2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

I'd like to take a little break from MOTU for a second to go over a line of action figures that have recently caught my eye. The truth is it's pretty hard NOT to see these as they are ubiquitous in department store toy aisles and shelves. It's only now that they've peaked my interest. Let's take a look at Hasbro's Marvel ActionVerse! I'll start off with Hasbro ActionVerse movie Spidey. I've come to terms with the fact that Hasbro will never again give us an accurately painted, webbing on costume, budget-friendly Spider-Man action figure. That's all good and gravy. I knew what I was getting into when I tossed this guy into my shopping cart.  The figure alone is a bit bland. The red and blue is a bit muted. It's the little extras that come with these ActionVerse figures that keep things interesting.  With every ActionVerse figure comes a T.M.N.T. like accessory tree. Every accessory has a ...

So, I finally watched the new Masters of the Universe movie on Prime and I liked it. Everyone was  celebrating Skeletor ( Jared Leto) but I think Trap-Jaw ( Sam C. Wilson) deserves just as much praise. Also, I was surprised at how much I liked Nick Galitzine as He-Man. He did a good job of transitioning from serious to comedic without the cringiness. Overall a great and nostalgic movie experience made even better by its accompanying line of action figures.  I didn't intend on picking up any Chronicles figures but ultimately caved because of how much  I liked the kid friendly core line. We kick things off with the films main character.  Right away you can see how movie accurate this figure is. Everything is pretty much spot on. The articulation is par for the course and what we've come to expect from upper tier 6 inch action figures.  My gripe is with the waist joint. There's a sm...

So, In order to expedite things I added a couple of different figures from various lines to give you an idea on how they'd look/fit in these Amazon VTOPMART display cases. You get ample space on the shelves included but I'd still recommend using stands for your  vintage Joe figures.  Vintage Transformers look decent, especially the mini cons. Larger figures would have to be displayed up front.  Of all these displays I think I like this one the best! Starting Lineups are such great little figures. They're fun to play with and look great when grouped together. I'm not sure why we haven't gotten reissues of these guys yet.  Marvel Minimates are almost too small for this display box. The same would go for Lego figs I would think. I don't know, I'm not liking it.  Funko Pops look good but your limited to three per display. Again, you can stack these so a killer display is totally possible here. You could...

In case anyone was thinking about possibly picking up some of these VTOPMART display cases, here's how a few of the larger figures in my collection display in them. You'd be hard pressed to fit your whole collection of Marvel Legends in any of these but you can certainly fit a few at a time. I'm dangerously close to buying more, possibly creating a wall of them seeing as how they're stackable. Not sure yet. We'll see!  (Motu Core) (Motu Origins) (Motu Power Attack)  (Motu Masterverse) (Star Wars 6" 40th Anniversary)  (Marvel Select) (Marvel Legends) (GI Joe Classified)
