So . . . I splurged on a few Marvel
action figures over the summer.
How could I resist
World War II Captain America
and Agent Peggy Carter?
HOW?
And because I enjoyed the recent Disney+ series
"The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" so much,
I also bought Baron Helmut Zemo
and a rather pissed-off Winter Soldier.
(Zemo is holding the Soviet Red Book
containing the code words which turn
Bucky Barnes into the Winter Soldier).
And look what my sister
gave me for my birthday!
SQUEEEEEE!
Captain America Sam Wilson
in all his winged glory!
She said it was the most money
she'd ever paid for eight inches of plastic
that didn't also run on batteries and vibrate.

haha...i like your sister!
We've got a big box full of such figures in the loft. I want to throw them out but evidently we are keeping them "for when we have grandchildren". I suppose if we do, I'll be the one that plays with them most.
Ha ha your sister has a wicked sense of humor. You must have quite the action figure collection.
Love them...but is the Captain America and Sam figures hung?
And I said the same thing your sister did during the pandemic of " was the most money she'd ever paid for eight inches of plastic that didn't run on batteries and vibrate."
Who knew they got so expensive girl?
Peggy Carter action figure! Wow! How cool is that!
I love action figures! These are awesome! I've gone with the 4" size as they are a bit more reasonable.
:)
Lol. Your sister is too funny!
Have you seen Sassybear's collections,https://idleeyesandadormy.com/
OMG
Yes! I'm absolutely jealous. I want to get a Captain America and Bucky and have them play house. Because of course.
Love the Sam Wilson figure, too! Maybe I'll get that one too and have a throuple? Ohhh, the posibilities!
Hahaha the most money she's paid, huh? I like her!
XOXO
"She said it was the most money

I will be dying over this, and sharing with friends, all day long.
That Sam Wilson figure is awesome. May have to get me one!

Hello Debra, I have never seen action figures that were so detailed and recognizable as real people before. Are your altars safe from invasion?

I liked the character Peggy Carter she handled those dressed up boys brilliantly! Keeping POP culture alive and well! Well done!
Well-those are great but I laughed right out loud at your sister's comment! Hope you and The Rare One are doing well and enjoying the last days of summer. Hugs- Diana
BWAAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAAA! I love your sister! Nice collection of action figures. The C A Sam Wilson action figure is very impressive.
Captain America is lookin great.Love your sisters comment....Have a good weekend..
Wow, you have enough "action figures" to make your own home movies now! May we expect your directorial debut soon?
Now your sister has a great marketing idea there, combining the action figure with some -- action.
Has anyone mentioned anything about your funny sister yet? I had a good LOL when I read that.
My SIL has a Starwars collection. It looks like it could be good post fodder.
@ Travel and @ Breenlantern (Sassybear) -- Thanks for the link! Impressive DC superhero and memorabilia collection. I'm an amateur collector compared to you, Sassybear!
@ Sixpence Notthewiser -- Hey, what those action figures do on their OWN time is THEIR business, lol!
@ Parnassus (Jim) -- If my violently-inclined dick flick action figures try to invade my Full Moon Altars, they will be repelled by Goddesses of War like Athena, Freya the Queen of the Valkyries, Ishtar and Durga. They've been kicking butt since forever.
@ Tundra Bunny -- Coming soon to a Porn Hub video near you!
Your sister is funny!
Congrats on all your NOT dolls!
Agent Peggy Carter is dishy! I'd say yes!
And, I'm now a fan of your sister... cut from the same cloth, eh?
I see humor runs in the family, LOL! How could you resist, indeed! Enjoy your growing collection! And have a great weekend too.
@ e -- I'd say yes to Peggy Carter too, LOL! And indeed, my sister and I have a very similar sense of humour and outlook. We can be real double trouble!
Oh very cool. I love them.
I had a Captain America motorcycle helmet!
thanks for sharing what your sister said - very funny. I like the wings on the last one.
The gentleman I help is collector of figuring he got quite a few Marvels and DC comics.
Coffee is on and stay safe
very nice choices. Love that Falcon America figure.
These are all so cool!
And “She said it was the most money she'd ever paid for eight inches of plastic that didn't also run on batteries and vibrate” has made my day!
I haven't watched the Falcon yet. My daughter collects the bobbleheads of Marvel. I'm afraid I'm already invested in too many other collections to get involved but I really like the WWII figures.
You must quote your sister more often.
I have an Action Man action figure. They are uber cool. I miss my old GI Joes.
Happy dusting! May your plastic action figures bring you many years of happiness.
I remember it was in 3rd grade when teacher asked us 'who plays with dolls'. All the girls and I raised our hands. The class and the teacher were aghast. She asked me about this. I explained I played with GI Joes. The boys took umbrage, shouting they are not dolls they were action figures. Yeah right.
those are reallly cool..I don't know why, but I've never been all that excited about the movies...but the action figures are way cool.
Speaking of action figures, the little girl told her mom she wanted a Barbie Doll and a GI Joe doll. Her mother said that Barbie comes with Ken. Little girl said no, she fakes with Ken, she comes with GI Joe.
@ The Blog Fodder -- HAHAHAHAHA!
I like your action figures. Captain America is impressive. Love your sister’s comment!
