    I thought about doing a segment like this a couple times at my site. It's just such a pain to pull everything out of the shelf.

    I had to pull figures off of a shelf to make room for Alpine, so I definitely feel ya. ALPINE also had to come off of display for the pic. I'm definitely in a GI Joe frame of mind right now so looking forward to making new posts.

    Awesome. Alpine was one of my favorites. Which version is that? Almost looks like a 6 inch custom. Very cool.

    3.75 25th Ann. line. It was hit or miss with that line but this one was definitely a hit. They rereleased this same exact figure later on in the 50th ann. line.

    You guessed it! Alpine's a mountain climber. Although I'm sure in a pinch he wouldn't hesitate to whack a Cobra Trooper or two with it 😁

CT Toys - Spider-Man (Classic)

CT Toys is heavy on my radar right now. I was pleasantly surprised with Wolverine but this Spider-Man figure has made me a full fledged believer. Included are 5 sets of alternate hands, 1 with magnets (6 in all if you count the ones he comes equipped with), 1 extra set of articulated feet with magnets, 4 web streams and an alternate McFarlane style head sculpt. Oh, and a display stand.  I've said in the past how sucky I am at posing action figures. That said, MAFEX/CT figs are great for posing, even if you're not very good at it. It's "kid gloves" with these guys, though, as they are a little gummier than Legends figures.  CT Toys Wolvie and Spidey!  Here's CT Toys Spidey next to a couple of Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures. The differences are pretty pronoun...

1990 Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes Daredevil

Growing up we had lots of cool superhero toys to collect. There was never a shortage of Batman, Superman or Spiderman figures in the toy aisles. Mainstream characters got all the love. Dudes like Daredevil, not so much. That all changed in the mid to late 80's (Mattel Secret Wars) and in 1990 Toy Biz would start releasing their seemingly neverending line of Marvel Superheroes that gave us action figures of everybody from  Daredevil to Deathlok.
