Saturday Swag


Was running around town doing some clothes shopping today and picked up some cool superhero shirts at Target today, then stopped by Toys 'R Us to pick up a couple of those bitchin' Retro-Action dollies by Mattel...


Captain Cold!


The Flash!

I saw these during the February toy-fast, but resisted, and Alex & Kingkaiju waved 'em in my face recently as well. They were too cool to let get away, and I'm doubly glad I got these today, as stock was down significantly upon my return. I am mad for these DC Retro-Action dollies as they remind me so much of my childhood Megos. Pure love. I also have Superman, Lex Luthor, Batman, Two-Face, Aquaman, & Black Manta. I see a photo session in my future!

And...

...my lovely Postlady brought me yet another Martian Manhunter action figure yesterday, because you know I can never get enough. I won this DC Direct Series 2 Secret Files J'onn J'onzz on eBay for $11.24 (price included shipping)- I'd only been spotting him for north of $18.00 for months, but someone finally came down to where I was comfortable. Patience wins the day...


Have a Super-Duper weekend!

  1. Did you ever find where to get those Captain Action sets of Captain America and Spider-Man.

    I hate that you can just go to Target and Toys R Us and find such cool swag. They don't sell those great retro figures except in specialty stores.

  2. Yes- Entertaiment Earth has them up for pre-order, thought after I calmed down, I started to think about the cool Famous Covers Cap & Spidey I still have yet to photograph... too much...?
    I LOVE can just go to Target and Toys R Us and find such cool swag :D
