Two sorely needed figures have been crossed off the list.I can finally move on from these two and focus on the other MU figures that are currently on my want list.
The list of MU figures on my want list is an extensive one.I still need Juggernaut,Storm,Nightcrawler,Rhino,Magneto,Wonder Man and the real Nick Fury.But yeah,these two were long overdue.
Loved these- had collected many before I gave up- still keep a huge tote full, on card still- see the Marvel Universe tag on my blog sidebar for an eyeful!
CT Toys is heavy on my radar right now. I was pleasantly surprised with Wolverine but this Spider-Man figure has made me a full fledged believer. Included are 5 sets of alternate hands, 1 with magnets (6 in all if you count the ones he comes equipped with), 1 extra set of articulated feet with magnets, 4 web streams and an alternate McFarlane style head sculpt. Oh, and a display stand. I've said in the past how sucky I am at posing action figures. That said, MAFEX/CT figs are great for posing, even if you're not very good at it. It's "kid gloves" with these guys, though, as they are a little gummier than Legends figures. CT Toys Wolvie and Spidey! Here's CT Toys Spidey next to a couple of Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures. The differences are pretty pronoun...
Growing up we had lots of cool superhero toys to collect. There was never a shortage of Batman, Superman or Spiderman figures in the toy aisles. Mainstream characters got all the love. Dudes like Daredevil, not so much. That all changed in the mid to late 80's (Mattel Secret Wars) and in 1990 Toy Biz would start releasing their seemingly neverending line of Marvel Superheroes that gave us action figures of everybody from Daredevil to Deathlok.
I can´t believe I got these before you did! And down here!!! HAHA

ReplyDeleteHow do you not get tempted to open those suckers up?!?!They have been pretty much my favorite modern figures to date.
