Marvel Infinite Series - Wonder Man (Variant)

So much for the different colored backgrounds and light box experiment.I'm going back to pics on the shelf.The box was really beginning to be a pain in the ass.I didn't have any place to store It and backgrounds were beginning to scatter.Just one big fail :( Oh well.To the figure...


Everyone has pretty much been a part of the Avengers at one point or another. Wonder Man Is a character who was a regular  In the 80's Avengers comics I used to own as a kid. He was a bit of a vein ,aspiring actor type,but was also pretty damn powerful when It came to throwing down .I always liked him because of that.This wasn't the version of  Simon Williams I wanted,but seeing as how the original MU Wonder Man Is going for big bucks on eBay,I'll have to settle for this one. It's not a horrible figure at all.You can call this his "ionic energy" variant but to me It's just a pissed off version of Wonder Man.It's always better  to avoid crossing  paths with somebody when they're pissed off .A translucent,purplish hue with red glowing eyes Is always a good indicator.     


As you can see here,the translucent plastic looks pretty dope.  


Here's Wondies brother Eric Williams.


With all the different heroes that have joined the ranks of the Avengers over the years,these are the ones I can identify with the most.Actually,you can throw Vision,Hercules and Black Knight into that list as well.All figures that I have to track down at one point or another.

    Did not know they did a Grim Reaper figure! I would definitely have gotten him if I had known by now. He is one of the few villains in West Coast Avengers that I enjoyed!

      I distinctly remember him,The Brothers Grimm and the Shroud in an old Avengers comic I used to have as a kid.

    That's an interesting look for the character. Did he actually look like this in the comics?

      Not that I can remember.All I remember was his eyes flaring up but not his entire body.I think more recently he has been portrayed this way in the newer comics and series.

      If I remember correctly he was portrayed in his full purple "Ionic" look in the 90s but could be wrong. I seem to remember him this way but I do not read modern comics. Great figure Tony and looks great with the Avengers!

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.
