Back To Blogging About Toys!

I know these figures have probably been shown in the past and TWD is kind of a thing of the past. But, not for me it ain't 😉 I'm so digging these figures right now!  I've always been a fan of McFarlane and his sports related figures and these have that same feel, only with more articulation. The amount of detail is insanely cool on these Walking Dead figures. You'll find yourself looking them over, once in hand and out of the packaging, for little logos and other telltale signs specific to each character. I joked about it with GI Jigsaw, when I asked him If he had stuffed the real actors in the box because of how big the package was. But looking at the 3d printed sculpts ,it seems I wasn't that far off. These figures look amazing and Rick Grimes here is no exception. 


Thanks again, GI Jigsaw💥💥💥

Next time....

    I think the first McFarlane figures I saw were the Spawn ones and I've been impressed with their products ever since. This figure is no exception. My favorite thing about it is the pistol fits in the holster. For some reason... I've always thought that was a cool feature with action figures.

      Canseco was the one McFarlane sports figure I always wanted but they never made it. I think they were on the verge of releasing one in his White Sox uni but that never happened.And yes, working pistol holsters are a must If your looking for any kind of realism in your action figure line.

    I remember when I saw the very first episode. I was hooked and I never was a fan of the zombie genre. Andrew Lincoln did a fantastic job as Rick Grimes..

    Same here. I watched a doc on the whole zombie craze in the mid to late 90s and into the 2000s and surprisingly Resident Evil never came up. I think that game was one of if not the catalyst in reviving the zombie genre.

    I haven't watched in a season or two but this show was/is so good and so big. The characters are great so seeing treatments by McFarlane is perfect. They do such good work. Rick of course was front and center. Really enjoyed this show and him as a character.

Go! Games and Toys

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

A GI Joe Post That's Not Classified

Image
As much as I love the Classified line of Joe figures, I feel like there's other Joe stuff out there that deserve a little bit of that spotlight.   Pictured are two custom cardback figure protectors and four Diamond Select 💎  GI Joe figures.   I'd been looking for a way to protect my stashed 3.75  o-ring Joe's when I came across these online. I picked up William Perry's and Snake Eyes protectors and will be adding more as they are made available.   These are unpunched, clean and professional looking cardbacks that feature vintage artwork  on the front and file card on the back.  Diamond Select just doesn't get the props they deserve in my opinion. As much as I dig  their Marvel Minimates line, these Joe Minimates are equally cool! I'm not even sure I want to open these guys up. I mean I want to, but would hate to.
