New Toy Tuesday - Infinite heroes...

Quadrian or something like that.  I like DC but have not read a single issue since the nineties.  I have no idea who this guy is.  He IS from an alien race and is a weaponer....

Also I picked up Power Girl....Now these and Batman are the only Infinite Heroes figs I have.  I SO wish DC would come out with a Marvel Universe figure type in stores for their heroes.  Many people would buy them....Oh well....

League Assignment- Cowboys!

Go ahead....Play the song as you read the blog.....Well it is League time.  I have not done one of these in awhile so here goes...

The theme is Cowboys....So what do I think of when I think of the world Cowboys....Well this comes to mind...

John Wayne....My father loved John Wayne.  Painted two oil paintings of him.  I do not have them as one we lost to fire....But Dad thought that if he painted John Wayne that they would sell....They did not sell...

Then I think of the Lone Ranger.  This EXPENSIVE DVD set was available last year.  I passed up on it though for the one below.

This one was 5 bucks!  All the lone ranger goodness I could want.  It satisfied the little boy watching this and Adventures of Superman as a kid before the eighties cartoons kicked in.

Score Sunday- Finding Nero...

Got this little guy for a small price at Big Lots in Texas last year.  IT ALMOST completes my 3 inch new Star Trek line.  All I am missing is Uhura.  This is Nero though.  The villain of the movie played by "Don't call me Bruce Banner" Eric Bana.  I liked the Star Trek movie.  It was great. 

I have no idea what to do with this little guy.  I will think of something though.  He looks like a priest.  A space priest maybe...

Score Saturday- Action figure adventures!

WHOO!  Buzzchuck over at Action figure adventures was nice to me!  I am blown away by his generosity!

Whoa!  Look at what is in this loot.  I am particularly jazzed about a few items.  The C3PO Pez Dispenser is great!  I am doing a secret project with Pez and this fits right in!  Also the Nosferatu!

I gave him a special place in the Monster Cafe display case!  

I opened up the Tygra Thundercats figure...I thought these honestly would suck.  OMG!  They have great articulation and a good look.  I hope to find the rest.

But why am I making the satisfied face?  Oh man...ORIGINAL vintage Star Wars figures!  Hammerhead and Walrus Man!  WOW!  I carried them in my pocket all day while working to look at them periodically.   More than anything these brought me back to being 6 years old.  I now have 5 Star Wars figures from my youth.  Of course I had to explain their relevance to wifey.  I never thought in a million years I would have ANY Star Wars vintage again.  I just thought it wasn't in the cards for me.  

THANKS SO MUCH BUZZCHUCK!  Anytime you are in Saltillo....Free dinner and beers for you and your ilk!  I mean it!  These two figures brightened my day as none have before.  I know most blogs that I read everyone ALREADY has them and probably kept theirs from when they were a kid...But not me.  I have had some tragedies happen in my life.  The loss of toys were a huge thing.  Again thanks so much!  LOVE the vintage Star Wars guys!

I know I will probably NEVER have my entire collection back of vintage Star Wars and it's ok.  I think I can live with it.  But man, you made this blogger so frickin happy.  I never expected to see these.  I could go on and on....

Freaky Friday- Monster Cafe interview...

This was an interview a little group did on the Monster Cafe back in 2009.  Not sure if anyone had seen it yet.  I was nervous as heck having never talked in front of the camera.  Had really no idea of the questions he was going to ask...Ughh...But hey it got Monster Cafe some much needed publicity at the time.

 

 

Part 2 is down below.

 

I was hoping for a followup but the company I think disbanded.

Controversial Thursday-Price asshattery!

It is controversial Thursday where someone gets offended....And this week we have people abusing the system.  What do I mean?

I think we have food stamps in Mexico.  But I am not sure.  I AM sure that this receipt found on the internet reeks of asshattery.  They used FOOD STAMPS to buy steak and lobster.  Bastards if I may say so.  That is an abuse of the system designed to try to help people.  If I saw someone doing this in line I would announce it loudly to the other shoppers.

What do the three pics above have in common?  Great sales in the U.S.  that is what!  Mexico NEVER has a sale!  They have IronMan 2 figures for $18 still!  A four year old movie!  You cannot even find them in the states anymore.

And that is that....THIS is WHY Mexico that I go to Texas to buy most of my figures!  Because you have no idea how to treat the consumer!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wishlist Wednesday- top 10 Jakks WWE figures I want.

OH yeah....I am a huge WWF fan.  I used to be moreso when I lived in the states.  I would love to complete my collection...These are the only guys I am missing!

 

 

1. Brock Lesnar bone crunching- Oh yeah....Man This figure would steamroll over my whole Jakks collection.

2. Cactus Jack bone crunching- I had him once and sold him when Dad died.  He was a great figure.

3. Dudley Boys bone crunching-  Imagine these guys and what they could do!

4. Marc Mero Bone crunching- I have the black shorts version.  I would like the red shorts.  He would pop on the shelf with a brighter color.

5. Diesel and Razer Ramon bone crunching- I had them too.  I used them SO much that the paint wore off of each one.  Wish I had them back.  My Jakks fed needs some Outsider love.

6. Undertaker bone crunching- I need this purple one again.  The one I had was during Jakks first run and his arm broke off coming out of the package.  I glued it to him and it was never the same.

7. Dave Hebner- Never had this figure.  I always wanted an awesome ref figure.  I had the generic one but not ole Dave.

8. Legends Classy Freddie Blassie- I had him too.  Sold em when my father passed.  I used this figure alot.  I gave him a finisher like what Xpac had.

9. Hurricane Jamie Nobel Final Count-  I love the Final Count figures.  Never had these two though.

10. The Dumpster-  YES I said the Dumpster.  While not a figure I do not have it.  Used to love the old dumpster matches these guys put on.
