#toybiztuesday - this week we take a look at #Archangel II with wing flapping action. This one was a definite improvement from the original Archangel release. Better head, better wings. It was worth buying a new figure to upgrade the character. #xmen #marvel #toybiz

Today on #ToyBizTuesday we take a look at the classic #Xmen #SteelMutants line. I did not collect these back in the day, but I was always charmed by them. These were 2.5” tall #diecastmetal figures, sold in 2-packs, usually with 2-3 points of articulation. #toybiz #vintage

Man! Remember back circa 2016 when #StarWars was SO popular that it warranted its own section at @toysrus separate from the regular action figures? It was so prominent it was called out on the floor maps. Now we are lucky to get a 4’ section on the Planogram. #thegoodolddays

I’m thrilled to announce that myself & several friends will be a part of the new season of “The Toys That Built America” on the @history channel. If they use everything I shot with them I could be in up to 6 of the 12 episodes this season! The season premiere is Sunday Oct 15!

I spotted these #warnerBros 100 #looneytunes mash-up #blindbox figures at @target by BullsiToy I love the water tower packaging. Unfortunately these have the Flash version of the #tasmaniandevil instead of the #Aquaman version.

It was on this day, Oct. 25, 1993- Long time Hollywood horror movie star Vincent Price died at age 83 so it’s appropriate that I feature his new black & white #ReAction figure from super7 in my countdown to #halloween This figure is available to order now.

#ToyBizTuesday- I always loved the original Brood run in the 80s #Xmen comics so I was thrilled when Toy Biz released this figure. I always found it to be one of their best sculpts in the line. I can only hope that we will see a new #MarvelLegends Brood figure in 2024. #toybiz

Todays #AquaMonday is a very recent acquisition- the #NanoPods #AQUAMAN from @wowstuffofficial There are 12 characters to collect in wave 1 and they all come #blindboxed The characters are not removable from their “pods” but you can connect all the pods together for display.

I haven’t been on X/Twitter in a year, but I heard that Ben Stiller was replying to people about #severance and I just wanted to tell him he’s an American treasure and the show is amazing and a bright spot each week. Thank you for making TV for smart people.
