One last late night rant from Atlanta (Do I need to rename these vids Rantlanta? Okay maybe not) before I board the plane back to NYC.
It’ll be several months before I can consume this much sugar and HFCS again.

DP’s Legendary Toybox…
Tuesday, March 20th, 2012
I’ve been fuxing with the Marvel Legends action figure series since the mid-2000s. At one point I was copping every figure in the series but that became too consuming to maintain so I sold off all the figures except for the ones related to Iron Man.
Hasbro toys, which has been making the figures for several years suspended the 1/6th series to develop the smaller 3.75″ Marvel Universe series. I copped a bunch of the Marvel Universe joints just because I’m an addict like that, but I never responded well to the smaller scale superhero figures. Listen, I go back to the days of the 8″ MEGO figures so even tho’ the details of the dolls was more glorious the smaller scale left me wanting more.
The good news I found out during my Wal-Mart visits while in Atlanta was that Hasbro started up the ‘Legends’ line again. I prA’li would have known this had I gone to NY’s ComiCON past year. Missing that event was a fanboy fail. Here’s what the first wave of Hasbro’s reinvigorated Marvel Legends line looks like…
Thor, Captain America (as Steve Rogers) and Iron Man fill out a nice little Avengers lineup just in time for the summer motion picture blockbuster. I doubt I’ll be copping anything other than the Iron Man Extremis armor figures since the new pricepoint for the figures is up to $16 apiece.
I’ve already picked up two(2) Iron Man figures in the stealth blue armor.
The traditional red and golden armor must be the ‘chase’ (variant) figure. None of the Wal-Marts I’ve visited have had them in stock. The collectors go after the ‘chase’ figures hardbody, hence the name. I’m gonna hit up a few more Wal-Marts before I leave Atlanta to see if I can comeup on the OG Iron Man armor color.
I didn’t have the Mark V stealth armor figure that dropped when the Marvel Legends series first debuted. I’ve seen that figure being sold for upwards of $200 at some comic shops but thankfully the price is down to something more reasonable. What’s also good that I don’t copp these figures as investment items. I buy these Iron Man joints to make music videos for Ghostface Killah songs I like.

Embrace the future with a SneakerTUBE.tv bracelet pack. BONUS: The clear translucent joint glows in the dark. Holler if you see me on a lineup Internets. The hunt for the Galaxy Foams is this real.
I was the first cat to call them joints my ‘BLACKSTRONAUTS’

#LINSANITY
Jeremy Lin and the Knicks didn’t look past Atlanta like they did with New Jersey. At least they go to Miami with a sense of self and destiny remounted. The test will be to see what they can achieve from the Heats tilt if not a win.
Baron back?!?
We only wanted a pointguard to pass to Amar’e in the paint of ‘Melo filling the lane. Now we have a TEAM. Still on the back end of the tournament bracket, but not the team you wanna see in the first round either.
Still and all, Dragon eats hawk is simple Chinese arithmetic.

It doesn’t stop Internets and that’s why I’m putting in the max-support-inner-boot to my Air Jordan 2012s. I fell off the wagon during my LINsanity and now I’ve got to work my way back to under 300lbs.
I’ll need the added support while I’m on my feet canvassing the city hardbody.
I’m also going with a ski sock to see what the overall feel is now that I’ve even changed the insole inside the inner bootie.
With three(3) separate insoles and two(2) inner booties the Air Jordan 2012 has me doing algorithms again.
