Lanard CORPS! Elite - Plague

Plague,The baddie formerly known as Shadow!Hugo "Shadow " Ortiz was a covert ops good guy  In the CORPS! who ,to quote his bio , " Strayed into the obscure".After messing around with some nano-technology ,Shadow becomes Plague,leader of  The Curse!Check out the artwork!I don't know who's doing all of Lanards illustrations,but you can tell they are moving In the right direction.The artwork, story line and additional characters do a great job of complimenting each other .I think a CORPS! hour length animated film on DVD would tie everything together and make this a heavyweight as far as discount toys go.These guys need to be brought to life!













Here's  Shadow next to Plague.Both have the same sculpts with different paint apps.I'm really like the Curse faction symbol.




I'm glad I decided to hang onto all of my CORPS! figures.With these newly released figures,I should be able to amass a nice army of them.

    Cool backstory for the figure. The Corps really brought their A game this year between the great repaints, mech suits and the new females. I have picked up a couple and am really looking forward to seeing where they'll go in the next couple of years. Hoping they look to new tooling for male characters with the same articulation as the females, if they do I am all in.

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.
