Marvel Universe - Wolverine (Brown Suit/Comic Pack)

I got this In the mail yesterday. I've been really drawn to this style  buck some of the first Marvel Universe figures sported . This will explain why you'll see that I'm amassing multiple figures of certain characters in my collection.I normally don't go that route as I like to keep it simple,but If a particular character that I already own has another figure out there with this kind of sculpt,then I'm picking It up. Hence the Wolverine figure you see below.  Right off the bat ,you'll notice one glaring problem with this particular body sculpt and that's the scale misrepresentation.Every figure Is the same height!I kind of like this because It hearkens back to a simpler time when all figures had uniformed   height and style.Die hard's won't like this one bit.

Marvel Universe - Bulldozer

When Brother Midnight said he had  Wrecking Crew member ,Piledriver ,for trade I was like "No doubt!" It turns out Piledriver wasn't the figure he had ,It was Bulldozer all along lol! That's all good Brother,I get them confused all the time.Funny thing Is,I used to own this figure.It came In a two pack along with the ever lovin'  Thing .I traded him away to Buzz of  Action Figure Adventures  ,and have wanted to re-acquire one since.In the end,I'm glad It turned out to be Bulldozer and not Piledriver. Here he is next to the Wrecking Crew's leader, Wrecker.All I need now are Piledriver and Thunderball. I know ,I suck at posing .Lately I just haven't felt that extra motivation to put my action figures in cool poses. Even If I did find that motivation,I'd most likely still suck at It. The Wrecking Crew played a major role In the Secret Wars series.Well,not that major but they do  appear often and  have a lot of dialogue througho...

Loyal Subjects Trap Jaw!I absolutely love this figure and have already taken to ebay to find some Loyal Subjects Joe figures.Just a solid product with accessories and decent articulation.  O.K. ,where to begin.I'll start with the  Dr.Strange figure.The one I have now has a loose leg that  always falls off and now I have solid replacement.My Wrecking Crew is two deep now thanks to the Bulldozer figure.All I need now Is Piledriver and Thunderball. Mystique  was a total surprise and a must have for my team of mutant villains.I finally have a Secret Wars accurate Doc Ock figure!And Kraven the Hunter!Kraven the fu*!...
