1 of my local comic shops finally got Captain America figures in, they had the entire first wave. Sadly I didn't have a spare $100 to snag em, so I did what most of us would do and bought Red Skull and Crossbones, debated on keeping them MOC, but I eventually opened them, and I am loving the red skull, his sculpt is spot on and very detailed, I fucking love and hate that flame piece he's "suppose to hold", it looks cool but I only had it stay in his hand securely once before he fell over while redoing my display, and won't go back, the big missle launcher gun is pretty decent 2, and Crossbones is well just pure badass. I'm hoping come next pay to have enough $$ to go back and buy some more.. I want the Captain Britain, bucky cap and movie style cap, the others are gonna wait a few, he also has 2 stretch strike venoms there 2. He charges slightly more then walmart or zellers would charge me at $12.99 a figure, but he doesn't have as much traffic for the figures as it's an OWL's Hollow store that sells tons of baby things and little kids toys, tons of lego etc. But He has a wall of action figures, from marvel,dc,transformers, starwars, gi joe,neca,mcfarlane etc which is perfect for a collector like me. He has tons of IM2 figues if anybody is needing a silver centrium,hulkbuster,comic iron monger, etc.. nothing from the latest waves though. I'm hoping to secure myself the rest of the wave along with some DC universe wave 11 figures, local guy wants to trade me his Hot toys Iron Man Mark 3 figure... which is amazing for in exchange the entire DCU wave 11,.. the guy has like 4-5 figures from the wave. which will cost me near $100 and the guy is usually pretty decent, cuts me the tax,drops a few bucks off and holds stuff for forever for me. On top of all that my other local comic guy got me a Marvel Select Deadpool figure, as I don't have enought to buy either the original or 2 pack version ML Deadpool, this will have to do, I have 3-4 auctions coming my way, and I found 2 somewhat local sellers that have huge ML collections for pretty cheap I'm trying to score. if/when I do I will have quite a few doubles that I may keep for customs but would rather trade/sell on here. more updates and pics to follow. and sorry for the long ass speech.
