Marvel Legends Netflix Elektra Action Figure

Star-crossed lovers

The Marvel Legends Netflix Elektra Action Figure is a must have if you are a fan of the series - except for one major flaw. 

We always thought that Netflix's vision and execution of Elektra was pretty spot on - except for the fact that Elodie Yung is not Greek (At least she's Asian). Not that Elektra had to be Greek in the Netflix universe given that she was adopted. We felt that Elodie provided the perfect blend of mystery, sultriness and... chaos... that is at the essence of the character.

If we ever met her, yes we'd fall for her, but we know she'd be the death of us as well.

Marvel Legends Netflix Daredevil Action Figure

I know what I am...
Who I am....
And I am not afraid.

To say that the Marvel Legends Netflix Daredevil Action Figure looks good, is an under-statement. 

He looks frickin awesome!

Personally we really didn't hate Affleck's Daredevil, but Charlie Cox's Daredevil has something that Affleck's Daredevil does not have - a suit of armor.

We think that the idea that Daredevil made his suit out of bondage gear.... plausible... but SERIOUSLY!!!

Netflix's idea of Daredevil going out in nothing but a black sweater and jeans til he found the Kingpin's armorer - Melvin Potter AKA Gladiator - is far more romantic and believable - especially since bondage cat-suits really don't provide any protection at all. (And squeak a lot)

New 52 Batgirl

Presenting the New 52 Batgirl from DC Comics.

We should enjoy her while we can because if the rumors about DC Convergence are true, then we might not see Barbara Gordon as Batgirl - or even walking - again for quite a while.

Anyway, to the uninitiated, this is Barbara Gordon, Commissioner Jim Gordon's daughter, back as Batgirl in the New 52 Universe.

In the New 52 Universe, the Killing Joke story-line that reduced Batgirl to a wheelchair where she became the near omniscient, cyber-bsed crime fighting database of knowledge and constant voice in the ear of Batman - and most of the Justice League: Oracle.

Batgirl one of comicdom's politically more polarizing characters as she can be used both as a bane and a boon for the feminist movement - which can basically be summed up as: "She can do anything Batman can do and she's not in love with him, she's her own woman; but she was sidelined for years after she was shot through the spine - whereas Batman was back after a year - and she's called 'girl.'
