And Now, These Messages...

Taking another break from the world of  Funko POP! , here's a line I've been contemplating getting into for a while now. I finally pulled the trigger on a couple of the two packs and I think I'll be picking up more. These little figures might have a Lego vibe to them but they are far from. They stand taller and have way more mobility. Every figure comes with their own stand, unique to their ability. Characters like Captain America, Iron Man and Daredevil can also remove their cowl/helmet to reveal their secret identity. Extra sets of hands, heads and little accessories make these figures a blast to unpack and play with. Their pose-abilty also allows for some really cool pics! The box-art is bright and even though we all pretty much know their background stories, there is a brief bio for each character on the back. Diamond Select always adds little panflips and advertisements to their product and I really like that. More toy companies should follow suit. In conclusion,  Marvel Minimates kick ass and I'd like to have about 70 of them displayed somewhere in my limited living space. Stay tuned for more!

    I've seen a few of these before, but didn't realize they were as detailed as this. A shelf with a bunch would definitely be cool.

    I always liked these but never liked the heads. Still, it seems they have enough accessories to change them up.

    I feel you. The blockiness of these figures can be a turn off, but the articulation and character selection makes up for it imo.

Go! Games and Toys

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

A GI Joe Post That's Not Classified

Image
As much as I love the Classified line of Joe figures, I feel like there's other Joe stuff out there that deserve a little bit of that spotlight.   Pictured are two custom cardback figure protectors and four Diamond Select 💎  GI Joe figures.   I'd been looking for a way to protect my stashed 3.75  o-ring Joe's when I came across these online. I picked up William Perry's and Snake Eyes protectors and will be adding more as they are made available.   These are unpunched, clean and professional looking cardbacks that feature vintage artwork  on the front and file card on the back.  Diamond Select just doesn't get the props they deserve in my opinion. As much as I dig  their Marvel Minimates line, these Joe Minimates are equally cool! I'm not even sure I want to open these guys up. I mean I want to, but would hate to.
