I been here, but just haven't seen much lately I want to write about; I'll make an effort to find topics I want to talk about in here more.
I collect figures. I have all nine Avengers featured in the Avengers King Size issue No # 1, from summer 1967.
I have all 11 DC Direct Legion of Super hero Figures, plus Silver age box set of Superboy - Supergirl, featuring Krypto and Streaky.
I have the Fantastic Four.
Spiderman.
And all Seven Justice League figures from the animated series, plus a few other JLA figures.
And that is not even counting my Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5, Dr Who and Lost in Space figures, and other figures from Sci Fi movies, and historical ones, too.
I hope Marvel churns out a Fourth and maybe even a Fifth Essential Avengers, and more...
And I'd sure like to get MORE Essential Fantastic Four volumes!
And Legion archives, too!
Off Topic : I got the Talking Tom Baker figure last week. If you are a Dr Who fan as I am, I highly recommend it! It is sculpted quite well, and the scarf looks terrific. He has his sonic screw driver and bag of jelly babies, and his trademark toothy smile.
K - 9 is equally as detailed, with his control panel and fully sculpted features.
Both figures talk. Tom Baker says about 5 phrases, and K- 9, two.
Silver age Comics still fascinate me. Kurt Swan and Jack Kirby will always be my two favorite comic book artists. The stories they drew were interesting and of ongoing interest. Sure, they had their dark moments, but the endings often had upbeat notes.
Another Off Topic moment : Stargate SG - 1 really is a Cool show. I only discovered it a year or so ago, and I love it. Richard Dean Anderson has a lot of funny moments spread through out each episode, and the stories and script are consistantly excellent.
