Fun With Star Wars and a Swiffer Box!

Those of you who follow this ,and other toy blogs I've had In the past,know how much I love using miscellaneous packaging and boxes to create backgrounds and dioramas.This time we look at Swiffer pad boxes!

Not only do they make for  great little storage bins,but they also have a cool ,space vibe to them that work well for displaying  space themed figures.Also,this idea Is right up your alley If you're into recycling.You could get jiggy with It and paint It up If you'd like,or just leave It as Is.Other figures might work with this ,too, but I feel Star Wars works the best.







If you have any cool diy toy display ideas ,I'd love to see them!If you're a toy collector,you know that shelf space Is always at a minimum so It doesn't hurt to get creative when looking for alternate display possibilities.

    Great idea. Paint it white and you kinda have the interior of Leia's Tantive IV.

Go! Games and Toys

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

A GI Joe Post That's Not Classified

Image
As much as I love the Classified line of Joe figures, I feel like there's other Joe stuff out there that deserve a little bit of that spotlight.   Pictured are two custom cardback figure protectors and four Diamond Select 💎  GI Joe figures.   I'd been looking for a way to protect my stashed 3.75  o-ring Joe's when I came across these online. I picked up William Perry's and Snake Eyes protectors and will be adding more as they are made available.   These are unpunched, clean and professional looking cardbacks that feature vintage artwork  on the front and file card on the back.  Diamond Select just doesn't get the props they deserve in my opinion. As much as I dig  their Marvel Minimates line, these Joe Minimates are equally cool! I'm not even sure I want to open these guys up. I mean I want to, but would hate to.
