DC Multiverse World Builders Wave 1 Batman vs Solomon Grundy

Today I opened my first DC Multiverse World Builder pack. It included Solomon Grundy and an Arkham City Batman in his Year One costume.

Solomon Grundy towers over Batman just like he does in the game.

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Arkham City Armored Edition Batman Figure

I've had this since I posted the rest of the Wave 1 figures, but for some reason never photographed it.

The figure is the same figure from Wave 1, with a few changes, mainly paint. Technically, it really is the same thing, just an updated version of the Arkham City Batman for the Wii U version.

Marvel Universe Wave 24 Black Knight

Full disclosure, I know virtually nothing about the Black Knight, that being said, I'm going to have a lot of fun with him.

How Much of Marvel's Cinematic Universe Phase 2 Success is from Avengers?

I've read the phrase "Avengers bump" quite a few times since Iron Man 3 came out. This is pretty much just the idea that Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier all did better at the box office because of the success of Avengers. It's very possible these films would have done the same without Avengers, but unlikely. Are other comic book movies getting "bumps" from Avengers without even being involved?

First of all, let's take a look at the Iron Man series. Iron Man is definitely Marvel Cinematic Universe's most popular and successful character.

Iron Man (2008)

Total Domestic Gross: $318 million
Opening Week: $123 million

38.68% of total gross

Second Week: $64 million

-47.5%

Iron Man 2 (2010)

Total Domestic Gross: $312 million
Opening Week: $159 million

60% of total gross

Second Week: $65 million

-58.8%

Iron Man 3 (2013)

Total Domestic Gross: $409 million
Opening Week: $212 million

51.83% of total gross

Second Week: $89 million

-57.9%

Totals and Averages

Total Domestic Gross: $1039 million

$346.33 per film

Average Second Week Drop: 54.73%
Pre-Avengers (Average): $315
Post Avengers Gross: $409

Avengers Infinite Series Wave 1 Iron Man

I took all these pictures way back when I did the other Avengers Infinite figures, but for some reason never got around to posting them.

Marvel Universe Modern Age Avengers Team Pack Iron Man

If it looks familiar, it is, just like Captain America from this wave, this is a figure we've had a few times in the past.

Marvel Universe Modern Age Avengers Team Pack Thor
Marvel Universe Modern Age Avengers Team Pack Red Hulk

Robocop Series Silver Robocop

Robocop Series Black Robocop

Not a whole lot to say, it's a pretty basic Iron Man figure.

Marvel Universe Classic Avengers Team Pack

Avengers Infinite Wave 1 Hulk

Iron Man 2 Series Hulkbuster

Marvel Universe Ultron

Spider-Man Series Rhino

It's an okay figure. I wouldn't have gotten it if I hadn't found a deal on a set of the whole first wave. I guess multiple Iron Man suits isn't a bad thing.

Avengers Infinite Series Wave 1 Captain America

Today my theatre received our copy of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The film was labeled "Freezer Burn", which is hilarious.

Anyone, here's the newest Captain America in 1/18 scale.

This figure is in the Avengers Infinite line, but if it looks familiar, that's because it is. It's the same as the last Captain America figure released in the Marvel Universe toy line, but I never got one of those, so I'm happy with this one.

Marvel Universe Greatest Battles Captain America

Here is the Captain America figure from the Greatest Battles Two Pack packaged with Wolverine.

My only real preference on the previous figure was the straps on the shield. They helped keep the shield on, and I could attach it to his back easily.
