What I'm Reading

It's been a hectic couple of weeks. Work has been non-stop, although I am grateful for every minute of it. These days I barely have the time to sit back and write up a solid post about anything really. As a stay home dad, blogging used to feel like a therapeutic distraction. Working full time has filled that void and then some. Days off are spent splitting and making time for all of my passions -  making music/ gaming/ reading/ collecting/ blogging and most importantly my daughter. Blogging hasn't been very high on the priority list. I should do something about that 🤔  Anyways,  here's what I've been skimming through these past couple of weeks. 

This is actually issue #1 of an 8 issue series that Matt (Toy Box) sent me a little while back. I haven't gotten through it all but love what I've read so far. Elektra, if your out there, I'm single and have a really, really cool action figure collection 😉😉
The Infinity Gauntlet has been high on my wants list. This is the TPB featuring issues #1-6. 
TPB of Wolverines first solo series of comics created by Chris Claremount and Frank Miller! Wolverine fights a bear! A frigging bear!

This was more of a nostalgic pick up for me. This was my Thor growing up. It was fun looking through these and remembering each and every page! The one page that always stood out to me was Thor flying out of the dragons closed mouth, shattering its front teeth!

    Two summers ago I inherited a big comic book collection. It took me a few weeks to organize them, but I do remember seeing both of those TPB's. Maybe when I retire I'll get around to reading it.

    If you're a fan of Thor, I recommend issues 363 through 366. That's the story arc where he's turned into a frog.

    A little bit of everything. Love Hip Hop but have been messing around with R and B, Alternative rock and pop. It's just a hobby, not really great at it 😕

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.
