Selenites

Here is a Selenite from First Men in the Moon.
He started off as a little bug from the dollar store.
About 30 years ago I got a couple bags of about 100 of these.
Long term planning is essential in this hobby.
Now I am finally using them.

Moon Cow

In the book and movie, First Men in the Moon, by HG Wells the men discover a large caterpillar creature.
I discovered this one at Dollar General.
It's pretty plain and more a worn then a caterpillar but in my universe this the moon cow.
He looks like he needs a happy face drawn on the head.  I probably won't do that.
It's a very big creature, probably work fine for 1/72nd scale, 60mm and maybe even GI Joe.
Batman in 1/72nd scale.

The tail looks just like the middle.

Moon cow and Selenite.

Dune Buggy

I like the paint job on this car, and the eyes in the tires look like a cat.
Since I don't do Deadpool, I think I may reassign this car.
And give it to Catwoman.
The original dune buggy was the Meyers Manx and that is a cat name.
Joker is fond of surfing and Catwoman has worked with him in the past so this could be a good car for her.

Deadpool Dune Buggy

This is a Deadpool Hot Wheels.
The motif is supposed to be related to that super hero.
I doubt that he ever actually appeared in a dune buggy because Hot Wheels often takes otherwise stock cars and paints them up for a comic book character.
Nearly all of my Super Hero collection stops at about 1980, and few or no new characters after that.
That 50 year history is really enough for me.
But this is a cool car and so I got one.
