Friday my latest aquisition arrived–the Transfromers Alternators Skids. Man, what else can I say other than I really love this figure. I waited until this morning to open him up and he is even cooler than I thought he would be. I don’t even like Scions as a car, either, but he is just a bad ass. Some have said they didn’t like the flames, I don’t mind them at all.
How can you not like a cover with Paul Hogan, a young Charles Bronson and a kung-fu master?? I love it!
The first Megatron..high hopes for this one.
“Whoever knows fear, burns at the touch of the Man-Thing!”
That’s what she said.
The new Thor. Already read this and it’s brilliant. Love it! Read this one.
Well, the day got off to a rocky start when about 5 minutes after arriving at the first comic store, my cell rings and my Dad needed help loading a pressure cleaner into his car. So me and my accomplices– the Big Dipper (brother-in-law) and my boy, Matt, haul back to my Pop’s to help him.Balls!
So, anyways, we eventually arrive to the first home of cheap comics, Wilson’s Books.
Dollar back issues there are the main draw and the collective haul for the Big Dipper and I wasn’t too bad. He got a bunch of old X-Men titles and I was looking for some 70s badness.
I ended up with a few Shogun Warriors, an old Eclipse title with the best cover I’ve seen in a while and an issue of the new Iron Man that I was missing.
Next we headed out as Matt, was looking for a military memorabilia store to fulfill his WWII obsession. No luck finding it at all and I think it doesn’t exist any more.
So he’s pissed and we head to yet another den of worthless paper, The Emerald City. The haul for us was decent, and I landed Man-Thing #1 as well as issue #1 of the new Thor. Overall a good time had by all, I think, and the outing came to a close.
So unlike the most recent Hasbro sponsored BotCon just weeks ago, pictures at the San Diego Comic Con are coming out from the Hasbro panel. I’m loving the look of these upcoming animated toys.
And the Animated Optimus Prime is seriously rocking the balls!
I also really like the looks of this Animated Starscream. I don’t care what the hardcore G-one-ers say, these toys are going to be a lot of fun and I’ll gladly take whatever they don’t want come next January.
