Toy Corner: DC Comics Bombshells Bumblebee Statue

I really want this Bombshells Bumblebee statue, isn't it cool? It's also a little pricey at $124.95 but if the quality is as good as it looks here, I'm definitely leaning towards buying it. For anyone who is interested, it's not available now but you can pre-order it.

On a side note, I'm so proud of the Bombshells comic book series, it's a fan favorite.

365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #202: DC Bombshells vol #2

I think it's wonderful when writers try something different and DC Bombshells giving readers an interesting take on the DC Universe. Set during World War II, this series features a mainly all-female cast of characters.

I hope this turns out to be the cover art because this looks great.

I like it, it's different and very eye catching. The sizes for both the top and bottom are available in XS to XXL.

New Book Purchase: DC Comics: Bombshells vol #1, Spider-Men and Ultimate Comics Spider-Man

No, I didn't buy these books today, these are the books that ended my book buying break. They arrived sometime last week but I've been so busy that I didn't have any time take any pictures.

DC Comics: Bombshells is a series I've seen non-stop good reviews about, definitely can't wait to read that. Now for Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, I have read a few issues from the series but that was not going to cut it. I wanted to read the series from the first page to the last.

365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #6: DC Bombshells vol #1

I have been hearing a lot of good things about the DC Bombshells series and since every time I go to the comic book store and find all the issues sold out. I figured I would just wait to pick it up in the trade edition.

It's almost hard to believe that this comic book was created because fans liked the variant covers the characters were featured on as well as the statue that were made of them. I wonder if Lois Lane and Vixen are in this series? If not I hope they will be add on at some point. Either way, I guess I have to wait and see.

Lois Lane Friday: DC Comics, Where Is the Official Lois Lane Merchandise?

For a character that has been around for 77 years why does Lois Lane have such a minimal amount of official merchandise? Love her or hate her, Lois Lane is an iconic character and yet DC Comics continues to ignore fans clamoring for more Lois merchandise.

Why is there no Lois Lane T-shirts, tote bags, Funko dolls, etc. found in stores? Just do a quick search on the DC Comics official store website and see the small amount of items available for her. There are some Lois DC Comics licensed products available on Zazzle (zazzle.com) but the products are average with most items showcasing old and out of date images for the character.

When Man of Steel was released in 2013, there was a large number of merchandise for the film but hardly any of it featured Lois Lane. So, it was surprising that there was actually a Lego figure created for her.

My feelings aside for that movie, it was truly a highly anticipated film that received a lot of publicity. DC Comics and Warner Bros. created a good marketing plan to get that movie promoted yet they some how dropped the ball in creating promotional products for Lois who was one of the main characters in the movie. Why was there no Lois action figure? Um, yet Jor-El got one. There was also no Funko Man of Steel: Lois Lane, yet General Zod got one. The point I'm trying to make is they went through all the effort to make and license these products but didn't bother to think about creating any for Lois.

At least with the release of Superman Returns (2006) there was a DC Comics prequel comic book miniseries with Lois headlining one out of the four issues and a special Lois Lane Barbie doll was also created.

There also wasn't any merchandise that coincided with this year's release of the book Lois Lane: Fallout by Gwenda Bond. This book was released early due to high demand, now that's saying something doesn't it. Now with a sequel scheduled to be published next year, do you think DC Comics will have any products available for it?

Another item that was released ahead of schedule is the DC Comics Bombshells Lois Lane Statue (see below). It was tentatively scheduled to be released at the end of the month but has been released early yet again due to the high demand. Doesn't it stand to reckon, if there is such a demand for a $124.99 statue that fans are willing to purchase more quality items that feature Lois Lane?

I find it funny that there is not a lot of official items available for Lois but there is quite a bit of unofficial stuff out there. I guess fans are tired of waiting for DC Comics and have created their own.

For a character of Lois Lane's stature shouldn't more merchandise be available to fans?

Wish List Wednesday: Crazy Rich Asians and a Lois Lane Statue

My cousin recommended this book to me, she said she couldn't stop laughing at this story. Which is great, since I'm always looking for a funny book to read.


Book: Crazy Rich Asians (Crazy Rich Asians book #1) by Kevin Kwan

Description:

When New Yorker Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home and quality time with the man she hopes to marry. But Nick has failed to give his girlfriend a few key details. One, that his childhood home looks like a palace; two, that he grew up riding in more private planes than cars; and three, that he just happens to be the country’s most eligible bachelor.

On Nick’s arm, Rachel may as well have a target on her back the second she steps off the plane, and soon, her relaxed vacation turns into an obstacle course of old money, new money, nosy relatives, and scheming social climbers.

Okay, how could I not want this statue, it's Lois Lane. I can just see this sitting on my desk or bookcase, yeah I so totally want this. I enlarged the picture so you can see all the little details, look at how awesome this little statue is. I'm definitely going to save up to get this because at some point I do plan on buying this.
