Literary Fever

Because I often enjoy the agony and drawn out suspense of anticipating book/comic/statue releases, I am happy to announce that two books I need are coming out soon.
The first is Skulduggery Pleasant: The Death Bringer.

Whoop. Freakin' Whoop. I love this series! Yes, I do feel sort of bad when I walk into a book store to purchase it and find it in the youth if not children's section... but then I realise that it's a great book and children have great taste. Sometimes. Sometimes I cry when I watch children's programming. It's pretty crap and badly drawn compared to the awesome stuff we had. Poor bastards. *sniff*

We Need To Work On Our Math Debating!!

Well, what a week so far. My pre-order of the Women of the DC Universe series 3 Harley Quinn bust finally arrived so that was great. It's designed by Amanda Connor and depicts Harley on a deck of cards base looking quite evil while devouring a Joker lollipop. Because the actual title of this model is such a mouthful, I've been referring to this part of my collection simply as 'Puddin' Pop Harley'.

The little details by sculptor Jim Maddox are really quite nice to look at. One side of the deck she's standing on is defaced, but not to the extreme so it would be possible to overlook that at first glance. The pom-poms on her neck piece and liliripes are pock marked like little golf balls, giving the impression that they would be fluffy to the touch. Obviously they aren't but it is an area that most Harley statues don't bother with so the attention to detail pleased me.
