2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

 

 As much as I liked the He-Man figure In this line, I think I like Skeletor even more! Also, I think I'm falling hook, line and sinker for these awesome action figures! Let's take a look at Skeletor. Again, the packaging  pays tribute to the vintage line nicely. If you were a kid In the 80's then you know that MOTU, GI Joe and Transformers was life. We didn't even need the whole collection. If we had just  a few figures from each of those lines then all was right in the world. I think we have a lot to be thankful for  as adult collectors. All three of the aforementioned lines have done a great job on all of their retro releases, allowing us to relive that all too important golden age of action figures.        I won't be going over the comic book because It was the same as the one that came with He-Man. I think that has been my only disappointment so far. I could be wrong but I thought the vintage line had  unique comic books for each figure. ...

  " Awesome packaging, iconic action figure with accessories and a mini comic book to go with an incredible nostalgia rush. Totally worth the $13 dollar price tag!" I recently posted about a couple of figures I picked up at my local Target. MOTU Origins He-Man and Skeletor. To be honest, Classified was on the brain but of course those were nowhere in sight, so MOTU won out. I mean, how hard is It to win a competition when the other guy doesn't even show up? There must have been close to 30 MOTU Origins  figures  on the pegs and It felt great to have a variety of figures to choose from. Hopefully It stays that way as I see myself picking up more In the future. Lets take a look at He-Man! The packaging really takes me back! I think I've said It before, He-Man was the first real mainstream action figure I had as a kid. That same X-Mas my parents bought me a bunch of DC Lost World of the Warlord figures thinking they were MOTU, lol! It's all good ,tho, cuz I loved tho...

 While things are still a little crazy during this pandemic, most of us have gotten used to living In upside down world (Stranger Things reference). I've had to get used to other things as well, primarily, living alone and apart from my family. It's already been a few months and as tough as it's been on me mentally and emotionally, I think I'm starting to settle into this new norm. I don't get out much but when my daughter comes to visit on the weekends, I kind of have no choice, lol. She loves Wal-Mart and pretty much any store that has a makeup section and I love spending that time with her. This past weekend we hit up a local Target and I was able to pick up a couple of things. A line that I've been keeping my eyes on and low key crushing on, Mattel's MOTU Origins. I've also been sprucing up the man cave a bit. I think this place is slowly becoming more conducive to blogging and all things retro and nerdy! I wouldn't have It any other way!       

What's up, people! I was originally going to go over my newly gifted Walking Dead figures, individually as I cracked them open, but ended up unpackiging most of them and putting them on display. There's so much to love about these figures. The detail, paint and awesome accessories are enough to keep you busy snapping photographs and recreating your favorite WD scenes. Below are some shots of the new display. Big Shout out to GI Jigsaw👍 love this Shane figure! Not very poseable but looks so damn sick on display! This Negan fig is so bad ass🔥🔥🔥 Sorry I didn't go too in depth with each figure but if you guys have any questions on any of the figures pictured above, I'd be happy to answer them😉

Where to begin! There was so much greatness in that last box of Walking Dead figures that I probably won't be getting around to reviewing all of them. Instead, I'm just going to go over the ones that really caught my attention, even though every last one of these figures rock! Today we look at the comic series Pin Cushion Zombie!  I just couldn't wait to go to town with this one. After looking at all of the holes in this figures body and all of the bloodied  accessories, I knew what had to be done! Amazing aesthetics! Love the detail on this figure. Placing each weapon into the body of the zombie was, strangely, very pleasing😂 I love how the sword goes right through to the other side. Once again, a huge shout out to GIjigsaw for the figures🙏 Much, much more to come!

Sorry about the lack of posts. I've been trying to keep myself busy with everything that's been going on, helping out family members while simultaneously keeping myself sane creating music and excersing whenever possible. Lately it's been pretty clear outside without any snowfall so I've been able to get a few bike rides in . Todays bike ride was a particularly special one ,though. As I approached my garage to stash the old mountain bike, I came across this.... Another care package from fellow blogger, Goerge AKA GIjigsaw! I immediately hopped on my phone to drop him a thank you email because..dang.. just look at this..! I'll be going through these and posting about them individually within the next couple of days. There's so much WD goodness here! So, this is what my Walking Dead display looks like today.  These shelves will look significantly different in the days ahead😉 Many thanks Jigs!
