Toy Con!  2010!  This is the 9th Philippine Toy Con — and this is my 7th time attending, wew!

Toy Con is still my favorite convention of the year — you could either be surprised by seeing a toy you were looking for, or by the people you bump into.  Also, people kept touching my butt.  LOL

For this year, (on-a-budget), I managed to buy 5 DCUC figures — my first five.  I still have this hate/love/hate/love relationship going on with DCUC — they’re up to series 12 or 14 now, but I’m now just catching up because I refuse to pay 800+ for a single figure LOL — so here’s what I bought, all LOOSE, of course!  (all of them except for Detective Batman don’t have any accessories)

• DCUC Gotham City 5-pack Batman (the black one) – Exclusive repaint from a 5-pack.  Is exactly the same figure as Detective Batman.
• DCUC Series 1 Detective Batman – The “Neal Adams” Batman.  Comes with a grapple gun and batarang.  I’m surprised at how much I’ve grown to like him.  Classic Bats, o yeh.
• DCUC Series 3 Robin - Much, much better than the one from the Batman series.  The collar hinders neck movement a bit.  Sad without his birdarang and staff.
• DCUC Series 4 Batman Beyond Variant – Terry McGinnis!  Awesome!  Also, just in time before the new BB books come out.  A bit sad that the mask accessory isn’t here, but if I didn’t grab him, someone else would have!
• DCUC Series 7 Barry Allen Flash- Bought him simply because he’s slick.  Great paint and sharp detail!

I was actually looking for a loose Superman without a mullet (the newer one) and a coupla others, but hey — any day I come home with a new Batman toy is a good day!  Although it’s 2010 and I still don’t have a Batman figure that could crouch LOL

What’d you get?
