    I had never heard of him till this post ,I also didn't know that Disney bought the Angels and changed the name from the Los Angeles Angels to the Anaheim Angels (yes I am very very behind).

    I'm glad to hear that ,Brother because that's the pretty much the purpose of these posts,to introduce those who may have never been fans or are just out of the loop to all of those pastime baseball heroes. Baseball is a huge part of our childhoods,even for those who didn't follow it.Chances are a glove was picked up at one point or another,or our dads were rambling under their breath about a close game,or a pack of cards was put in our hands to light the fuse.Even If most of the time they ended up on our bike spokes!

    I always liked Wally Joyner and he was such a good hitter.

      Solid.And he had a pretty lengthy career,too.A class act who produced consistently.

    Wally was the man back in 1987. I totally thought his rookie cards were going to help me retire early.

    Lol!Alot of collectors thought the same.Sadly,everything from 87 up to 92 was so overproduced,nothing from those eras really gained or even held value.

CT Toys - Spider-Man (Classic)

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...

1990 Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes Daredevil

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.
