I love me some JLA & JSA.\u00a0 In fact, I’ve been building a DC Direct\u00a0action figure collection of these two teams for years.\u00a0 After seeing my buddy Michael Bailey (Views from the Longbox<\/a> & Fortress of Baileytude<\/a>) post some pics of his figures, I thought I would take you on a tour of some of mine.\u00a0 This is by no means all my figures, just some that I have on display.<\/p>\n

So follow me weary reader through the door into the back room of the house.\u00a0 You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension – a dimension of plastic, a dimension of multiple points of articulation, a dimension of facial expressions that\u00a0look as if the character is\u00a0constipated. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into … Shag’s\u00a0Comicatorium (also known as Shag’s Sanctum Sanctorum).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0THE JUSTICE LEAGUE\u00a0OF AMERICA (multiple eras)<\/p>\n

\"JLA<\/p>\n

Notice the classic JLA<\/a> is on the top shelf, followed by the satellite-era League<\/a> on the second shelf, and finally the JLI\u00a0era<\/a> on the third shelf.\u00a0 Yes, I’m that geeky.\u00a0 Also, I hung my cool satellite-era League plate behind the second shelf.<\/p>\n

\u00a0THE JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA (classic era)<\/p>\n

\"JSA<\/p>\n

Notice Johnny Thunder and Mr. Terrific are tiny. These are from the PVC JSA set that came out a number of years ago.\u00a0 They have not yet made full size action figures of these two characters, so I leave those PVC figures in.\u00a0 Also, in-between the shelves I hung my cool Mike Parobeck<\/a> “Justice Society of America<\/a>” mini-poster promoting the series that only lasted 10 issues.\u00a0 Also in the long shot below, you can see beneath the JSA figures is a framed original drawing of Alan Scott Green Lantern<\/a> by his creator Marty Nodell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Comicatorium\"<\/p>\n

In this long shot, you can see how the Comicatorium is laid out.\u00a0 From left to right:<\/p>\n
