I through in that Sailor Moon because it had gotten so cheap on BBTS.

NICE HAUL!! Toon figures looking good!

[Swindle]

The Creations version of Skeletor is much darker, while the retail toon Skeletor is lighter. You can take heads on and put the masks on characters.

The training bot Teela comes with doesn't have a floating base, so you'd have to hold it to play out Teela training. Kind of lame. Teela herself is nice.

[Bravo]

And the female mask of power from Skeletor has the male socket.

I forgot to get the regular cover of Secret Wars 2 as well. Oops.

[Felix]

Buzzer is pretty pissed off at Cobra Commander, OUCH!

Baroness and Duke have a thing now because of the movie...can Duke be trusted anymore.
Evil ladies will destroy a good man.

I like Night Creeper on the other Joe cover...not the leader, the regular Night Creeper.
I remember really wanting a red ninja during those comic years in the late 80's and early 90's.
Night Creeper was the substitute, and he was a fun figure. I also REALLY liked the 1998 arctic version of him.

I see Symbiote Spider-Man! He looks so cool.

Megatron must be stopped...no matter the cost...of this issue.

She-Hulk should win babe of the century.

Against my better judgement, because of the sale, I got Mouse Jaw.

Really, the most of the stuff is for the build a fig. You kind of want this figure to have a bunch of mousers, but you'd have to buy more of the fig itself. So you can hook up a blast effect or the mouser to his arm.

Not a bad fig.

An absolute "must have!"

The other half of the Amazon exlusive comic version of the turtles? I suppose Splinter is supposed to be 'comic' version as well, just a different look. Ray Fillet, I have no memory of this character. LOL

[Bravo]

Sy-Klone arrived.
Went to Ollies, no good Star Wars besides Retros I got months ago, no 4' Marvel, no GI JOE, no decent crap everyone finds at their Ollies besides WWE Superstars Hollywood Hogan and Rick Flair. They had 35 Flairs and 4 Hogans. Guess we know who is more popular. I got Hogan. I don't collect Wrestling anything, but he's Origins style and for a laugh $3.99 ain't bad. If I want Flair, he'll be there. No sign of the other 2 on the cardbacks (Honkey Tonk Man and some guy in a top hat...not Papa Shango).
They had a Clamp Champ whose package was ripped open, half off...would've been $8 still and missing his extra hand. PASS.
Still had 8 of him in good condition on pegs for $16. No other MOTU.

Target had Sabine and Krssstsaananns whatever $8.39 each. I reluctantly got them, it was that or still overpriced at 50% off Easter candy. They had one Luke with Grogu or Gogru or whatever his name is...still $14 on clearance. Nah. 

Meijer, returned some cans and bottle. Lousy toy section. MOTU Origins long gone. Some Retro collection Star Wars. I was going to get buy 5 save $5 stuff, salsas and dips. I went to self scan, they rang up $13 something. It should've been under $10. I guess I grabbed the wrong thing. SELECT VARIETIES STRIKES AGAIN. I thought about for a few seconds. Abandoned them merch. Took my bottle slips to a cashier. Bought nothing, pocketed $16 in can return money. Screw 'em and Screw me for tryin'.

[Felix]

Sy-Klone looks good!

Nice score on Hogan!

I saw Hogan once at a hotel I was staying at with family.
He had his family there too. Around the time they he was doing that reality tv show. There was a moment I was sitting down, and I saw him sitting with his son, and there was nobody around, so I thought I would walk over and say HI. But as I started over, someone got there first, and he got a selfie with a fan. And I thought, "Let the guy have his waffles with his son," and I walked away.

[Bravo]

I just realized I could've skipped the Star Wars and bought an army of Ric Flairs to recreate the Sy-Klone package art using Flairs instead of Horde Troopers.

[Swindle]

Good stuff, Bravo. The full price of star wars figs... way too much, under 10, much better.

[Bravo]

Yeah, even then I was little hesitant, not being able to see their paint ops. They are okay, thankfully.
Sabine's helmet is too tight, yet also looks over-sized. It's a lose-lose. I won't ever try to put on her head again. Should've been an alternate head. She also only has swivel wrists, which isn't a big deal. The new "GI JOE style" hips are a vast improvement over awkward older hip style. (I think these are my first figures with the newer hips.)
Too bad Luke was $14. They only had one left and I get out to Target, well, this was probably the first time this year.
I don't even recall seeing regular carded TVC on pegs. Oh, but Origins Jitsu, Stratos and Co were there, along with the second Rulers of the Sun 3-pack. And the only Turtles of Grayskull item was Mouse-Jaw.

[Swindle]

That She-Venom cover is wild.

I still need to track down the other 3 issues of that miniseries, Spider-Man/Black Cat the Evil Men do. It gets bad reviews, but whatever. I'm just here for the art (deals with rape and such, and apparently not very well).

[Bravo]

Peter Porker was a fun comic. My brother had some issues. The back-up stories were other characters, not sure if that reprint would have that.

(Oh, just noticed Goose Rider on cover, so apparently so.)

The Fantastic Fur was the one I remember most.
