Marvel Universe - Baron Zemo/ Team X Wolverine

Two figures that really excited me once I spotted them In D's package were Marvel Universe Baron Zemo and Team X Wolverine. I already knew about Zemo but the Wolvie was a complete surprise.


Zemo looks great!I've been wanting to add this figure to my small army of Marvel villains for a long time now and now I can finally scratch him off my list.He cam with a pistol that just wouldn't stay In his hand and a fancy schmancy sword.At first I had some issues with the sword staying in his hand but after positioning It differently,It worked out.



I've always likened Baron Zemo to Cobra Commander.It would have been cool to have an alternate hooded version of him.





As cool as this version of Wolverine Is, I know nothing about Team X.I've seen episodes in the series with him In this suit and certain comic books but never looked into it's origin.Wolverines backstory has more twists and turns than a 60's jig and I got lost right around the time he went back to Japan to do some soul searching.I'm still not sure where this version of Wolverine will fit into my collection ,yet.  





One thing's for sure,he looks totally bad ass In an A.W.E. Striker!

    Nice fix with Zemo's sword, too bad that his hand is too open to hold his accessories though, that's why the second sword was in the bag with him, as the thicker handle fit his hand well. The Wolverine is just missing an assault rifle I think, I bought a couple of him to make some customs that I still haven't gotten around to, so thought it best not to waste him.

      I need all the help I can get when It comes to Marvel Universe,so both figures are much appreciated,D.I thought about maybe picking up a MU Maverick to go with this Wolverine,but for now It's just a thought,lol.

    I always just give Zemo some Blue tack to secure his pistol and sword.

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.
