Underroos are back and they are for adults

If you grew up in the late 1970's or early 1980's then I am pretty sure that at one point in your childhood you wore underroos. Whether it was Superman, Batman, Spidey or Captain America you put them on under your clothes and felt like the superhero you were. It may have been 30 plus years since you have done that but do not fear underroos are back and they are being made for adults.

You can find them at Hot Topic or online at some other retail outlets. I got Superman for christmas. They are being made for men and women ( think Wonder Women or Bat girl and Harley Quinn).

My advice to out and get a set, it's like being twelve again. Relive your childhood.

Good luck on your hunt!

DC Scribblenauts Series 5

The Scribblenauts continue with series 5. It continues to amaze at the number of  DC characters that are being included in the figure series. Series 5 is no different,  the World's Greatest Superheroes and Villains in Scribblenauts style. 

Series 4 contains  8 different 2 1/4-inch tall mini-figures (some rarer than others), including Swamp Thing, Harley Quinn, Deathstroke, John Stewart Green Lantern, Alloy, Gold Flash and more! 

Fans should be happy that Swamp Things is getting some love. His title is being canceled in April, his last figure which was supposed to be in the Medicom Line was canceled. He was also supposed to be in series 4 of Scribblenauts but got pushed back to series 5, fingers crossed.

Good luck on your hunt!

More DC Comic Halloween/Horror Variants

Last month we gave a preview of the DC Comics October Halloween/Horror cover variants.  Below are the rest of the covers that will be hitting shelves throughout the scariest month of the year.
Hope that you can hunt all of these variant covers down.
You can view last months Halloween/Horror Variants post to see all the covers.

Detective Comics #35

Earth 2 #27

The Flash #35

Green Lantern Corps #35

 

Green Lantern #35

 

Harley Quinn #11







Justice League Dark #35



Justice League United #5



New Teen Titans #3

Sinestro #6

Superman/Wonder Woman #12

 



Some tips on how to get these variants, first ask your local comic shop to hold the one you want for you. Remember these come in much smaller quantities then the regular covers, usually 1 for 25. If you cant get it their check at other local shops. There is one near me in New Jersey that gets tons of variants each month.  If that doesn't work there is always online.
I will be trying to grab the Flash and Green Lantern Corps, like that Black Lantern reference.

Good Luck on Your Variant Hunt!
