Name That…Random Sword

Okay, maybe it’s not so random. Actually, I wouldn’t mind having a replica of this one.

It’s an appendage, but who lost it and why is for you to decide.

Harley Quinn & Joker came out in 2014 in the DC Superheroes Imaginext line, and they both are quite interesting figures to look at.

Wonder Woman & Superman (Imaginext)

Wonder Woman & Superman (Imaginext)

A thing that has been somewhat absent from the Imaginext line is female characters, but that also seems to be changing nowadays. Case in point, the other day at the store I found a 2-pack set of figures that includes Superman and Wonder Woman.

Wasp Predator

Wasp Predator
