Captain Atom!

A while back I did a post about a Captain Atom figure I had acquired , but I'm not exactly sure what line It was from, right now.Anyways,I didn't like the figure that much but loved the character and hoped to one day add   an Infinite Heroes to my collection.That endeavor has finally come to fruition! Captain Atom Is one of my favorite DC characters next to Batman and Superman.I got hooked on his 1987 run of books,starting with the 1st edition annual. That issue featured a drag out brawl between Captain Atom and another character with similar powers created by the government,Major Force. I hope to one day recoup those issues as I'd like to familiarize myself better with both characters.

    I have never read a Captain Atom book before, might have to look for a cheap issue to see what's what.

      That annual is pretty cheap on ebay and might be worth picking up ,Jon.Too bad they dont have a TPB.At least I dont think one exists.

    Captain Atom was one of the Charlton Comics characters acquired by DC in the 80s. Along with Question, Blue Beetle, Peacemaker, Nightshade and Thunderbolt were the inspiration for the Watchmen! Captain Atom became Dr. Manhattan!

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...

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.
