It is Wednesday, so I sent my dutiful husband out to the comic book store for our weeklies. To my surprise, he brought me home a gift! It's a 1:6 scale, DC Direct Deluxe Green Arrow figure.

This is the geeky equivalent of a husband bringing his wife home a box of long-stemmed roses... probably costs about the same, too. (Yikes, honey, take the price tag off next time!)

Not only am I happy with my husband (go Brian), I'm delighted to finally see a decent figure made of Green Arrow. They just produced a deluxe Black Canary, too, which I now need to track down. Until then, I better not find action figure Ollie carousing with any of my other lady action figures! (He says he's a changed man, but I dunno...)

If you're thinking about buying this fig, I highly recommend it. The sculpt is great, though I must admit that he looks a tad creepy without the mask on.

In fact, there is a striking similarity to Malfeitor, the big bad from that 1986 classic, Witchboard. See what I mean?


Eek! I'll have to put the mask on him before I go to sleep tonight.

Sidebar: I was trying to track down a picture of Malfeitor to show you guys and I discovered that there is now a death metal band called Malfeitor. So, let that be a lesson to you kids. If you're seeking inspiration when naming your death metal band, look to a Tawny Kitaen film. Works every time.
