2 Targets And 2 Wal Marts Later...


I ended up finding one of the figures I was on the hunt for (Superman) and the other  pick-up (Target Exclusive Batman) was more of an impulse buy. Looking at the packaging label, It seems as If these are two separate lines under the same umbrella. The Caped Crusader , Batman themed  line seems to be the one most available at retail while the Heroes Unite line, consisting of various DC heroes and villains,  Is nowhere to be found. At least In my neck of the woods. I hopped online last night and picked up a couple of the Heroes Unite figures on eBay and had an offer declined on the Flash figure. That fucker wanted $15.99 for  figure that sells for $7.99 at Target! I offered $13 but he wasn't havin' It. What Is It with The Flash, anyways? Why are all of his figures so friggin' expensive? I mean, he's just....fast. Batman has no powers at all and Is still 20 times cooler than the Flash and more affordable In action figure form. Anyways, loose pics of these two forthcoming.

    I'm not 100% sure... but maybe the thing with Flash has to do with the show. I know some of my students are really into that show... while I'm more of a Green Arrow (tv show) kind of guy.

      Thanks, Fuji. I thought about that,too. I have yet to watch any of the DC shows but have to at some point. I lied. I watched and liked Supergirl to a certain extent but never finished It.

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.

CT Toys - Wolverine (Brown Comic Version)

I usually don't do bootleg action figures,  especially after my bad Spiderman Legends experience. That guy ultimately ended up in the trash. I took the chance on this CT Toys Wolverine figure on the strength of YouTube and positive eBay reviews. Glad I did!  CT Toys ( MAFEX) hits different. The character specific colored box art and design are displayed prominently on all sides of the packaging and has the look and feel of an oversized NES video game. If that makes any sense. The overall presentation screams 80's Marc Silvestri. You get a lot here. Three sets of hands ( including attached set) , two head sculpts, hanging removed cowl and a display stand. It's pretty insane. Also,You won't have to worry about bruised fingertips or adversely bending your action figure when extracting.Wolverine and contents can be removed and replaced easily due to the loose fitting plastic figure and accessory...
