Hasbro Jurassic Park lll - Military General

Of all the figures Orniphus meticulously  packed into that Amazon Prime box, this was one of the gems that stood out to me.At first glance,I kind of figured It was a JP figure ,and after further research,It seems I was right.Jurassic Park figures ,while not heavily articulated,sport some really cool sculpts.In fact,If Fisher Price were to re-release an Adventure People  line of figures ,this Is how I would want them to look .Like most other JP figs,this generic Military General Is pre-posed in a stance  fit for a heavy machine gunner.In fact  that's the kind of weapon he originally comes with,along with a small scale T-Rex.The cool thing about this figure Is his blank slate.He works with pretty much any other military themed action figure and can also be inserted into your Marvel Universe as your standard General.You could also use him as Duke for your Joe universe or Rico from the Star Ship Troopers film.I'm gonna have this figure stick around just In case I decide to pick up any other JP sets.

      I saw those Matt.They don't look much like the Fisher Price Adventure People.They are nice looking figures,though.

    I got this guy on card after they got clearanced out of the stores. He was my Duke for a little bit while there were no Joes to be had. His head sculpt is really nice, I was only bothered by how difficult it was to make him stand. Also his assortment was repainted and rereleased as a Toys R Us exclusive a couple about 2-3 years ago.

      I may have seen them as well at discount clothing stores.I think they were going for about 7 bucks .I almost picked up a set,but never went back for it.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
