A Couple Of Things...

I figured I'd take a page out of Alexis's book and do a multi themed post.Alexis has done It on a couple of occasions and I can dig a post with more than just one thing going on,so here's my homage.
Kicking things off with a tip that I received from good friend Allen( Bro Midnight ) about some 3 3/4 Marvel Legends figs that went on clearance at his local Gamestop.I can't thank him enough for giving me the scoop every time he comes across these sales.I don't frequent Gamestop often so It's nice to have fellow bloggers In the field to put us up on any toy related goings on.I wasn't able to find much at the two Gamestops I have near me,but I did come across this Triton figure for 3 bucks!He's pretty much the only one I wanted from that wave anyways so It works out.Thanks again Brother ;)

Next up.I recently gave my Fisher Price Castle Doom a black wash and painted the base as well to give It a more realistic look.What do you guys think?



  


Also,I painted up my Marauder figure to make It my custom ,unmasked  Snake Eyes.There are still a couple of touch ups I need to hit here and there but for the most part It's done.

    thats a good score for 3 bucks! The only small one mine had left was the 4 armed guy ( They had the Noir Spiderman last week but he was gone by the time the sale hit. I was able to get 6 of the full sized legends for only $16 , thats like less then the normal price for one. the castle looks great! I have thought about using this polystone fleck spray paint I have on one and seeing how it turns out.

    Thanks ,man.That's insane and probably the only way I'll collect anything 6 inch Legends.I was surprised at how nicely the base turned out on the castle.There's still room for improvement.

    Castle Doom looks .... wow, so much better now. Might have to consider that fr Castle Destro lol.
    Thanks for the shout out lol, I love multiple posts on one, I feel it makes the post better somehow, maybe due to not trying to extend one subject.

      Just throw some black acrylic paint over It and wipe down with damp paper towel.It works wonders!

      It looks a lot better now that It doesn't have that bright green base,that's for sure.

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.
