Hey, Mr. Postman!

At the risk of driving my pal Bubba stark-raving mad, for the second day in a row after taking the 28 Day Challenge, I want to share some toys received in the mail. These were purchased in January, and I warned you that I had some stuff on the way, so this is (laughs) fair game. The Midwest blizzard did not stop my local post office for even a day, and for that I'm grateful. As promised I have purchased no toys or comics in February, I have cleared out my watch-list on E-Bay, and I WILL stick with the agenda.

*Marvel Legends Series 2 Human Torch by ToyBiz! I found this for under fifteen bucks (price included shipping) on E-Bay after Johnny Storm croaked here recently. While a lot of people were celebrating the poor kid's demise, I kinda felt sorry for him. Call me sentimental, but I recently read Marvel Essential Fantastic Four Vol.3, and while somewhat a whiny little bitch, Johnny was integral to the stories. And they'll (laughs) probably bring him back to life anyway- so get over you happy-self. I had been hunting some Marvel Legends down lately, and while I have a cool 10" ToyBiz Torch, he doesn't have near the articulation this puppy does...

*New Gods Series 1 Darkseid by DC Direct! I have been on a hunt for a Darkseid since I read Final Crisis, and finally found one of these for a decent price, MOC. Sometimes if you wait long enough, you get lucky. I've had an passion for DC Direct figures for a few months, but lately it's become an obsession. I hear all the crying about scale issues, limited articulation, and stuff... well I don't care. I may still be a little wet behind the ears about toys, and not as demanding as some hardcore fanboys, but maybe that's a good thing- at least I can enjoy myself a little. I LOVE this toy!

*Crisis On Infinite Earths (DC, 1985- Compilation TPB, 2000) The DC Universe can be a confusing place, and according to New Readers...Start here!, a lot of the mess was sorted out here. I'm really excited about all the graphic novels I have to read this month!

So you can see quite plainly, I need to take a month off from buying toys! Aside from being financially responsible, I want to take a closer look at some of these toys I've hoarded collected with you. I will tell you though, I still (laughs) have seven action figures that I purchased in January on the way, so... well, I'm sorry Bubba :D
Thanks for reading- I appreciate it!
