Why do I want this?

Okay, okay. I know.

What the hell is Killer Moth?

To be honest, I hadn't heard of Killer Moth until I heard he was part of DC Universe Classics Series 6. I heard some buzz on the messageboards because it really seemed so random, and yet, so cool for them to include such a remotely classic villain (who also made an appearance in Batman: The Animated Series). In fact, in the upcoming issue of Toy Fare, there's an article titled something like "How do they pick these guys?" with a photo of Killer Moth.

So he's a completely random, odd Batman villain. What does he look like?

...Holy crap. What the hell is that?

It's...red, yellow, purple, and green. With little red wings and a big ass gun. And red eyes.

I know what that is. It is awesome.

In fact, so many of the online reviews of this figure cite his absolute weirdness as his most enticing factor. Typically, I get the figures of characters that I appreciate for the character (no Penguins here), but I'm too intrigued by Killer Moth.

The buzz around the figure, combined with his positive reviews and over-the-top paint application, have gotten me seriously interested. I saw him in package at my local comic shop, and I think that did it for me. What did not, however, was the insane $18 price tag.

So my plan is to monitor The Fwoosh sightings boards and check around here. The nearest Walmart doesn't have DCUC, the TRU didn't either, and the Target only has Series 2. However, supposedly another Walmart not too far away carries them. I may have to go check tomorrow.

Of course, my Hot Toys Dark Knight should be here tomorrow, so I might not want to leave the apartment.
