Marvel Legends 3 3/4 - Vision

If you weren't lucky enough to pick up the Marvel Universe  release of Vision,good luck finding one under 30 bucks now :( If you're not too picky about having him In a newer,updated look ,then the new 3 3/4  Marvel Legends Vision figure's for you! He's got pretty much the same color scheme this time around ,only arranged differently.The head sculpt on the Marvel Universe version Is better looking,though,imo.But that's not to say that this Isn't a solid figure.    Well,semi-solid.I really hate the new articulation on these figures.I'm not a huge fan of rocker ankles ,especially when the legs have limited mobility.   No swivel wrists either .Man that sucks!

Mr.Sinister maybe. I think a yellow suit Wolverine would make this group pop more.That's another one I'll have to add to the list < sheesh  >

My cousin was the only one I could sit and vibe with on some Gi Joe and Transformers shit lol!But I don't remember having any action figure play sessions with him .It was more or less just a show and tell session and maybe a trade would develop somewhere down the line.Like I've stated In the past,action figure play sessions weren't just for fun.Lots of times ,when family problems arose or when my older siblings became too much to bare,action figures proved to be quite therapeutic.Much like Brother Midnight,I would drag out stories  that sometimes spanned days. There was nothing better than waking up early In the morning to pick up where you left off the day before. Before I compiled enough Joes to actually create my own uni

Always curious about this.With all of us being action figure collectors as kids,I'm wondering what everyone's approach to actually playing with them was.Did you prefer playing alone,or with a friend?Please explain why for both answers.How did you play with them?While you're at It,throw In the kind of relationship you have with your toys.Were you the care free ,I don't care what happens to or who plays with my toys type of kid or were you overprotective of them?Set the scene.
