Venom is, by far, my favorite villain. This one is with a Spider-Man Trap Base. I think I coud have done better picking a Venom figure to buy.

Earth X Venom figure
The Earth X series from Marvel is one of my favorites. I stumbled upon this Toyfare Exclusive Earth X Venom figure at Heroes Con 08 for $1 and had to pick it up.
Dark Dominion #0 Trading Cards
In 1993 the Dark Dominion #0 comic book was released in an interesting way. As a trading card set. It’s from Defiant Comics. In addition to the 117 story cards, there are 33 character cards (with a parallel foil set, I have none of these) and a chase set of 9 cards. This Level One set has locals one one side and a portion of a battle scene on other, I have 1, 8 & 9. Also included is a Good Guys card.
A way more complete and extensive list about the set can be found here.
As a comic book it’s OK. The series lasted to Issue #10. I found them easily and they were relatively inexpensive at a comic book convention.
Onion Growth

ERTL Batmissle
This is the Batmissle from ERTL, produced in 1992 in honor of Batman Returns.
Okra and Pumpkin Seedlings
After a several sunny days and a good stiff rain the okra and pumpkins have sprouted. Hopefully they won't get nibbled on before they get big and healthy.
Blast Rock
This rock is from the excavation under VC Summer Nuclear Station Unit 2.
Halo UNSC Warthog
This #96995 UNSC Warthog is from Mega Bloks. It's part of the Metal Series. It's made to look like it's Lego but at this size I don't think any will fit. The base is two pieces and is held together by a 4×2 flat piece, with connections on all four sides.
It's priced at $10 which is a little steep. I've managed not to buy any of the action figures, vehicles or Mega Bloks sets or Mega Bloks 12″ Halo figures so far so I decided I could afford this one luxury.
Boy, just writing about it makes me want some.
There is a UNSC Scorpion #97039, Covenant Banshee #96994 as well as a few figure packs. The Warthog, and probably the Banshee, appear to be around 1:64 scale so it fit into my collection well.
Peruvian rock
I found this rock in Peru in the summer of 2011. As you can see it is almost perfectly round. It is 20 lbs of awesome.
