Monogram International FIGURAL ERASERS!
Novelty items are a constant thorn in the sides of collectors. Sometimes they are just so gimmicky and unattractive that you in no way are tempted to buy them. But then the collecting bug rears its ugly head and you think "but I already got the Squinkies and Nog'nz.. so don't I need to get these?" Plus they are almost always super cheap. It's a slippery slope indeed. These Monogram Erasers didn't appeal to me at all when I first saw pictures of them a year or two ago. They had all the trappings of a sloppy final product (paint masking issues, deformed molds, etc) and they just somehow lack the "cute" factor that Grab Zags, Chibis and Squinkies have. But I realize now that I was being a bit too judgmental. When I was buying the exclusive keychain set at this year's Monogram NYCC booth, I took the time to sort through the bins of these erasers to find the best looking ones, and in the process I began to appreciate these weird little guys. Let's check them all out in detail below!

DC Keychains - WONDER WOMAN & HARLEY QUINN!
New York ComicCon was a bit of a bummer this year in the toy department. Mattel's absence, Hasbro setting up shop at a different location (again), and no DCC exclusives all combined to bring the bar down a bit. This 5-Pack of DC Keychains from Monogram was one of only two (!) purchases I made at the show. I saw them listed in the exclusives guide before the show and I wasn't overly impressed. But when I saw them in person at the Monogram booth I was hooked. What I like most about them is how they look like the Little Big Planet characters which I've always been fond of. The Keychains are also larger and heavier than I expected. Their heads are about the size of a walnut shell and heavy like a dense ball of rubber. I found myself handing the box to my friends just so they could feel the weight. The box was fairly expensive at around $40-45 (I forget). But it was one of my only purchases so it seemed justified. Let's check out the adorable little novelties below!

Monogram's HARLEY QUINN!
I love Harley's classic costume. It's quirky, simple, and suits her personality so well. In comparison, the Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, New 52, and Injustice designs seem so extreme (and not-so-"crazy"-- which is just out of character). Especially when compared to her wacky jester costume. I've read various secondhand statements that in the post-New52 world, all products we would see of our favorite DC characters would be sporting ONLY New52 designs. So far I actually think this may be true when it comes to the main Justice League crew, but luckily all the Harley stuff still has her in her classic duds (probably because all the alternates are too risque for the toy aisles). Whatever the reason is, I'm glad. Upcoming classic Harleys include the Monogram figural eraser, Skelanimal PVC, UNKL Vinyl and a Funko Pop! figure due out this Summer. I'm sure there will be more but we'll just have to wait and see. For now, let's check out this beautiful PVC figure below!
