Diorama Possibility ?

Image
I thought about turning these into some kind of a computer terminal  but instead .....  ...I'll just flip them over and turn them into an alien world background.It's alot easier to just paint them grey and throw some terrain on top and around the structures.We'll see,I guess.    

New Cape For Mole Man!

Image
Thanks to Brother Midnight sending me that replacement Dr.Strange,I was able to use one of the capes for my Mole Man figure.A quick paint job later and voila! You can still make out the eye of agamotto but It's not as pronounced with the all green paint.I know Mole Man has a  raggedy looking cape In the comics but this gives him a more royal look  .Well,whaddaya think? 

Marvel Legends 3 3/4 - Spider-Man Noir

Image
Is Hasbro trying to give us all  brain aneurysms with all the name changes on their 3 3/4 figures?First they went with Marvel Universe and then that changed to the Marvel Infinite Series which then leads us to what they are being called now,Marvel Legends.But there Is nothing on the packaging that lets us know they are the 3 3/4 version,for instance,If you were just looking at them online.It's all very confusing ,especially If you are new to the game.This Spider-Man Noir figure falls under the Legends label and was sent to me via trade by   none other than  Brother Midnight of  Green Plastic Squirt Gun       . If you remember , a few posts back, I showed you a pic of all my Spidey figs.... Now I can add Spider-Man Noir into the mix  . I don't know much about this characters background,other than the fact that he is an alternate universe Spider-Man .I think from the 1930's If my memory serves correct.I passed him up at a lo...

Fraggle Rock McDonald's Premiums

I finally got around to adding these to my collection.As far as fast food premiums go,these Fraggle Rock racers were pretty popular,and still are.Check out the original display... I'm short one but pleased with the three I have.

Marvel Universe - Wolverine (Brown Suit/Comic Pack)

Image
I got this In the mail yesterday. I've been really drawn to this style  buck some of the first Marvel Universe figures sported . This will explain why you'll see that I'm amassing multiple figures of certain characters in my collection.I normally don't go that route as I like to keep it simple,but If a particular character that I already own has another figure out there with this kind of sculpt,then I'm picking It up. Hence the Wolverine figure you see below.  Right off the bat ,you'll notice one glaring problem with this particular body sculpt and that's the scale misrepresentation.Every figure Is the same height!I kind of like this because It hearkens back to a simpler time when all figures had uniformed   height and style.Die hard's won't like this one bit. Off to the Marvel handbook...  You can clearly see the height differences between Wolverine,Reed Richards and Bullseye.Wolverine should be alot smaller . Here's ...

Marvel Universe - Bulldozer

Image
When Brother Midnight said he had  Wrecking Crew member ,Piledriver ,for trade I was like "No doubt!" It turns out Piledriver wasn't the figure he had ,It was Bulldozer all along lol! That's all good Brother,I get them confused all the time.Funny thing Is,I used to own this figure.It came In a two pack along with the ever lovin'  Thing .I traded him away to Buzz of  Action Figure Adventures  ,and have wanted to re-acquire one since.In the end,I'm glad It turned out to be Bulldozer and not Piledriver. Here he is next to the Wrecking Crew's leader, Wrecker.All I need now are Piledriver and Thunderball. I know ,I suck at posing .Lately I just haven't felt that extra motivation to put my action figures in cool poses. Even If I did find that motivation,I'd most likely still suck at It. The Wrecking Crew played a major role In the Secret Wars series.Well,not that major but they do  appear often and  have a lot of dialogue througho...
