Spider-Man Homecoming - Spider-Man/Vulture Set

I kept my toy haul down to  just this Spider-Man Homecoming two pack .I had a chance to pick up a vintage G.I. Joe Rolling Thunder among other things,but came to the realization that I just don't have the room.I may still add a couple of  smaller things with the extra birthday cash but for now ,this was all I really wanted.I picked this up from Target  and was surprised to see the $19.99 price tag on it.Their figures are always marked up.So,yeah,don't go paying $30 for it  on ebay. Had the Spidey figure been single carded ,I would have probably just grabbed that instead of the two pack.I'm not a big fan of the Vulture figure. He's a little cooler once you have him in-hand but overall it's still pretty "meh"  .

If the small write up on the back Is any indication of the upcoming film's plot ,I'm underwhelmed.Vulture wants the worlds most powerful technology ,but then again doesn't everyone?He's just gonna have to wait in line for the new I-Phone just like everyone else.



This Spider-Man figure Is really cool.And really ...soft?The plastic used for the sculpt Is super gummy.It works ,but I can't help but cringe every time I  bend his elbow or knees when posing.He's  missing wrist and waist articulation,but makes up for that with rocker ankles and an  articulated neck joint.This Spidey can look all the way up or down.The head sculpt is perfectly executed, everything Is pretty symmetrical.Of course you don't get the black  web lines throughout the costume.

Vulture looks more like a downgraded version of the Rocketeer. The mask/helmet looks way different than the film version and Is missing the two glowing eyes .The wings are detachable and fit snug on his back but are missing the  wind turbines. The best part about this figure are his large mechanical talons.They rock side to side  and swivel up and down.It would have been cool If they opened and closed.


Below are a few fun yet rushed  pics I put together showing both figures In action!

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.
