After about a 10 year hiatus, started meeting more people who were (still) into comics and toys. I guess around 2006 I started to get into comics again, and had about 11 years of back issues to get. Around this time the Transformers movie came out, and while I do have some issues with all of that, I started getting into buying TF's and eventually toys again. Well, things get sad for me soon after (2008), the economy tanks, self-employed so it had a severe effect on me and my comic book habit, which was insane with all those damn X-books.

Around 2009 I started to notice the XMO Wolverine line and then the first wave of MU. At first I wasn't really feeling it, and money was tight. But, I did say to myself that I did WANT the flame-on Torch which I have been seeing for weeks, and XMO Deadpool and brown suit Wolverine (I'm an 80/90's X-Men Fan). By the time I got the money, Torch was gone and so I got Wolvie and Deadpool. Kept them MOC, and that was that.

At the time I was more into TF's, classics, generations, universe. So I stumbled upon the TFW2005 site, and through there, Toyark. WOW, all these awesome toys, that I can not afford. But lo and behold, one day, front page, I see Archangel and Havok for MU. Fuck yeah, I had to have those. So I started to pay more attention to MU figures while out on my hunt. And hell yes, I found them, variants at that!!! A couple of days later I went out again, looking for the regular versions, and, being a big X-Men fan, bought those along with Collossus and Mystique, and told myself I would just buy X-Men only. Well, next thing I knew I was buying Ghost Rider, then IM2 figures, and now, I like almost every figure they make, it definitely is more of an addiction.

I really love Marvel's character's (over DC), and with the comic renaissance that's been going on over the past few years, a lot of older characters are making a resurgance with more interesting stories, and not just reduced to 2nd, 3rd and even 4th string characters. A lot of new characters are comming out, and different twists on existing characters (Spider-Man, Avengers, Future Foundation, X-Force). Also, Secret Wars was out when I was getting into comics, so for me it was nostalgic to see these comic packs and figures. So as long as they look really cool and can pose nice, I will buy it. I am buying almost entire waves for the past year now.

Yes too many dang X-Books as much as I'm a fan of X-Men they need to drop at least 2!
Yup how can you call yourself an X-Fan if you don't have all of them in the MU line...anything X-related basically as well:P
