Hawkeye and Scarlett Witch

So, it turns out I was wrong. Natasha, Clint and the Skrull Soldier action figures are all out. I managed to find Hawkeye at Target but no Black Widow yet...

Also, where's the SHIELD love? Maria Hill and Phillip J. Coulson?

Anyway, Hawkeye is awesome. I haven't seen biceps that huge on an action figure since my brother's GI Joe figures.

They also have more Avengers books out. One is an Easy to Read book with sounds. However, not only does it only have the main four, it tells Thor's story without mentioning that he has a brother!!!!!

whatever

I do love the Seek and Find book. It has everyone, even Ghost Rider and Magneto. On the front, it has Natasha and Clint...less than an inch from each other.

Me: Look, they always have to be together.
Mom: Hmm...

I was also showing her the DC action figures especially the archers. When I showed her Artemis, she joked, "Green Arrow?"

"No, but there is a DC character with that name."

Mom looked totally horrified that her joke answer was real.

Scarlett Witch

Between the Cellist rumors and The Super Hero Squad Show, I've been falling for Scarlett Witch.

She's awesome...
and nearly impossible to find.

However, we do have this awesome antiques store in town, B's Antiques. Actually, it's the ONLY store antiques store in town but it does have a vendor who does comic stuff. They have two baskets full of buttons from 1985. I got a funny one with Thor, one with Hawkeye and one with Scarlett Witch. Yay!

They also had a numbered Loki figure/sculpture/whatever you call it.

Aren't parents supposed to encourage you NOT to spend money?

My Mom: You should ask how much it is.

Me: It's numbered and 15 years old.

My Mom: It's probably not that much.

Me: Where would I even put it?

I resisted, but I want to go back and get more pins. It's also amusing how well she's learned the different Avengers by sight but my mom has forgotten most of the X-Men.

The Cuddles Deatchmatch...

is almost here.

Didn't I tell you like three weeks ago that the BBCA poll would come down to Tom vs. Benedict?

Since Wednesday is a holiday, voting is extended to Thursday and either late Thursday or on Friday, we'll have the final showdown.
