Hey, Mr. Postman!

I know I just did a segment (or double-surprise segment, rather) of Hey, Mr. Postman, but I swear that FOUR boxes of toys arrived the very next day- Hooray!! Things just get more entertaining by the day here, Friends- what can I say? Let's take a quick peek:

It was a pretty good haul, Kids...

*14" Cosmic Power Galactus by ToyBiz (1997) - he lights up and bellows "I HUNGER!"  I am entertained! Two AA batteries were already inserted for me... more pics of him later! (...also received two free issues of Fantastic Four with this guy, that's nice) $32.90, priced included shipping.

*Another Marvel Famous Covers 9" figure for my ever-growing collection, The Scarlet Witch will keep Storm company and safe from all the boy dollies... ok, now I feel like a sissy (laughs)! BubbaShelby is really gonna razz me...  Got her for a song ($16.99, price included shipping- but you can usually find her for not much more, so be careful), and I really enjoy her retro-looking outfit- FUN!

*10" Marvel Universe Black Panther by ToyBiz... I could not believe how little they wanted for him ($14.00, price included shipping). He is quite the rarity, and could only find one of him on E-Bay. I saw him for $60.00 on Amazon, but never for less than that. He's in such good shape that I'm afraid to open him... MIB, Folks...   ...sorry about the crappy picture...

*10" Marvel Universe Polaris- I recall very little about this X-Men Heroine, donning her 90's X-Factor outfit in this version. Honestly, I bought her because she is one of the  more obscure X-Men, the price was so great, and I have been in a rock band named Polaris for 24 years... she has green hair, People...

Could it get better than this, friends?? As it turns out, yes it can...

SURPRISE! Double Dose of "Hey, Mr. Postman!"

That's right- this very morning, the postman plopped another box in front of my door! My PRIZE FROM THE COMMENT CONTEST on Action Figure Blues...  D.C. Universe Classics Starman!! Very retro-cool!

A very special thanks to Action Figure Blues and Mike's Comics 'N Stuff in Anaheim, CA for the extremely cool action figure- I LOVE IT! You guys are Awesome!

Join Mike and myself at the Action Figure Blues Forum- some really fun people congregate there to talk about what you love most: comics and action figures!

Before we go I just want to tell you something important, something that has been on my mind:  It's healthy to enjoy toys, most especially if you are an adult- this tough old world has failed to strip you of your joy, your playfulness, and your imagination. And with your imagination you can do anything- don't ever let anyone tell you any different! Now look at this overflowing cornucopia of toys in the corner... gonna (laughs) need another case!

Some Days ARE Better Than Others!

Some really cool stuff happened today...
As I was scrolling down my "Blogs of Note" on the SDTB sidebar, I popped into to Action Figure Blues and discovered I had won something- the comment contest to be exact, awarding me an ACTION FIGURE! Hooray!! The prize is a Ted Knight Starman from D.C. Classics Wave 15 from Mike's Comics N' Stuff- how great is that?!

But that's not all- in order to claim my prize, I was guided to the Action Figure Blues Forum, a happy place where people like myself congregate... people who like to play with TOYS and have FUN with their lives! Everyone was really nice introducing themselves, people who actually understand me and share my love of action figures- I nearly cried! But seriously folks, pop on over there and register- be a part of the AFB Forum!

To finish up an exciting day, I really scored on E-Bay today after hours of shopping around, price comparisons, and combined shipping:
-DC Direct New Frontiers Box Set (pictured above)
-DC Direct New Frontier Flash, Green Arrow, & Martian Manhunter figures
-DC Direct First Appearances Blue Beetle & Martian Manhunter figures
-DC Direct Reactivated Series 1 & 4 Batman Figures
-DC Direct Reactivated Series 3 Superman Figure (SuperFriends!)
-First Appearance Marvel Legends Variant Hulk figure
-Marvel Legends Series 2 Hulk figure by ToyBiz

I'll tell you, Friends- the help at work called in sick, leaving me no break for eleven hours, because of that I couldn't pick up my car from the shop, and I received an incorrect item from an E-Bay seller I have yet to identify, but nothing could stop me! (laughs) It seems like everything has been more fun since I started collecting toys, writing this blog, getting back in shape, and sharing good times with all of you. I hope nothing can stop you from having FUN with your life either, Good People- get out there and take the bull by the horns! And be good to one another too- you just might need each other some day.
Excelsior!
