My Top 20 Action Figures #1

and this..


...was all It took to get me hooked on  this...


...which,ultimately ,led me to really,really wanting this!




#1 Mattel Secret Wars Captain America




As much as I loved G.I. Joe as as a kid,the harsh reality was that they were just filling the void Marvel couldn't, with their lack of a mainstream cartoon presence.I will go to the grave a Marvel fan.The seemingly endless amount of brightly costumed characters,universes,affiliations and plot twists was enough to reel me In not only at an early age,but now as an adult .To me ,Captain America will always be the face of Marvel.I had a couple Secret Wars figures as a kid.Captain America,Spider-Man(red and black) and Dr.Doom ,but Captain America was  and still Is my favorite!

    I don't think I ever owned any Secret Wars figures as a kid. I was more of a Star Wars guy. But that doesn't keep me from appreciating cool figures. Thanks for sharing your Top 20 list!

      I probably don't have enough action figures to justify a Top 20 post... but I might use your idea for my sports cards.

    If I ever get one I will have Ray make a proper shield for him.

      I've seen others do that.Or you could just use a Marvel Universe shield.Some people draw the shield in the shape of the lenticular insert and place It into the original Secret wars shield.

    As a kid my favorite Secret Wars figures I owned were Daredevil, Captain America, Doctor Doom and Doctor Octopus! I don't know anyone who had Doc Ock and didn't have the bendable arms break off!

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.
