A quick pivot from action figures to comic books, these are my most recent additions. Actually, the first issue is an older pick up, the rest are newly added. Looking forward to reading through these!
Great stuff. Even though I don't go out of my way to buy them, I enjoy collecting them when they're cheap. I especially have a soft spot for 80's and 90's ones with cool covers.
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...
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.

ReplyDeleteI agree, Jigs.
DeleteI regret parting ways with my complete run.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had kept my childhood collection. I can't even remember what I did with them 😔
