McFarlane Toys.

McFarlane figures.

Well ever since my first purchase of a Spawn figure, I had been addicted to McFarlane toys. Years back, I sold my entire Spawn figure collection (I had about thirty) and the money went into fixing my and my X wife’s car. But, back then I new I couldn’t stay away from the detail and awesomeness McFarlane put into his figures. I soon was given a Legend of Sleepy Hollow figure from my x for an Anniversary gift, the coolest memory I have of that is one night around Halloween we had the figure on a shelf, and two really spooky Tree like candles holders on either side, with the candles lit and the lights off it was REALLY spooky as hell to see the headless horse man rearing in the shadows. It also didn’t help we lived in northern Vermont in the lands of the legend.


The Headless Horse Man!

Years later I bought into the McFarlane Military series which I will display today. I’m also in to the HALO McFarlane’s but that is for the What I’m building on the massive HALO thread. Soon to come. First I’ll start off with the two Sports figures I have, I had some red sox but sold them a year or so back, I really am Cutting back on my toy collection. BUT The Tony Stewart figures here deserve a place on my page as he is my favorite NASCAR driver.


Yes Tony is holding a Spartan Battle rifle. No idea why but my buddy Boba Cox put it there and it’s been there ever since.

So, below is the McFarlane Military series US Marines. OOHRAHHH Who doesn’t love the USMC? My Gramps was a high ranking Lifer, and many more of my family followed the path. They are the badest of the bad, soo when McFarlane announced they were hooking the military up, I new I would get all and every USMC they made. And so I did. Below is the entire USMC Modern collection. McFarlane is working on older wars now, and my hope is they touch on Rome and Samurai times as the amount of detail put into these figures is FLAWLESS. So with out further babble here is The USMC McFarlane collection.

PS. I have no issue with any of the other four branches of US Armed forces, You are all bad ass heroes in my opinion!

Mortal Kombat - Figures. Jazwares. 2006

Well now on to two Ninja who for the past year laid protection over my desk. My favorite adversary's, Sub Zero and Scorpion. Scorpion by far my favorite. These two Ninja warriors were a must for my collection. Years ago, GI Joe like Versions were made. These much bigger and menacing versions are a must for any Mortal Kombat fiend. Now for sale on my e-bay page under the name Kunimitsu, they may be yours. They had indeed been enjoyed in a display fashion for all at my job :)

Forces of Valor - Roman Soldiers. 2006.

Well first off let me state, I am selling most of my collection off. I've decided I've been a hard core collector for way to long, and not that it has cut in to my life as of late, But, I would rather spend my Money in other area's such as rebuilding my Teen age car My 65 ford galaxie. That being said, I will not be getting out of collecting full force, I will still collect my Star Wars Legos, McFarlane Halo, and GI Joe new ones as they are released. But my focus on other toy collections is done, and so is the room for them in my Collectible room. Although they had brought countless moments of enjoyment, I now want to share them through E-bay and other means to you or others who can have the same or more enjoyment with them as I had. So That being said, I bring you one of my favorites, Now on sale on E-bay. The entire Forces of Valor Roman Collection.

I got into these right about the same time I had started Playing Rome Total War on the PC. I love the roman era, I even own a Centurion Helmet, I Love the roman history, and their means of warfare. So it was no shock that when I first came across a set of these soldiers in a Target here in Texas did I hunt the entire collection down including the last Two two packs that were released and VERY VERY hard to come buy.

Below are a series of the pictures of these Legionaries. I took them one to share them and two to have them as memories to look back on as they will leave my collection soon enough. Enjoy.

Lego Star Wars set #7671 AT-AP Walker.

A vehicle I didn't notice was in Episode III until I saw it on a Star Wars figure box art, still non the less, Bad ass looking. I am a sucker for the walkers, Especially the ATST, in which I would be first in line if they ever made one. So there is no question that I would like it's early brother the three legged AT-AP. The set was fantastic to build and didn't fall apart by just looking at it like the AT-PT set did. My only beef is that lego seldom gives the troops needed for the seats on each vehicle, Like the ATPT, ATAT or Famed Drop Ship. I would gladly pay the extra fifty cents for an additional fugue to fill the on e empty co pilot seat in this vehicle, yet I had to resort to filling it with a troop builder pack. None the less this vehicle gets a eight star rating from me! Fun to build doesn't fall apart, and if it wasn't for the empty co pilot seat it would get a full ten stars.

Star Wars Modern Hoth and Endor Battle Packs.

Star Wars Modern Hoth and Endor Battle Packs. 2007 Target Exclusives.

Both sets are fantastic! I bought both for the imperials alone. Shown here though in their pre 'I ripped into em' faze these sets came with the equal amount of Rebels (in which I sold off paying for my share of the Imperials) both sets come with ATST's a vehicle I wish was real. One in Endor the other Hoth markings. Both ATST Drivers are variant head sculpts, and the assorted Scout troopers and Snow troopers were all available at one point in other collections, The scout being the Comic Convention Shadow Scout previously released. As you can see these sets just add to my ever growing Imperial War Machine. I had a buddy ask me, "If you sell all the rebels, who does your Imperials war against." Well in my whacked realm of imagination the clones. Yes the Clones are evil and fight for a republic, and The Imperials are a saving force of freedom and light in a horrible galaxy. Wow, Ok I'm going to go have a Pint now……

Star Wars Modern – Republic Commando's Delta Squad

Star Wars Modern – Republic Commando's Delta Squad Set and Scorch Carded. 2006. Saga Collection.

Well Star Wars is second to me to GI Joe. That being said, I once was what many would call, a completest. I collected EVERY Star Wars Figure and had EVERY Star Wars figure of the new line carded. It was like an Evil obsession. All the way up to episode II I had em all, and then quiet recently I gave up. Parted and either sold or gave away the majority of my collection. Cutting it down to strictly Imperials, Clones and Jawa's for my Modern collection. This being said I started going into my collection and opening the boxed sets I had and selling the assorted non clones and imps on rebelscum.com one of these recent sets was the Entertainment earth limited exclusive Republic Commando set. Shown below before I opened it and sold the Geanosians off.

I kept the republic commando's one because I collect the clones, and two I loved the game for the X Box that they were made after. All four are exclusive to the boxed set save for the carded Commando below. He is to date the only commando available out side of the exclusive. Enjoy
