Dante's Inferno Room

The Funko Pop Town full size and mini Dante's Inferno Room.  The big one would work for figures as large as heroic 28mm and the small one for figures as small as 15mm, at least in my opinion.
Now add a few spooky trees and a couple cars.
Boot Hill, and the Munster Mobile.
Michael Myers from Halloween out for a night on the town.
A nice little car for  the Black Widow.  Beetlejuice in the doorwar.
A little lower angle.
Michael on the roof.
 

Formula I Cars

As part of my American and European cities project I am doing auto racing.
I particularly like drag racing, stock car racing, figure 8 racing, Indy racing and Formula I racing.
This is a very nice set. all the cars are essentially identical but the paint jobs.
The big draw on this is the cars are painted extremely well.
Nice graphics.
Lots of colors.
Nice fine markings.
Very good models.
The bottom is interesting too.

Santa

In the Batman TV show, the Duo is Slumming episode, Andy Devine appears in character as Santa Claus.  Santie Claus as he pronounces it.
So that makes Santa Claus a Batman character.
I am building a small Santa's Village for my American Cities project.  Often large cities just outside of town in the forest would have an amusement park, or tourist destination with a Santa Claus and sort of secular Christmas theme.
They typically had a few small rides for the kiddies, a petting zoo, restaurant, and shops, lots of shops.  And of course Santa Claus.
This little resin building came from Hobby Lobby, it lights up.  It's actually for Valentines Day, but the gingerbread house motif works for Christmas too.
Shown here with my Dollar General on sale Christmas tree.
Race wants a hydrofoil for Christmas.
This little train is also from Dollar General over the last couple years I got several of them.  It consists of one locomotive, one box car and a small circle of track.  I got a bunch of them so my loco motive could pull a few cars.  The surplus locomotives will be repurposed as stationary steam engines in factories, or in small steamers.
The Wooden Soldiers are also from some dollar store a few years ago, they are Christmas tree decorations.
Santa needs a whole army of toy soldiers because, why not?

Christmas Tree and a House

Christmas stuff is pretty cheap in April.
I got this 1/2 off at Dollar General.  It's glass but feels more like resin.
It's a jar.
It matches Race's shirt nicely.
Valentines Day gifts are also cheaper in April too.
I got a little house at Hobby Lobby.
The inside lights up.  I don't usually care about that and often remove and recycle the batteries.
Like the Christmas tree it matches Race Bannons shirt.  I am building a little Santa's Village.
