Q: What’s Better Than Storing Your Action Figures in Big Plastic Tubs?

A: Actually having space to display them! 😀

A couple of days ago, I was lamenting having to move all of the action figures I had, not because we were moving, but because we had decided to install new carpeting. A few of them were on display in a small bookshelf that was mostly filled with books, and the balance were stored in big plastic tubs that I used to call “Staging Area One.” The carpet went in earlier this week, and I’ve been spending the last couple of days setting up the new display.

We got rid of the old bookshelf and added more shelving cubes. In all, there are forty-nine 1-foot square cubes, and I’ve got figures in thirty-one of them, and extra figures and customizing supplies in fourteen more. I’d guess I’ve got at least five times more display space than I used to.

Understanding the Disney Acquisition of Marvel – G4tv.com

G4’s Attack of the Show provides a nice summary of the possible motivation and downstream impact of Disney’s acquisition of Marvel.

  • Minimal impact to the comics business, but look to make it more of a cash cow
  • Cash infusion to help develop more Marvel movies, but…
  • … may impact movies that have less of a broad mass market appeal, like Thor

More Pics of Hot Toys Marvel Movie Masterpiece Battle-Damaged Iron Man Mark III

Saw these first on TheFwoosh.com in the Mark III Iron Man Battle Damaged thread, from a Chinese blog called Plastic Enemies.

Looks like the battle-damaged version of the Mark III Iron Man will have the same guidance flaps like the first Mark III, a flip-up mask like the Mark II Iron Man (versus interchangeable Stark head like the original Mark III), a removable chest plate, and an articulated panel on the forearm.  Oh yeah, the battle damage too.

I’ll probably have to pick one of these up, even though I kind of want to wait to see what Hot Toys does with the Iron Man 2 armors.
