 The arm joints are bad on Duke... lower hand went flying off on his right arm and it took a bit for me to find it in my room. Annoying. LOL |

One thing the original version of this Duke did is make the webgear silver to add some contrast. Of course, it also had the jet pack.

All that matters, is that Duke's not going to wear a mask. That Hellfire Club set is outstanding, wow. Isn't one of those guys Sabertooth? More Mythic Legions today... Helphyre Goblin, fun dude to surprise visitors in the goblin tunnel on Snake Mountain, he he :-)  Xarria with a set of red demon wings. She's a good reminder not to get married.  Belphagorr, the dude that looks like Satan. His role is listed as, "Dark Prince."   Magnus on the knight builder body, and some knight chick. The body Magnus comes with is okay, but the paint on the belt didn't cure right, so I just set that aside. I want three of the blue knights to have a three Muskateers thing.  |

Donald Pierce isn't actually a mutant, just an enhance human via tech, also a mutant hater. Also, Jean Grey has an alt head so you can make her Selene. I haven't taken them out of the package yet. x-men.fandom.com/wiki/Hellfire_Club |

Xarria is clearly an homage to Darth Talon. Very cool figure.

My non-toy run today. I found WWEternia Goldberg, who is the most boring guy of his wave and I left him at Walmart. The thought of scalping it did occur to me, but screw that crap. There's nothing like 3 Walmarts in reasonable driving distance that have action figure aisles that are 80% empty.
The only 3 3/4" Star Wars figures I saw were reissued Battle Droid and Peasant disguise Anakin at Meijer...passed. Oh, I did finally see a GI JOE 6-incher at retail again...Cobra Commander. But I don't care to collect that line. Meijer doesn't seem to carry MOTU Origins.
At Dollar Tree...bought 3 more Playmobil blind bags and got two of the 4 from that series I didn't have. Yay?

Thanks, all I really remember about Hellfire Club was Emma Frost being smoking hot :-) Cannonally, Emma was an exotic dancer, Prof X did track her down as he was looking for people's who mutant powers had activated. She ended up using her powers to enrich herself. She is a smart lady, but telepathic powers definitely gave her a heads up. LOL She actually was the counter point to Prof X as she had the bad school with the Hellions and when they all got murdered, she ended up figuring, maybe Prof X's way is better, that's how she got into the X-Men fold.  |

I see why Professor X wanted to recruit her :-)

 Random common issues. I think I have Classic X-Men 1 through 25 now. Daredevil random issues. A FF because She-Hulk made the cover, Wolverine 90s goodness. |

 Quick thoughts: Lady Jaye and Flint are very good. Gives a good pop to the Joe forces. I do like Zartan as well, although, the color collection of Cobra Classified is rather muted. Roadblock 1.5 is ok... but its hard to get excited for him. Floaked Panthor is very nice. Really makes me feel like I have a recreation of a retro toy I never owned. The two pack, Keldor is definitely the star. As for Clamp Champ, this is the first time I've encountered a loose jointed figure. Also, his feature gimmick is a bit of weight on him. This seems like quality control issue, but even so, the concept always seemed rather iffy to me. I'd rather he just have a sword or laser gun. |

Gnabbed two gnomes at Dollar Tree. Still need one more to complete the set. Yay? I got two because I wasn't sure. Also, I still see no pattern to the numbers on the bags. Nothing else worthwhile anywhere...Target or Meijer were the only other places I went.   |
