I succumbed to the Funko Pop Darkseid.
The chin is wrong, but, like other Pop! figures, the rest is accurate enough to use for reference. And they got the overall shape of the helmet right, which even Kirby lost over time.

has anyone seen the new Invisible Woman statue that came out last week? I
don’t even want to post a picture here. I am by no means a prude, but, why
don’t we just call it “Invisible Woman Stripper Cosplay” statue instead?

Down the LEGO pit, again. Dr. Strange’s house. From the movie, but close enough.

JB- I saw your Wonder Woman lifesize statue in the SYFY
interview.
While I understand size constraints of such a product, do
you think WW should be Amazonian in stature? 6'4"? 6'7"?

Diana has to be of a height that allows her civilian identity to work.

And we're done with the LEGO--again! Too many teeny tiny parts building up interiors that I don't think we should ever see clearly defined.*:PPPPPPP ____________________ *During times when I have flirted with working on DOCTOR STRANGE I have thought I would constantly draw the interior of the house differently. Go out of my way to show, each issue, that the entrance foyer was never the same twice. Of course, I realize I would be setting myself up for squawks from the mini-brains who wouldn't GET IT.

Distantly related, I picked up the hardcover CAPTAIN ACTION collection from IDW, strictly for the art (Gil Kane and Wally Wood).Four pages in I find an introduction telling us that GI Joe was "kicking Ideal Toys' ass." Classy, in a volume containing stories originally intended for children. sigh

My wife and I stumbled across a Lego-like system called
Jekca, and brought home a French Bulldog kit (Boston
Terriers and Frenchies are a sickness in this house - a
SICKNESS), and it looks more complicated than I expected.
It comes with a TOOL!! Anyway, I thought I was safe from
any temptation (since the Mrs is the one with the real
Boston/Frenchie disease), but the company makes a Colosseum
kit...

LEGO makes a Colosseum that tempted me until I watched a build on YouTube. SO many repeated elements! Plus an enormous footprint. Pass! LINK

Fortunately, were I to cave, and assuming I could find it
shipping from somewhere closer than the UK, the Jekca
Colosseum is only about a foot across and 6" tall:

Footprint is definitely a concern for me, as our house is
very small - only about 900 square feet.
