2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

The final piece In the Orniphus trade package is a great one!G.I. Joe has all but fallen off the radar as of late.The 50th Ann. line were TRU exclusives.At least i think they were because they were nowhere to be found at my local Wal Marts and i don't recall seeing any at Target.Most of the figures came in two and three  packs ,making them almost un-purchasable to those of us who have a stricter budget. That's not to say that Hasbro didn't release some really nice figures in 2015,Zartan being one of them.50th Zartan came In the Vanishing Act three pack with Sightline and Torpedo.From what I've seen In reviews online,50th Zartan  Is a combination of the 25th  and the  25th Comic Series release.Looking over this figure,I realized that everything on It,from the sculpt and paint on down to the accessories and overall execution, Is almost perfect.The one feature I would have loved to have is the color changing skin effect of past versions.That would have put this guy over th

Another great DC character and figure,Orniphus sent me this awesome Multiverse Two Face figure.I'm not sure what the census around the inter-webs is  about this figure,but I like him.Looks must kill because the one half of Two Face Is so sharply dressed and decked out that the other half literally died.Actually,I'm not sure how Two-Face got to be the way he Is now but I'm pretty sure an acid bath may have had something to do with it. Isn't that always the way?I love this figure ,though,and he looks good on display.Thanks to Orniphus my DC collection is progressing. "Team captain,call It In the air !"  "...Heads It Is..." "...I mean tails..AAAAAAH!"

My first DC Super Powers figure comes by way of trade with Orniphus of  Coolandunusual,and I absolutely love It!I've been wanting to add some DC Super Powers figures to the collection for some time now.Mainly Firestorm,Braniac and Kalibak ,all figures I had as a kid.Who would have thought that Darkseid would be  the first to hang out among my small display of vintage figures.If you've followed some of my older blogs,you know that I'm not about overcrowding any one brand of  vintage figure ,and that's mainly because of how expensive that can be.Also,I feel that all  I really need are a few figures from each brand   to represent the line  when on display.I like to think of my vintage toy display as a compact,well rounded collection that offers a little bit of everything. And while I'm still behind In the game,with other classic  toy lines on my need list,this Darkseid might be the boost I needed to go out and snag up a couple more of these awesome Super Powers figures

One of the figures Orniphus sent over In a recent trade we completed was this DC Multiverse Joker.Had Mattel just added a little more grin to the face sculpt,this could have been a near perfect figure.I still like the figure alot and If you ask me,the semi smirk makes him look a little more demented.I don't think he came with any accessories,initially, but I've got alot of extra Joe weapons laying around and enough sharp instruments to satisfy even the nastiest clown faced sociopath .He's a bit taller than my Public Enemies Batman figure,but that's pretty much comic accurate.Joker Is  lanky and slender,  and that comes across well with this Multiverse figure.I think there's an Injustice 3 3/4 Joker that beats this one out but that's the only one that comes to mind.The Kenner Superpowers Joker was also a classic.This version Is nothing to write home about,but as you can tell from the pics,he gets the job done.

Batman Vs. Superman. Hmmm,should be a no brainer as to who comes out on top In that one right?A fight that should be over In about 15 minutes will be dragged out over the course of an hour long film  featuring Bats and Supes going at It on the big screen!I don't think there's been a showdown this long awaited since Ali vs. Frazier  , The Thrilla In Manilla. I'm no DC expert  but I'm pretty sure the Batman Vs. Superman scenario has already been played out In  the comics,correct me If I'm wrong.If not,then I guess we are all In for a big surprise.What shouldn't surprise us is the amount of  movie  related toys being released before the films grand opening.So far,even the higher end 6 inch stuff has been getting horrible reviews and for the sake of keeping things kid friendly,I won't  repeat what has been said about the lesser articulated 6 inch discount line on various toy sites and vlogs. First thing's first guys.This Is a toy.That's all It
