This Week In Your Plastic Crack, Action Figures and Toy Collection 26 26

Got this guy back from AFA yesterday.

For a modern, I don't really know how great 9.0 is, but I didn't see many issues with the figure at all when I submitted it.

9.0?  Is that a new scale?   I thought AFA grades were on a 100 scale (ie 90 not 9?)

I think this is fairly new. First time I've submitted in years tho, so not sure if they are still using both scales or have gone strictly to this one.

That's the modern grading scale.

[Bronty]

okay, thanks.. seems odd to have two different scales!

It gets wierder (and confusing) when you see how this all breaks out with competing graders.

Just found this thread - awesome stuff everyone!

I collect Marvel toys from 1970 - 1980.

Here are some recent pick-ups.

I turned the shoe rack in my closet into a little toy display so I can look at some of my stuff while I'm getting ready.

And the ever growing stash - plastic crack indeed.

[comicwiz]

So cool @wormboy!

Thanks @comicwiz!

Here's a photo I took sometime last year, combining a number of pieces and collecting interests in one shot. The OA is a trading card pitch piece which included too many of my favourite character and/or elements from ESB (one of my favourite movies from the original trilogy) to pass up, flanked by Vader and Yoda MOC's and loose figures, variations, etc.

Lovin That!!!

My stuff is all displayed, my bedroom looks like it should be a 10 year olds, not a 62 year olds.

Love that Hulk Head @wormboy!

[wormboy]

Thanks @DocHoppus182!

Believe it or not, it took me years to find one in a decent box.

[wormboy]

I've also got a few toys on my bookshelf in the 'themed' section:

Sandman shelf:

Goon Shelf:

Conan Shelf:

Akira Shelf:

BPRD Shelf (still looking for a reasonably priced Mezco Liz for this empty spot in the center):

Swamp Thing Shelf:

Picked this up down the street this weekend. 

2nd time in a couple months that I've bought something in my small town.  

Never out of package.  Box could be nicer, but I can't complain.

That's pretty sweet! Can't really tell how big it is by the picture....i don't remember those being on the shelf as a kid...

[followtheleader]

It's really huge.   

The dinosaur is over 2 feet long and 1 foot tall.  

Now I have to decide if I need to remove it from the package to pull the battery out.   Which I REALLY don't want to do.
