My Top 20 Figures 5-2


I've told this story before so I'll keep It short.Arak was a part of a massive X-Mas gift I received as a kid in Puerto Rico.I'm thinking my mom and dad thought they were MOTU ,but that's besides the point.I pretty much got the whole line that X-Mas.They jokingly put the figures in a box that originally contained silverware.So the joke was on me that year as my older brother and sisters all told me I was getting spoons and forks for X-Mas,lol! I knew they weren't MOTU when I saw them but loved them just the same.Arak was my favorite of the bunch.That memory coupled with the amazing condition of this figure easily makes it a top 5 in my collection.    

#5 ARAK  Lost World of Warlord 

Who doesn't love the Sarge?As a kid,this was the one I always wanted ,but had to settle for the Triple T tank  Sarge.It's a shame that If I ever wanted to track down his missing baton,I'd probably have to take out a loan to afford It. For one stinkin' ,tiny baton :( Still,sans baton ,mail away Sgt. Slaughter should  still be  a top 10 consideration for most action figure collectors.He comes in  at  #4 on my list.

#4 G.I. Joe ARAH   Sgt.Slaughter (Mail Away)

It's no "secret" that I am a huge fan of  Mattel's Secret Wars figures. I love everything about them.Even the goofy lenticular shields.I don't think I have to go into why Spidey here drops In at #3 on my top 20 action figures list.How much fun did we have with these figures!?!


#3 Marvel Secret Wars Spider-Man

Number 2 on the list Is none other than every kids dream figure,G.I. Joe ARAH  V.2 Snake Eyes!I knew I'd never own this figure as a kid.They were sold out everywhere and every kid that had one wasn't about to give or trade theirs away .In fact I never had a Snake Eyes figure as a kid ,which Is probably  why I have quite a few of them now.

#2 G.I. Joe ARAH Snake Eyes

           In tomorrows post,  I'll reveal my number 1!The best of the best!El numero uno!Stay tuned.

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.
