Action Figure Of The Day

Crazy how I never associated Swamp Thing with DC. If there was a comic run back when I was a kid I totally overlooked it. Now he's featured in most Justice League cartoon series' . My earliest memories of him were from the live action film released in the early 80s. This figure stems from the Swamp Thing cartoon which, again, I never watched much. I just really liked the different versions of Swamp Thing. Of all the figures that were released, this one was always my favorite.

    I was big into the cartoon, as well as the live-action television show, when I was a kid. Never much cared for the film though, and I suspect that a lot of the people who do say that they like it, really only like it for one scene in particular... yeah, that scene! The toys were awesome for the time, and still look really good today.

      Either I'm showing early signs of dementia or I was a total square as a kid cuz I can't, for the life of me, remember " that scene!" 😂 I'm sure at some point today I'll youtube it. Nothing wrong with refreshing the memory 😜

    I vaguely remember the live action movie. Pretty sure I watched it over at my buddy's house when I spent the night, but that's about all I've got.

    I loved the movie. I also don't remember "the scene." Will have to YouTube it. I assume it must be a "Phoebe Cates - Fast Times" scene with Adrienne Barbeau?

      Yep - that was easy to find. One of the first movies I saw on cable, when we first got cable.

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.
