Proof of a wife's love!

So after the most horrendous experience trying to order this MOTU Classics Mer-Man from mattycollector.com my wife made my day by ordering me one from ebay and boom it was here within a couple of days and it didn't cost too much more than ordering from mattel. This is one of the best looking figures (as all of the MOTUC figures have been) EVER! I love this figure and I am so happy to have this especially since my 2002 Mer-man is the second issue repaint so I didn't get the original of him so to get the original of this one is awesome and he is chic a la huit!!!! Thanks babe I LOVE YOU!

Graduating to awesomeness!

I graduated from college today and what better way to celebrate then to get a package in the mail from BBTS! I got this here Legacy Collection Joker Squad pack which is an Entertainment Earth Exclusive that was unveiled at SDCC last year but just was barely released about a month ago.
The pack includes Lord Maleval (this is from the Legacy comics by the way) who is a Quarren Sith (very cool) then you have sergeant Harkas and Anson Trask.

Next we have the first female stormtrooper figure Jes Gistang and then Hondo Karr and Vax Potorr. I had to get this set for several reasons; first female stormtrooper, second character with a lightsaber, and third it is from the Legacy comics which I collect and think is an incredible series.
Also in my package was a sight for impatient eyes my Heroes and Villains minimates sets. Some of these were released last month at TRU in two packs and I did't want to get them because I knew I would be getting these packs eventually with minimates in them that aren't at TRU but it was difficult to not buy the ones at TRU. Here we have Wolverine, Captain America, Spidey and Hulk.

In the Villains set we have Magneto, Dr Doom, Green Goblin, and the very first Red Skull!!! The villains sets is awesome I love the Doom minimate the best of all of these. There should be a bunch more new minimates in the next couple of week so YIPEE!!!!!

Bobble Heads Galore!

Well I had a great weekend with my family and when I got home last night late I got the mail and got my package from TRU.com with the other TRU Exclusive of Weapon X Wolverine and Silver Fox.

I also got Special Ops Wolverine and Deadpool even though these are in the normal wave coming out soon because having an extra deadpool is just fine with me and an extra Wolverine to trade is always good.

My brother Ben was down from Boise and he and his family got me a great gift for graduation (I graduate this coming Friday). Not only is this a cool present but they actually got me something of Star Wars that I don't have yet! These are SW Bobble Heads and here we have a Tusken Raider,

A Stormtrooper,

Princes Leia,

Obi-Wan Kenobi,

A Jawa,

Jango Fett,

Greedo,

Darth Vader (which is great to go on my DV collection shelf),

Darth Maul,

Chewbacca,

C3PO

and of course Boba Fett! Thanks Ben and family for this great gift, we miss you guys and hope to see you again soon!

Exclusive clearance

At Target today I see this SW battle pack set of the Showdown at the Sarlacc with the Pit of Carkoon a Skiff and the figures you see here. Normally this set is 55$ so I would never consider buying it but it so happens that this set was on clearance for 30% off before but still almost 40$ so still a no go, but today it was marked down to 13.74! Well I couldn't pass up a smoking deal like that more than 75% off so I snagged it and came home and opened it up and well it is not even worth what I paid for it. I was severely diappointed and got super glue all over myself trying to improve the Sarlacc. . . anyway the Skiff if cool so that is all I can say about this. I guess I learned my lesson that just because it is a great deal doesn't make it a great buy!
Then on my way into work I went into TRU and voila they had the next wave of exclusive minimates from the Wolverine movie (which we are seeing at midnight in a week!) There are two sets you can only get at TRU here we have Agent Zero and origins Wolverine. The other set I got on TRU.com last week and it is in the mail.
Then they also have a bunch of the minimates from the actual wave of minimates coming out here soon and I picked up this set of Wolverine and the Blob because when I get the actual wave I will be able to display a Blod (as you see him here) and the nonblob figure (which I will post a pic of when I get the wave) But since I have them now and they are new they bring my total minimate count to 555!

Best version of IM

Here is Iron Man from Wave 2 of the Marvel Universe 3 3/4 figures. I like this one better than wave 1 because this classic version is my favorite version of IM.

Mugg Shot

I found wave two of the Transformers Mighty Muggs at Target yesterday and Xander helped me choose this Starscream over Grimlock. So here he is in all his smirking coolness with some really cool wings.
