2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

It's that time of year again!The air turns a little crisper and the leaves on the trees more brittle.Big yellow school buses with  outstretched Stop signs congest what used to be  free flowing summer traffic and the days become shorter.Funny how as a kid I hated the first day of school.Just the thought of It filled my stomach with uncontrollable vomit inducing butterflies. All of my favorite shows interrupted by stinky back-to-school commercials and bouts of  anticipatory anxiety  on Sundays.Look It up,It's actually a thing.Today,as a parent ,I can appreciate the change of pace.It takes a little getting used to but after the first week or so you're back into the swing of things.Collecting takes a backseat,pretty much,well for me anyways.Things like lunch money,school supplies and fund raisers  always take precedent this time of year and lets not forget about the old gas tank.Taking and picking up your kid from school ,practice,dances and assemblies  quickly...

Sorry for the lack of posts and the fact that  I haven't had the chance to swing by your sites and leave any  comments .This time of year gets kind of hectic with school starting up again.School supplies and clothing takes precedent over action figures.I have peaked In at a few sites quickly but not long enough to leave any meaningful comments.Things should get back up to speed soon,though.Wish me luck!

I brought my old school ,well not that old school, analog television set upstairs from my basement!I've already jammed out on my Sega and now It's time to hook up the ol' PS1 .I haven't seen what a PS1 game looks like on one of these models In years!Tonight,we remedy that with another go round of Resident Evil Directors Cut!Not only that but I will be using the original controller to boot ;)I've heard that PS1 games look better on these sets than on the newer flat screens.We shall see!!!! UPDATE I was truly amazed at how great  PS1 games look on this old SANYO  television set.Not only did the picture look great ,but the sound was incredible.Can you think of a better way to spend your Sunday night?In your toy room ,surrounded by action figures ,comic books and baseball cards while playing Resident Evil In the dark!!!O.K. you probably can.In fact I'm pretty sure you guys spent your Sunday doing something way more exciting.I'm a simple man,though,and t...

I have been wanting to represent the Street Fighter franchise In my toy collection for some time now,but haven't found the right toy line to implement that.The G.I. Joe Street Fighter line Is a great one but I wanted something that I could mix into my 3.75 universe of modern action figures.I've come close to picking up Jazzware's figures but I've heard the quality on those kind of suck.Recently ,Hasbro has  released figures under the "Gamerverse" tag based on the Marvel Vs. Capcom fighting game franchise.Well two sets ,anyways.Luckily,one of those figures released was Ryu,and I was able to snag one up on ebay. Very seldom do 3.75 figures come with alternate hands. Ryu comes with two  fists and a set of Hadoken hands!It'd be nice If more 3.75 figs got this same treatment. Overall ,this Is a great figure.The flesh tones scattered throughout  his Gi is a little overdone but I can live with It.The only thing that sucks Is that I'll p...

I thought Spyda from  20 Years Before 2000  fame might get a kick out of this awesome 90's comic book ad !He's a big Bo Jackson fan and chances are ,he's already posted this pic on his other site ,  The More You Bo  .If you haven't already,go check out both sites!Good stuff!

I recently received my package containing 17  issues of  Wonder Man 1991 -94!This was a series I wanted to get into as a kid but only managed to  pick up the two titles you see below.I don't know what happened.I must have lost interest.I do remember really loving the character.Wonder Man came off as being kind of  aloof  and arrogant In the comics,some-timing as a Hollywood actor.He was kind of a lone wolf and that was something I gravitated towards when It came to comic book heroes and villains that appealed to me.I can't wait to read through these again and give you guys a little more insight into one of Marvels', IMO,most underrated heroes.
