My boss is a big comic book fan. He’s also a sucker for tchotchkes: our office is so full of poseable action figure and ceramic statues and toy AT-ATs and such that it looks like Romper Room. Needless to say the combination of fanboyhood and disposable income leads to some intereting purchases, and Lord have mercy, the boss man has the gayest assortment of comic-hero action figures known to man. We’re talking glasses-wearing Tim Hunter from The Books of Magic, gothy Morpheus from Sandman, leather-wearing James Marsden replica Cyclops from the X2 movie toy line, black-spandex clad Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, and Superboy’s friend Mon-El. He’s just a Robin and an Aqualad shy of being able to accurately recreate the back room of the Metropolis franchise of the Cock.
