A Couple Of Things...

Image
I figured I'd take a page out of Alexis's  book and do a multi themed post.Alexis has done It on a couple of occasions and I can dig a post with more than just one thing going on,so here's my homage. Kicking things off with a tip that I received from good friend Allen(  Bro Midnight  ) about some 3 3/4 Marvel Legends figs that went on clearance at his local Gamestop.I can't thank him enough for giving me the scoop every time he comes across these sales.I don't frequent Gamestop often so It's nice to have fellow bloggers In the field to put us up on any toy related goings on.I wasn't able to find much at the two Gamestops I have near me,but I did come across this Triton figure for 3 bucks!He's pretty much the only one I wanted from that wave anyways so It works out.Thanks again Brother ;) Next up.I recently gave my Fisher Price Castle Doom a black wash and painted the base as well to give It a more realistic look.What do you guys think?

Marvel Universe - Wrecker

Toy Box  just left a comment on my last post that I responded to by saying how hard It is to stop collecting Marvel Universe.Right now,they've even surpassed G.I. Joe as far as what I've got on my radar.This Is my latest.From the infamous Wrecking Crew (not to be confused with Transformers ,The Wreckers.),we have The Wrecker! Not quite the Wrecking Crew but a formidable crew ,nonetheless. It is said that The Wecker's crowbar Is enhanced by  Asgardian Gods and that he's almost a match for Thor. Gone are the days when Marvel Universe figures came with cool Top Secret file cards and stands.Little additions like these add class to an action figure and makes you feel like you've purchased something special.

Spider-man Fiercest Foes - Black Suit Spider-Man (Battle Glider)

A little something I picked up over the X-Mas holiday ,Battle Glider Black Suit Spidey!Well,not exactly black.More like blackish,grayish bluish with a metallic hue Spidey. I actually love this variant  figure and I think the color scheme works really well,too. Here he Is on the back of the Fiercest Foes  card . At first,I didn't think I'd be on board with the added glider accessory but I can dig It.It actually makes more sense than that giant  Styrofoam glider that came with the black Spidey Secret Wars figure back In the 80's .  In fact,this figure  might be paying homage to that great 80's black suit Spider-Man set. The glider fits nicely and immediately reminded me of Silverhawks when you spread the wings out. That Is a pretty awesome ,soft goods glider. As a kid,this would have been my first pairing.A Falcon and battle glider Spidey combo Is a no brainer.  The Fiercest Foes line of 3 3/4 Marvel figures was a p

Round Robin Challenge: Fire All Over,Fire All Over!

OK,let's get the obvious out of the way.If a fire ever broke out In your home ,the first thing we'd all go after  would be our loved ones,pets included.But afterwards,If you had a guaranteed 1 minute window of time,which collectibles would you go back and rescue?Remember ,you only have 60 seconds.Do you go for quantity over quality  In a Wal Mart plastic shopping bag or do you run out with with a couple of expensive statues under each arm ?Round Robin Social Media Challengers want to know! For me,It would have to be my Secret Wars figures.I only have eight  of them but I love them to death.
