Epic Moments In Action Figure History : 1991 Toy Biz Quick Change Armor Iron Man

Image
Super hero action figures have always been around. And whether you were battling It out In your backyard with Mego or adventuring on an alien planet with Mattel's line of Secret Wars figures, there were always times when you wished you could remove a figures mask or helmet to reveal their secret identity. Secret identities were huge In the comics we read , and played just as big a part as the alter egos did. How cool would It have been to have a David Banner or  Peter Parker  figure?!?  While we never got either of the aforementioned, In 1991 Toy Biz gave us Tony Stark! Quick Change Armor Iron Man's  helmet ,chest ,arm and leg armor were all removable giving the figure  maximum re-playabilty! The release of Toy Biz's 1991 line of Marvel Superheroes will always be pretty unforgettable ,but It was figures like this that ,IMO, make It an epic moment In action figure history!  

Taking A Look At Snake Eyes V.37 !

This Snake Eyes figure has been on my want list for too long and thanks to Brothermidnight , I can cross It off the list. What a lot of pictures fail to convey are the purple accents on this Snake Eyes  figure. They are subtle but noticeable. I like It . It gives It more of a comic book feel. In fact,up until the Retaliation Ultimate Snake Eyes released , this was the go to Snake Eyes for most collectors looking for a solid modern representation of  the beloved 1985  version. Lets compare the two and see how they both stack up to old V.2 Snake Eyes! The obvious difference between the two is size. The Ultimate version Is a lot taller than the 25th Ann. version. It's  also a lot shinier .  25th Ann. Snake Eyes/ Ultimate Snake Eyes As far as head sculpts go,I think the 25th Ann. Snake Eyes beats the Ultimate version. It's way more accurate .  Looking at both modern Snake Eyes figures next to the vintage and you would probably think that the 25th.
