Iron Man - Collection Complete

Written by andy on Sunday, December 31st, 2006 in Toys.

I have spent the last year or so attempting to assemble a nice Iron Man collection, whether it was action figures, busts, statues or whatever. I think Iron Man is about one of the coolest marvel super heroes out there. This is an image of the Marvel Legends Iron Man series 1 [gold variant]. After the holidays and I master my lighting with a digital camera, I will to the whole collection. (maybe)

Comic Book to Statues.. cool stuff (Uncanny X-Men)

Written by andy on Wednesday, October 18th, 2006 in Toys.

I finally got around to putting out on display a couple of Marvel Diorama and show also the comic books that they are modeled after too, check them out:

Unquestionably the most well-regarded, well-known and best-loved story in X-Men history, the Dark Phoenix Saga is one of the greatest comic-book tales of all time. Prior to the Dark Phoenix Saga, we witnessed part of the power of the Phoenix, a primordial force that had chosen Jean Grey as a host. It’s possible that Jean could have learned to control and even harness the Phoenix Force, but the Hellfire Club had other ideas. Mastermind began messing with Jean Grey’s head, slowly twisting her into a loyal member. But the HFC got far more than they bargained for, ultimately unleashing the Phoenix to threaten the safety of the entire universe.The Phoenix was a destroyer of worlds, more powerful and more feared than Galactus. The Shi’ar knew that in order to keep the universe safe, Jean Grey had to die. Of course, the X-Men were not going to stand for such a thing. But the Phoenix was, in fact, too much for Jean Grey to control and she knew it. Jean sacrificed herself for the greater good.

Uatu, the Watcher, perhaps the most annoying cosmic character in all of Marvel-dom, managed to summarize the events with rare poignancy. “Jean Grey could have lived to become a God. But it was more important that she die… a human.”

Days of Future Past is the name of a popular storyline in the Marvel Comics comic book Uncanny X-Men issues #141 and #142. It deals with a dystopian alternate future in which mutants are incarcarated in concentration camps. An older Kitty Pryde transfers her mind into the younger, present-day Kitty Pryde, who brings the X-Men to prevent a fatal moment in history which triggers anti-mutant hysteria.The storyline was very popular at the time and was produced during the franchise’s meteoric rise to popularity, which was largely due to the Dark Phoenix Saga and Days of Future Past writer/artist team of Chris Claremont and John Byrne. As a result of this popularity, the dark future seen in this story was revisited later on several occasions.

Iron Men Collection

Written by andy on Saturday, October 14th, 2006 in Toys.

Here is another collection that I have been working for the last year or so..
.

After taking them out of the box, dusting off the shelf and sorting the other toys that were on these shelves, I thought I would snap a couple of pictures. I now just have to learn how to take a decent photo when standing on a chair with my head between a couple of ceiling fan blades.

I don’t have like every Iron Man action figure or statue, just the ones that I thought were cool and these are not all of them either.

Dinky Trek

Written by andy on Friday, October 13th, 2006 in Toys.

The opportunity finally presented itself and I was able to acquire a Star Trek collectable from what I consider the best line of toys ever made.
