Hey, Mr. Postman!


More TOYS came in the mail this week, Friends- what could be better than that? I’ve been buying up some of ToyBiz’s 10” Marvel Universe Series from the late 90’s… they seem much larger in person, I must say!  That should completely fill up any room I had left in the glass toy case I just bought *sigh*- I was warned by several of you about “the obsession”, and well (laughs) it’s true!

10” ToyBiz Ghost Rider and Moon Knight action figures:


While we are on the subject of buying toys, I also scored this 14” Cosmic Power Galactus that lights up and talks just today-Hooray!! I already received his 10” Cosmic Herald (Silver Surfer) in the mail last week, who desperately needed a giant super-villain to oppress him… it takes all kinds of people, Friends…



In other news, it has been five weeks, officially one month since I gave up alcohol and began my workout regimen- 2 mile powerwalks + 150 60lb. lifts (three positions, four sets) with the weight bar, six days a week. I’ve lost ten pounds and really tightened up the muscles, I sleep less and much better, I have a better overall sense of well being, and I have more money to buy TOYS with. J  As I said in my previous post concerning the subject, this blog and my rediscovered love of toys and comics is a really special thing for me- something happy and new in place of what was an unhealthy situation before. Thank you for cheering me on and accepting me, thank you for sharing your toys with me- it means a great deal to me.
And remember:
-enjoy yourself… life is too short to be down all the time.
-take care of one another… each one of you are special, precious, and divine. Don’t ever listen to anyone who tells you different!
-play with TOYS and have FUN with your life… it might just be the only life you get!
Up, Up And Away!!

  5. I remember I used to have the GHostrider but in a smaller scale and it can glow in the dark. Really brought back some memories.
