Sort of collecting? I found deep clearance at Walmart. The most expensive thing here was the Black Adam vs Intergang cycle set, $4 each. Hawkman plane/ship was $3. Atom Smasher was marked 50 cents but really $2. I left the single carded Adam and a Hawkman there at $2. The transformer was $1. Becky vs Bianca was $2. Scarlet Witch UNO cards $1....why did I get that? I might make a little money on it, still seems dumb now. Actually it all seems dumb. In the past I'd be enthused for 4" anything, but I don't know if the Black Adam stuff if worth the space. Wish I'd found a naked Stratos for $2. Pickings were slim. Also, now Walmart, resetting toy aisles has Leech and Snout Spout...supposedly been warming pegs elsewhere the USA. I'm not sure I saw Snout in person until now. $22...passed...if they are peg warmers, I can wait even lonnnnger.    |

Black Adam merch packaging designs look ugly, piss yellow, and the energy of that jet is X-Men ripoff (the trailer of the movie even looked X-Men ripoff, lol, never saw it... over Rock as a movie star).

Friday finds, no pics. Update this post later.
Super Powers Flash and Batman and Robin movie Batgirl no cape. Fair condition
A free Playmobil modern boat, very used.
Some free kiddie toys. Saw some 4" fortnite stuff, prices were okay, but gotta be really cheap for me to bother.
Not much of a day. Why am I even posting?

Pile-of-Loot got here!
No pics, my camera is in Mexico, so another boring review :-)
I could use my phone...maybe later.
I'll start with MOTU Revelations Beast-Man and Stratos.
What can I say? They're fantastic! I still hate the elbow arm articulation, but they look so good I don't care!
I honestly really like these guys.
Stratos finally has hands he can fly with! This is a dream come true right there. I removed the fanny pack and basically the accessories for Stratos suck, just those extra hands are everything. Only minor complaint I have, is that I do hate the pegs for his oxygen mask on his jet pack. His upper wings don't seem to fit great, but still look good. And I would have preferred a more darker gray color on him...but he is fun to run around the house with going "WOOSH!" :-)
Beast-Man is impressive. I thought the shin armor might be too much, but he looks less Beasty without it. I even like the way he came with the fur and everything, but still went with the more traditionally Beast-Man look.
And Super7 Ultimates TMNT Glow in the Dark Turtles!!!
First off, they look green in normal light...just a little translucent. I wanted these guys since they were first shown, so I am pretty happy to finally have them in hand.
Foot Soldiers aren't bad, I got two of them, but they are kind of meh. The turtles just have more of a "WOW!" factor.
Always good to have a couple more soldiers for them to fight I guess.
And for some reason I also got Mondo Gecko, even though I think I already have him *insert face slap emoji here*.
I will point out that the Glow figures do not have the accessory tree the regular versions came with. Not a huge deal, but I would have liked it if it came with the figures, oh well.
Now I just have to bring them back to Mexico.

MAn, the glow turtles rock and nice to see Stratos not naked, lol... that naked origins Stratos has become a meme around MotU talking areas. LOL.

That's probably the only Batman I would get. Very cool. Nice score! Man those She-Hulk covers are pretty sexy. The X-men one is one of the few comics I still have, and I'm pretty sure I have the first few after too. If those are on your list, let me know. If I see them in the storage room, I will send them your way. |

I really like the She-Hulk cover on the right (greg land variant I believe...)
That X-Men 1 along with Strange Tales and Avengers are facsimile reprints. The thing is, alot of old comics given facsimile editions were on news print originally, so the paper stock is different on these reproduction editions, however, that X-Men #1 by Jim Lee, it was released on glossy paper in the 90s, so this facsimile edition ends up being very similar.
I have pretty much all the 90s X-Men comics, let me know what you got in storage, there may be something on my list (if you got New Mutants for example, that's a series I don't got much of).

TMNT "Adventure"... the Archie's kid comic version of the Turtles. This is an Amazon Exclusive if you are interested: link So I have a few issues with this. Leo and Ralph, those figures are molds used for the hyper violet B&W comic, but I don't own them, so no real issue aside from a bit confusing in terms of what you are calling it and what you are getting. April has these white highlights on her jump suit, I looked her up in the Archie comic, and only a few pics I could find, don't see it this way, but no big deal.  The box they come in, back of the packaging is a nice bit of art on April, other sides of different characters interacting with the Turtle Van. Very pleased with this, imagine another one will be made with Dom/Mike and two other characters in the future. |

Very cool box set!
Partly why Raphael is my favorite. Those early comics, back from when they all had red masks, elbow & knee bands.
My theory is that they earned them training with Daredevil, or used scraps from one of his damaged costumes that got tossed into the sewer.
