2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

I thought Spyda from  20 Years Before 2000  fame might get a kick out of this awesome 90's comic book ad !He's a big Bo Jackson fan and chances are ,he's already posted this pic on his other site ,  The More You Bo  .If you haven't already,go check out both sites!Good stuff!

I recently received my package containing 17  issues of  Wonder Man 1991 -94!This was a series I wanted to get into as a kid but only managed to  pick up the two titles you see below.I don't know what happened.I must have lost interest.I do remember really loving the character.Wonder Man came off as being kind of  aloof  and arrogant In the comics,some-timing as a Hollywood actor.He was kind of a lone wolf and that was something I gravitated towards when It came to comic book heroes and villains that appealed to me.I can't wait to read through these again and give you guys a little more insight into one of Marvels', IMO,most underrated heroes.

The great thing about recollecting things from your past Is being able to flash right back to the exact moment you first acquired them.With comics,you get to narrow it down to the specific months and years!Silver Surfer was a series I tried  to buy monthly ,as they released.I remember getting pretty hooked on the storyline and wanting to read every issue but only being able to acquire the first 4 .Comic shop visits were sparse as the only person who knew where all the shops were was my sisters boyfriend at the time.He would always find the time to pick me up for trips to the Arcade,Toys R Us and LCS.One of those trips to the LCS resulted in the acquisition of this baby right here.... Marvel Silver Surfer #1 1987 (Front) Marvel Silver Surfer #1 1987 (Back) I can remember making one more trip to that same shop looking for issue number 5 and the shop owner telling me he didn't have It.I subsequently gave up on  the search and moved on to other titles.Still,nothing b...

Whenever I find myself with a little downtime,I go to the old toy room and reflect.I reflect on alot of things.Why do I have so many toys?Why Is It so damn hot outside?Why do I complain about the heat when In the winter time all I did was  pray for summer to get here?Today I got to thinking about a Jason Vorhees / Snake Eyes matchup.Or,not even a match up but just a comparison.Both have a lot in common.Jason wears a  mask to cover his hideous appearance.So does Snake Eyes. They're both silent and can sneak up on you when and where you least expect it.Both carry a sword .Well Jason carries a machete .Same shit.1982 marked the first time Jason donned his trademark hockey mask In Friday The 13th part 3.So you make the call.Did the creators of G.I. Joe have Jason Vorhees In mind when they created Snake Eyes? This Is the original Sunbow cartoon version of Snake Eyes.More militarized ,before the ninja motif took off.But damn It If that head design doesn't resemble a hockey ...

There was a time when I could easily fill three of these shelves with modern Joe figs.Sadly,this Is what my collection looks like today.Alot of the figures I used to have got sold or traded off In order for me to amass my Marvel Universe collection.Now that I am somewhat content with my Marvel Universe collection ,I'm going back to  collecting modern Joes.The Rise of Cobra line Is still high on my wants list.Yes,the movie was crappy ,but there Is something that has to be said about It being the first live action G.I. Joe film.That ,in my eyes,makes not only the film and figures significant,but all the misc. merch that was also subsequently released. As you can see,the first two rows are  figures from the Rise of Cobra line .There are still some figures from that line that I'd like to add at some point like Scarlett,Breaker and Destro just to name a few. In the back there's a mix of  25th Ann.,Pursuit of Cobra and Retaliation movie figures.New additions coming soon!...
