2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

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. 

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.

A quick pivot from action figures to comic books, these are my most recent additions. Actually, the first issue is an older pick up, the rest are newly added. Looking forward to reading through these! 

It took me long enough but I've finally added an E.T. figure to my collection. NECA did a good job with this figure, including accessories representing key moments from the movie. The Speak & Spell is an actual representation of the 70s tech most of us had as kids. We didn't need no stinking I-Pads. Speak & Spell and Wooly Willie were our tablets. Someone needs to release a life size replica of these flowers. I'd buy!  My only gripe, and it's a small one, is the generic peanut butter Reese's Pieces.  Here's E.T. next to 6 inch Star Wars Black figures of Han Solo and Chewbacca. Stay tuned to 2 Minute Toy Break to catch my  next couple of posts which will feature some of my most recent comic book pick ups and more action figures! 

How do you guys keep it nerdy? 

Not gonna lie. I don't think I ever got to play as Roo in any Streets of Rage game. I think he was an unlockable player. I can't remember. I should Google it. Either way, Jaaks Pacific took on the task of producing a highly articulated boxing Kangaroo and did a decent job of it.  I'm really digging the sculpt work on all of these Jaaks figures. Judging from all the weird, moving parts in the legs of a kangaroo, I think Jaaks did a pretty good job with Roo.  It took me a little while to figure out the leg articulation but I was able to finally get Roo into some pretty cool poses.  Here's Roo sparring with GI Joe Classified Big Boa. That just about wraps up my Jaaks Pacific posts. Stay tuned as I've got some things on the way that I'll be showing once they arrive.
