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.

Captain America

Purchased in 2008 at Walmart.

"More X-men You Say?"

Oh, you betcha! Just when I seem to have them all on here, more come out of the woodwork!

Banshee

Some Indian

Another Indian

Sabretooth

Bishop maybe?

Bishop, maybe?

So far this seems to be all I have...unless that "Magneto" movie actually gets made. Either way I'm money.

"No fighting!"

...unless of course it is Street Fighting! Now I never got into the video game as much as others...namely teenagers with absolutely nothing better to do then to sit around Putt Putt and waste money. Somehow I came across a lot of the characters as action figures (in 1999 of course) so here they are!


This guy is...I don't know...


Ken? Is that who this is?


Boy they sure look alike. You think the toy company made the same guy twice andjust put a different coloured cape on him? Nah!

Thought I had a lot more of them. Hmmm...

Well, the game isn't as popular as it used to be, but the toys live on!

"Anna Who?"

Heck, I don't know who it is either since I never saw the movie. Not because I didn't want to. Quite the opposite. Anything Hugh Jackman is in is worthy of my attention. But it costs $9 to see a movie around here and frankly, I just can't afford to see 'em all. But I found this gal for like $5 back in 2005 so I picked her up.




Will this be worth something someday? Eh, maybe, maybe not. But it sure isn't bad to admire from afar...or up close...whichever.

"Look Into My Eye..."

...if you dare! Saw this at Target a while back, just haven't posted him until now. If you notice the red sticker, that was the actual price! Not bad eh? Would rather have Magneto or whoever, but this is pretty cool too.



I wonder...if his visor lights up or anything...now I'm all curious...and we all know there's only one way to find out...but do I go down that road?

"Who Da Man?"

Captain America, that's who. For some reason I always had a fascination with him. More so than Superman. Not sure why. Just did.





I heard the comics killed him off recently. Any truth to that? In my mind he'll always be around.

"The Man Of..."

Um...steel wasn't it? Yeah, that's it! Used to love the Superman show of the 1950's with George Reeves. No, I wasn't a kid back then! But it came on in the 80's and I always made time for it. Everyone loves a good guy.





This is all the Superman thingamabobs I have amassed so far. More to come? Ehh...

"Last But Not Least"

This is one of the last X-Men I have and for some reason he fell to the wayside while I was documenting the others! This just is not good for Logan.



Is the collection complete now? Mmm...something tells me there might be a few more around the corner.

"Mutants...In The Box..."

What's that? Only TWO X-Men out of their original packaging? Well, to be honest, there are so many of them I wouldn't know what to buy and what to pass on. But here are two I managed to preserve:




Are there more on the way? Who knows...I don't really see them in the store anymore so it may be a while. I did hear about a Magneto movie being formed, so it could happen!

"From The Batcave..."

...can sometimes turn up a treasure here and there that you didn't even know existed but you sure are glad you paid attention! Bought these couple of years ago and for some reason I never got around to posting them to my other site so why not now ya know?



I already have another Batman like this but this one just seems to be a little darker and, dare I say it...a little meaner.



I was going to collect the entire set until they kept releasing more and more and more of them so I had to really think about which ones I wanted. Since I had Superman I knew I just had to have this guy as well.

So far what I have left is mostly cars and stuff...but it is a LOT!

"You Have The Bridge"

You? Me? Well, someone always had the bridge when Picard left to take care of business, whether it was battling some evil Romulans or retiring to the Holodeck for some "fun" (sure ya know what I mean). For some reason I didn't collect more TNG toys, maybe because there just weren't that many, but here is what I found:

Reginald Barclay........Dwight Schultz

Fun Fact:
If this guy looks vaguely familiar, you may remember him as Murdoch from "The A-Team".



Jean-Luc Picard..........................Patrick Stewart

Fun Fact: Patrick actually has a full head of hair; however, he always wears an uncomfortable scalp cap so people won't be jealous.



Tasha Yar...............................Denise Crosby


Fun Fact: Denise is the grand-daughter of legendary singer Bing Crosby. All I can say is B-I-I-I-N-G!!!




This one I thought looked pretty neat. I really wanted a Data figure as well but as usual no one had any. I really don'tlike buying stuff like this online because I find myself growing more impatient each day it isn't in my possession. Saving a fortune though.

"Here He Comes..."

...he's a demon on wheels! I remember when TV Guide came out with their list of the 50 Greatest Television Moments...and the final episode of Speed Racer was one of them! Could not believe it. Anyone remember what it was about? No? Well let me refresh your memory. For years Speed Racer had dueled with his arch-nemesis RacerX. RacerX was always dressed in black and you never got to see his face. But then...finally...in the last episode...he took off his helmet...and it was Speed Racer's brother!

I bought this in 1999 during my "get it at Toys'R'Us before it's gone" days and I sure am glad I did. Now all Toys'R'Us stores are identical, running out of good stuff at the same. Stupid cookie cutter mentality! Maybe it's time to look elsewhere.

"Mutants...Out Of The Box..."

Lots of em! Hard to believe, but in my pre-hey day I actually opened up a few things and got to play with them! We'll start with the X-men collection I have amassed and may sell one day...if the price is right...




















I have a few more. At least I think they're X-Men, not sure to this day. Will have to have that researched!

"MacFarlane's World!"

Sure, he created the Spawn comics and eventual movies that followed, but he has really made his name in the world by creating (or should I say re-creating) quite a few movie stars, athletes and cartoon characters to a striking resemblance but only a little smaller. Here are the three that I have managed to collect so far:

Neo



Alien vs. Predator

The Digger


I don't think we need any introductions as we all know who these guys are. Well, except for the Digger. Was he the one who dug Spawn out of his grave so he could be brought back to life? Heck if I know. But man did he look cool.

There have been some new Spawn characters under the Covenant line that I may invest in. What's great about them is they never seem to cost more then $10 so anyone can get them. Should I open them? Mmm...maybe one day.
