Two More Down !

Image
I can't remember the last time I actively sought out an action figure line in the wild. I gave up on Joe Classified figures and MOTU Origins early on. I think the fact that these Legends figures only cost 10 bucks at retail give me an added incentive to hunt them down. While pickings are still slim, I managed to stumble across a small assortment of Marvel Legends Retro figures at a Walmart I hadn't been to in a couple of years. It was going to be my last hunt of the day  as I had already scoured the toy aisles at a nearby Target and an out of the way Walmart. The third time proved to be a charm! 

I Found A Retro Legends Figure, In The Wild!

Every week I take a ride out to Buffalo to see my daughter. Each visit consists of a ride to McDonald's for lunch and then another down to the local Walmart for a makeup run. There's 2 Walmart's, actually, but we hit up the one closest to where she lives. On these runs, she'll typically go her way to find her cosmetics and I'll check out the toy aisle, and then we meet back up to shop in tandem.

Cardback Conundrum

Damn you Hasbro for making action figure cardbacks cooler than the actual action figures! I'm torn between keeping these amazing Marvel Legends retro 3.75 figures carded and removing them from the packaging. I've already paid scalper prices for them so picking up doubles of these figures is out of the question. I've been brainstorming different ways to open the packaging in a way that I could possibly put the figures back in the bubble to  hang  up for display. It'd be cool If someone invented a perforated back where you could remove the figure from the back and keep the front in tact.
