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 up that GI Joe was "kicking Ideal Toys' ass."

Classy, in a volume containing stories originally intended for children.

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!

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.

Okay, just emailed the Enterprise people. Want to find out if there is a pre-built version available.
