Super Sharp
This past weekend while I set up at Canadian Toycon, my son made a comment about what he hoped to find and how I’ll probably go home with nothing, as usual. This is usually the case, as I’m pretty much into oddball things while he loves that unsold Star Wars prequel merchandise, toy shows are pretty much his oyster.

Above is Batman and below is Wonder Woman in although that’s pretty obvious, I don’t know how many they made in this set as they’re made later than the ones I remember but I look forward to finding out….
