MOTU Origins - Pig-Head

I can't make heads or tails of OLMEC Toys decision to make Sun-Man's archenemy a pig. TMNT predates OLMECS Rulers of the Sun line so maybe, possibly Pig- Head is just a derivative of Bebop. We'll never know. What I do know is that Pig-Head is a pretty damn cool action figure.
These Rulers of the Sun figures take me back to the early 80s, when knockoffs and bootlegs were prevalent.
I like that they went with a mace as the primary weapon. Weapons of precision (I. e. crossbow or sword) woudn't have made much sense for a bruiser like Pig-Head. 
I really like Pig-Head and for the price I think he's totally worth adding to your collection. More quick reviews and pics of ROTS MOTU Origins figures coming up so stay tuned!

CT Toys - Spider-Man (Classic)

CT Toys is heavy on my radar right now. I was pleasantly surprised with Wolverine but this Spider-Man figure has made me a full fledged believer. Included are 5 sets of alternate hands, 1 with magnets (6 in all if you count the ones he comes equipped with), 1 extra set of articulated feet with magnets, 4 web streams and an alternate McFarlane style head sculpt. Oh, and a display stand.  I've said in the past how sucky I am at posing action figures. That said, MAFEX/CT figs are great for posing, even if you're not very good at it. It's "kid gloves" with these guys, though, as they are a little gummier than Legends figures.  CT Toys Wolvie and Spidey!  Here's CT Toys Spidey next to a couple of Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures. The differences are pretty pronoun...

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.
