Pre-ordering this Elin is anything but a TERAble idea
TERA is a game that deserved a lot more than it got, both from players and publisher alike. But, before I get into a rant about that, let's take a look at Arcadia's lovely upcoming Elin Elementalist. We've seen her before, and now she's available to get your paws on--or at least to pre-order. Sadly she won't be gracing shelves until May, which is a long time to wait for a figure this lovely.
It's no secret that Elin ended up an extremely controversial topic, mostly for the proactive rather than reactive stance from En Masse in the first place, so it's easy to guess that reception to a very un-American version of these little foxes might be a bit mixed.
Personally, I love her, and I'd really like to get my hands on her. The pose is gorgeously dynamic, and the texturing and coloring are very vivid and well done. She's quite sizable as well, about 11" tall--which, as expected, comes with the hefty price tag of around ¥12,800. Even the most die-hard of fans such as myself might have a few qualms about that kind of dough.

Mattel to add Vampire Batman to DCU line
The Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex has photos of Mattel's upcoming DC Universe vampire Batman as well as a New 52 Darkseid photo that would seem to confirm Big Bad Toy Store's earlier image as being correct.
As much as I like that we'll be getting a vampiric Batman, I really have to question Mattel's thought process. Poison Ivy, one of the most quintessential Batman rogues (who has appeared in numerous Batman cartoons, games, and even a movie!), is relegated to an online selection yet another dubious Batman variation will be making its way to retail. While I understand that it's essential to have versions of Batman available at all times, a vampire Batman is still an odd (albeit cool) choice.
Vampire Batman seems to recycle bits from other skinny, tall molds. However, this is the first time we've seen those wings and the head-sculpt is also brand-new. I'd like to say that I won't be buying yet another version of Batman but I find this one rather tempting. Interestingly enough, he's listed in the story as being a part of the DC Unlimited line rather than the Batman Unlimited line although I expect that it's probably a mistake.
The New 52 Darkseid had been leaked last November, but this photo is the first official image of the figure. That said, the design is identical to the one we've already seen so anybody hoping for a re-tool is out of luck. Darkseid features a very top-heavy design and seems to incorporate bits from Mattel's Masters of the Universe Classics line. Despite its shortcomings, Mattel's New 52 Darkseid may still warrant a pick-up.
At any rate, the big question that I imagine will be on most of your minds is what outlandish Batman tweak that we may see next. Pirate Batman? Cave Batman? Cowboy Batman? Possibly a Batman pretender like the Jason Todd Batman or the Two-Face Batman? How about Batzarro? The possibilities are endless.

MY BIG Winter Floral Arrangement and Snowman Scene
I know I've told you many times how much I love decorating with BIG floral arrangements and BIG dolls.
And, I know I've mentioned that I like to change the decorations in my dining room fireplace for the different seasons or holidays. Well, I decided this year that it was time to create a big floral arrangement to cover the winter season.
Plus, I had a terrific coupon from Michaels for my entire purchase including the sale items so, of course, I had to put that to good use. So, off I went to Michaels last week.
I already had a large ceramic pot that had been given to us as a gift one Christmas by my younger brother and sister-in-law that I wanted to use so I didn't have to buy that. And, I knew I wanted the colors to be dark blues, burgundy and white along with some greens.
To my delight Michaels had what I wanted. So I checked out and came home.
Unfortunately it was a little too cold for me to work in the basement when I got home so I had to wait a few days before I could put my arrangement together.
It took me about 1 1/2 hours to put my arrangement together. It stands about 3 feet tall and is about 2 1/2 feet wide and fills up the dinning room fireplace nicely.
I decided to add three of my 2 1/2 feet to 3 feet tall snowmen to my scene this year as well as adding a little snowman I had made years before who sits on a woodland bear plant stand my sister had given me years ago. He looks perfect on he plant stand so I let him sit there every winter.
The snowman on the wood chair is my own Snow Go Noodles design. His e-pattern is HERE.
I like how the snowman scene came out. Hope you do, too.

Custom Lego Mega Man and friends stare into your soul
At this point in time, almost any news about the Blue Bomber is good news, even when it's in the form of custom made fan projects that you'll never actually own yourself--so really, no different than Legends 3, am I right?
Moving on, Flickr user Bruce Lowell has crafted Mega Man himself, along with brother Proto, classic robot masters, and the good evil doctor himself, Dr. Wily. They've certainly got a unique look about them, mixing traditional super-deformed stylings with a more Western cartoony flair. They are definitely appealing though, even with those crazy, dead eyes, and Bruce did a good job making all of the characters unmistakable.
Hop on over to his gallery for a closer look while you keep praying for Capcom to remember these characters actually exist.
