2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

I think the last time I bought a comic book ,a contemporary comic book with some sort of relevancy,Ronald Reagan  was president.I came close to picking up the new Secret Wars series that released in 2015.Oh ,and the new DC 52 stuff ,too.But I never pulled the trigger on either.I had been out of the loop for so long.Couple that with the 4 dollar price tag per comic and the only thing they got out of me was a disinterested "Nah,I'll pass." Now,recently I had been hearing talk about a merger of popular 80's toy franchises ,coming together for a big screen debut.MASK,G.I. Joe ,Transformers,Micronauts, ROM and I believe Visionaries made the cut as well.This literally blew the drawers off  of me!This Is something I have been wanting to happen since I began collecting action figures.In fact one of the reasons why I started to collect 3 3/4 was because so many different lines/characters were available ,and I would be able to mix and match my figures like never before!I have a

During my childhood comic book phase,Jim Lee's  X-Men was  prevalent In my collection.Man,I loved that series of books.I must admit,the women of X-Men were some of my first comic book crushes.Nobody drew Jean Grey and Psylocke better than Jim Lee.I was never huge on other female comic book characters.She -Hulk ,Invisible Woman,Tigra ,they were cool but  nothing like Rogue,Storm,Psylocke and Jean Grey.There was this extra toughness about them.That Jim  Lee era was my favorite ,period.This,however,Is not a Jim Lee inspired Psylocke figure.Even so,It's still a pretty amazing sculpt. Here's what my current X-Men team looks like.

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 so

What will be the hot collectible in 2046 I think drones will be In full swing and the popular contemporary collectible.They'll be smaller ,customize -able and  more affordable.In fact they'll probably replace phones altogether. As for the future nostalgists ,pretty  much anything popular with the kids now will be popular for them as collectors  In 2046. Mr.Smith goes back to the future Because of Alexis,I'm going to buy up all licensed erasers.100 bucks Is still alot of money! The little eyes on Bro Midnight's Pop Culture post will make you cookoo for Cocoa Puffs...and VHS tapes!
