I've been doing some rearranging with my daughter coming down to stay with me for the summer. Naturally, my toys come with me to my room, safe from hot curling irons and blow dryersπ
Have fun with your daughter this summer. I discovered taking down a shelf of figures is kind of therapeutic. A few weeks ago, I took down my Star Wars shelves. Along the way I dusted the shelves, cleaned the figures and Lego sets, consolidated three shelves into two, and rearranged the stuff. It took several hours, but it was so satisfying.
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.
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...
Sounds like as good of a reason as any to "secret" away your toys :)

ReplyDeleteThanks, Fuji! And so true! I think that's what I like the most about action figure collecting and that's displaying them.
DeleteThat set up looks like it's going to be epic.
ReplyDeleteIt should! Thanks, Jigsπ
