Even
though I'm a toy collector, I actually live a normal life and I'm
pretty much like everybody else, especially when it comes to matters
concerning my finances. I work eight hours a day, five days a week so
that I can provide for my family, save for the future, and buy the
things that I need and want. I sacrifice blood, sweat, and tears to earn
every penny I can and that's the reason why when I spend, I always want
to get the most bang for my buck. I'm a quality freak, no doubt, but
I'm the type who's willing to pay a premium for class and that's where
my love-hate relationship with Hasbro manifests. It's no secret that I'm
a sucker for Hasbro products. In fact, all of the toy lines that I
religiously pursue are from Hasbro. If you've been following this site
for a while, then you probably know by now just how much I dig the
company's properties and licenses. Though I seldom encounter
quality-related issues when it comes to Joes and TFs, I really can't say
the same for MUs. Marvel Universe figs are usually hit-or-miss and the
type of plastic used in making a certain figure plays a big part in
determining whether that particular figure is a hit or a miss. The
unfortunate thing is, we end up paying the same steep amount for the
figures regardless of the type of plastic used in making them.

[Acquisitions] Marvel Universe Greatest Battles Wonder Man and Quicksilver Comic Pack
It's ironic that this set has quickly become one
of my most treasured acquisitions this year considering that I'm not
really a big fan of these Marvel Universe comic packs. I was so
disappointed with my first MU comic pack figs that the thought of
avoiding all the 1:18 Marvel toylines actually crossed my mind.
Fortunately, the Captain America: The First Avenger toyline helped
change how I see things and now I'm steadily building my 1:18 Avengers
crew. Still, I can't get over the fact that these MU comic pack figs do
not come with display stands. Hasbro, please give every figure a display
stand, we don't need to remind you how important those stands are.
