MOTU Chronicles Trap Jaw

Image
Trap Jaw needs his own series. He's too great of a character to just be a lackey. It'd be cool if he had his own comic book series, giving us a window into his past. Trap Jaw issue #1! I'd buy it!  There have been TJ figures in the past but none, IMO, as scary looking as this one. His face is creepy AF! Love it! Mattel killed it with this Chronicles version.  The robotic arms range of motion is a little limited but you can still get some decent poses out of it. It's definitely better than the Core line version. Even if you're not a fan of MOTU but collect cool action figures, Trap Jaw is a cool action figure and absolutely worthy of a spot in your collection.

MOTU Chronicles Skeletor

Image
Just because the MOTU movie craze has died down doesn't mean I can't keep the party going with some kick ass Chronicles figures! Let's check out Skeletor!  Even though these are supposed to be  high end figures, there's something about them that feel a little bit off. For one, Skeletors head sculpt is great but the hood restricts movement. Trying to manipulate it to look up or down will sometimes result in the head popping off. That kind of blows. Also, make sure to pop those alternate hands on nice and tight to prevent them from coming off when posing. Not major deal breakers but something to be aware of.  Skeletors buck is painted in a cool, whitewashed blue that looks good in hand.  Here's the thing with MOTU Chronicles figures, they have lots of little details throughout but no black wash or shading to accentuate it. You have to see the figure up close to get the full effect. Everything from Skeletors armor to ...

(More) Recent Comic Book Pick Ups!

Image
Continuing my deep dive on Miles Morales, I picked up his most recent #1 issue.  (Front) (Back) The only thing that takes away from this Punisher FA Spider-Man reprint is the $4.99 price tag on the cover. This was definitely NOT $4.99 when originally released.  (Front) (Back)   I'm really wanting to read through this one. I'm assuming this is based on the old school Battle Beasts figures. If I like I'll be picking up the Volume 1 TPB.  (Front) (Back)

Recent Comic Book Pick Ups!

Image
I stated in earlier posts that I wanted to read up on Miles Morales to get a better feel for the character. I think I'm on the right track with this recent TPB Ultimate Comics Spider-Man. Included is Miles Morales first appearance in  Ultimate Fallout issue #4. Looking forward to reading this!  (Front) (Back) Much like the sports card collecting community, most of my comic book purchases on eBay always arrive with a couple of surprises. In this case, the seller was nice enough to include 3 free comics with my purchase. So cool!  (Front) (Back) (Front) (Back) (Front) (Back)

DC Multiverse Mcfarlane Golden Age Batman

Image
 I don't collect a ton of DC but Batman will always have a place somewhere in my collection. The other day while shopping at my local Walmart I found a few displaced DC Multiverse Mcfarlane action figures and Golden Age Batman was one of them.
