When I first saw the press release celebrating 
20th anniversary of Captain America, I was completely confused. Captain America made his debut in 1941 so it wasn’t the right anniversary. Then I thought about the Marvel movies and how many people love those films. The first movie in the MCU was Iron Man and that came out in 2008. Captain America: The First Avenger premiered in 2011. My research led me to 2001 which is 20 years ago. Continue reading

Equipment: Star Wars the Black Series 6-Inch Artillery Stormtrooper Figure Amazon Exclusive
The Star Wars Black Series line from Hasbro is 
my favorite thing to collect. I like the poseability and the quality of the sculpts which makes them both fun to play with, while also being attractive enough to display on a shelf. That works for both the openers and the in box collectors. As for me, I am an opener. I think it is a waste to keep everything mint in package, but that is just me. My favorite thing to do with my Black Series figures is action figure photography. I have found that Stormtroopers make the best subjects and are quite photogenic. The real truth is that the joints do not stand out in photos thus making the Stormtroopers look real. So basically, every time Hasbro releases a new trooper I have to pick it up for troop building.

Equipment: Hallmark Keepsake Event Exclusive Ornament Star Trek IV: Klingon Bird of Prey
The events of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
left the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise in dire straits. Kirk and his officers had blatantly disobeyed Starfleet’s orders not to go to the “Genesis Planet.” To get there they stole Enterprise to use as transportation and subsequently lost her in a battle with a Klingon Bird of Prey. Eventually, they made it to Vulcan so Spock’s katra could be removed from Dr. McCoy and placed back in Spock. Everyone involved remained on Vulcan in order to hide out from Starfleet. Eventually (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) the decision was made to return to Earth and stand trial for their crimes. Using the stolen Klingon Bird of Prey, which they dubbed HMS Bounty, the former crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise went home. Continue reading

Equipment: Keep Time with This Out of This World Collection of Star Wars Watches from Citizen
As Autumn is upon us, Citizen is launching
new styles to it Star Wars Collection for consumers to commemorate the iconic franchise.
The Star Wars Ana-Digi Collection was created to have a vintage appeal and authentic styling that pays homage to the Original Trilogy. Citizen originally introduced the ANA-DIGI TEMP model in the 1980s. This model was both popular in the local Japan market as well as globally. As the name suggests, this watch combines both analog and digital elements together in a unique design. The ANA-DIGI TEMP does more than just display the time, it is a multifunctional watch that also includes a Celsius temperature sensor. This popular model with its iconic, retro-futuristic square shape was reissued in 2018 in collaboration with Beams. Continue reading

Equipment: Star Wars the Black Series Gaming Greats 6-Inch RC-1138 (BOSS) Figure Coming Exclusively to GameStop
This past Tuesday Hasbro announced another
retailer exclusive. The figure this time is another video game related Gaming Great which is set to be only available at GameStop. Personally, I really like the Gaming Greats figures even though some of them are just repaints. While others receive different accessories just to make the figure appear a bit altered. One of my favorites is the Scout Trooper from Star Wars: Fallen Order. Even though he is just like the other Scout Troopers I have he came with an electro riot baton and a shoulder pauldron, thus I needed that for my collection as well.

Equipment: Marvel Select Gladiator Hulk from Diamond Select Toys
I have heard collectors use the term “grail” 
when referring to a highly sought after figure or item. I don’t think that there was any one figure out there that I needed so much that I would call it my “grail.” The only figure that might meet these criteria would have to be the Gladiator Hulk in the Marvel Select line from Diamond Select Toys. I missed out when it was first released and I thought I would never have one for my collection; this is the one time that being wrong was a good thing. I finally have my Hulk. Continue reading
