Marvel Showdown - Mole Man

Mole Man is another one of those classic Marvel villains that desperately needs a Marvel Universe figure.Right now,the only 3 3/4 scale Mole Man figs are from the 90's Iron Man Toybiz line and the one you see here from the Marvel Showdown collection.The 90's Toybiz fig is affordable and comes with a cool subterranean minion , but doesn't fit In well with Marvel Universe figures. The Marvel Showdown Mole Man has been totally out of the question for me as he can be pretty pricey on ebay,loose or in the two pack he originally came in.I was lucky enough to find one loose sans cape and accessories for $4 bucks.A far cry from the 20 plus dollars you'll be shelling out for a complete one. 

I was a little let down by the fact that  his hands don't open.I thought they did :( Mole Man needs his trademark staff/club so I decided to try a Mega Bloks Foot Soldier's staff.It was too wide to fit in the tiny hole in Mole Mans hand ,so I took a stab at trying to customize it.  


I know,horrible,right!lol!


Oh well,I'm not one to start poking holes in my figures so i thought the next best thing to do was to add some kind of handle that would slip over Mole Mans fist.He's such a cool figure,though! Hopefully I can come across his cape sometime and a better looking staff.

    Interesting character that doesn't get a lot of the spotlight. Neat customization with the staff.

    Thanks GI.Mole Man would make for an interesting movie character with all those monsters he can conjure up.

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.
