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 Red Hulk and Black Widow
Nope, I haven't ran out of toys to talk about. In fact, I have yet to post entries about a ton of goodies that I had purchased during the past three months. Work has consistenly been an absolute killer as of late but I'll try my best to sneak an entry every so often to keep things moving. Today, I'm featuring two Marvel Universe acquisitions from my China Square Central visit last February and as usual, these figures have a story to tell.
