Recent Pick Ups!

So, I thought Marvel Select was an older product but I guess these figures ( Magneto and Wolverine) released last year. Either way, I love both of them! I'll go deeper into it in my next post. The Marvel Universe Professor Xavier figure was one I've been needing in my collection for some time and have finally gotten around to picking one up.

    I love the look of the Marvel Select packaging. I always thought it'd be cool to have a wall filled with a bunch of them.

      Agreed. They take up a lot of room but the artwork and packaging are fantastic.

      There's alot to like with Select figures. They are certainly not for everyone, though. Agreed, the overall presentation and added extras like display stands coupled with flashy boxart rocks!

    Marvel Select used to offer a lot more but they've reduced to a trickle - which is good cause it helps the wallet and they've been mostly awesome Uncanny X-Men figures.

      Yes! I'm loving the X- Men figures in this line among others.

    Marvel Select actually seems to keep their products in circulation, or at least re-release them from time to time, if they're good sellers. Would you believe that Wolverine was first released in 2009? I think Magneto is from 2011. They're cool, though, and they display really nicely.

    That's probably why I thought these were older figures. Thanks for the heads up. At least now I know I'm not crazy lol.

    I really like that MU Professor X. I got one but I did a head swap with the Matt Trakker figure from G.I. Joe, I planned it to be a civilian clothed Agent Chuckles but it looks old so now it's just a generic suit guy, looks like a president or something even kind of looks like the OCP VP from Robocop 1 somewhat.

    That body was also used with the special Rise of Cobra movie two-pack Destro, now with an even better, more fashionable pattern.


    Anyways, good haul Magneto looks fierce too! The most powerful mutant in the world.

    If I ever create my own superhero, his name will be " Generic Suit Guy" 😉 Yes, I'm absolutely crushing on Marvel Select right now.

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.
