2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

If you weren't lucky enough to pick up the Marvel Universe  release of Vision,good luck finding one under 30 bucks now :( If you're not too picky about having him In a newer,updated look ,then the new 3 3/4  Marvel Legends Vision figure's for you! He's got pretty much the same color scheme this time around ,only arranged differently.The head sculpt on the Marvel Universe version Is better looking,though,imo.But that's not to say that this Isn't a solid figure.    Well,semi-solid.I really hate the new articulation on these figures.I'm not a huge fan of rocker ankles ,especially when the legs have limited mobility.   No swivel wrists either .Man that sucks! Aesthetically,you'll like Legends Vision.His colors pop on display and he looks great next to the rest of your Avengers figures. And now for the obligatory "Now I need" list. Black Knight and  Hercules That's It! I have Black Panther b...

My X-Men are starting to round out some with the addition of Storm and Rogue .The only two on my need list now are Jean Grey (Pheonix version) and Professor X .On the villains side of things,must adds are Mystique, Sabretooth,Apocalypse(even though I hate how short he is) and Omega Red . Mr.Sinister maybe. I think a yellow suit Wolverine would make this group pop more.That's another one I'll have to add to the list < sheesh  >

Much like Alexis ,I kept to myself when It came to playing with my action figures.I had friends ,but none that I would ever allow Inside of my little action figure world.My older brother and sisters always had their own,grown up  thing going on. My cousin was the only one I could sit and vibe with on some Gi Joe and Transformers shit lol!But I don't remember having any action figure play sessions with him .It was more or less just a show and tell session and maybe a trade would develop somewhere down the line.Like I've stated In the past,action figure play sessions weren't just for fun.Lots of times ,when family problems arose or when my older siblings became too much to bare,action figures proved to be quite therapeutic.Much like Brother Midnight,I would drag out stories  that sometimes spanned days. There was nothing better than waking up early In the morning to pick up where you left off the day before. Before I compiled enough Joes to actually create my own uni...

Always curious about this.With all of us being action figure collectors as kids,I'm wondering what everyone's approach to actually playing with them was.Did you prefer playing alone,or with a friend?Please explain why for both answers.How did you play with them?While you're at It,throw In the kind of relationship you have with your toys.Were you the care free ,I don't care what happens to or who plays with my toys type of kid or were you overprotective of them?Set the scene.

Yes,I'm still on my Marvel Universe grind people!Recently I was able to sell off some DOTM Transformers  In order to continue filling out my  Marvel Universe shelf.Of course Magneto Is a must have ,but I wasn't about to shell out most of what I made off my TF sale for his Marvel Universe figure.So I took the Marvel Legends Showdown route.For those of you not hip to the Showdown line,they are some of the first 3 3/4 ,highly articulated Marvel action figures ever to be released.Some came individually carded and others came In two packs.These figures were hit and miss.Some of the sculpts looked great for some characters while others looked downright scary.Don't believe me? Click here.  Also,some of the skinnier characters suffered from loose limb syndrome.So be warned If your looking to these figures to hold a place In your Marvel Universe collection.Lately I've been on this X-Men kick  and I've been wanting to add some more mutants to my collection.Magneto has been hi...

Cross off another big name off  the Marvel Universe "Want List".Nightcrawler was a must have for my small team of  X-Men .He was always a favorite of mine In the comics and  In video games.This Is another one of those MU figs with an overblown price tag.why?I don't know.Not sure If he was short packed as a single carded figure or If It's just because of his popularity.Anyway,I was able to find him super cheap (It's the only way I roll) form a vendor who seemed to be selling off a large portion of his collection.$9 and some change later,I finally have a Nightcrawler figure!I won't post a team pic yet because I'm waiting on a couple other figures for my X-Men universe to arrive to do that.Stay tuned!

Brother Midnight's Round Robin Challenge Is the stuff of dreams.Damn,I would flip If someone left me $5,000.00  just to spend on toys!!!Now I'm not exactly sure what everything In my list sells for but I'm pretty sure It's up there. Lets get started! Brand spanking new and sealed ,this baby goes well over $1,000.00 .This would be the first thing I track down. These are going well into the hundreds,new maybe more.I used to have a Rolling Thunder as a kid and would love to be able to find one mint!     Brand new In box,Castle Grayskull goes for about $500.00.I need this thing!  This Is way expensive factory sealed.Lets say $1,000.00 ,bringing my total so far to about $3,500.00,lol! I would have to haggle the price down on one of these suckers,used!I can probably get one complete for about $500.00 bucks. $200.00 for a new Marvel Universe Galactus. I had a strange relationship with my Boglin as a kid.I used to believe he wo...
