[Acquisitions] Funko Pop! Avengers Bobbleheads

The Avengers live-action movie might have jacked up my obsession with the team to unprecedented heights but the 1:18 action figures which Hasbro produced definitely didn't measure up to my standards. Hasbro made up for that lackluster showing by rolling out some fantastic 1:18 vehicles but they didn't stop there, they also brought their A-game in dishing out an amazing (though incomplete) line-up of Mini Muggs figs. I've also heard through the grapevine that their 1:12 offerings have been pretty surprising too but sadly, with my meager income, I simply can't afford to get those bad boys. Running out of (Hasbro-produced) options to satisfy my Avengers cravings, I decided to look elsewhere and found these Funko Pop! cuties and now, I'm hooked!

Man, did I have to wait for these or what? When pics of these designer toys first surfaced last February, I was so thrilled I had goosebumps. No kidding! Not only am I a huge fan of the Avengers, I'm an advocate of the Mighty/Mini Muggs concept as well, you get the point. These cuties were on top of my to-get list and trust me, I was looking forward to get these more than anybody else was. Alas, when they were finally released locally, I was nowhere near any toy store. Why? Because I had no dough, seriously. Then, after being delayed for almost a month, our annual incentive pay finally saw the light of day (thank you, Petron) and so I hurriedly scheduled a trip to Greenhills and the rest, as they say, is history.

Okay, I guess I'm back for good. I was able to borrow my brother's DSLR camera yesterday and I seized the opportunity by spending the entire night taking photos of my latest toy hauls. I was so busy clicking away that I completely forgot that my new digital camera's due to arrive in two days' time and there was really no need for me to stress myself out trying to take pictures of a lot of stuff in such a short amount of time. Brighter days are here, folks!

[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.

[Acquisitions] Marvel Universe Hulk

 

Merry Christmas, dear readers! I hope you're all having a wonderful day with your family and friends but please don't forget the real reason why we're celebrating today! Let's continue to strenghten our personal relationship with Lord Jesus and let's share His love and blessings with the people around us! My family and I will be off to the mall in a while but before we go, I'll be sharing with you another Christmas Toy Fair acquisition. I was able pick up an action figure of a character who is green, strong, and full of anger but no, I'm not talking about the Grinch here, I'm talking about the Hulk!

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

[Acquisitions] KitKat Break Pack

Fine, this is not a toy. But you ought to know that this site is not all about toys, in fact, the blog description says, "Toys, Toys, Toys... and Other Things." So, let's not argue whether I should or should not talk about this here on the site. Just trust me on this one, alright?

[Acquisitions] Marvel Heroes Self-Vending Buildable Figures

So, what do we have here? Well, these are self-vending, buildable Marvel Heroes figurines from A&A Global Industries! The figures are two inches tall, and they are so swell! These figures are so darn cute, I just want to have a shelf full of them!
