    Do you remember a line of bendable baseball figures that were sold at places like Big Lots around the time that Starting Lineup was getting popular? I remember having a few and they actually had things like catcher mitts and bat accessories and maybe even removable helmets.

      No but alot of them come up when searching for Starting Lineups on ebay.I guess they are from the 80's but I can't remember ever seeing them as a kid.From the ones I've seen on ebay,they don't look half bad.And like you stated,the gear is removable.

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
