Starting To Settle In A Bit

 While things are still a little crazy during this pandemic, most of us have gotten used to living In upside down world (Stranger Things reference). I've had to get used to other things as well, primarily, living alone and apart from my family. It's already been a few months and as tough as it's been on me mentally and emotionally, I think I'm starting to settle into this new norm. I don't get out much but when my daughter comes to visit on the weekends, I kind of have no choice, lol. She loves Wal-Mart and pretty much any store that has a makeup section and I love spending that time with her. This past weekend we hit up a local Target and I was able to pick up a couple of things. A line that I've been keeping my eyes on and low key crushing on, Mattel's MOTU Origins.



I've also been sprucing up the man cave a bit. I think this place is slowly becoming more conducive to blogging and all things retro and nerdy! I wouldn't have It any other way!

    Sweet man cave! That Marvel wall is fantastic with the print and the shelves full of figures.

    Thanks, Fuji! That print in the center was a gift from my nephew and it really tied everything together, I think. The shelves are actually cheap sconces I picked up at Family Dollar for like 6 bucks. I'm thinking about picking up another set.

    Thanks, Jigs! My sister got me the Captain America and Iron Man canvases a few years back and I just recently got the one you see In the center. All three look decent together I think.

    Looking good! Sweet Mancave. Mine has been taken over by the kids toys and overflow from their rooms!

    It totally happens, Spyda lol! Maybe you could work on a hybrid room that both you and the kids can utilize. One half 80s the other 2000's 😉

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...

Recent Pick Up!

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.
