I wouldn't have paid full price for Black Hand either, but that's mainly because of my unfamiliarity with the character. That said I do think that he's on the short list of DCD figures -- at least among the ones I own -- that I think are actually worth close to the retail purchase price. There are plenty I missed out on that look fantastic, though.

Mickey: They're sort of spread out all over the place, but on flat surfaces. There's this room in the basement with a bar, a desk, some shelves and cabinets, and a table, so I tend to put new arrivals wherever I can fit them. Currently the Transformers are occupying the shelves and some cabinets; the DC Comics, Street Fighter, and Foot Clan figures are hanging out on the bar; my limited Doctor Who collection is in one of the cabinets (except for those Daleks that appeared in the Dalek shirt photo; I sort of liked them on that bookshelf and left them there); and random assorted figures occupy the other spaces. Of course, I have way more toys than can fit on surfaces in that room, so others are bagged and in boxes elsewhere.

I have the same Spike figure you have (snagged him for $5 at a con) and he's stored along with the other Smallville figures. The plan is to snag the Smallville JLA figures due out in a month or two.

Black Hand was one of those one-note joke super-villains. He had this energy collector he'd use to snag the energy from Green Lantern's ring when they fought. He could then use the energy like a Green Lantern, but he was an idiot and eventually retired. His current state is a result of alien experiments. He's to become part of the Black Lantern Corps soon. The figure is nice and creepy, but I certainly wouldn't have paid full price for him.

Lovin' that Kirby Darkseid!
