Marvel Universe Juggernaut

Juggernaut Is the third and final pick up from my small ebay haul a few days back.I like the figure but still think Juggernaut needs to be bigger. He's not a bad size,but It doesn't do the comic version any justice.In the comics Juggernaut would take up whole pages.That's all good, cuz I needed a Juggernaut In the worst way and this one was pretty cheap.It came to me a little on the loose side,though.Remember to always ask the seller about the tightness of the joints on the figure in question.

Buying Blind

          Who doesn’t love gambling on a blind box or mystery package?                                                          Me. I don't like not knowing what I'm gonna get,when It comes to action figures and toys.Even as a kid,I would ask the guy behind the counter at McDonald's If he could throw the specific toy I wanted into my Happy Meal cuz I didn't want to get a Miss Piggy  again ,I wanted a Gonzo.The only time I knew my hands were completely tied was with packs of baseball cards and cereal box premiums.Which reminds me,remember when we all got hip to the cereal box premium schemes?My sister would dig for hours through a box of Coco Puffs looking for that pack of Bonkers chewing taffy to no avail.I'd quickly step In and show her the ropes,pulling the cereal box prize out from inside the  inside lining of the box ;)Those were the days! Brother Midnight  has a small army of mini figures 20 Years Before 2000  may have changed my stance on mini figur

Package # 2

Marvel Secret Wars Wolverine.This one has been on my want list forever!Just recently the prices have started to drop on this figure and I was lucky enough to snag one up  for 6 bucks and some change shipped.Not too bad considering the shape he's In. The only rubbing I see are around his belt area and he's missing his claws.Other than that ,the cowl Is a solid black and so Is everything else pretty much.It's scary sometimes,picking stuff up on ebay ,cuz even though you can see the sellers item pics,you still don't really know.One thing you can't see In pics is the condition of the joints and  If they are tight or loose.I got lucky with this one.Another want list figure off the checklist- phew! The mask Is a solid black.The camera flash makes It look like the paint is rubbed on the nose and mask area. My Secret Wars collection so far.
