2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

I'm about three figures away from wrapping up posting about Derek's  gift box of action figure awesomeness!Saving the best for last!Here we have 1992 Toy-biz Marvel Super Heroes Human Torch.When Toy-biz began releasing Marvel action  figures In the early 90's,I was kind of bummed because I was just getting to that age where keeping and playing with your toys was frowned upon by pretty much every other "normal" and "cool" 15 year old.I can't front ,though,I loved the shit out of them!Not so much the obscure characters,but the main guys like Punisher,X-Men,Fantastic 4,Spider-Man, etc.It truly was a dream come true for kids who grew up with the limited cast of  Marvel Secret Wars figures of the 80's.The Human Torch Is a figure I would have loved to have as a kid and am happy to have now.Oh the fun I would have had starting pretend fires around the house with Flinging Fireballin' Human Torch in hand yelling "Stop,Drop and Roll Bi*%#!"Al

A much needed addition to the collection, Marvel Secret Wars Kang!I've had this guy on my watch list for some time now,but thanks to Derek, I can scratch him off of my need list.I'll  have to hunt down his sash/belt accessory,though.He will display nicely with my other Secret Wars figures.

I'm no DC aficionado ,but I am a little familiar with Sinestro. I know he's Green Lantern's main adversary and Is a pretty popular villain In the DC universe.I'm also familiar with this particular line   ,Infinite Crisis,D.C.'s answer to Marvel Universe or vice versa.I've always wanted to dive into this line because of  the sheer amount of characters and their 3 3/4 appeal.Derek may have yet again turned me on to something else.This Is the first of It's kind in my collection.and I really like It.He's not super articulated ,but articulated enough.He might be a bit smaller than 3 3/4 but the small,easy to  store,display and lug around sculpt Is very appealing.Below are some comparison shots of Sinestro next to some other popular 3 3/4 brands.

I've actually had this Megatron Mash Up lying around for about a week or so.I haven't  had  a chance to play with any of the new Transformers I've recently acquired  , but hopefully soon I'll be able to get to them and write up some posts.I found this Megatron at a local Big Lots on sale for about 8 bucks with a rewards card discount.Considering the  20 dollar eBay price tag,I was lucky to find him for such a good price in the wild.  

If you don't know who  Orniphus Is by now,shame on you. I've only mentioned him a little over 100 times this past week.And that's because about a week ago ,he sent me a truly awesome package with some real cool contents!I mean,It was 3 3/4 figure after 3 3/4 figure,lol!Here's his blog site  If anybody  wants to check out his work.Orniphus Is primarily a 3 3/4 action figure collector,artist and a good friend.Over the years he's kept up with my site and has a good Idea of what I collect and what my collection needs are.Hence these cool DC figures.I don't have many DC action figures so these guys I can appreciate.They're from a relatively inexpensive line and might be a nice starting point for me If I decide to add more.The Joker Is from a different line than Deathstroke ,but both lines are pretty comparable and don't look so out of place when displayed together.I sorely needed a Joker action figure and this one ,while a little over the top, will fill that
