"Star Trek" and "Continues" web series shine in these creative collages

A couple weeks ago you saw the clever collages created by C.J., who's an avid fan of "Wonder Woman," "The Bionic Woman," "Star Trek" and much more. C.J. has turned his attention to not only the original "Trek" series but also the newer fan-made web series "Star Trek Continues." Have you seen the web series? It looks amazing, and this author is going to dive into those episodes herself very soon. The actors' likenesses to the original cast are pretty good, and the sets look incredible. In the meantime, you can enjoy these colorful images, courtesy of C.J., and yes, you can download them ...

Terrific non-TV Toys: Batgirl ViniMate by Diamond Select Toys, 2018

This time on Terrific non-TV Toys, it's an item released for Free Comic Book Day a couple years ago, for something a tad different. It's yet another Batgirl figure (statue?) in our "Backlog of Batgirls" in 2020, and we're still trying to catch up! (Yes, more have been procured since we started chipping away at the backlog ... sigh ...) For this one, you'll see that she's part of a dynamic duo -- though her sometimes-boyfriend from the comics, Nightwing, is conspicuously absent! We'll explain why ...

Canadian artist Jim Wilson gets creative again, this time on the Starship Enterprise

Well, our buddy Jim Wilson of the Great White North is at it again. You've seen Jim's clever "Dukes of Hazzard" art on this blog, and it was featured in the BRBTV books "Them Dukes! Them Dukes!" and "Let's Roll, Kato: A Guide to TV's Green Hornet." Jim is also a fan of "Star Trek," both the original series and various other incarnations. One of his latest garage projects (and he has many, believe me!) was the command chair of Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise. This turned out pretty nice! And Jim completed this very quickly, in only a couple days.









I had to wonder about that snazzy NCC 1701 nameplate. Jim says it's a piece of brass plate with plastic letters he glued on and painted in hammer finish paint. Then he dusted it with gold and brass paint.

This talented guy has got to take commissions, I say!!! Geesh. And Jim jokes that he added the beer because it's a Canadian chair (for a Canadian captain, actually).

Check out these beautiful TV show collages by a talented fan

He calls himself "Just a Fan," and he generously shares with BRBTV his creative collages of stars of TV shows and movies both classic and modern. "Wonder Woman," "The Bionic Woman," the '80s "Supergirl movie and the modern CW TV show "Supergirl," classic "Star Trek" and more have inspired him. Thanks so much, C.J., for sharing these, and there are so many that we're going to break this into two posts -- one this week and one next week! (And no, he doesn't mind if you download them.)
