2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

Over the past few days I've printed up some hazard and warning signs to apply to my make shift headquarters.What do you guys think?It's still a work In progress and very rough around the edges.I never get the inclination to actually play with my action figures ,but damn It If this HQ ain't giving me the urge to,lol.

5 years plopped in front of a desktop ,yapping about toys.When I first got started,way back In 2011 ,It was with a Wordpress blog called AF&T  or Action Figs and Things!What's weird Is that years before that I had already began rediscovering that childhood magic ,collecting action figures that I used to have as a kid.It was a fun endeavor ,but a limited one because I wasn't going to play with them or anything.At that time I had also been an avid reader of Reis Obrien's About.com action figure column.That led to the discovery of his toy blog/vlog Hey Look At My Toys and a host of other great blogs of the time like John Gaither's (jboypacman) Revenge From The Cosmic Ark and Colin's Super Duper Toy Box.That was all the inspiration I would need.I quickly got on the phone with my older sister and asked her If she still had her old Coolpix camera and If I could borrow it for a little while.A little while turned Into years and years turned into "It's mine

Don't fret,If there's one thing I do decide to finish by the end of this week It will be  this post.Everything else I'm not so sure about.I am the champion my friend.The champion of leaving things undone.The winner when It comes to premeditated procrastination. The most unmotivated gold medalist you'll ever meet.Yup,this guy right here.I'll get excited about something ,a project or  an idea,haphazardly implement It,then quickly lose interest and move on.It's not that things won't get finished because they will,It's just gonna take a while.In fact ,If  I were In the  Olympics ,I'd most likely be the last one to tumble past the finish line.But that's kosher ,cuz In my world,It would earn me a Gold medal! Head over to The   Rebel Page  and see what got him the Gold! 20 Years Before 2000  creates 80's day! Brother Midnight  ,over at Green Plastic Squirt Gun needs a maid. Jon from  The Harvey Mercheum   chimes In and Miss M   has

A couple posts back,i wrote about how cool these clearanced Wal Mart Adventure Wheels sets were,but things get even cooler with this next set i'm about to post about.Here we have the bright orange raft set!It comes with your average Joe adventurer/outdoorsman ,his pet dog and a host of great accessories. Lets take a look at the dog first.A very nicely detailed brown lab.Just a great sculpt and flawless paint apps.   These figures are pretty impressive as well.While they are far from top notch,the design and distinguished sculpts set them apart from other discount figures. If you customize or are into building dioramas ,then these sets may be just what your looking for.Lots of extras and goodies like working coolers,log fires and lanterns among other things. Just enough stuff to get the creative juices flowing.  Even If you're just looking to bolster your Joe vehicle stash,Adventure Wheels has you covered.This raft Is a couple of decals aw

I've always wanted some working ,folding chairs for my action figures to sit in.They're especially cool In dioramas and playsets. Online you'll pay close to 5 bucks for a pair and that's not even factoring In the shipping costs.Luckily I was able to find some at Dollar Tree ,included with an action figure that I have passed up so many times before.At first,I wasn't sure If the chairs would work/fold out ,thinking that maybe they were in a fixed bang-a-wrestler-in-the-head position.To my delight,after  getting them out of the packaging, they worked!Not bad for a buck a piece considering they each come with a postmortem Sylvester Stallone action figure. These chairs are made of a durable plastic and work well with your 3 3/4 vintage Joes.I find they work even better with the modern Marvel Universe figures  and Joes. Anything 3 3/4 that bends at the knees pretty much.  Nothing says R&R like a game of musical chairs!
