2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

More Minimates! It goes to show you how uninterested I am with anything currently being sold in the toy aisles. Plus, everything seems to be going up in price. I miss the days of $7.99 3 3/4 action figures😒 But I digress.  My latest Minimates pick ups were must haves for my small but growing collection. Hulk SMASH! and Punisher kicks ass!

The Shelf Of Badass is slowly starting to take shape. I've got some other figures in mind that I'd like to add to the mix at some point. Meanwhile... Rick Grimes was  way too badass to be displayed alongside Snake's and co. so he gets his very own space. Plus, he didn't scale as well next to the 6" figs. But who cares. This figure kicks ass and you know what that means? Yup, more Walking Dead figures! Coming soon!

The more I look at this shelf, the more I realize I need a Rick Grimes and Daryl figure to add to it! Anybody have any suggestions? I'm not even sure If they have any that would fit the scale. 

This is my shelf of bad ass! It will be strategically populated by Punisher, Wolverine, Snake Eyes and the occasional Batman figure. Notice the empty space next to Snake Eyes? I've got a Legends figure on the way to remedy that😉 Stay tuned!

The Marvel Superheroes ToyBiz line of figures was a dream come true for  fans of the brand. Yeah , Mattel gave us  a nice assortment of  3.75 figures, with the Secret Wars line, but a very limited one. If you liked The Punisher as much as I  did as a kid then you were pretty much as stoked with the release of this figure.  The cap firing mechanism was a little bit of an eye sore  but considering this was the first Punisher action figure ...EVER... It just wasn't that big of a deal. Also , correct me If I'm wrong, but I think this marked the first time an action figure was ever coupled with a cap gun gimmick.  The ToyBiz line was so popular that Hasbro decided to pay homage  by releasing a set of Legends figures with similar cardbacks. Now that I look at the two side by side ,they aren't that similar. What do you guys think? Here's the Punisher, unarmed, yet and still very dangerous! As a kid , this Is what I loved th...

I recently got some birthday cash from the parentals and decided It was time to scratch that damn Punisher itch that I haven't been able to successfully get rid of . And that damn Series 4 figure! Well ,read on .... I was pretty excited to get another V.4 Punisher figure . I thought for sure this one would be a keeper . I was wrong :(  The messed up part about the whole thing Is that the leg worked great ! This time It was his shoulder joint  . The previous owner must have crazy glued It in place because It just wouldn't move . Also , you could tell where the glue was applied because there was goop everywhere . So , yeah , this one's going back . And ,yes , another one is on the way.        This purchase was a success  . My first Legends figure ! Actually , I haven't taken him out of the packaging yet so my fingers are crossed .  Down below you'll notice the dreaded v.4  figure. I managed to snap this pic of...

If you read my last post , then you know how disappointed I was with Marvel Universe Series 4 Punisher . It was kind of a bittersweet thing as the sculpt and overall aesthetics of the figure rocked  while the functionality did everything but . I may have come across cool in my post but inside I was nerd raging . I tend to flip out when shit like that happens ,hence the cutting of his leg holster strap . Which ,afterwards , I totally regretted because there's nothing I hate more than messing with the integrity of an action figure . Even with that leg strap cut , the left leg just kept coming off whenever I'd try to pose him . I ended up trying to to tighten the leg joint by adding a little Gorilla Glue but didn't expect  it to dry white ! I kick myself , again . Now I was  stuck with a defective ,otherwise great looking , Punisher action figure with a cut holster strap and visible white goop all over the left leg joint . I couldn't even bring myself to look at the figure...

Lately I've been finding some really great deals on Marvel Universe figures . I've been wanting this Punisher figure forever and finally found one for $8 and some change  ,brand new In packaging.It's gonna be a long time before another one gets listed at that low price as most sell for about $30 bucks on eBay. I was a happy camper and couldn't wait for the figure to arrive. And here It is... You're probably thinking this Is the perfect Punisher figure , much like I was . He comes with a great assortment of weapons ,has a great head sculpt and comes with a crappy little comic shot. The problems began once I got him out of the packaging.  You can't tell from the pic but I actually had to cut the right leg strap around the back In order to properly pose his leg. And then ,as I was posing the figure ,the leg fell off completely . It's a terrible quality control issue that should have been remedied before release. What a fucking damper ...
