Action Figure Action!


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.

  1. 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.

  3. 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?

  5. I love action figures! These are awesome! I've gone with the 4" size as they are a bit more reasonable.

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

  16. Now your sister has a great marketing idea there, combining the action figure with some -- action.

  17. 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.

  18. @ Travel and @ Breenlantern (Sassybear) -- Thanks for the link! Impressive DC superhero and memorabilia collection. I'm an amateur collector compared to you, Sassybear!

  19. @ Sixpence Notthewiser -- Hey, what those action figures do on their OWN time is THEIR business, lol!

    ReplyDelete
  20. @ 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.

  30. 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!

  31. 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.

  32. You must quote your sister more often.

  34. Happy dusting! May your plastic action figures bring you many years of happiness.

  35. 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.

  36. 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.

  37. 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.
