    Atom came in! (And Aquaman)

    I just received Atom and a replacement Aquaman in the mail!

    ATOM FIGURE REVIEW:
    He's okay, his head is kinda wobbly but thankfully his "collar" prevents it from really shakin'. Wasn't too keen on the collar at first but I'm used to it now. The only part I don't like is that his forearms are covered in this hard plastic that I had to get my dad to remove.

    Aquaman on the other hand... as much as it's nice to have Aquaman again, his head is so wobbly to the point I fear it might pop off. I specifically asked FTC not to make their heads wobble. Guess they don't listen.

    These are the last figures I'll get until Christmas; I can't wait until then!

    (And I just remembered that Atom and Aquaman were the main characters in a certain Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode I hate. Why? Because they went inside Batman instead of Black Lightning. As much as a classic episode it was, not everyone's insides are for everyone.)

          No, the plastic wrapping that was on the forearm. I tucked the sleeve into the glove and it's not falling off.

          Also, I'm non-binary (unless you were referring to my dad.)

            I am glad to hear Atom and Aquaman arrived! What figures are you hoping to get for Christmas?

              Space Ghost, most of the Legion of Doom, Falcon 7, maybe the Galaxy Trio (if Gravity Girl is made in time.) I already have The Riddler from last Christmas (he came in the fourteen figure deal I got.)

                          Action Figure Fixer Upper Bands.jpg I have a possible solution for the Bobble Head Syndrome for your figures. In the hair section at WalMart, I found and I use small transparent rubber bands to put in the necks. All you need is one at minimum or two to three tops. Place them over the head and down the face and push them into the neck area. That will tighten the heads. But only use the smallest ones at the top. The larger ones may be too big unless you have any FTC 12 inch figures. I also used the small transparent rubber bands to keep glasses in place and to prevent the molded gloves and oven mitts from falling off. The're easily affordable and they can be found in the hair accessories at WalMart. Good luck. Action Figure Fixer Upper Bands.jpg

                              or maybe FTC needs to correct the problem.
