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.
Sweet display!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing Warpath and Powerglide. I remember having both of those guys sitting on my toy shelf as a kid.
ReplyDeleteThat's an excellent 1980s display! FUN FACT: I'm actually finishing up Treading The Tommyknockers right now and there is a reference to G.I. Joe figures in the book, with Crystal Ball and Snake Eyes being specifically named. Crystal Ball seems out of left field as a mention but King and possibly his son, Owen, helped to develop the figure in some way.
ReplyDeleteAwesome little nugget of info there ,BBQ 👍 I remember my sister taking me to the store to buy Crystal Ball. She told me he looked a little like Vincent Price. At the time I had no clue who he was but now I see the resemblance!
DeleteAn absolutely fantastic display of goodness.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys!
ReplyDeleteThis is the sort of thing that needs to become a trend!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! More shelfies, please!

ReplyDeleteThat was my aim. I wanted to group all the icons together.
