Suki? Melissa Mc Carthy action figure!


Finally we get a Suki action figure... Well, kind of. This is Abby Yates from the soon to be released Ghostbusters 2016 movie.
My wife and I are Gilmore Girls fans and we are happy to get this Melissa Mc Carthy figure even though the likeness is not that close it is fun to have. As you can see I brought her to work. Suki!

Emperor's Wrath Darth Vader

Just got this guy and posed him for this post. Then I knocked him over and lost his saber in the couch. Figures... As you can see you can see his skull under the light. Also has a detachable hand. He is a Walgreens exclusive. I tried hunting him down locally and found him eventually on line. After all that, lost his light saber. Dang dark side...

Eat yer spinach!


Had to get it. Swamp Thing Sofubi. Like going to Japan on vacation and getting something awesome. This guy is huge. Says 10 inches but with the box more like 14. Looks like he popped right out of Popeyes spinach can. I don't see any tubers growing on him but they may be sculpted on his back. I might have to free him from the package. He was very pricey when he first came out but good thing I waited because I saved about 50 bucks or more on him. Limited to 300 only a go Hastings exclusive. I dig him in the comics and really wanted this big guy for my studio. Makes me nostalgic for the old swamp thing movies too. Somewhere I have some old swamp thing figures and one glows in the dark. The packaging is a groovy throwback to the old mego figs but swamp thing was rumored to have been in production back then but never got made. Why don't these retro toy companies make new Megos on guys that did not see production? I really dig this guy. Maybe someday we will get a cloth 8 inch version of him but for now I am very stoked.

Blueline Jim Lee Batman!



I had the chance to meet Jim Lee long ago at Comic Con. He was just becoming well known. He has so much love for the art of comics. He was on AMC's comic book men this week to my surprise (I had just ordered this figure and was waiting by my mail box all week long) He told his story of how he worked out getting into physical shape to become the artist he is today. He explained how big an influence Frank Miller was for him and what is was like to work with one of your idols. He changed the whole look of modern comics and remains a down to earth guy still loving what he does. I hope to get this one signed eventually. Outstanding action figure. I waited a bit for this one and got it about half price. love it.
