV screen? Maybe your dolls are Broadway cast members and they are taking bows after the final act of their performance. Or perhaps an empty wine glass is on a table because your doll has finished her glass of rosé at an intimate dinner. How you approach this theme is entirely up to you. Just be sure we get a sense that something is ending or coming to a close in your photo.
About this photo:
I had a few ideas for this theme, but I kept circling back to the mega-powerful MARVEL villain Apocalypse. His name quite literally means "the complete final destruction of the world." I have been eyeballing this 2005 BAF figure for a few years now, and this theme finally gave me the nudge to go ahead and get him. He's such an awesome figure, and I was lucky to find him in nearly mint condition. His 14 inch frame fits pretty well into my 1:6 scale collection even though he should be a wee bit larger. Still looks cool with the others, though. But, uh, $$$ ... Totally worth it!

To say that Paprihaven's Old Town is seedy would not be fair. Nor would it be accurate to say it is clean. Old Town is best described as... "old".
A fascinating area, Old Town predates all known Paprihaven history and is equalled only by the Queen's Castle in antiquity.
Old Town has a charm all its own.

Eight ways to say I-
Dr. Octopus: My mechanical arms can reach to the back rows and deliver a charge of 750,000 volts.
...
Doctor Octopus: Now. I am here on behalf of the owner*, to announce a slight increase in the cost of Bijou Planks concessions and tickets. We assume you will be compliant and enjoy the show.
They're raising the prices??
The Planks is already kind of expensive.
This is...
Don't say it! He already threatened us!
This is...
No!
ARMED robbery!

Doctor Octopus: What an incorrigible crowd.

Buffy: Yeah... she can hear you.

Buffy: I'm sorry.
Scully: Okay, listen, Spirit got shot, but he's... walking it off. We're going to try to catch the people who got the Mayor while the trail is hot. You coming?
Undertaker: No. We need to check out this mortuary.
Buffy: Did you hear that?
Scully: *sigh* Yes, okay. Let's keep each other updated.
