Action Figure Friday

[GNTLGNT]

....most of you know I have never grown up between the ears......and I don't mean an IQ that hovers near room temperature.....in my mind and heart, I'm still a little GNT that likes action figures and other types of "non grown up" things.....just for fun, throw some pics out there of figures you had as a small person, or wished you had....or go a step further and post images of things like that as an adult collector......for instance:

My all-time favorite and go to as a smaller me:


and now, as a larger, but still child-like GNT:

You see these bad ass beetches? Yeah, I had every Little Kiddle, little locket, animal kiddle, perfume bottle kiddle -- still have them! They were active and they saved the world as we know it many times.

Yes, this mouse couple had a mouse house with bunk beds. Apparently they were the Lucy and Ricky of separate sleeping in children's toys.

...oh yeah!....and I had the astronaut that explored the universe before Picard had even cooled off his first cup of Earl Grey.....


...Major Matt Mason....

I was right on the edge of being too old for this (38)-- but, I wanted it! Okay, I'm kidding. I was a kid. I was doing mid air rescues thanks to the success of the movie, Airport!

As a kid... GI Joe, circa early 60’s. I think that was the only action figure available for boys in the early 60's.

As an adult... Christmas presents for my wife... the complete 90’s collection (Blade, Tunneler, Pinhead, Jester, Six-Shooter, Leach Woman, Torch, and Totem) of Full Moon’s Puppet Master action figures... MINT-IN-BOX.

When she got them at Christmas the first thing she did was tear them out of their packaging and pretty much destroyed their value. I nearly had a cow. Her response was... 'They're mine and I can do as I want!'

Good for her! They are hers. The value is the joy she gets from them. Not the 30 pieces of silver!

LOL... That's pretty much what she told someone last weekend when she retold the story. Have you been talking to her behind my back?

I was wondering why she wanted a pirate hat to add to her hat collection.

 

[cat in a bag]

I have my little Broncos elf on a shelf guy and a Peyton Manning Pop! dude. Still in the box!

And I have one new and one old Pennywise Pop! guys. Still in the boxes. They all sit among my books.

I tell you I love those Pop! dudes and dudettes. It would be easy to go down the rabbit hole with them. Good thing I'm not rich.

Not action figures, really, but I plan on never getting rid of Woody or Buzz Lightyear when the kids are done with them. They can sit among my books and keep Pennywise in line, play catch with Peyton. When I'm not looking, of course.

One of my most prized possessions as a child. Had just about all the original Transformers action figures, both Autobots and Decepticons.

 

[swiftdog2.0]

I picked these up when they came out!!

 

[ghost19]

Spoiler: WARNING! Simulated blood on immortal serial killer

I also have a bunch of Funko Pop! figures and McFarlane monsters.

Have a whole curio cabinet full of 1:18 scale die cast cars as well.

Got some plastic sharks as well.

Excellent thread Scott. I love the DP action figure..looking forward to May 18th for sure.....

The Mezzco One:12 Collective has some pretty bada** stuff as well.

The Blade, Alex DeLarge, Michael Myers, and Jason Voorhees figures look pretty awesome!

Last Christmas I got the wife these to add to her horror action figure collection.

She already had this one.

I plan on getting these for her next.

I have the complete McDonald's Inspector Gadget that I would NOT let my children play with. bwhahahahah! My youngest son, who is 24, just told me when I die, he gets Inspector Gadget!
