"Frankly My Dear, I Don't Give A Damn."




















Just waiting on those Jessica Jones and Blade figures to show up and then finally, I'll my very own Man-Thing...Shut up you!

Now the Punisher figure you saw was not standard issue. Nope, it's kit-bashed.

Kit-bashing is the now common practice of customizing your action figures by swapping out body form other figures to modify or create new ones.

It's really an old practice, and something I used to do myself on the reg with my 3 inch GI Joes. Yeah the rubber band used to always snap after playing them and then I'd have my mom fix 'em, usually by replacing the old rubber-band with an "O" ring. Eventually I just learned to do it myself, which got me into Frankenstein-ing the fuck out of them for my own amusement.

Anyway, I popped the head and hands off the recent ML Walgreens exclusive Jim Lee Punisher w/the bandanna head, and put them on the recent Netflix Man-Thing BAF Wave Punisher figure.

So, Who Would Win?: Elektra VS. Lady Shiva

TGIT!!!!!



For this week's edition of So, Who Would Win? I'm pitting two of the comic world's deadliest female assassins against each other in a fight to the death in order to determine who's the best out of the two.

Hey, who wouldn't want to see a battle between these two legendary femme fatales am I right?

On one hand you have Frank Miller's Elektra, one of the best female fighters out there ever...


...and on the other, the equally deadly and dangerous Lady Shiva.

Shiva's so deadly and both equally feared and respected, that when Batman recovered form his broken back at the hands of Bane, he chose Shiva to re-train him to get back in Batman-fighting shape.

Let's look at the stats and compare the two shall we?

Elektra:
AbilitiesPhysical attributes enhanced to peak of human potential
Master martial artist
Low-level mind control and telepathic communication
Expert with various types of weaponry, particularly her trademark twin sai


Lady Shiva:
Abilities
  • Martial arts Grandmaster
  • Able to read body language and anticipate an opponent's actions


Disregarding that whole low-level telepath thing, both of these dangerous women pretty evenly matched in terms of being highly trained and proficient killers.

It would be REALLY interesting to see who comes out on top considering the pedigree of fighter they both are.

So,


Elektra










VS.

Lady Shiva










Who wins and why?

Welp, my birthday is tomorrow, and that means my old is turning 36 this year. Like most people these days, I have absolutely NO idea were the time's gone. I swear at times it only seems like yesterday I was in elementary school playing my with pogs and trading Marvel cards...God I miss the 90's sometimes....

Anyhoo, I hope you guys out there have a good weekend.
Smell you later...

"Closing time. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here."

Well..... I kinda always knew this day would come, and it sure has. It's been a hell of a ride, but it's time to for it end. Ti...
