2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

So remember my Funskool Storm Shadow post?I really loved the figure  but I have to be honest,the upside down Arashikage symbol on his forearm really bugged me.The funny thing Is,I didn't know about the upside down stamp until the day of the blog post!As I uploaded the pic something told me to cross  reference and see If the symbol was correctly applied.That's when ,to my surprise ,I realized the glaring defect. Funskool V.2 Storm Shadow With Upside Down Arashikage Stamp   You guys don't understand ,I get super neurotic about shit like this.It'll bug me every time I look at It .I had to act fast,and I did.About a week later I received my  original V.2 Storm Shadow In the mail!Much better. Notice the differences?I still really like the Funskool version but the original Is so much better.Better quality,better paint apps and most importantly an accurate Arashikage tattoo! Original V.2 Storm Shadow On Left/Funskool V.2 Storm Shadow On Right   My V....

$5.99 for 4 comics!I'll take It considering that Is what one comic book goes for nowadays.Lets crack this baby open and see what we got!  A 1985 copy of The Uncanny X-Men issue # 196.A lackluster cover and from the few pages I've already flipped through,It seems to be light on action ,too.The best thing this comic has going for It Is the mentioning of  Secret Wars 2  on the corner of the cover.Anything referencing Secret Wars 1 or 2 Is a winner In my book! 1985 Marvel  # 196 The Uncanny X-Men Gambit  And The X-Ternals. A 1995 Deluxe Issue #1 of a superhero team I never new existed.From what I can tell It consists of Gambit,Strong Guy,Jubilee and I'm not so sure who the other two might be.I'm gonna take a guess and say Polaris and a souped up version of Warpath.I'm pretty sure I'm wrong on all but two ,Gambit and Jubilee.A promising looking cover ,nonetheless,and a number 1 issue ,so that's always nice. 1995 Marvel #1 Gambit And The X-Te...

This Is mostly for those of you who might be newcomers to the site. I've done posts like this before but you never know If new blood Is out there having a look see ;)I'm trying to ,slowly but surely,make room for my collection. Ideally,I'd like to have uniform book cases set up for action figures and a separate shelving unit for baseball cards and video games.Right now I have one large unit housing my figures and baseball cards.So far ,this Is what It's looking like. At the very top of the shelving unit and on the walls I have all of my Starting Lineup figures.I still have a few figures on my want list but for now ,this Is what I've got. (PLEASE EXCUSE THE STAGGERED PICS.BLOGGER SUCKS SOME TIMES) Top shelf .Some of the more popular 80's action figures In my collection. Second shelf.Baseball card binders and a small empty section at the end where I snap pics of new items as I acquire them. Third shelf.A mix of  vintage 5.5 figur...

I need another Marvel Universe figure Like I need a hole In my head.I know It,but I wasn't about to pass up this Apocalypse figure which I picked up for half of what most vendors are  asking for these days.Even though he's a must have villain for the old X-Men shelf ,I was never a huge fan of this design.I am more a fan of his 90's design.Don't get me wrong,It's a great figure,and from the looks of things I don't think I'll ever see a 90's themed Marvel Universe figure released, so this one will do for now. Pac has come a long way since his ToyBiz days ,hasn't he.Crazy thing Is,I like the ToyBiz version better!
