2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

Shout out to Lanard for a job well done!Right when you think the line Is dying out and all they're going to release Is repainted military figures,they turn around and hit us with this!Not to say that the military figures and vehicles aren't great In their own right,but these Kong sets are really adding to Lanards ingenuity.The legend of Lanard continues...! Check out the size comparisons.Doom has his hands full!     Baron Zemo Is looking like a tasty little pizza roll right now. It's snack time!Doom calls for back up! Cap brings in the big guns,which pale in comparison to Kongs big guns. Take that,that and that... Somebody forgot to put  deodorant on this morning. Eeeeewww! Snake Eyes has a long way to climb before he can introduce his katana to Kongs jugular. Here's Lanard's Kong next to a six inch Supes figure. Every figure Is pretty much In scale with King Kong. Well maybe not Marvel Ti...

I'll have loose pics of this behemoth once I figure out where exactly I'm gonna photograph it.Seriously,I literally have no room for this figure In my collection ,lol!Guess I'll just have to move some things..or maybe everything around.

I'm big on music,so this was a challenge I wanted to do but couldn't wrap my head around.I wasn't going to participate this week ,but after getting the 411 from Mr.Smith ,It's all systems go!  This challenge led me to do some digging Into my past to verify some things.And I'm glad I did.You see I have this thing where certain songs,especially 80's songs,throw my ass right back to the exact place and time I might have been listening to It.I say I might have because I haven't really done any verification on any of these memories.But I refuse to think of them as false memories because the images that appear In my head are so damn vivid/lucid.This will be one of the first times that I actually do a little fact checking on the release of a song that damn near puts me In a nostalgic trance every time I hear It. No joke,It's like time stops and I'm jettisoned back to my childhood.It's pretty freaky actually.Have any of you guys /gals ever exper...

I secured these guys cheap on eBay cuz i bought two ,in bulk.I really want to get more because doombots are something I've been wanting to army build for a while now.I just didn't have the proper figures to do that with.Now I do!These figures are cheap and for under 20 bucks ,you should be able to snag up 4 to get you started.I'm starting off with two ,but If I get anymore I will most definitely have to kick everybody out of Castle Doom to make room for them.                                              Here's how they look  as a stand alone figure.... They look pretty good In Castle Doom.             Definitely going to pick up a couple more.I think they'll look great standing behind Doom! Also,I'll be sitting out of this weeks Round Robin challenge but will still comment.Plus,stay tuned for th...

Raptor Is my most recent acquisition .A figure I'm glad I got because It helped me put into perspective exactly what years I full blown collected. 1987 -88 was a busy time for me .Busy asking people to take me to K-Mart.Busy asking people to take me to Fays drug store.Busy asking people to take me to Toys R Us  and busy   playing with my G.I. Joe figures.I was heavy into Joes these two years.I had older figures from previous waves  but most of those were hand me downs or figures I had just found outside while playing.I thought,time to strike while the iron is hot and start picking up these figures now so by the time they make It into the cartoon,I'll already have them!I managed to collect most of  series 6 (1987) single carded figures ,and Raptor here was one of them.To my dismay,Raptor never made the cut and failed to make a cartoon appearance.The good thing about that was that I could create a custom personality for him.  And speaking of Marvel.I wonder...

I'm always looking for odds and ends to spruce up Castle Doom and I thought,why not a hanging cell to hold those pain In the ass superheros  In check!When I saw the listing ,I thought the funny little goblin was there just to convey scale.I didn't think the little booger would be taking the trip on the USPS Express along with the cage. It's a little smaller than I expected but still works with the smaller scaled Marvel Universe figures. " Dooms elevators are more archaic than the ones In my NYC apartment building ."  " I'll just grab a seat and shut this door and press . ..." KLANK! " Awe crap !" I borrowed an eye hook from Magneto ,screwed that baby in and voila! 

Recently,I won an ebay auction for two Magneto figures.One was the Marvel Showdown  3 3/4 Mags and the other one ,this Toybiz beauty.Funny how as a kid you'll have no problem  overlooking the unsightly aesthetics of  a toy just because your so happy to have that character In the form of an action figure.Figures like quick change Bruce Wayne and Iron Man come to mind.And you thought Funko Pops had big noggins?Melon head...I mean Magneto here Is no exception. This,I feel,was the big draw.Being able to remove Magnetos helmet was key because much like In  the comics,he didn't wear It 24-7.Plus you were able to have It fly off after a Wolverine clawing. While some thought the removable helmet was the coolest thing about this Magneto figure,others thought his hidden feature was even cooler! * Kinda looks like Trump,doesn't he? Lets give Magneto the old eye hook test shall we? Yes!Magnetos magnet feature still works!Come to think of It,does magnetis...
