ETERNIAN PALACE GUARDS
Check out these "new" figures of the ETERNIAN PALACE GUARDS by Mattel (via Collector's Club). They were available in a 2-pack which included 4 different interchangeable heads, so you could potentially have 4 different guards (upon buying 2 sets).
I've always dug MAN-AT-ARMS' design, so these dudes would look sweet standing alongside/behind him. However, I'm none-too-keen on the symmetrical armor pieces. A commenter on Poeghosta, De-Man, posted:"I’m not sure, but I think Man-at-Arms only having armor on one side WAS a design choice. It was Filmation that gave him armor on both sides. They did it so they could switch the animation cells left or right, to save money".Interesting, if true. Anyway, these badboys were available on the MattyCollector website, but are now unfortunately SOLD OUT. Boo. Here are some more pics:
MEET OUR NEW SUPERMAN
HENRY CAVILL(of "The Tudors")
I've never seen The Tudors, nor anything else he's been in. But based solely on visuals, I don't hate this casting. He could work! I'm going to keep an open mind and optimistic outlook.
And to answer the question all my fellow nerds are asking:
He's 6' 1"

FULLY JOINTED PLAY FIGURES
JimSmash Readers KIM & ISAAC are a dynamic Father-&-Son TOY-ADDICTED Duo, who run a sweet blog called "FULLY JOINTED PLAY FIGURES". There you can see pics of their Toy Hunting Exploits and become super jealous!Kim states on the main page:
"My son and I are addicted. We spend most of our time either hunting, buying or playing with them. In our continuous effort to spread our love for what others sometimes cheaply call toys, here's our blog where we will post almost anything and everything related to these Fully Jointed Play Figures. Hope you'll have just as much fun as the both of us! Enjoy."Click HERE!
Here are but a few super-sweet pics I found on Fully Jointed Play Figures:
