Destro, the original Scarlett obsessed sadist. His stuff on Deviant Art is really sick!

 The packaging is nice because you can remove her without destroying it, put her back in I believe. A nice tribute. I am glad I got her (only special con thing I could justify). |

 First comics of the new year, starting a bit of a Classic X-Men push in my collecting. Look at the middle cover, top row, an homage to X-Men #1. |

Classics are the Golden Age :-)
Got a Filmation Trap-Jaw today, pretty cool dude.
Filmation Mer-Man is on the way :-)

Ah, Trap-Jaw with the red colors. Very cool. I always hated that the evil warriors in the cartoon were mostly fools that got pushed around. As a cybrog, there's definite upside to the Trap-Jaw character.

I never cared too much for the character, but I appreciate him more now for how much he was used in the cartoon.
Figure looks good. Took a couple pics, will try to upload them later.

 Classic X-Men 1, 2 and 3. The eBay seller threw in a later issue as a freebee. Problem is, I am wanting to collect direct editions, not newsstand, so that's a not one I'll keep with my Classic X-Men collection. Also Dark Side Vision Rey which I had forgotten about pre-ordering. I am not a fan of Disney Star Wars movies (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story being the lone exception), but I do like the look of Rey as evil. |

My collecting is off to a shitty start.
Found these 2014 Star Wars 5 point articulation 2 packs at 5 Below. I'd heard the paint ops were bad. They are. But I didn't hear the plastic was bootleg quality. 2 of the 4 figures had a very loose joint. They are just terrible. How these ever made it to the USA I'll never know. Did Hasbro confiscate some bootlegs? Did their factory do such a bad job they held these back for discount retail?
I'll post photos later.
I didn't find anything interesting at Target other than a Spin Master white Manbat (that I did not buy), whom probably would've been more fun that shit grade bootleg Star Wars. The only MOTU were He-Man, Skeletor and Battle Cat.

I think those figures were made just to push fans into the Black Series 6inch figures.

They did look like shit at the time as I recall.

My ability to take even a half way decent picture died in 2020...winter lighting isn't helping.  Comparing the REBELS cartoon ones I got years ago on the right, to the recent ones on the left. New pilot is taller has thikcer boots.. New trooper's head looks a bit off and a bit shorter.  |
