Pains of a Collector Top 5 Pain is definitely DUSTING. Every couple of months I get around to dedicating a day or two on 1, maybe 2 display shelves and will remove all of the figures from that respective shelf and cleaning both the figures and the surface they're displayed on. Yesterday was Marvel and MOTU day, granted I only got the tops of those shelves, but that's where the most work is needed anyways. Meticulously moving each and every figure from their displays over to my desk, all the while trying not to bump anything as to knock them over, which is a pain considering how tedious it is to pose and stand some figures. These case I coordinate and move the Marvel stuff off...clean....then I move the MOTU stuff over to the Marvel shelf and then will clean the MOTU area and then rinse- reverse. This time I took the opportunity to re-position the figures to allow for more space for not only the new figures I got over Christmas, but for the figures I have on pre-order. I managed some xtra space on both shelves and have some extra room now to accommodate current and some future figures on the way. #nerd #toys #collector #actionfigures #pain #woe #dust #marvel #marvellegends #nerdcream #newyearsameme #nerdcream (at The Moon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnOI9SVMD5G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MY FIRST MARVEL LEGENDS WINDOWLESS BOXED FIGURE. A NEW ERA I know. I just went down a rabbit hole of "how awful are the new Marvel Legends windowless boxes" and found them terrifically awful , for the most part. I've been seeing the onslaught of windowless Spider-Men and all of their paint gaffs literally everywhere...and then there he was. Of course after a night I drove all over town excited to find a Venom 2 Pack to no avail- (after watching a wicked review of him on Tik Tok. OMG. He might be my new favorite Gargoyle) the last stop right before closing Gamestop had a Sentry I knew was coming, but completely forgot about. And he's kind of awesome. Will this ease my mind about windowless boxes being excuses for Hasbro to cut costs on testing and QA? Probably not, but I wanted to live in a world where there was a Sentry figure that could be awesome and I now live in that world. I do, however, have a note concerning how weird the unboxing experience is now and it very much reminds me of opening the old G.I. Joe vehicles when I was a kid. The only window back then was for the figures, and then you open a box to a bunch of packaged parts and you still haven't unboxed the figure. It was also like stereo equipment...or most appliances these days, only not near as heavy and not encased in Styrofoam and you have to either wedge the box between your legs or get someone to help you with the tug of war of removing the item from the vacuumed package. It's way easier unboxing a Marvel Legends figure than an Ice Maker. You can quote me on that. #toys #figures #actionfigures #collector #unboxed #easy #canada🇨🇦 #nerd #marvel #sentry #marvellegends (at The Moon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CikWvs9uUL9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I found a new haunt for hunts @comics.garage looking for the new ECHOLANDS trade and they sold me a bundle of the single issues instead. Selling some nice bundled story arcs is a great way to get the coveted stories without all the hunting for floppies if you're behind or plain late to the party. (Like I was with ECHOLANDS) They're taking orders and subscription customers. I like the cut of their jib. Give'em a looksee if in the Niagara area. #comics #comicbooks #comicsgarage #collector #nerd #nerdcream #lcbs https://www.instagram.com/p/ChxtdWKOSmP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The new Deluxe Throne Spawn and Mortal Kombat 11 Commando Spawn. Two great new figures from @mcfarlane_toys_official They both are great looking figures filled with awesome details. The only thing to really be said as critique is that the Commando Spawn is very difficult to stand, even with the stand piece for support. Something off with the cape balancing) So, I'm Leary where to display without worry of it taking the rest of the shelf down with him when he falls. Might need some extra help there. Also thinking of an LCD light setup to bring "light" to those fire flame weapons. I might also put a dirty wash on the throne to bring out more of the awesome sculpted details. #toys #collector #nerd #spawn #comics #comicbooks #videogames #commandospawn #display #standing #painting #canada #nerdcream #unbox (at The Moon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg7sy-vuC_J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

HASBRO MARVEL LEGENDS THOR LOVE and THUNDER Despite the fact that Korg is probably one of the worst BAFS ever, this wave is actually pretty good.(and Korg isn't all bad. Some nice detailing lost with the flat coloring) The figures themselves are a lot better in hand than online photos and the only real complaint (other than the BAF) are some off sculpts with Ravager "Just out of the Shower" Thor and Star "Puffy" Lord and also I'd like that if prices are gonna hike higher and higher that we could get some nice ambient in the paint jobs. That's it, really. That Gorr head sculpt is so good it needs a Bat cowl. (Makes up for some standing issues) King Valkyrie is a wicked blend of mattes and shiny and Groot is surprisingly one of the funnest figures to pose with all of his appendage accessories I've seen in a long time. (From any U.S. toy company anyway) B+ - Nice details - Nice head sculpts - Best Groot ever Nice-to-Haves - Ambient paint base - Balance of alternate Head/Hands - Display stands #DearHasbro #hasbro #marvellegends #marvel #thor #mcu #loveandthunder #valkyrie #gorrthegodbutcher #starlord #groot #korg #toys #figures #collector #nerd #nerdcream #2022 #canada https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceu1B0Ms7Zj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And not only does it feature classic covers and a bunch of puzzle stickers, it also includes 1 page biographies of a slew of characters featured in those classic issues. Black Widow, Ms Marvel, She-Hulk, Ant Man &The Wasp, and many more. This gem was found at Walmart, hidden on a bookshelf in the back against a wall practically hiding. But it WAS found and its nerdery will be enjoyed as it is as nerdy as it is glorious. #book #stickers #puzzles #art #characters #nerdy #Marvel #comics #comicbooks #comiccovers #classic #nerd #nerdcream #2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc_Wj1Auayo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After a few months trying to figure out what I wanted to do with these guys, the wife took a look and simply said, "Why don't you just put up some of those Funko shelves?"

DISNEY+ MARVEL WAVE I didn't get the whole wave (yet) Being in lockdown has forced some more frugal practices in order to enjoy collecting sans "hunting". (I'm putting more money into pre-orders, a habit I don't like to do, but desperate measures and all that) The two in this wave I wanted the most were the two alternate Captain Americas (post Steve Rogers) Sam Wilson and John F. Walker I am a huge Cap fan and seeing the alternate takes handling the mantle played out in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was very interesting and shows that being CAPTAIN AMERICA isn't just super serum and military training. The BAF being the flight gear with stand to allow the Sam Wilson Cap to display his final form. I look forward to posting once I've picked up the rest of the wave. #mcu #hasbro #marvellegends #marvellegendscommunity #disneyplus #falconandwintersoldier #samwilson #falcon #johnfwalker #usagent #actionfigures #collector #canada🇨🇦 #nerd #nerdcream (at The Moon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPzhIponahh/?utm_medium=tumblr
