New Action Figures

Today was a glorious day. It had been several months since the last time I got an action figure (due mostly to the insistance of Pam that I stop buying them), but today series 13 of Marvel Legends came out and I couldn't help myself. I picked up Green Goblin and Loki from a store at Metrotown called Ages 3 and Up, which sells action figures, magic cards, and other assorted goodies. It is a very good store and I'm pleased I found it. This ties in with Neil and Daniel's thoughts on EB Games as they are a very good specialty store. Anyways here they are in a few different photos.

This is them set up on top of my computer shuttle box (ie. small tower) at work.

This is a rather dramatic pose I set up with an older Spider-man figure that I had. Note the kick ass huge playing card I have hanging in my office.


This is a shot showing where I have them set up in on my desk at UBC. Note the layer of dust by my computer "tower," the kick ass River Rock Casino coffee mug, the little stikfas man from last year's free comic book day, and some pens.

I should note that these figures are part of the Onslaught series

where they come packaged with a piece to make a larger figure. I've commented on this in the past but have since changed my stance as the sentinel figure is really cool. However, I opted to buy these figures out of the package because I only wanted them and didn't want two pieces of Onslaught sitting around forever. They were out of the packaging because the store has to open a set of figures so they can build the big figure and sell it to some poor schmo. In addition to me not having two pieces of Onslaught sitting around forever, I also saved a couple of bucks!

This likely has a record for most imbedded hyperlinks (at least for my blog).
