Marvel Legends 3 3/4 Captain America w/ Motorcycle

Another day,another Captain America figure.Captain America is alot like Snake Eyes when It comes to  contemporary action figures.You'd be hard pressed to find another character with as many figure releases. They both have a ton of  figures with different costume variations and pair well with motorcycles.I almost picked this online for  12 dollars but was happy to find one at Gamestop for about six bucks!An articulated Captain America action figure w/ shield and motorcycle for $6?All day! 

It's a pretty nice looking set.The motorcycle is nothing to write home about .I would have liked a star somewhere on the chassis but i guess i can remedy that by placing his shield on the handlebars.Everything is plastic on it,including the wheels.  



The figure has decent articulation.All the important ones,anyways.He is missing wrist and abdomen articulation but can twist at the waist. The rest is there,rocker ankles ,etc.




Eventually i will get around to acquiring movie versions of Thor and Iron Man.


one reason wht i almost passed this set up was because i already had a motor cycle for Cappy,the one included with his Strikefire Transport vehicle.I actually like the Strikefire version better but both  have a different purpose.One will remain parked inside the Transport while the Legends cycle will be put on display on the SHIELD helicarrier. 



This one has a lot more going on including slick deco and rubber wheels.


The Legends cycle is a littler more plain looking with minimal paint apps and plastic wheels.



Here we take a look at all my contemporary Captain America figures. That Super Combat movie version still holds up after all these years I'm surprised It didn't crack my top 20 list. 


Coming up later this week I've got another Mattel Secret Wars figure to post about as well as a couple of other things.Stay tuned!

    I like the way Cap looks standing with Hulk and company. Also like the shot where he's standing there with his shield on his back and you can see the shadow on the back wall.

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.
