2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

It's been a few years since the initial release of these Iron Man 2 movie series figures.Although Chris Mapp reported seeing them recently on the shelves of his local Wal Mart,I haven't seen them anywhere,except for eBay and online toy store  sites. The majority of these have been scalped up and are being resold on ...wait... ..I guess eBay doesn't apply. I can only assume that the only reason i got these so cheap was because of their packaging being all warped and bent out of shape.Water damage maybe?idk.Luckily the figures seem to be mint in package.  Taking a look at the figure out of the packaging.I like the stylish figure stand with insert-able armor cards.Always have.As for the figure?I like it alot more than i thought i would.I passed these up many times because 1)the internet was being pummeled with reviews on these Iron Man figures.So much so that it had a reverse effect on me,ultimately leading me to  not wanting to pick  the figure ...

Tah dah!See,I told you nothing big.By now you guys have all probably seen millions of reviews for these figures because they've been out since what ,2009?I never got around to adding any of them to my collection and have regretted it for a long time.Originally I only set out to pick up the Mark VI but when I saw all of them together ,selling for about 4 bucks a piece ,I had to snag them up.I remember these being on clearance at one point,and even then I failed to pick any up.Sometimes ,you think something will be around long enough to grant you a second chance at It ,until you realize that no,that's not always the case.I'll be taking these out of their packaging and snapping pics of them these next couple of days ,so stay tuned!

Actually,front porch goodies.The package was too big for the mail slot.I'm pretty excited about this particular  item/items  because I was able to kill off a few birds with one stone.I got a good deal on this and hopefully I didn't get a bad batch of figures.They aren't new releases or what's hot out there today but I really needed them In my Marvel Universe collection.If you'd like to take a guess at what you think might be in the box  ,go right ahead in the comment section.

Got this guy cheap on the bay and considering how rough these Daredevils usually look ,this one's not that bad.If you weren't aware,this particular figure's paint has been known to run,some call it bleeding because of the color.You can't tell from the pic but mine has lighter shaded arms and legs that faded over time.Do not ,i repeat do not try to take a wet rag to your Secret Wars Daredevil figure .It will actually begin to rub off.I find it strange that this is ,presumably,the only figure in the line that does this.On the positive side,he still has the majority of his DD emblem. Here is my collection as it stands now.

A while back, friend and fellow toy blogger   Mr.Smith created The Round Robin Social Media Challenge.A challenge that involved one person picking a topic for everyone else  to post about. The first person to post their entry got to choose the next weeks topic.I'd like to get that ball rolling again.I want to start this off by stating that you are in no way shape or form obligated to participate.One of the cool things about Round Robin is that there are no rules,meaning we can take months off from it if we choose to.And we did just that.But this is good because it gives us all a chance to regroup and refresh our minds with ideas and future Round Robin topics.My good buddy Brother Midnight made a good point ,saying that it was starting to become almost chore like ,and it was.But i can't lie,there seemed to be alot more cross communicating and interaction when Round Robin was around. You might be wondering why I'm posting this on a Wednesday as opposed to the beginning ...

Another day,another Captain America figure.Captain America is alot like Snake Eyes when It comes to  contemporary action figures.You'd be hard pressed to find another character with as many figure releases. They both have a ton of  figures with different costume variations and pair well with motorcycles.I almost picked this online for  12 dollars but was happy to find one at Gamestop for about six bucks!An articulated Captain America action figure w/ shield and motorcycle for $6?All day!  It's a pretty nice looking set.The motorcycle is nothing to write home about .I would have liked a star somewhere on the chassis but i guess i can remedy that by placing his shield on the handlebars.Everything is plastic on it,including the wheels.   The figure has decent articulation.All the important ones,anyways.He is missing wrist and abdomen articulation but can twist at the waist. The rest is there,rocker ankles ,etc. Eventually i will get ar...

Picked this up on clernse at my local Gamestop for about 6 bucks.I've been wanting an updated Captain America figure so this was good find for me.I'll have pics later on tonight or tomorrow.Stay tuned!
