Ain't No Party Like A Darth Vader Party

No, it's not Darth Vader's birthday. This isn't a Star Wars anniversary post. It's not even a special occasion. This is  just me coming to the realization that I have a thing for Darth Vader. Darth Vader action figures, that is. Everytime I see one in the wild I'm compelled to insert said figure into my shopping cart. Because of this, I now have a small collection of Darth Vader figures.

    Focused character collections are always fun. Can't wait to see how this evolves.

    The crazy thing is that there aren't many versions of Darth Vader to collect 😐 He's always looked the same.

    That carded Vintage Collection figure is sweet! I rarely pick up figures anymore, but if I saw that on a peg, I'd grab it.

      That's where I am right now. I won't actively seek out Vader figs, but If I see one in the wild I'm snagging it up!

    All of the stuff is long gone now, but I had a small DV collection back in the late 90's. As one of the all-time great villains, he's an easy choice to want to collect.

      As a kid I felt bad when Luke killed him in that final fight scene. It would have been nice for them to join forces.

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

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.
