CT Toys - Spider-Man (Classic)
CT Toys is heavy on my radar right now. I was pleasantly surprised with Wolverine but this Spider-Man figure has made me a full fledged believer. Included are 5 sets of alternate hands, 1 with magnets (6 in all if you count the ones he comes equipped with), 1 extra set of articulated feet with magnets, 4 web streams and an alternate McFarlane style head sculpt. Oh, and a display stand. I've said in the past how sucky I am at posing action figures. That said, MAFEX/CT figs are great for posing, even if you're not very good at it. It's "kid gloves" with these guys, though, as they are a little gummier than Legends figures. CT Toys Wolvie and Spidey! Here's CT Toys Spidey next to a couple of Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures. The differences are pretty pronoun...
1990 Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes Daredevil
Growing up we had lots of cool superhero toys to collect. There was never a shortage of Batman, Superman or Spiderman figures in the toy aisles. Mainstream characters got all the love. Dudes like Daredevil, not so much. That all changed in the mid to late 80's (Mattel Secret Wars) and in 1990 Toy Biz would start releasing their seemingly neverending line of Marvel Superheroes that gave us action figures of everybody from Daredevil to Deathlok.
Reminds me of the old G.I. Joe Meets Transformers cover where Bumblebee is getting blasted apart.
ReplyDeleteI had to google that comic book cover.Poor Bumblebee.I will never be able to unsee that.
DeleteAwesome pic! Glad you used Vintage Duke, makes it look more like a classic meets modern kind of thing!
ReplyDeleteThats what I was going for.In fact I thought I could tie the 84 on BB's doors to Dukes action figure release year but I was off by one year.I think this Duke figure released In 83.
DeleteNothing wrong with a little vintage mash up! Fantastic. I remember getting that Duke through Flag Point mail order.
ReplyDelete100 % agreed :)The only Duke figure I was able to get was the Tiger Force version.I was late to the OG game.
