2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

The Danger Room display was cool but when you look at It ,you know It's the Danger Room.Only X-Men figs would make sense In that setting.This display ,on the other hand,can be used for pretty much any style of action figure.Modern figures look great with It...... ......but I think I prefer the way the larger ,vintage  figures look. Rambo Is already a kick ass line  of figures but this display makes them pop even more! This display  even makes knock off 80's military figs look bad ass ! B.A. Is about to walk In on an illegal chop shop (is that redundant?) operation! 90's Marvel Superheroes figures pop on their own,no display needed,but they look good displayed here. Incorporating figures around the back of the display Is something I should have done more In the above pics.The open area on the door can be a nice place to display extra figures seeing as how the front Is a little limited ,space wise. I'm really liking the wa...

I don't know why I keep picking up pieces like these two Marvel Select displays.I don't have any room for them, LOL!!These last couple of days I've been brainstorming on how to display my stashed collection of contemporary 3 3/4 action figures. I've got Star Wars ,Indiana Jones,Marvel Universe ,G.I. Joe  and various DC figs with nowhere to put them.At the least,these display pieces  allow me to have some fun with them even If It's only for picture purposes.Today we'll be looking at the X-Men Danger Room!The top pic shows how It should display normally but I chose to lay It on It's side to accommodate more figures.Once I get some extra shelf space ,this Is where I'll display my X-Men figures. THE DANGER ROOM ROUGE'S UP TO HER WAIST IN RATHTAR! <<DANGER ROOM..INITIATE SABRETOOTH SEQUENCE>>                                           ...

My Marvel Select display stands arrived today and I'm very pleased with the aesthetics!They are larger than I expected and should work great with my Marvel Universe figures.The door display might be kind of big for 3 3/4 figs but we'll see.I think you all know what that other display will be used as ;) Stay tuned for pics!

I was going to hold off on this post on the count of some Marvel Select stands that I picked up   to incorporate into the pic not showing up yet.I ordered them more than a week ago and all the seller has done Is printed the shipping label In order mark the item as shipped,even though It's probably still sitting on his dining room table.Oh well.The stands aren't even a big deal,In fact both are incomplete I believe.They would have looked good In the background of some  of these pics,though.Oh well. I have to say that I'm super pleased with the versatility of this Star Wars gunship.If your into 3 3/4 figures and are In need of  decent vehicle that you could possible build a small fleet with,this is the one.You can still find It on E bay for a fairly decent price.

I don't consider myself to be a super collector.I don't purchase waves of figures at a time.Heck,I only average about one carded action figure a month.But that's not because I don't like them,In fact I love carded figures.Nothing compares to the sound of a  crackling clam shell ripping apart form the card back.Nothing comes close to the smell of plastic chemicals emitting from your action figure once In hand and nothing Is cooler than a brand new ,tightly jointed G.I. Joe fresh out of the packaging!The lack of Joe product out there has a lot to do with my lack of enthusiasm for anything that's out on the shelves right now.It ain't so,If It ain't Joe.I just made that up and I'm not entirely sure If It makes any sense but It sounded cool and rolled off the tongue nicely.But ,yeah,every now and again I'll get this urge to crack open a G.I. Joe figure.I don't get that urge with other figures.Only G.I. Joe.The great articulation,web gear,accessories ...

It's been a little over 2 weeks now and I'm still doing the workout thing.Nothing huge ,just biking every day along with some other cardio exercises thrown In for good measure.I'm also eating a lot less.Portions,small portions.The wifey put me on to this cool app called Lose It and I have to say that It's alot of fun.You get to scan the foods your eating to instantly find out your carb and calorie intake.Basically you get to document everything you eat and do from day to day.It gives you a daily allotment of calories  based on your height and size.You'll earn badges and get congratulated weekly for  keeping In step with the program.Not only that but you'll quickly start seeing a difference ,too.I know,I sound like one of those cheesy infomercials.But I shit you not,this really works.I realize this ain't for everybody,but If you are planning on doing the workout thing ,try the Lose It app ,you won't be disappointed!
