Here is my newest addition and long time "grail" along side one of my obsession toy from my childhood, the Marx Gabriel Lone Ranger.
I loved Superman as a kid because of the comics... then I loved him because of Christopher Reeve... but I really became a Super-fan when John Byrne started working on the book!!

Working on the Lego ‘66 Batcave I was genuinely missing a little Jill St.John figure to fall into the atomic pile. Solution: Robin’s body, Catwoman’s face, Riddler’s hair.

Yes, it was a clever design, unlike a lot of the later spacesuits that looked like NASA could have produced them. Starting with the first TOS movie, Trek tech took a giant step backwards as everything became busier and more complicated.

A dark day has finally happened.
I have an obsessive nature, & thus need to be careful what I buy. For example, I have got into the Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron & have been buying far too many of these excellent ships.
One obsessive collecting line I have managed to resist is Funko Pops. This despite some excellent X-Men, FF & Avengers figures.
For Fathers Day, I have been bought a Wolverine, that includes the cover to mini series issue 1. Slippery slope initiated.

I find when I see photos of “hyperrealistic” statues/figures I am instantly distrustful. There are too many instances of pictures of the actual people being blended into pictures of the models.

And MidTown comics has it for immediate sale. Hence my confusion. Everywhere I look it seems to be a different story.
