In the original screen play Luke Skywalker didn't exist. There was only Leia Starkiller, and Rey looks a lot like the Ralph McQuarrie concept art for her.

 This cost me 2 bucks. It was 12 on Amazon, but another 10 total gift card, so only 2 bucks. My Marvel collection keeps on expanding. |

I really liked Guardians of the Galaxy 2 :-)
And loved their part in Avengers. The back and forth between Starlord and Thor was great :-)

Thor works better playing off of others as opposed to being a sole lead.

  Fantastic 4 three pack. Has no human torch. Don't know much about them aside from those horrible movies. LOL. Invisible Woman looks nice. Also included a pic of a single pack Thing I bought along time ago. Different tone on his rocky hide. |

H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot came about because many years ago they wanted a new FF cartoon but the Human Torch had been tapped for a solo project that wound up not getting made. Urban legends say Human Torch was excluded because they were afraid kids would set themselves on fire.

Todays kids probably would set themselves on fire. They still should have made the show. Those kind of kids are doomed anyway.
Fun Fact: In the film Reservoir Dogs, Mr. Orange (the undercover cop) compares the bad guy Boss Joe to Fantastic Four's "The Thing".

 Finally a Jean Grey figure. In her Dark Phoenix outfit. Looks good. Another Cyclops, and a reprint of the comic in question, which I've never read. |

 Rocket Raccoon & Groot Groot is tall and Rocket seems more of an accessory than a complete action figure. But still decent figs for 10 bucks (really, nothing as I got them off of my survey points I do from time to time, lol). I don't get the comic outfits on GotG, though. LOL |

I'm only aware of the movie stuff. I had never heard of Guardians of the Galaxy before the films. I love the sequel, and their roles in Avengers.
I am Groot.

So I fdound this B-Wing at resale store and it was $15. My dad bought for it for me, even though I was going to pay for it. First Star Wars related gift from him in years that wasn't something I wanted to immediately get rid of. (He doesn't get that I just collect toys, not like candy dispensers and other merchandized junk.)  Had the pilot with helmet and even his blaster (the store had taped the canopy shut) The pilot's torso has yellowed with age. This repaint is from some comic books. The blue squadron stickers are wrong for the actual pilot, they got to a female pilot that will never be made probably. I have one of these missing parts that has the correct black dagger labels. No I can rationalize keeping it for a restoration that will never happen.  |

The colors for it pops. I always thought that ship design was interesting.
Happy new year, Bravo and Felix, btw! Onward to new collecting? Hmmm. I got some comics coming.
