Marvel Infinite Series - Beta Ray Bill

Another discounted Hasbro Toy Shop pick up,Beta Ray Bill has found his way onto my Marvel Universe toy shelf.I don't care If they're released under the  Infinite or Legends 3 3/4 mantra ,to me they are all Marvel Universe.I must admit to only picking this figure up due to the low,low price tag of $3.99.  I just thought,this Is too cool of a character to pass up.Beta Ray Bill may sound like the name of a used VCR salesman to you ,but he Is far from that.In fact Beta was one of the few characters In the Marvel Universe mythos to ever give Thor a good ol' run for his money.Beta Ray Bill was even able to lift Mjolnir and use It against Thor In the midst of the heated battle.Odin catches wind of the skirmish and deems Beta worthy of his own hammer,Stormbreaker!You have to check out some of his cartoon appearances ,Planet Hulk comes to mind as one of my personal favs. Truthfully,I didn't know shit about Beta Ray Bill until I decided to actually go ahead and purchase the figure.I did an extensive search on the internet and came up with everything I just laid out for you guys ;) It was well worth it,though ,because It's never too late to learn about your Marvel superheroes.Oh,and the figure really Is a thing of beauty!



Articulated jaw?What?






Beta Ray Is an alien being,hence the 4 fingers instead of 5.I think that's pretty damn cool!His stock photo shows him with 5 fingers so initially I got scared and thought they were going to send me a variant that wasn't comic accurate.Luckily,the stock photo is just that,a stock photo,and all Beta Ray figures are four fingered. I've gotten lucky with Hasbro Toy Shops figures as all of them have been flawlessly painted sans any defects or paint slops.  


"Lets not fight anymore ,Thor"  - "Fine by me Beta"  


"Selfie?" - "You got It Beta!"

"I'm bored.Wanna fight?" - "Bring It On!"

    Thor is my favorite Avenger and one of my top heroes so Beta Ray has been on my radar. Might have to pick him and Thunderstrike up if they are still available when I get paid in November.

    I found him down here. What I am looking for is Hawkeye, Black Panther, and Black Knight.

      Black Panther and Hawkeye should be easier to find than Black Knight.I'm kicking myself for not picking up Black Knight when I had the chance.

Go! Games and Toys

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

A GI Joe Post That's Not Classified

Image
As much as I love the Classified line of Joe figures, I feel like there's other Joe stuff out there that deserve a little bit of that spotlight.   Pictured are two custom cardback figure protectors and four Diamond Select 💎  GI Joe figures.   I'd been looking for a way to protect my stashed 3.75  o-ring Joe's when I came across these online. I picked up William Perry's and Snake Eyes protectors and will be adding more as they are made available.   These are unpunched, clean and professional looking cardbacks that feature vintage artwork  on the front and file card on the back.  Diamond Select just doesn't get the props they deserve in my opinion. As much as I dig  their Marvel Minimates line, these Joe Minimates are equally cool! I'm not even sure I want to open these guys up. I mean I want to, but would hate to.
