I Feel Stronger All of a Sudden...

                    Could It be all these M.U.S.C.L.E.'s!?! Yeah ok It's not that many but more than what I use to have.Brother Midnight hooked It up with some mini figure goodness and I thank him for It!I got rid of my last two a while back and regretted It instantly.A vintage toy display without any M.U.S.C.L.E. is just weak ;)

Marvel Infinite Series - Black Cat

I've been trying to switch It up a little here on 2 Minute Toy Break.Fooling around with different backgrounds has proven to be fun but I'm not completely sold on It yet. Big Manila over at  The Collector's Lens  just gave me the inspiration I needed to go ahead and build a full blown light box.What I'm using now Is a normal box with the colored sheets of paper behind the figures.All I have to do now Is cut a couple sides out,add the tissue paper and It should be set.I don't know about you but I have to try new things in order to stay interested.Sometimes ,a new figure will inspire me like that Palisades Kermit ,and then I run with it.So be prepared for a lot of different backgrounds and pic variations for these next couple of posts.I went with an orange background for Black Cat but It looks more like a yellow In the pics.Oh well.

I still haven't gone through half  the stuff  that was inside of that awesome Brother Midnight trade package.While I still have alot to get to,this was the item I wanted to give special attention to. A while ago,I changed our toy forums background ,electing to go with one of my favorite Brother Midnight pics,Kermit In his Indiana Jones get up strolling through the woods.So imagine my surprise after finding that very same Kermit action figure In the the trade package,complete!Normally,this Isn't a figure I'd go after because of how expensive they tend to be.But that's not to say that I wouldn't want one.It's figures like this that make photographing fun.In fact,this figure  inspired me so much that I decided to get fancy with a little backdrop and some lighting for this series of pics.I really love this figure ,but I don't see myself chasing  down any  other from the line to dedicate a display on my shelf for It.For now I will leave him boxed and on display s
