2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

Curate ;  select, organize, and look after the items in (a collection or exhibition). "both exhibitions are curated by the museum's director" Lets    start with the first one.How do I select my collection or items In my collection? Very simple. 95 % of It  has to have some kind of childhood connection.I had to have at least owned It or wanted It real bad as a kid.Although lately I've been restricting myself ,only acquiring vintage that I owned as a kid.The other 5% Is made up of miscellaneous things that I just think are cool. Second,how do I organize? I guess you could count displaying as organizing as everything that I have displayed Is bunched together according to the line.All my Joes together,all my Marvel Universe together and so on and so forth.I'm too ocd to have It any other way.Once In a while I'll mix a Joe into my Marvel Universe display and vice versa ,but for the most part my figures are segregated....

I was happy to find these figures marked all the way down to 5 bucks and some change from their original 13 dollar price tag.I've already got a battle at Hoth   Luke in his X-Wing uniform and a Power of the Force Bespin Luke which was basically a place holder until I could come across a better,more articulated  version.This Luke I really like although I'm just realizing that this Is not the Luke/Vader final battle version.He's not wearing his glove.I believe this Is the Luke that confronts Jabba because of the robe he's wearing.If anybody has anymore info I'd greatly appreciate It. I've watched the films a ton but I'm not one of those line for line,scene for scene fanatics. I really like him In his robe,though. One odd thing about this figure,and I think It's been covered before In past reviews,Is the loss or lack of paint on the tips of his boots.I'm not sure If It's supposed to be wear  or just a figure flaw.I could always touch It up...

With my villains already having a place (Castle Doom) to kick back and unwind ,I really needed a way to set off my hero display. What better way to do that than with the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier! This Is how It comes in the box,tied down with the included instructions,decals and Captain America action figure.Putting this  together Is a snap.Literally.The pieces snap together effortlessly yet hold tight once connected. Here It Is assembled with decals.This thing Is big.Not to scale,though.Not even close.But seriously,had It been In scale  ,I would probably have to remove my bed in order for It to fit In the room.This Is no U.S.S. Flag ,but It works.As a display piece,you get all the aesthetics.As a kid,I probably would have liked to see more play features added.I'll go over those next. Of the 7 guns that the carrier Is armed with,only 5  shoot missiles.the two cannons that stick out of the front part of the carrier look cool but don't have any k...

We'll be taking a look at this a little later on ;)

Like I stated In my last post,Wal Mart has Star Wars Black Series 3 3/4 figures on sale for about $5 bucks a piece!While  most are from the new film there are  a couple of ROTJ based figures to be had.I snagged up the two I needed most,Jedi Luke and Lando! Also,digging around Inside my junk drawer I found 4 stands for one of our  smart TV's.We don't use the stands so I decided to go over two of them with some white paint and use them on my Star Wars winter scene dio. They fit perfectly inside of the round insets.  And now that I  finally have a Jedi Luke figure ,I went ahead and painted up a spare Swiffer box I had laying around all black.   Added two of those TV stands ,unpainted and now I have a dio for my Vader and Jedi Luke figures.I have since added a battery operated touch light and will have pics of the completed dio shortly.   But seriously,If your late to the articulated Star Wars figure scene and would li...
