It's Been A Long Time...I Shouldn't Have Left You...On Card!

I've held out long enough. Toy pick ups have been  few and far between so I'm finally going to crack open my Marvel Legends 3.75 Retro figures! I'm going to try something different , though. I'll be carefully cutting out a small opening at the top of the blister to see If I can slide the figure out. Hopefully both the figure and card will come out of this unharmed. I'll let you guys know how it goes!

    I came so close to ordering a set of these... just to hang them up in my classroom. They're gorgeous.

    That they are, Fuji. Hopefully I can remove the figures without doing too much to the awesome cardbacks.

      Get a bottle of acetate, and use a paint brush to spread it around the edges of the bubble, using an exacto knife to gently lift it up, and using more acetate in the newly created hole. The acetate will eat the glue. The exacto will create new areas to apply more. It takes time, but you'll have a clean card with no rips or tears if done slowly and carefully enough.

      I was gonna go in from the top of the blister with an exacto knife 🤣 Remind me to never go into the medical field 🤪

      I'm looking forward to placing them next to some of my Star Wars figures in comparison.

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.
