DC Multiverse Mcfarlane Batman & Ace The Bat- Hound

Image
I've had this for a while just haven't really messed around with it.  This version of Batman brings me back. The blue, yellow and black color scheme is my favorite. As far as Ace the Bat- Hound,  menzamenz. I'm not really familiar with him. He's OK looking. No articulation or removable accessories.  Aside from the extra hands and  batarang, you also get a wired cape. I wasn't a big fan of it, initially, but now I'm digging it. It takes a while to figure out how to manipulate it to look natural in pics but once you get it down it's a fun feature.  DC Multiverse Mcfarlane figures are pretty impressive, especially for the price. I haven't picked up many but the ones I have in my collection have been solid with no QC issues. It's too bad I'm not a big DC guy because there are sooo many figures in this line to choose from. Now that I think of it, maybe that's a goo...

GIJoe Classified Big Lob

I've always wanted a Big Lob action figure. Unfortunately, his first two figures were pricey mail-aways that I couldn't and still can't afford. Both were 3.75" scale and I ain't paying over $20 for anything that small. Hence the reason why I still haven't pulled the trigger on any Super 7 Joe O-Ring figures. It's a different story when it comes to Hasbro's Classified line. You're paying $30 to $40 bucks for a figure on average but with that comes quantity and quality. I'm good with that. Now if I could only find some in-store.  " Sometimes I dream, that he is me..."  🎶  I figured out where Bazookas animosity towards Big Lob stems from 🤔 

GIJoe Classified Law & Order

Image
I was just a kid when the animated GIJoe movie dropped in 1987. It was surreal watching GIjoe inside of a movie theater. Even cooler was the fact that we got to see some of our favorite Joe figures cartoon debut. Jinx, Tunnel Rat, Falcon and my favorite , Law & Order! Law being a Latino in the film was nice to see. Until then the only Spanish Joe, to my knowledge, was Zap Melendez.  I've said it before, these figures are works of art. I could see myself buying the majority of this line If I had the space. I think they are that impressive. That said, Classified has been cranking out figures at an astounding pace and because of that I now have a nice variety to cherry pick from. Law & Order are the newest additions to my collection.

More junk food for the brain! The Punisher Kills The Marvel Universe! I'll keep this in the stash and flip through it on a rainy day. 

1994 Marvel Superheroes Toybiz Punisher

Image
I managed to find this Toybiz Pun fig for a really good price mainly because of the hideous packaging.  I'd like to say that for it's time, trench coat Punisher was a cool figure. But let's be honest, Obi-Wan was sporting this fit back in '77. It's ok I guess. A little too tight to remove and I didn't want to risk tearing it so for now it stays on. One thing I love about these Toybiz figures is their shininess! The 90's kept it glossy with their action figures.  My Punisher action figure collection is taking shape. A few more key figures and I'll be content.
