I'm actually meeting a Sideshow Freak today.

Like, as in, a real, honest to goodness, Sideshow Freak?

Got my book I was after fellas. Paid a little too much, but feel that's kind of okay. A bit afraid of what the ramp up of Star Wars will do to secondary market on everything. So, I felt it was best to go ahead and take the plunge now, and get the book on my shelf.

Happy.

Said King Darkness never.

This book is full of pictures. And they're Star Wars pictures on top of that.

I wonder if King ever read comics?

They were a primary contributor to my vocabulary.

I got some Godzilla trade paperbacks the other day. I'll be reading those soon.

The IDW stuff? Or older material?

I think I'm going to try and rearrange my toys and such and clean the garage today. Getting ready to sell stuff.

That'll be me this week. I'm doing a toy show next Saturday.

Today we're having a party for my daughter's 7th bday. That means grilling and drinking for me.

So I was looking over my key 1/6 interests.

Batman was created in 1939. I chose his 1992 Tim Burton incarnation (up for pre-order).

24 years after Batman, Stan Lee gave us Iron Man and The Amazing Spider-Man. I chose their 2010 and 2014 film versions, respectively.

Bruce Lee began his feature film career in 1971; I have his 1973 Enter The Dragon appearance.

1977 gave us Star Wars, with '77 SW and '80 ESB represented in my collection. This last one is problematic, as I have a couple of figures I'd like to add but need to make brutal edits to keep the population down. But anyway...so far that's 41 years of pop culture history in six 1/6 scale figures. Tight.

I got a couple of the IDW volumes fro one of the series that had pretty good reviews. They're pretty cheap on Amazon.

How rude!

I lived for comics for the first 20 years of my life. Of course, I just looked at the pretty pictures.

Yay! Just let me know what days you are free. I'm going to tour the comic shops one day for sure. Need to hit up Forsaken Toys to say hi to my friend Shawn.

I think I have the #1 issue one that has my local comic shop on the cover... there were like 50 different covers with all different stores. lol

Your 1/6 interests are similar to mine....

For DC Comics I have the HT 1989 Batman and for Superman I have the HT Christopher Reeve Superman.

For Marvel I have the HT Spiderman from the Sam Rami movies, Wolverine from X-Men 3, Captain America from AOU, Hulk from 'the Avengers' and the MKIII diecast on preorder. I alos plan to pick up Thor fro AOU to round out my Marvel collection.

Now for Star Wars...
HT Bespin is my favorite and he is posed next to a Sideshow R2D2. I also have a SSC EBS Boba Fett and SSSC ROTJ Vader. I don't plan to upgrade those to HT because I think they look great, but I have SSC ANH Luke, Han and Leia along with a Hasbro C3P0 and Chewie I plan to upgrade to Hot Toys versions. ANH Luke and the Han and Chewie 2 pack are already on pre-order.

I've considered kit-bashing a custom MCU Hugh Jackman Wolverine; it's about the only other Marvel character I'd be compelled to represent in 1/6 at this time, but I think I'm staying on the fence for that one until I work out the Star Wars end game. Which reminds me; I wanted to read Death Of Wolverine...

[...]Now for Star Wars...HT Bespin is my favorite and he is posed next to a Sideshow R2D2.

DX07 is an outstanding release; R2 is also solid in spite of a couple issues.

I also have a SSC EBS Boba Fett and SSSC ROTJ Vader. I don't plan to upgrade those to HT because I think they look great, but I have SSC ANH Luke, Han and Leia along with a Hasbro C3P0 and Chewie I plan to upgrade to Hot Toys versions. ANH Luke and the Han and Chewie 2 pack are already on pre-order.

I have a Scout I ordered with a store credit a while back on the way. Was not going to keep him, but I'm a sucker for machines and that Speeder Bike is looking tempting.

I have parts for Marmit+Hot Toys stormtrooper or sandtrooper customs; I could neatly do the OT in a three set display - sandtrooper & pilot Luke/probe droid/scout & bike...larger than the minimal display I've been shooting for but not by enough to skew the balance too badly. Three films, one hero and some compelling designs.

Curating Star Wars is such a pain in the ass when you're trying to maintain minimalism.

You expect him to know how to read?
