1990 Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes Daredevil

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.

Go! Games and Toys

Image
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...

At The Corner Store

Image
Ooooh,this is a good one!Corner stores.What would we,as kids,have done without em'!Corner stores were our gas stations.Where we would go to fuel up on junk food at the midway point of our  day.On the way there we would reflect on how things  had gone so far and speculate on what might or should happen next.Jokes were  told,friends were clowned and many a fart was laid. I think It was one of those things where the journey was more  enjoyable  than the destination.After all,we were free!Like Toy Box mentioned In his Round Robin post,back In the days there were no terror threats,Ebola outbreaks or ballsy pedophiles on the prowl.We all came from the same hood so everybody knew everybody and all the crazies knew better than to mess with anybody's kids.Corner store visits was our time to walk the streets on our own,free of any parental guidance.The sidewalks were ours to speed on with our bikes and skateboards.Parks,even if chained up,always had a weak link and a...

Here There Be Monsters

Image
For this weeks challenge,seeing as how Halloween Is right  around the corner ,I decided to choose  a few figures from my collection  that would creep me out the most If I were to see them in real life.These guys don't need masks for Halloween this year because they are the mask!They all have monster faces that can't be taken off at the end of  a hard evil crime committing day.They wake up like this.So here they are In no particular order... You might remember Hordak from the old show Welcome Back Kotter,wait a minute  ,yeah no  that was Horshack,my bad. Moving right along.  Hordak Is by far the scariest looking figure In my collection,and he stands out because of it. He leads his army of Horde troopers against She-Ra In the old Filmation cartoon series.He Is the leader of the Evil Horde and very angry right now because he seems to have misplaced his red cape.We'll leave him alone and move on to the next abomination.     ...
