"DeLorean From Back To The Future 3"

Received as a Christmas present in 2008.

The third installment was by far the most far-fetched. So much had been changed in the past that the future couldn't have possibly been the exact same, but, hey, who am I to criticize?

G I Joe: Cobra Paratrooper

Purchased in 2008 at Walmart.

I'm not really a fan of these re-released guys simply because I remember them being larger back in the day. Is it just me? Anyways...just glad to be getting some of them back into my collection after selling them to my cousin back at the end of the 80's and then when I tried to buy them back I found out he broke all the rubber bands that connected the top to the bottom. Argh.

Ironman Concept: Captain America

Purchased in 2008 at Walmart.

I had been meaning to pick up an Ironman figure at some point but could never find which one I liked...until now. Simply not enough Captain America things in this world (or my collection). But when I saw this one I knew what I had here.

NFL Players: Tony Romo

Purchased in 2008 at Toys 'R' Us.

Now granted, he isn't having the best season of his career. I think that will be last season when he broke Troy Aikman's old records for passing, touchdowns, etc. But he is a big deal right now in Dallas so I kept a lookout for him. What I really detest about this town is that we never stock our own. There was a figure of Stars' goalie Marty Turco that I saw once in Target...and never again. So I had to get this one. Who knows when he would ever turn up again?

Transformers: Animated Starscream

Purchased at Walmart in 2008.

To be honest, I wasn't real impressed with how cartoonish these products looked. Ironic since the name of the line is "Animated" right? I purchased Soundwave previously because he had kind of a neat look to him. And I didn't get Starscream from the movie line of toys because I had found Thundercracker and he had a great colour scheme to him instead of the bland beige/tan Starscream had. So when I saw this one, I made a mental note of getting it.
