Mail Call For 5.23.23

A few different items arrived today, only one of which I was actually expecting.

We’ll get to that one in a bit, but let’s take a look at what arrived first.

A few weeks back I picked up the first issue of latest volume of Money Shot just because I liked the cover, but noted that I intended to tradewait on it as I had for the other volumes.

At that time, I thought there were only two previous volumes, but it turns out that I’d missed the money shot. The third volume of it, anyway.

So, I fixed that.

Money Shot TP #3

Last week I said of Superman #4:

No complaints here. Just solid, straightforward super-action, with beautiful art. Okay, one complaint – my shop didn’t have the Ramona Fradon variant cover. (Look for it in a future Mail Call)

The Pull List For 5.17.23

That future Mail Call has arrived:

Superman Vol. 6 #4F
Ramona Fradon & Sandra Hope Incentive Variant

Finally, the one thing I was expecting isn’t a comic, though it is comics-related.

I had missed seeing that this was available for preorder until I saw an unboxing video on the Sideshow YouTube channel, at which point I decided I should preorder it, especially since I knew I wouldn’t have long to wait given that they’d already done an unboxing video. (I was right; it took under a month.)

Anyway, here’s my 1/6th scale Marvel Studios Black Widow Yelena figure from Hot Toys:

And here she is with her sister Natasha.

And Natasha

And Natasha.

And Natasha.

And Natasha.

And Natasha.

And Natasha.

And Natasha.

And Natasha.
