2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

While I wait for my recently shipped Diamond Select order to arrive, I figured I'd show off some of the ones I already own. 

Sorry I haven't been doing much in depth posting. Lately I've been putting in alot of hours at work as we've been hit with the Covid bug. Luckily I escaped it but a few coworkers weren't so lucky. Because of our staff shortage I've had to open and close the store which means I'm the first one there and the last one out. But I wanted, quickly, to go over a line of figures that I've been picking up alot of lately, Marvel Select.         With me, I like to be different. I hate going after the " in thing" when it comes to action figures. I almost always go against the grain, choosing to chase toy lines most collectors avoid or don't have much to say about. So I guess you could say that it was Marvel Legends insane popularity that drove me right into the arms of Marvel Select. Don't get me wrong, Marvel Legends has tons to offer, but there's something about Select that sets them apart.          With earlier Marvel Select figures,...

If you haven't been over to  GIJigsaw's  site to check out his awesome custom action figure artwork, I suggest you do so. Recently Jigs put the word out and gave readers of his site the chance to pick out 4 characters from any action figure line to be immortalized on canvas and I chose a few Mattel Marvel Secret Wars classics!  Jigs even added the lightning bolt to the deep blue background, staying true to the vintage card art!  The colors used match the figures perfectly! Even Dr. Doom got the metallic silver treatment. Black suit Spidey!!! I'm really digging these and appreciate the "First Four" freebie deal! Jigs completely knocked it out of the park and It's cool to know that I have the first series of Mattel Marvel Secret Wars figure paintings! Many thanks Jigs💥 This was truly a thoughtful and kind gesture on your part and I will forever be indebted 🙏

Damn you Hasbro for making action figure cardbacks cooler than the actual action figures! I'm torn between keeping these amazing Marvel Legends retro 3.75 figures carded and removing them from the packaging. I've already paid scalper prices for them so picking up doubles of these figures is out of the question. I've been brainstorming different ways to open the packaging in a way that I could possibly put the figures back in the bubble to  hang  up for display. It'd be cool If someone invented a perforated back where you could remove the figure from the back and keep the front in tact.
