Sometimes,One Must Venture Out

Saturday morning was quite the nostalgic one.I caught some Heathcliff on Pluto TV (If you have the Fire Stick,definitely download the Pluto app) and  got an early start on yard work and other daily doings.The chill In the air reminded me of childhood autumn days spent playing  outdoors with your friends .Fall's initial batch of downed  leaves rustling brought back memories   of  playing touch football in the street and  the tall grass reminded me to snap the hell out of it and get to mowing my lawn. Really,just a great morning overall.So great that I decided to make It even greater by venturing out into wild to do some toy hunting.Stops included a local comic shop,baseball card hobby shop and Target.The comic shop was a bust but the card shop had a ton of  cool stuff,just a bit overpriced.I managed to come away with Matt Tracker and Miles Mayhem.Target had a bunch of overpriced Legends 3 3/4 figures and ninja turtles that had been peg warming for so long,they were now senior citizen mutant ninja turtles.Each turtle came with an AARP card.I did stumble across this Zorn figure.For the second time actually.I had recently passed him up.It turns out the brand I so vehemently bashed the other day,ultimately, came away with my business.The figure looks fantastic and I'm looking forward to breaking him out of his plastic confines.The games were ebay purchases that coincidentally arrived on what was probably the best Saturday I've had in a months.

    I had a buddy who was obsessed with Chrono Cross. Graphics were cool... but I never got into the game myself.

    dont feel bad man Funko got me again with a glow in the dark Darkwing Duck, how can I say no to a glow in the dark Darkwing?Iv never seen that Zorn figure but he looks out of scale with the vintage Heman figures.

    What better way to get out of a toy funk than with Funko,right?I guarantee It will be the last Funko product I ever buy.Maybe.I thought Zorn looked a little out of scale too but looking at it now,in the packaging next to my Remco and Motu figs, he looks to be in scale.

    you know , Iv been seeing a lot of this Zorn stuff but the show didnt even last a full season before it was canceled. Looks like these merchandise people are late to the party.

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.
