Fractal Dreams

Yep. You guessed it right! It’s another “whining” article.

Now that school’s almost out (be it I graduate or not, hehehe), I realize money isn’t going to be easy to come by these next few weeks. As embarrassing to admit, I live on lunch money *cough, cough* and I sometimes go on wild episodes of penny-pinching. But now that vacation’s coming, so no more money. Boo-hoo.

Bad thing is, I’m now one of the victims of this sudden-spreading epidemic called the “Must-Have-DC” (or MHDC) disease. Symptoms of this include uncontrollable urge to find and buy DC Universe action figures. Funny thing is I seemed to be cured of my other disease, the “Must-Have-ML” (or MHML) sickness. Strange. But whatever the reason is, I want DC figures so badly, and Mattel has released DC Universe wave 2 to sate my zombie hunger.

Problem is, Mattel is such a tightwad when it comes to distributing, and their piles of DC-goodness came in such small amounts, that it barely reached store shelves. Those that do reach the stores are gobbled up by those slobbering victims of the “MHDC” virus.

So I’m depressed. One: DCUs are soooo rare. Two: I have no money. So Depressed.

By this point, I figure most of you are probably laughing, and whatever prospect I have of getting a girlfriend has gone down the drain. Whatever. I don’t care. I feel like whining now, so here it is:

WHY, MATTEL? WHY? WHY DO YOU HURT ME SO? ~whew.

Anyway, my hunt for those DCUs hasn’t been totally fruitless. So far I’ve nabbed figures from the line’s older brother DC Superheroes: Darkseid and Bizarro, (2 figs in a span of 2 days, that’s why I have no money) and one from their distant cousin: DC Direct Armory Batman. I also found an old store near my usual haunts that was opened again, so I have new figures on my hit list: Black Widow and Rogue. Oh wait- so my MHML disease is still within me after all. It was just dormant.

So anyway, looks like the next few weeks will be figure review weeks. So many things to do with toys.
