This week's merchandise feature is the Lizard statue, this is another masterpiece coming from Bowen Designs. This statue stand over twelve inches tall and is limited to a thousand pieces worldwide. It also comes fully painted and ready to display. Everything about this statue screams "buy me" (well it does to me lol). Awesome sculpt, the tail being one of his best features.

The Lizard character was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in Amazing Spider-Man #6 in 1963.

 

No direction, no purpose, that was the non-life of Him later to be known as Adam Warlock.

Born as an artificially-created human, and powered with the Soul Gem thanks to a run with the Infinity Gauntlet, Adam Warlock is looking prime to claim the championship in the staring competition.

Stylistically, like wearing sunglasses on the inside of a closet, Warlock chooses to play his matches with slices of mascara beneath and around his eyes. His defence is that black makes it easier for his staring competitors while he has to endure their plain faces.

Out of focus, those looking too long into his eyes have reported being beset with blurry vision afterwards.

 

Strutting it out on the front cover of The Daily Bugle Thomas Hayden Church flaunts his arms as Flint Marko, better known in the comics as Sandman. Sandman, a man made entirely out of sand and forever stuck with one outfit.

Living almost all of his criminal life with jockeys full of silica and prenatal glass, the wear and tear makes for easier accommodation of grains. Ordinary folk aren't in such a position. Some might actually like that feeling of eternal "beachness" inside their clothes. Others, not as much.

Through the ringer - dump the clothes into the washing machine. Hopefully with the appearance of water, the sand will rejoice and return to swimming in the liquid. If nothing else, that rank seaweed smell will be lesser for the ordeal of sand pitting the Westinghouse.

Vacuuming - take to a mighty bowling ball sucker and rack up a bag - or cylinder for the bagless - full of C and D grade sand. Perfect for adding that extra weird roughage to any meal.

Abstinence - best bet in not taking a crack full of sand is to stay away from the sand pit and the beach in general. Teeming with grains of sand the beaches be. Only the fool hardy venture into the sea with no regard for the dangers of rubbing blind an eye full of sand.

 

One month remains until the Australians of all the states and territories brace again to ignore the US celebrated festivities to befall on Halloween. Brace now though, for the school holidays. The children! The children!

Spring has sprung and the weather's getting something done. Warm and balmy up for the summer season, the air is getting a little thicker with the crispness and a little lighter in the gloom. With all this in mind, there are a wandering few still walking in the winter mode.

Full-length clothing can be a problem. Worse still when that costume or uniform covers head-to-toe. Generally there is no escaping the climbing thermometer in such suits. Generally...

• Crack the trap door - like the long johns of the wooly west, nothing beats ventilation like a hole out the back door. Also may come in handy with bowel movements


• Brad Pitt - for those too modest to walk around flapping in the winds, slit those pits and watch the treacle run down the sides.


• Install a cooling fan - good for computers, good for you. Just drop a small circular fan with it's own cage and feel the stale air just circulate endlessly.

Though why with a full body suit as opposed to body paint...
