Great lineup Ky. A lot of obscure characters for sure. Seems like they stayed on top of story lines and pumped everyone current and relevant at the time. I always enjoy reading your posts about figures you have that we didn't necessarily know you had. Your collection is one of the best out there!

That BAF comparison shot is perfection personified. I thought it looked big but your sequence nailed it. I also spotted a solved Rubic's Cube in the background. I am more jealous of that!

I never could solve one.

I have the Beast Showdown figure and I love it. Save for his goofy "pole holding" hand he is a real joy. The face is not exactly pretty but hey, he is named Beast after all. I really like the Namor on the shark. Also the Moleman is secretly my #1 most wanted figure. I want him so much in fact, I am unwilling to buy one from ChinaBay without his cape and staff. I have enough figures with makeshift capes and staffs of various sorts that I will not settle for him.

Speaking of Moleman, his army is my next focus in the upcoming year. I am going to add a few underworld surprises too. Maybe weird figures from Dr Who, Star Wars and random lines long gone. I want several weird imaginative characters. Just random Sub-Terra sorts. Add Giganto and 15 Moleoids and take some shots on some creepy rocks.... That could be my favourite army to date. All built around a character from the SHS line.
