DP’s Legendary Toybox…
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.

Forget about former Knicks legend and ‘chip wzrd coach Phil Jackson coming to the Garden to coach the Knickerbockers.
The curse of Isiah Thomas prevents this.

If you believe in social and civil justice but you are cheap and not too motivated to really go out and march or do some other shit try this…
Put a package of Skittles in an envelope and mail them to:
Chief Bill Lee
Sanford Police Station
815 West 13th Street
Sanford, FL 32771
Make sure you leave your return address with a note that these candies are for justice for Trayvon Martin.
I. AM. TRAYVON MARTIN…

What are we gonna do Internets? Too many lil’ niggas doing right is getting they baby wigs popped. Danroy Henry was a college student and a star football player, but all them police could see was a Black boogeyman.
Now this baby of a lil’ nigga gets popped by a fake cop who isn’t even arrested when the real cops come to the scene. Why? Black boogeymen syndrome of course. The murderer was even protected by the police at the scene. I’m sad for this lil’ baby nigga, but what can I do?
The Curious Case of Trayvon Martin
