Action Figures, Statues, Collectibles!

Oh yeah, that set was a big factor in me not collecting any others haha. I remember that we bought a box and after a few packs I'd lost all enthusiasm and traded the rest to my cousin for Magic cards.

Keeping an eye out for a Gambit that thematically fits as well, but that is proving more challenging.

In the event that you didn't see the upcoming wave, I have good news for you.

preordered it the day it became available! good lookin out tho!!

rumor has it that there was going to be a 3rd AoA wave, so hopefully Gambit is only the first of more coming soon

found my HOLY GRAIL of collecting. This is a copy of Wonder Comics #1, from May 1939. It features and first and only appearance of Wonder Man. Created by WIll Eisner, this character was promptly sued out of existance by National (DC) Comics, for being too similar to Superman. A Wonder Man story was prepped for Wonder Comics #2 but would never see print. 

This is a comic i've been searching for, for 15-20 years. i have seen FOUR come up for sale in that time, all of which were out of my price range. This was also the only non-slabbed copy, so i actually got to read this one too! i proceeded to encase it in a "slab it at home" kit from comicskin.  Here you can see it displayed with a custom Wonder Man figure i had made a few years ago (thanks for the hookup OSJ!)

Very happy for you, mate. I recognised the figure straight away as OSJ hooked you up where to go.

my AoA Gambit fig showed up in the mail yesterday! sorry, no pic(s).

now i'm feeling the pull again to track down a Storm fig that fits thematically (since they never released an AoA Storm, and TBH her outfit isn't that great in the storyline anyway). I will probably just break down and grab a DOFP Storm or something eventually.

There was a Batman: The Animated Series Kenner figures lot on eBay last year made up of nearly every figure and I forgot about it. Still haunting me.

This reminds me that eventually I'll need to pull the trigger on a MAFEX Sensational Spider-Man.
