So, the DC solicits for March are underwhelming to the point of utter, well, underwhelm.
But the new Babs-as-Batgirl action figure is nice.

Hey, look! Someone took the new Supergirl action figure, and made it into something cool!
We're distracted from the gross anatomy *by* the gross anatomy. Genius!
ETA:
caia: --clearly this was MADE FOR YOU.
caia: *really kind of impressed*
caia: Current!Supergirl would look MUCH better as a zombie!
karen: More interesting stories, too.
karen: Zombie!angst.
caia: Yes!
caia: She is a zombie so NO ONE LOVES HER.
karen: OBVIOUSLY that is why.

I have a confession to make: I'm not much for collecting toys.
It's probably just a case of not having met the *right toys*. I do have *one* fandom-related toy, after all -- an Alan Scott plushie which, in an impressive if very disturbing act of forshadowing, has no eyes under his mask -- and he brings me a great deal of glee. (I worry sometimes that he doesn't have anyone to relate to, however. And I think that says WAY TOO MUCH about me, so.)
One thing I've noticed, in my search for the *right toys*, is that they usually come in categories. My Alan, for example, belongs to "Characters that you wouldn't have expected to be so cuddly!" along with Lobo (srsly) and Tim. (Well, y'know. For some definitions of "Tim.")
Another category of toys that has stuck in my mind is "The QA people are just as twelve as we are, or possibly on drugs."
It includes such collector's items as:
Quite-Detailed-Crotch Poison Ivy.
Penis-Transformer Punisher.
Hands-Down-My-Pants Batman.
I'm sure there's more out there.
Sadly, I don't think they'd fit in with my "collection," such as it is. He'd... disapprove. Or maybe give a lecture. Alan seems to have *fun* doing that.

Here is something I never needed to see, and probably *you* never needed to see either: A Poison Ivy plush toy with camel-toe.
I would make fun, but I am too busy being traumatized.
(And felt you should be too. Obviously!)
ETA: Earlier, I was making comments about my Alan Scott plushie being lonely. And the thing about the Ivy figure is that her character design is *way* too similar to his Thorn's (his ex-wife) for comfort. And now I am *really* in a bad place.
And still not at all tempted to get it. Just for, uh, clarification.

Today is Earth Day, so this week's thing worthy of glee shall be thematically appropriate (as well as still not requiring a lengthy writeup, but I am sure that is simply coincidence).
When I was much younger, I was given a stuffed globe as a present, and it is still absolutely awesome.
I spent many happy hours staring at the countries, coloured in purple, green, yellow, and red. While I somehow managed to pick up *no geography whatsoever*, I did come to some basic conclusions about planar graphs long before we broached the subject in class.
(Graph theory, by the way, is also a thing that is awesome.)
The globes are made by a company called Hugg-A-Planet, as I found out by dint of looking at the tag. They've got other stuffed planets as well; however, I must warn you that the picture they have up for *my* Earth is slightly frightening. I could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure human children aren't meant to have solid black eyes. (Hugg-a-planet! Perfect for the budding galactic dominator. Give your pod-spawn an early taste of planetary possession! Doesn't break like a real planet!)
Also, for people who *really* love America. The family friendly version, at least.
