Welcome to superhero-land! This site specializes in information, commentary, pictures on one thing: figures of Superheroes and Superheroines. These are all 3 dimensional representations of superheroes, defined by one character on the web as
Phenomenon in American comic culture – strangely popular mutants and freaks, usually wearing tights and some highly uncomfortable costumes. Occupation – saving the world and (pseudo) destroying other similar creatures.
Well, what do you expect from someone named Ivar who’s website is mostly in some incompressible (and possibly Scandinavian) language, and who apparently doesn’t do graphics. The more civilized folks at Wikipedia define them as

We will have lots of information about action figures, figurines, statues, busts, maquettes, and so on since we only do figures, and not comics, t-shirts, or coffee mugs. Eventually I’ll add a picture gallery showing particularly nice examples of Superhero figures.
This site is only made better by the participants of the readers. For that reason, this blog is a DOFOLLOW blog, which means that if you contribute to the interest of the blog with a good comment, you’ll be rewarded with page rank flowing back to you. So the better the blog, the more link juice you get for your own website, which is a little “thank you” from me for your good contributions.
We’re still a work in progress, and the store still isn’t organized properly but we’re getting there!
