2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

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. 

Here's a closer look at my recent Pick ups out of the packaging. I like head sculpt on the Skywalker figure. It's clean and the overall figure is solid. The Storm Trooper is pretty great, too. The one thing I'm noticing are the holes on the arms of the Storm Trooper.  Darth Vader has them as well. I'm wondering if they'll be releasing a weapons pack or a deluxe figure set with additional accessories that plug into the arms. It's a possibility.  Either way, the holes don't bug me much. The last Pic is for comparison. Pictured with the Epic Heroes figures are vintage  Kenner Lando and Leia. 

The evergreen 4" Epic Heroe Series has branched out and is now offering select Star Wars action figures. I haven't seen many on the pegs but managed to find the baddest black man in outer space,  Darth Vader! With this EHS line your getting a kid friendly action figure with limited articulation and 1 to 2 accessories. Pretty much a glamourized happy meal toy.                                                                    

Nothing like a thirst quenching, ice cold Robocop pop on a hot, 80 degree April day!  I'm having a great time with these Funko Vinyl soda can blind bags. I have to be honest, though. Had it not been for the extra shelving in my kitchen I probably wouldn't give these a second look. Now, they fit right into my kitchen deco! I was surprised to see that the Darth Vader figure is actually a bobblehead. I think they're doing that with the newer POP figures as well. 

We'll be taking a look at this a little later on ;)
