THE MYSTIC EYE

I was in Laredo Texas not that long ago when I stumbled on the Mystic Eye.  You know one of those old carny game things like the Zoltar machine in the move BIG?  Well I just had to have it.  It is actually a place to keep your coins.

It is battery operated and I think the eye spins and lights up when in use.  I have never tried mine.

Even Spock has trouble getting it to work...

MU SANDMAN

I found this guy down here too.  I did NOT want the variant in his sandy form.  I wanted how he looked to me in the comics.

 Too bad the pic turned out just a little blurry.

Darn this one too.  I hope my new camera doesn't start sucking....


I had a chance to buy Amazing Spiderman 4 the first appearance of Sandman back in 86 and I balked.

IMAGINEXT BATCAVE!

I never thought I would own anything imaginext.  But it turns out sometimes they make their way down here to the pulgas.  AND they work great with 3.75 figures!  AND I got it for $8!

 This thing is pretty frickin huge.  I may not make a Batcave after all.  Thanks to Tony again for the Batman figure!

 I make have Ray repaint it so it will erase all of that red and yellow stuff.  I hate those things.

 Batman looks great perched on the ledge here.  Imaginext has definitely brought playsets back in a big way.

There is me just playing around with the old DD ML base.  Batman looks awesome as heck against this.

MU BARON ZEMO!

So I finally got the leader of the Masters of Evil.  Before he forms the Masters he directly confronts Captain America.  It doesn't go well...

 Biff bang pow!  Zemo takes a left cross!

 Yup.  Cap is wailing on him!

I think Zemo better form the Masters BEFORE he meets Cap again.  That would be the smart thing to do.  One of the best stories I ever read with the Baron was the time he formed the Masters of Evil in it's fourth incarnation.  They came so close to beating the Avengers for good.  Roger Stern is my favorite writer of comics.  He is amazing.

MU AIM BATTLEDROID!

Yeah I might be fudging it here.  But I found this guy in Mexico on the cheap at the pulgas.  He had black magic marker marks all over him.  Ray tried to clean him up as best as he could.  I will NEVER understand why kids do that to their figures.  I never did.

I also got a fourth AIM soldier.  I only armybuild up to four.  Why?  Because I am not a jerk.   I set them in my boiler room and wala...

He must be a Marvel Legends guy.  He is so big.  I love him.  I know he is Iron Monger for those out there.

 They are working feverishly to get him ready to fight the Avengers.

So cool.  He is a beast!

CUSTOM ACES AND EIGHTS DREW

I have never seen TNA.  But I read about it sometimes on the wrestling sites.  Apparantly they knocked off the NWO from WCW but with third stringers.  I kinda liked this idea.  They took a lowgrade wrestler like Festus from the WWF and made him cool with a gimmick that he joined the aces and eights.

He was a pretty boring figure anyways so I put him in this.  It is much better now.  Well that is it.  I am off Wrestling clothes for awhile.

CUSTOM WWF SPARKPLUG BOB HOLLY JACKET!

This is the second to the last figure I will be doing for awhile.  I am so tired of my wrestling obsession.  I am sure I will pick it up again at some point.

I thought Holly was hokey with this gimmick.  Never took him seriously until he went Hardcore.
